ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
Despite your recent lack of success with a person or pet project, you may be given an unexpected second chance. Your persistence in the face of seemingly overwhelming odds is one of your greatest strengths.

TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
You can afford to take risks, provided you work within your own budget and limitations. Combine good advice, clever timing and common sense, and Venus will add the element of luck you need to ultimately succeed.

GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
The planets put you in a determined mood as you emerge from a difficult life cycle. Just when you think the odds are stacked against you, help will come from unexpected sources and luck will be on your side.

CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
A well-intentioned person may annoy you, but his or help could prove invaluable in the long term. Try to be tolerant and forgiving towards someone who is clearly not your type, but bears no ill will.

LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
Petty quarrels, routine chores and boring people all make you feel world-weary. And with your usual sense of optimism missing, it seems there is no light at the end of the tunnel. Fortunately, a turnaround is imminent.

VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
It may be wise to edit thoughts and feelings rather than simply blurting them out. Pass on information to others on a need to know basis, keep secrets to yourself and try to remain cool in crisis situations.

LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
If someone pushes your buttons, try to detach yourself. Similarly, if you spot a weakness in a colleague, friend or relative, avoid using it to your own advantage. A little give and take will go a long way.

SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
Diplomacy is the key to handling relationship problems, especially when you are dealing with those who have fragile egos. Take the spotlight off yourself, think rationally and try to put the needs of others before your own.

SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
Rather than going straight to the heart of a matter, you will be inclined to take the longest way around. This may satisfy your curiosity and bring good results, but it will also put you behind schedule.

CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
Your enterprise and enthusiasm will ensure success in one area of life, but could leave you counting the cost elsewhere. Set up situations so that you can divide your time or delegate duties to a trusted associate.

AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
You may be seduced by material comfort, but should bear in mind that too much of a good thing could be your undoing. Your health, budget, relationships and daily routine may suffer if you go to extremes.

PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
Brash behaviour may mask hidden insecurities, but it will also bring you to the attention of someone who has power or influence. In turn, a lucky break or unexpected helping hand could be your ticket to success.

YOUR DAY
A tendency to absorb the problems and negativity of others could be the downfall of sensitive typestoday. The keys to harmony, good results and inner health are working independently and practising emotional detachment. There is an indefinable quality to the stars and it may be more difficult than usual to assess situations and understand what makes people tick.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
Itchy feet and a desire to make more of yourself will be your driving force for the next few months. There may be a feeling you have missed the boat in one area or that you could do better in another. Enlist the support of someone who shares your ideals.
