ARIES:  (March 21 to April 20)
A situation or project that ground to a halt last month will slowly regain momentum.  The stirrings of ambition and desire for security may be the forces that drive you for the remainder of the year. 

TAURUS:  (April 21 to May 21)
Moon poised on the brink of your sign teams up soon with Sun in your adventure zone.  This combination could see you leading with your heart and tackling assignments that normally seem daunting.  Expect both gains and losses. 

GEMINI:  (May 22 to June 21)
After period of self-analysis and hard work, you will probably settle for a peaceful rather than exciting existence.  Destiny has brought you to a certain point and for the moment you will savour this year's personal achievements. 

CANCER:  (June 22 to July 23)
You may finally come to terms with a situation or relationship that has been a constant source of stress.  As the year closes, you must work on restoring self-confidence and re-establishing lost faith in a loved one. 

LEO:  (July 24 to August 23)
A more mature life phase sees the focus shift from personal needs to care of others.  Some of you may make a difficult or life-changing decision soon, while others volunteer time to a worthy cause. 

VIRGO:  (August 24 to September 23)
Provided your approach is even-handed you will earn the respect of those around you.  Take sides or play favourites and there could be an emotional backlash later.  The shifting planetary patterns make you more philosophical about life. 

LIBRA:  (September 24 to October 23)
A long-held secret or ulterior motive may finally be revealed. Whether you have been trying to fool yourself or someone has deceived you, a confession from the heart will help pave the way for a fresh start. 

SCORPIO:  (October 24 to November 22)
Someone who has been the focus of your attention may finally justify the faith you have shown in him or her.  Moon moving into your partnership zone foreshadows subtle changes in a special romantic or business relationship. 

SAGITTARIUS:  (November 23 to December 22)
For the time being you will put family first and sacrifice your own needs.  However, your sign is on the verge of change and before long practical matters will take precedence over affairs of the heart. 

CAPRICORN:  (December 23 to January 20)
The pendulum will swing your way soon and after months of struggle or sacrifice, rewards should begin to filter in.  You may find yourself caught up in the excitement generated by a family or social group. 

AQUARIUS:  (January 21 to February 19)
Despite your attempts to remain neutral, you may be required to make a decision on behalf of others or take sides in a disagreement.  No matter how hard you try, you cannot please everyone this week. 

PISCES:  (February 20 to March 20)
A newfound sense of belonging or break with tradition helps fill an emotional void.  In the weeks ahead you will put the past behind you and different layers will be added to your already complex personality. 

YOUR DAY
Some of the fiery energy fizzles out and common sense takes over. There may be some last-minute attempts to put forward a passionate plea or argument, but most people will be measured in their responses and fixed in outlook.  This is a good time to repay debts or favours and get back into the good books with those you have wronged in the past. 

YOUR BIRTHDAY
A desire to break from constraints sees you experimenting with different ventures, new ideas, or varied routines.  Opportunities are likely to come through social or business networks and teamwork will bring excellent results.  In order to stay in good physical and mental shape, you should avoid over-indulgence and going to extremes.
