ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
Think twice today before imposing your ideas or ideals on others. The mood is subjective and it may be almost impossible to achieve unity or a majority vote. Be tolerant and allow for diversity of opinion.

TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
Your manner may be more direct than usual and you will feel quite comfortable speaking directly from the heart. You can create happy memories and enjoy greater intimacy by sharing your secrets, burdens, hopes and dreams.

GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
You may not be prepared to wait in the wings for the right opportunity to arise, preferring instead to create your own luck. Your can-do attitude ensures that success will come easier to your sign than many others.

CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
Moon in your sign may make you a target for trouble or heighten vulnerability. Avoid placing yourself in tricky situations, stick with the tried and true, and sidestep negative people. The power is in your own hands.

LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
With the lunar energy in your privacy zone, the message is you must seek time alone. You could be inclined to wallow in self-pity or may feel others are against you, but this is fantasy not fact.

VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
The Moon impacts on your personal life and pushes you to turn dreams into practical reality. Something or someone that has been the object of your desire could come within fingertip reach in the days ahead.

LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
The energy is quite dreamy and while this may stir your creative juices, it could also lower productivity levels. Focus on sideline activities and artistic assignments, and put off mundane matters until later in the week.

SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
Even well thought out strategies could backfire and you must remain flexible or factor in a contingency plan. Fortunately, Sun and Moon at a compatible angle ensure you land on your feet and retain a competitive edge.

SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
Yours is usually an open and generous sign, but alien emotions such as resentment or jealousy may wash over you. Bear in mind that if you are possessive or overly protective, someone or something could slip from reach.

CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
Although many of your encounters week may be sociable, it would be a good idea to use personal contacts in a business sense. The network and grapevine will work for your sign and unexpected opportunities could arise.

AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
You may be more prickly than usual and will take throwaway remarks or subtle digs to heart. Stop reading between the lines and second guessing other people's motives, as you will only hurt or hinder yourself.

PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
The lunar energy brings out the best in you and whether you are drawn into a dramatic situation or set a difficult target, you will relish the challenge. Your flair for theatrics also works in your favour.

YOUR DAY
In order to create trust, promises must be kept and emotions expressed. The more secretive people are in the current climate, the greater rifts are likely to occur in relationships. There may be feelings of paranoia today or people will take exception to casual comments or well-intended criticism. Add an artistic or personal touch to everyday tasks.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
If you are a little tired of a relationship, your appearance, the work you do or where you live, spend time in the months ahead contemplating change. The timing may not be right to implement ideas, but you can start formulating plans. Revisit your roots or call on past experience.
