ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
You may be prepared to give someone the benefit of the doubt, but should not expect the same courtesy from others. There will be trust issues today and you faith in human nature or optimism may be tested.

TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
A sudden decision or turn of events could come as a complete surprise and catch you off guard. Deep down you dislike the idea of change, but all signs point towards altered outcomes working in your favour.

GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
Rather than taking the moral high ground, accept that you have made mistakes yourself and empathise with others. Cast yourself in mentor or manager, so that you can pass on valuable lessons of wisdom and experience.

CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
Remember that the tighter you hold on, the more likely something or someone will slip from your grasp. There is a fine line between protecting what is yours and being overly possessive with those you love.

CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
If you have been pondering personal or professional change, now is a good time to set the wheels in motion. Your motivation is high and the resources or know-how you once lacked may be more readily available.

YOUR DAY
As the energy wanes, enthusiasm or productivity levels may fall. Avoid taking on too much, set achievable goals and work alongside others for the best results. Timing is everything and if events fall into place easily, pursue that advantage rather than pressing ahead with projects that seem to be going nowhere. Colourful characters and out of the ordinary experiences may add interest.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
Whether you admit or not, a relationship, job, or leisure interest has reached its use-by date. As the months unfold, you must ease your way out and set up something new for yourself. Rather than feeling sad about a situation ending, you should be excited about what the future holds.
