ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
Moon in Scorpio bolsters courage and intensity, but as quickly as passions flare they are likely to be extinguished. Despite good intentions and ideas, you may lack the physical energy or commitment to follow through on ideas.

TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
Events may seem beyond your control, but there is a feeling of inevitability about where Taureans are heading at the moment. An issue or decision you have been avoiding should be confronted and dealt with.

GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
Despite arguing your case well, an opponent or pessimist may insist on having the last word. Moon and Mercury at odds put you on the back foot today and you will constantly be playing games of catch-up.

CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
You mood may be wistful or vague, but you this will endear you to others rather than work against you. Socially or in business, the chemistry between you and a compatible person might be difficult to ignore.

LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
An issue of conscience may arise or someone close will make you feel guilty. Try not to dwell on past mistakes or take the criticisms of others to heart. Instead focus on practical matters or pleasurable pastimes.

VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
You may feel emotionally abandoned or out of the social loop, but will either be in demand or admired in the business arena. Keep your head down and earn your stripes through diligence, reputation or hard work.

LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
Life works in mysterious ways and a coincidence or twist in circumstances could be a turning point for your sign. You might be heading down a particular path when an unusual person or unexpected event triggers change.

SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
Several compatible planets combined with Moon in your sign smooth the progress of relationships, business transactions, personal plans and work issues. Those seeking a promotion, rise, break or an injection of romance should seize the day.

SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
You may think the worst and will be pleasantly surprised when events flow in your favour. Moon in passionate Scorpio suggests an all-or-nothing approach and a tendency towards pessimism, secrecy or deceit. Avoid second-guessing people and situations.

CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
Self-belief is your most powerful tool and if others dismiss your ideas or try to impose their will, you should remain resolute. Indications are you will notch up a success and take pride in your achievements

AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
The pressure may be on to meet deadlines, or you will place unrealistic expectations on yourself. To avoid increased stress levels, seek advice or practical support from those around you and engage in gentle physical activity.

PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
Sudden changes in plans could prove to be a blessing in disguise. Insightful lunar energy manipulates events in your favour, while at the same time Mercury introduces newcomers who can make a huge difference in your life.

YOUR DAY
Emotion and logic work hand in hand, enabling people make more balanced judgements and wiser choices. In addition, those who have lacked enthusiasm may regain lost passion, while uncertain or insecure will types begin to grow in confidence. On the downside, a tendency to go to extremes could backfire on you today.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
The world may seem brighter or you will experience a surge in confidence. Use your gifts, moods and knowledge wisely in the upcoming year and you are likely to make great headway. There may be extra burdens placed on your shoulders, but you will happily accept the challenge.
