ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
Saturn continues to toughen you up, teaching you how deflect criticism and take setbacks in your stride. With newfound strength you will overcome obstacles and rise above the nitpicking and negativity of the people around you.

TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
The niceties of life count for more than usual, prompting you to take time out to interact with people who are lonely, less fortunate or likeable. Moon in your sign keeps you attuned to the needs of others.

GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
Ruling Mercury continues to create mayhem and keep you busy. However, because variety is your oxygen you will relish change, spontaneous invitations and the opportunity to network with people from different walks of life.

CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
If you have been waiting quietly in the wings for an opportunity to showcase your skills or capture the spotlight, your time could come soon. A subtle shift in energy changes the way other people perceive you.

LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
Despite delays or self-denial, you are actually getting what you want. Progress is slow and doubts continue creeping into your psyche, but learning lessons the hard way means they will remain etched in your memory forever.

VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
Reserve the right to ponder your options before accepting or refusing an offer. Some of the suggestions others make may seem attractive at first, but there will be more at stake this month than meets the eye.

LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
Deeper understanding may develop between you and a person who seems your opposite in many ways. And while the two of you are unlikely to become firm friends, you will learn to respect each other's opinions and abilities.

SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
Moon in the joint venture zone puts a fresh spark of energy into a long-standing romantic or business partnership. Communication and dialogue will be witty and free flowing, with flirtatious nuances that make your life more interesting.

SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22) An aspect of your life that has long been out of balance needs to be redressed. The key to successful change lies in your ability to let go and move on without hurting others or depriving yourself.

CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
You may get in a few cheap shots, but it really is below you to bring nastiness into relationships. Because your sign is respectful by nature you must employ subtle tactics when putting your point across.

AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
With the emphasis on home and family matters, some of you may engage in an emotional tug of war while others change their domestic set-up. Observe loved ones closely and tailor your responses to match their moods.

PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
Your even-handedness will have a positive effect on others, encouraging them to be honest with you. Any damage done to a close relationship in the recent past can be repaired through closer contact and more compassion.

YOUR DAY
Moon in pragmatic Taurus helps cut through the irrelevance in issues and get straight to the point. May people will be immersed in their own little world and windows of opportunity will shut as quickly as they crack open. The spoils will go to those who act rather than talk.

YOUR DAY
Contentious issues will be resolved more easily thanks to co-operative energy. Subtle clues from family members may prompt you to share the love around and there will be greater equality in relationships. Keeping people happy could become your number one priority in the year ahead.
