KEY POINTS:
ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
Never one to shirk a challenge, you nonetheless heave a heavy sigh when a daunting assignment lands in your lap. Even assistance from outside sources does little to lighten the load or relieve the stress you feel.
TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
You now see hope in a situation that up until recently appeared doomed. There is a hint of changing fortunes for your sign and with a different mindset you begin putting a more positive spin on events.
GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
Take time out of your normal routine to nurture relationships and indulge your senses. The energy around you is emotionally charged, making this an ideal time for romance, closeness and the pursuit of personal happiness.
CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
A recent change to your image, attitude and performance has potentially set you up for success. An authority figure might have an eye on you, so keep flaunting your assets in anticipation of a helping hand.
LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
Venus acts as a soothing balm on your nerves and relationships. Whether you are dealing with people inside or outside your circle, the sense of calm and poise you exude leads to a chain of successful encounters.
VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
After settling on an option that pleases everyone you can move forward with greater certainty. The planets provide a confidence boost that allows you to take on the role of leader without feeling shy or inept.
LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
In a flurry of activity you gain credibility with your peers while satisfying your own restless urges. And as you drift effortlessly between duties and different groups of people, you generally leave behind a favourable impression.
SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
Ignore the warning signs in a relationship at your own peril. There are currently no excuses for emotional hiccups but the onus is on you to remain vigilant and nip any potential problems in the bud.
SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
Your generous nature allows you to give others the benefit of the doubt. But having been burnt in the past you are now aware that others are often reluctant to grant you the same courtesy. Stay tough.
CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
A sudden turn of events recently caught you off guard yet steered you in a better direction. And while appreciation of your improved circumstances slowly sinks in, ruling Saturn continues to stir your ambitions further.
AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
Adept at taking the moral high ground, you come to realise that not all of your posturing is justified. The unusual slant you put on situations sets you apart, but not always for the right reasons.
PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
Keep in mind the tighter you hold on to something, the more likely it will slip from your grasp. Adopt a live and let live approach to life, even if that means going against your basic instincts.
YOUR DAY
With Moon in Scorpio, interest can easily turn to obsession. Stay within the boundaries of good taste where possible and keep wayward emotions in check. Blowing situations out of proportion is just as risky as understating their significance. Seek the middle ground today.
YOUR BIRTHDAY
Interest and resources build as your birthday year evolves. Provided you scrutinise every document and ponder all your options, successful outcomes can be achieved. People who have shown loyalty in the past deserve recognition, respect and a share of the rewards.
