ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
A strong urge to deal with others truthfully could cause you to offend or shock certain people. You will also be more inclined to practice tough love than give in to the whims and desires of relatives.

TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
Those who refuse to treat you as an equal will feel the full force of our wrath. You will either freeze out your opponents this week, or take your love or businesses elsewhere, and never look back.

GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
In terms of lifestyle, you can expect a little more comfort, an easier passage, or help from a surprising source. This may be a tricky time for many Gemini natives, but you will bounce back quickly from adversity.

CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
Those who have been making a genuine effort to resolve a contentious issue will be rewarded by feelings of satisfaction. Meantime, someone you thought you knew intimately may prove a surprise package in the days ahead.

LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
Start as you mean to continue in a relationship, business venture or regimen and you will set the scene for an exciting month-long phase of life. You may team up with someone who has a positive influence.

VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
After a round of frenzied activity, you should take time out to reassess your relationships or routine. There is plenty of scope for improvement and the new lunar phase favours a fresh start or extra effort.

LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
You will happily put one situation behind you and devote time and energy to something new. Your greatest gifts continue to be your versatile mind and the ability to adapt to ever-changing life circumstances.

SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
With a new Moon looming in your domestic zone, the emphasis shifts from fun to family responsibility. There may be one or two contentious issues to deal with, but generally life's burdens will gradually ease.

SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
Moon in Aquarius is a good omen for friendship, family unity, travel plans, and communication. There may be a change of direction for some Archers, while others will thrive on new mental or physical challenges.

CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
The fresh lunar cycle begins in your zone of money and material comfort. You may decide on a large or luxury purchase, or will devote time to making life easier. Mars in your sign boosts energy levels.

AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
You may feel your performance is under scrutiny or you will be conscious of the effect you have on others. Your annual new Moon prompts you to reassess personal circumstances with a view to positive change.

PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
There may be pressure, friction or naive expectations placed on a relationship, but the impending new Moon encourages you to take a reality check. Ideas or solutions can literally be plucked out of the air today.

YOUR DAY
As the current lunar phase comes to a close, loose ends might be tied up, or the pieces of puzzle will fall into place. Many people are likely to contemplate a fresh start in at least one area of life and bad habits can be more easily shed. Friendships, group projects, or worn-out methods could come under review during this cycle of reassessment.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
You will either be a tower of strength to those around you, or an immovable object they cannot get past. Try to balance dependability with flexibility and accept that sometimes your word may not be law. This is an excellent year for business, security, improving your health and cementing career options.
