ARIES:  (March 21 to April 20)
You may have to pull a few strings or call in a favour in order to meet a demand or deadlines.  Some Aries will be inclined to overspend this month, while others face the consequences of December's excesses.

TAURUS:  (April 21 to May 21)
You may be wary of placing your trust in others or making long-term commitments.  Situations and feelings are likely to be blown out of proportion and it will be difficult to know where the truth really lies.

GEMINI:  (May 22 to June 21)
You may have forgotten how much a person, place, or project means to you until a small reminder brings memories flooding back.  There is a lot going on inside your head that loved ones are unaware of.

CANCER:  (June 22 to July 23)
Use your imagination, look for short cuts and listen to your inner voice.  There is positive change in the air for your sign and after months of uncertainty, you will relish the opportunity to try something new.

LEO:  (July 24 to August 23)
One of your decisions may prove unpopular, but in true Leo fashion you will steadfastly stick to your guns.  A domestic or family issue may take up your time and a difference of opinion could cause friction.

VIRGO:  (August 24 to September 23)
You will be content in your own way, yet still eager to find a new challenge or outlet for your energies.  Moon in your zone of expansion provides insight as to where you will be heading next.

LIBRA:  (September 24 to October 23)
With the powerful Sun poised to enter your adventure zone, the germ of idea will begin to flourish in the days ahead.  It may seem strange to others, but will prove a winner in the long term.

SCORPIO:  (October 24 to November 22)
The focus will switch from trivial issues to matters of much greater importance.  A joint financial venture or contractual agreement may take up time, but there are powerful forces at work to ensure a successful outcome.

SAGITTARIUS:  (November 23 to December 22)
With the spotlight set to fall on relationships, your social life and leisure time activities, the mood will be convivial.  Tie up loose ends, check your calendar and settle any outstanding scores before a new cycle begins.

CAPRICORN:  (December 23 to January 20)
There may be cause for celebration this week and you will cherish a thoughtful gift or gesture from someone who means a lot to you.  New knowledge and past experience can be put to good use today.

AQUARIUS:  (January 21 to February 19)
Your ideas may be interesting or unusual, but without follow through they will come to nothing.  Your downfall is apathy and if you can find someone to motivate you or lend a hand, success will come easier.

PISCES:  (February 20 to March 20)
Help could come from the most unexpected sources, allowing you a little extra breathing space.  Try to keep an open mind as you may soon be in a position to broaden your horizons or change your lifestyle.

YOUR DAY
While the Moon is in sensuous Taurus, people will be inclined to set their own pace and seek instant gratification.  However, the upside is most will be reliable and reluctant to hurt others.  Take care of those mundane and routine chores by day, before spoiling yourself and loved ones at night.  Useful social or work connections may be made in unexpected places this week.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
Money, property, or possessions could become the focus in the months ahead.  A strong desire to better yourself now or set up a more secure future will be the motivating force behind many of your decisions.  In affairs of the heart, you may also be anxious to get things moving.
