ARIES:  (March 21 to April 20)  A recent failure to follow proper protocol or your lenient handling of a loved one may suddenly have consequences.  You can escape unscathed, but it may take some deft management, fast-talking or a sympathetic superior. 

TAURUS:  (April 21 to May 21) 
If unity or atonement is your goal, you should accept advice and admit where you went wrong.  It may be necessary to swallow your pride or pay penance, but negotiations should flow more smoothly than you expect. 

GEMINI:  (May 22 to June 21) 
A problem that has plagued you for months could be resolved in your favour some time soon.  The planets have you operating with higher levels of esteem and common sense, and synchronicity puts you in the right place. 

CANCER:  (June 22 to July 23) 
You may be feeling fragile and will circumvent problems wherever possible.  If you can take a short break from routine or pass the baton to someone capable of making decisions, less harm will be done today. 

LEO:  (July 24 to August 23) 
Rather than seeing yourself as a victim, take advantage of the underdog status to slip under someone's radar and prove your worth in tangible ways.  Your ability to turn negatives into positives is without equal in the zodiac. 

VIRGO:  (August 24 to September 23) 
Some may see you as rebellious, but others will admire the unusual slant you put on subjects and situations.  Rather than trying to win over the sceptics, bask in the glory of standing out from the crowd. 

LIBRA:  (September 24 to October 23) 
You may have to sacrifice leisure time to help others, but in your eyes the ends will justify the means.  This newfound maturity and enthusiasm can be attributed to positive vibes in your relationship and freethinking sectors. 

SCORPIO:  (October 24 to November 22) 
Several different options may open up and you will know instinctively which one to choose.  Some of you might opt for mini-makeover or break while others seek out that promotion, pay increase or luxury purchase. 

SAGITTARIUS:  (November 23 to December 22) 
Despite a colleague's best efforts, you will be difficult to win over today.  A clash of personalities or desires is likely as two stubborn people fight for supremacy or vie for a spot on centre stage. 

CAPRICORN:  (December 23 to January 20) 
If someone offers encouragement or valuable advice, make a mental note to return the favour sometime soon.  In a receptive mood, you will accept your limits and freely take lessons from those with the required expertise. 

AQUARIUS:  (January 21 to February 19) 
An aura of intrigue surrounds you and others will either gravitate towards you or hang on your every word.  Life is settling into a more stable pattern and petty problems can now be put behind you. 

PISCES:  (February 20 to March 20) 
Your language or exploits may be more colourful than usual, making you more appealing to some people but less attractive to others.  Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach to relationships, be discerning and guard your reputation. 

YOUR DAY 
People may be thin-skinned and apt to wear their hearts on their sleeves.  There is also a danger small problems will be blow out of proportion and it should be borne in mind that words spoken can never be taken back.  Stick close to home and avoid rocking the boat.

YOUR BIRTHDAY 
You may be keen to wind down a situation so that new opportunities can be seized upon.  However, before making fresh starts you must settle old scores and repent past sins.  Adopt a back-to-basics approach in the year ahead and life should flow smoothly.
