KEY POINTS:
ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
Look at big picture issues and let others take care of the details. Mercury the messenger migrates into the progressive part of your chart, putting you among today's biggest movers and shakers. Get on the front foot.
TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
Having to strut your stuff on a bigger stage can be daunting but exhilarating. Forget your fears and if necessary fake how you feel. Planets at the high point of your horoscope catapult you into the spotlight.
GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
Suddenly your madcap suggestions are considered feasible. The pendulum of planets starts to swing your way and wonderful ideas come out of nowhere. Left-field thinking is your greatest strength and practicalities should be left to others.
CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
To avoid a fuss, leave nothing to chance. Forces might conspire against you today and despite your best efforts, mistakes will be made. Check your ego at the door and where necessary modify your methods or implementation.
LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
Zany energy strikes a chord and reminds you that in life anything goes. Rather than hanging with the usual crowd, offbeat people might be more appealing or an injection of variety could catapult you out of complacency.
VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
Always a stickler for detail, you must be wary of crossing the line into obsessive territory. Monitor your actions and pull back before becoming too involved. A sense of humour could be your saving grace today.
LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
A plan needs tweaking before being implemented. Allow a little breathing space and run a fresh eye over arrangements afterwards. You have the answers and skills today but need to work at your own pace.
SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
Pull some strings and repay favours later. There is a sense of urgency around an undertaking and to cut down on stress, you need to think in a linear fashion. Few things come easy today.
SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
Mercury highlights interaction with others but purely on a platonic level. Stimulating discussions or teamwork add purpose to the day, while a sense of camaraderie begins to flourish. You will not however suffer fools gladly.
CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
Nostalgic thoughts strike an emotional chord. Reminders of the past come in unusual ways and a person or set of circumstances is remembered fondly. But in usual fashion you quickly move on to more practical matters.
AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
The thinking planet Mercury joins friendly Venus in your sign. Abstract ideas and a busier social life are hallmarks of these planets but you must also be wary of burning the candle at both ends.
PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
An unpopular decision needs to be made. And rather than shirking from the duty, you find unusual ways to get your message across. Your ideas seem cutting edge to some but make perfect sense to you.
YOUR DAY
Mercury the planet of the mind moves into razor-sharp Aquarius. Not all ideas or decisions are crowd pleasers but at worst offer an unusual slant. Intellectual connections could be more prevalent and while friendships flourish during this phase, many of them are likely to be fleeting.
YOUR BIRTHDAY
With future security on your mind, ambitions go up a gear. And because you have such a strong work ethic, you confidently set high targets. Emotional and financial matters go hand in hand, bringing a business-like feel to relationships
