ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
Rather than retaliating when others are offensive or critical, you will be more inclined to withdraw into your shell. Someone who has your best interests at heart may act as a buffer between you and an adversary.

TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
Optimism levels are high and while you may avoid enterprises with a high risk factor, you will be more inclined to venture into the unknown. Someone special may show his or her loyalty by supporting your plans.

GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
Your ability to relate to people from all walks of life gives you a distinct edge in professional and social situations. You will know instinctively today when to speak out and when to hold your tongue.

CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
If you are currently stuck in a rut or need an outlet for your energy, motivate yourself to implement changes. Rather than wishing and hoping for what you want or need, the secret is to be proactive.

LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
Planning is important for you sign during this busy period. Set yourself some short-term goals, fine-tune your ideas or methods and delegate a few of the more mundane tasks. The pace of life is about to accelerate.

VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
While there is little doubt your motives are pure and intentions good, there is a danger you may try to control others. With the potential for ruthless behaviour evident in your chart, you should hold yourself in check.

LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
Relationships remain in the spotlight and that thorny problem you have been working on with a loved one should be revisited. There may be a tendency for you to overreact today and dramatise trivial issues.

SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
Being self-confident is praiseworthy, but the secret is to stop short of displaying outright arrogance. Keep your temper and ego in check, and look at life, love and relationships from a more realistic viewpoint.

SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
Your simplicity may be mistaken for naivety or your honesty will be exploited. Be on guard against those who have a hidden agenda, are trying to feather their own nests, or are on an entirely different wavelength.

CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
Someone who seems worlds apart in temperament or principle may suddenly start seeing things your way. In return you must be willing to meet people half way and show that you are working for the common good.

AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
An issue that has been causing concern may suddenly seem unimportant and waste of emotional energy. The planets help you to see situations in a more positive light, especially where love, money and work issues are concerned.

PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
Affairs of the heart are likely to take precedence, but you must be careful not to let bias, past experience or emotion influence the decisions you make. Take a step back and analyse each set of circumstances carefully.

YOUR DAY
There may be some quirky ideas, eccentric people or unusual situations to deal with today. To make the most of this unpredictable energy, take a few daring risks, adopt alternative methods and accept that not everyone thinks like you. It appears inevitable that there will be delays, cancellations, misunderstandings or unrealistic expectations, both at home and in the work place.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
Saturn could cause restrictions, anguish or sacrifice, but it will also make you stronger. Focus on family issues before mid-year and try bringing resolution to an ongoing problem. Meanwhile, a partner, friend or lover who is larger than life adds joy to your existence and acts as a guardian angel.
