ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
As the lunar energy continues to build, you will be open to suggestions that aim at restoring peace and harmony in your personal life. People who are your emotional wavelength will be favoured companions today.

TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
Bad memories may be triggered and you will be keen to purge ghosts of the past. With a full Moon approaching, your wish may be granted sooner than later and you should prepare for events to climax.

GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
Your sign is usually objective, but feelings of empathy for others highlight your emotional side today. Just be wary of making rash decisions, as knee-jerk responses could potentially make a bad situation even worse.

CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
You will be happiest when you feel loved and needed, although inter-dependent relationships may work to your detriment in the long run. Questions whether your own insecurities are a motivating factor and pull back where necessary.

LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
You have the ability to breeze through situations others find tricky or daunting. As a bonus, your poise and certainty will win you the respect of those you work, socialise or live with. Bask in the glory.

VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
Although you may experience niggling anxieties, you will probably exude an air of calm. Ruling Mercury acts as a soothing balm in situations that once made you feel out of your depth or held little promise.

LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
Feelings that have long lain dormant may be aroused at unexpected times. But as much as you might love to rekindle a relationship or recreate a situation, there is simply no going back at this stage.

SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
A subtle shift in your awareness helps you to get more out of relationships and routine tasks. You may have a pressing urge to live in the moment or will worry less about things you cannot change.

SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22) Even if you are caught in the crossfire, the conflict between others is likely to go over your head. You will have a marvellous ability today to switch off and let loved ones sort out their differences.

CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20) The impending full Moon may bring greater clarity, but before that happens unpleasant issues need to be aired. You have a better ability than most to cut to the heart of issues and sift through the lies.

AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
In a sudden burst of awareness, you may decide a change of tactics is necessary. Also, if someone you admire has previously been unavailable for comment or advice, he or she could become a surprise ally.

PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
A desire to break out of the old order could drive you to make drastic decisions. Allow yourself some breathing space, bearing in mind that the lunar cycle currently favours contemplation in the run up to change.

YOUR DAY
People may be pleasant, but their gracious façade will probably conceal hidden resentments. Diplomacy is the order of the day and until the lunar energy peaks this weekend, feelings are unlikely to be ventilated. Good manners will take priority over personal problems and the need to be heard.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
Your sense of balance may be restored as events finally fall into place. Loved ones will be more attuned to your needs and desires, while in turn you may have greater input in relationships. Involve yourself in projects that are altruistic as well as personally satisfying.
