ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
You have the best of both worlds at your disposal and can enjoy greater freedom while continuing to make a valuable contribution. The culmination of recent plans and efforts looms, with feelings of fulfillment and financial rewards likely.

TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
As you struggle to make a choice or come to terms with a new situation, expect a few hiccups and bumps. Self-doubt may not be an issue, but poor timing and an aversion to change could cause problems.

GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
Your stubborn streak could lead to a standoff or will prevent you from experiencing something new. Hear others out before writing them off and open your mind up to new ideas or more up-to-date techniques.

CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
A person or idea may seem seductive, but further involvement might not be in your best interests. Rather than acting on impulse or allowing flattery to go to your head, try to make common sense decisions.

LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
Ask probing and personal questions even if you fear of the answers. It is important to find out where you stand and what the near future holds, especially in light of Saturn's current toughening up process.

VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
Niggling issues or strong-willed people may be gradually wearing you down. And while a change of scene or routine would be the perfect antidote to stress, emotional detachment is the next best thing. Launch a fight back.

LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
Before your expressing controversial views or placing yourself in the spotlight, make sure your ideas and image will stand up to scrutiny. Despite thinking you have all the answers, there may be someone waiting to trip you up.

SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
Something you have previously chosen to keep private can now be aired with confidence to those you love and trust. The planetary trend is towards more open communication without fear of judgement, reprisal or damage to relationships.

SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22) Your tolerance levels may be lower than usual and impulsive action or arguments could result problems. Unfortunately you reap what you sow today, so take a deep breath before letting off steam or behaving badly.

CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
Mars in your opposite sign makes you the more dominant partner in a relationship. However you must bear in mind that there is currently a fine line between protecting loved ones and being overly pedantic or possessive.

AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
Your loyalties might be divided, but fate gently guides you in the right direction. If you have to let go of a person or situation in order to move on, accept that the timing is probably perfect.

PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
You may be so preoccupied with an issue outside your control that you will lose perspective or fall behind with your schedule. Despite the number of times you ponder a problem, the answer will probably elude you.

YOUR DAY
With the Moon moving into adamant Aquarius, this is the ideal time to put your foot down and express personal opinions. And while others may be equally inflexible, issues come down to matters of principle. Deal with situations in an analytical way and leave emotion out of discussions, rulings and relationships.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
You should even up the ledger by either making amends for a past
mistake or forgiving someone who hurt you. This year is all about
re-structuring relationships and building on business or financial
foundations already laid. Every action will have a reaction and accountability is critical.
