ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
Go directly to the heart of problems and tell the truth as you see it. Time is of the essence this week and those who take the roundabout route will miss deadlines, opportunities and a chance to excel.

TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
Domestic issues top the agenda and must take priority over external problems. And while there may be cause for frustration in family matters, a strong sense of duty will motivate you to find solutions that suit everyone.

GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
One of your concepts may hold great promise, but success depends entirely on whether or not you can convert an idea into reality. Use the productive planetary energy to fine-tune details and enlist support from others.

CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
A problem that has caused a rift between you and your loved ones can now be resolved. And while the key to compromise is open and honest discussion, everyone concerned must be willing to give and take.

LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
You will either lose sleep over a personal issue or waste time worrying about someone else's plight. Moon in your sign is the culprit and can be blamed for seesawing emotions and feelings of regret or resentment.

VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
In a departure from your usual modus operandi, you will be inclined to talk yourself up and trust fate. Fortunately for you the planets provide a boost of self-confidence, unexpected good fortune and strong sense of direction.

LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
Your life may be fragmented at present, making it difficult to find your true self or sense of purpose. Do not allow pride stop you from seeking professional advice or turning to someone you love for support.

SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
The image you project or impact you make on first meeting will influence the way others judge you. If you come across as confident you will quickly win approval, but falter and you could spoil your chances.

SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
You may feel the rumblings of discontent, but will be reluctant to make changes at home or change the status quo at work. Perhaps you could try varying your routine in some way or expanding your circle.

CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
Others may deem you unreasonable or out of touch, but your aloofness is a form of self-protection. Some of you are reluctant to compromise or become too involved, while others may simply be afraid of change.

AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
With Moon in your partnership section, this is an excellent time to mend fences with a business or romantic partner, or an estranged friend. Make sure you are fully committed when renewing vows or making long-term promises.

PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
There may be a minor but effective change you can make that will streamline your daily routine or ease emotional burdens. The secret is to be flexible and prepared to experiment with different ideas or methods.

YOUR DAY
This is a day of secrets, self-importance and smugness. Hence, it will pay to show plenty of discretion about the company you keep and feelings you reveal. Those trying to resolve complex issues or put the pieces of a puzzle together may find things slot into place nicely and reveal surprising results.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
Generous Jupiter helps you financially, emotionally and physically. There could be an unexpected bonus, a new relationship, or you will take a leap of faith and commit to a major undertaking. Over-indulgence or impulsiveness is the negative side of this planet's influence, so watch your step.
