KEY POINTS:
ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
The opportunity to make amends should be seized upon. Once you put things right, a sense of completion or clear conscience should brighten your mood. Dignity and respect may mean more to you than usual.
TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
Mercury the communicator moves into your region of expansion. The urge to spread your wings is strong and should not be ignored. At the very least, time spent outside your usual environment or routine will add variety.
GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
Straight talking is required to get your message across. As ruling Mercury repositions itself in practical Capricorn, idle chitchat and trivial issues become redundant. Instead you pinpoint serious subjects and express them with clarity.
CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
Mercury the messenger in your partnership zone stimulates formal and familiar discussions. Mutual respect is the key in working alliances but it is okay to let your guard down during intimate moments with those you love.
LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
You have been watching your back and playing the necessary games. Now practical planets compel you to re-consider your position so that you feel more relaxed. Belief in yourself helps shore up the decisions you make today.
VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
Take the lead to ensure there is never a dull moment. If anyone raises objections to your plans, use innate clever verbal skills as a means of persuasion. Sharp arrows of resentment could occasionally come your way.
LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
Someone you trust gifts you with a solution to an ongoing problem. Now you can start looking around for new ventures that help broaden your scope for success. Flex those muscles of independence and make others proud.
SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
As the relationship dynamics change you can expect a more equitable distribution of power. And whereas in the past you have apportioned blame to others, the onus now falls on you to take responsibility for your own actions.
SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
The planetary mix points out your strengths and weaknesses. You are powerful yet vulnerable and must be doubly careful when entering new situations. The choices might appear clear-cut but you must look below the surface.
CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
Others would rather you acted spontaneously but caution is your middle name. You need time to consider cause and effect, as well as to weigh up peoples' motives. However, once a decision is reached you remain committed.
AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
Your tight grip on a person or possession is a reflection of insecurity. Lighten up and learn that you cannot control every situation but might benefit from letting go. You are unlikely to lose what is rightfully yours.
PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
From an intellectual standpoint you are a cut above others. Quick-thinking Mercury comes to the rescue, providing you with clever answers and witty retorts. Physically you may feel flat at times but gentle exercise helps.
YOUR DAY
Gratifying feedback reinforces people are on the right path. It also provides a much-needed ego boost to those whose confidence has been waning. Moon in Aries engenders a guileless generosity of spirit today, while simultaneously Jupiter adds an element of luck and good timing.
YOUR BIRTHDAY
Finding a kindred soul makes you more inclined to take risks. Plans that have been in the process for months, but are in need of a partner's input, take off early in the year. Travel, adventure and learning are all possible during this positive cycle.
