ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
If someone attempts to pour cold water on one of your ideas, take it as a compliment rather than feeling offended. With your communication skills at a peak, you will be the one others want to emulate.

TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
A valuable lesson you learned recently may be put to the test. Either a loved one will turn to you for advice or you will be given an opportunity to show off your newfound wisdom in business.

GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
Once you pledge your time or money, remember that it will be difficult to break your word. The planets urge you to think twice about rushing into long-term-commitments or making promises that are impractical at best.

CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
You may have to tweak a plan or arrangement at the edges, but the outcomes are likely to exceed expectations. You are in a fresh cycle of life and it appears you will soon achieve recognition.

LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
The mercurial energy helps you assess situations at a glance and think on your feet. Just a word of warning though, today's fast tempo could cause you to gloss over serious issues and miss vital clues.

VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
Although you thrive on a job well done, you must be wary of devoting too much time or energy to a particular cause. Surprise twists and turns are likely to sap your strength or blow the budget.

LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
You may believe you have all the answers, but there is a fine line between confidence and conceit. The planetary patterns suggest you would be wise to curb your tongue and closely guard your personal secrets.

SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
You have a marvellous ability to bounce back from adversity and persevere when others give up. However, you need to find the right mission to focus on or there is a danger you will scatter your energies.

SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
The temptation to risk all for love, fleeting happiness or an experimental undertaking would be unwise at this stage. Weigh up the long-term implications of any proposal by doing your research and reviewing all the options

CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
Despite the doubts and suspicions you harbour, the planets encourage you to put your trust in a person or project. Not only are your fears likely to prove unfounded, but there is also the possibility of a pleasant surprise.

AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
Time is on your side, so aim for quality rather than quality. By setting high standards and following protocol, you will make an impact on the lives of others and can take pride in your personal achievements.

PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
Stand up for your rights, but avoid arguing over trivial issues. There could be a tendency for you to pay too much attention to detail or exaggerate the importance of situations. Practise the art of detachment today.

YOUR DAY
Moon in mercurial Gemini encourages people to experiment, re-educate themselves and engage in lively discussions. Boundaries may be stretched today restrictions lifted, or there will be a tendency to take the most radical course of action. It may also be difficult to pin others down or reach agreement when several different parties are involved in a debate or dispute.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
You may be just one step away from sealing a deal, getting a relationship back on track or completing a project. The onus is now on you to tie up loose ends and achieve the most positive outcome. Hope and help materialise this year in mainly unexpected forms.
