KEY POINTS:
ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
Taking issues to heart often magnifies them. Keep your distance today and offer assistance or advice only in situations that make you feel comfortable. You cannot be everything to everyone and must be more selective.
TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
Offer emotional support but draw the line at making decisions for others. Mercury the communicator encourages you to open up dialogue with loved ones, but highlights that shared responsibility is the key to successful relationships.
GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
Feisty people enliven you and give the day more purpose. Also, ruling Mercury heightens perception and very little will escape your eagle eye. The only downside could be a tendency to read too much into situations.
CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
If there was opposition to a plan previously put forward, you can now successfully sell it to others. Your ruler the Moon passes the peak of your chart, bringing an elevation in status and wider acceptance.
LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
Your ability to put a positive spin on events stands you in good stead. An idea that might normally be doomed to failure could well succeed because of the unique way you produce and present it.
VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
If someone you respect offers sound advice, act on it. There is a strong case for putting aside personal bias and taking your cue from people with the expertise you lack. Place yourself in the subordinate role.
LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
Crunch the numbers before making a financial commitment. Impulsive energy could tempt you to outlay money without considering either the long-term implications or welfare of the people around you. Be sensible and take your time.
SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
Yours is a responsive sign and however others treat you usually determines your reaction. That's why with fiery influences at work today it will be difficult to hold your tongue and act pleasantly towards certain people.
SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
Now that the dust has settled on an issue, your role can be expanded. Ruling Jupiter passaging your sign opens doors of opportunity and provides a much-needed boost of confidence. Capitalise on your cycle of good fortune.
CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
Happier thoughts and higher levels of optimism help you overcome obstacles. And if someone's petulance has recently caused hiccups in your personal life, you can expect that relationship to gradually turn in your favour.
AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
Whether you are dragged into a situation or volunteer your services, success is on the cards. Feelings of satisfaction come from discovering new interests, talents and friendships in unexpected ways. Allow your circle to expand.
PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
Let ideas percolate and be sure of your position. Impetuosity presents a problem and you must temper enthusiasm in order to avoid embarrassment or silly mistakes. It may pain you to wait, but time is your ally.
YOUR DAY
Take advantage of fervent energy, but avoid foolish leaps of faith. It will be easier than usual to get carried away and lose sight of the reality of situations. Dig below the surface today and recognise that there are many different layers to a person or proposal.
YOUR BIRTHDAY
An awareness of the wider world prompts you to look further afield for opportunities. Ambitions are stirred, with financial security and personal development looming as your prime motivators in 2007. Just avoid burning your bridges in case a new situation fails to meet expectations.
