ARIES:  (March 21 to April 20) You usual brand of behaviour or humour will once again save situations from getting out of hand.  You may be the person others turn to when an argument needs to be diffused or a daring decision made. 

TAURUS:  (April 21 to May 21)
Someone who seems worlds apart in temperament or principle may suddenly start seeing things your way.  In return you must be willing to meet him or her half way and show a desire to work for the common good. 

GEMINI:  (May 22 to June 21)
An issue that has been causing concern may suddenly seem unimportant and waste of emotional energy.  The planets help you to see situations in a more positive light, especially where family, financial or career issues are concerned.

CANCER:  (June 22 to July 23)
Affairs of the heart will start to take precedence soon and you must be careful not allow past prejudice to influence your decisions.  Take a step back and analyse each problem or person with an objective eye.

LEO:  (July 24 to August 23)
Rather than retaliating when others are grumpy or petulant, you will good-humouredly laugh off their antics.  As a result, the mood is likely to change and the atmosphere at home or work will become more harmonious. 

VIRGO:  (August 24 to September 23)
Buoyed by good news, a pleasant experience or flattery, your disposition will change for the better.  Someone special who has shown loyalty or stroked your ego is likely to be your new best friend. 

LIBRA:  (September 24 to October 23)
Your ability to relate to people from all walks of life gives you a clear advantage when the competition is keen.  You will know instinctively when to speak, what to say and how to elicit positive responses. 

SCORPIO:  (October 24 to November 22) 
If you are currently mired in a rut and need rescuing, solicit help from someone who is equally sympathetic and a go-getter.  Wishing and hoping will not work, but a proactive approach should get the ball rolling. 

SAGITTARIUS:  (November 23 to December 22) 
Planning is important for your sign during this animated phase, so set yourself some short-range goals and fine-tune your clever ideas.  Success is indicated for those who act quickly and are prepared to take risks. 

CAPRICORN:  (December 23 to January 20) 
Even with the best of intentions you may put your foot in it today.  Your idea of honesty might be interpreted as rudeness and additional tact or diplomacy should be applied to all discussions and demands. 

AQUARIUS:  (January 21 to February 19) 
Relationships remain in the spotlight and that prickly problem you have been dealing with for months may need to be revisited.  There could be a tendency for you to overreact today and dramatise trivial issues. 

PISCES:  (February 20 to March 20) 
Being self-confident is commendable, but there may be a fine line today between certainty and arrogance.  Check your temper and ego in at the door, and be realistic about your abilities, aims and popularity with others. 

YOUR DAY 
Animated discussions may be interesting but devoid of substance.  There could be more talk than action today, as well as distractions in the work place or domestically.  For every problem that arises there are likely to be several different solutions, the key is working out which one makes the most sense.

YOUR BIRTHDAY 
You might take two steps forward and one back, but the end goal is worth waiting for.  Settle for quality over quantity this year and learn to appreciate the value in life's simpler pleasures.  Relationships may seem secure rather than stimulating and you will favour mature people.
