KEY POINTS:
ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
Your yearly new Moon changes the emotional landscape. Others cease taking you for granted and start appreciating the work you do behind the scenes. As a result, your confidence and popularity levels begin to rise.
TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
Routinely others decide on your behalf but now a fresh and fiery lunar cycle motivates you to take a more assertive stance. Once you fix on a goal nothing can stop you from following it through.
GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
If you feel jaded or sluggish, the new Moon revives interest and recharges your batteries. Not only can you turn negatives into positives, but the opportunity also exists to get a de-railed relationship back on track.
CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
The new Moon encourages you to blow your own trumpet. Self-promotion is the key to success, even if it means offending others in the process. If you look after number one there will be a positive domino effect.
LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
Your eloquent side is emphasised but there is also a sense of adventure evident today. And because of your positive frame of mind, others gravitate towards you in the hope some of your happiness rubs off.
VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
A tendency to say what others need to hear is a form of self-protection. You prefer not to rock the boat and consequently keep thoughts to yourself. Paradoxically, you take exception to people who harbour secrets.
LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
Mercury brightens your life by delivering good news and keeping your calendar full. And because interaction with others is more positive, your confidence receives a timely lift. Bounce around ideas with like-minded people.
SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
The good news is fiery influences bring you out of your shell. But on the downside you might display a hair-trigger temper. Lighten up and react only to those people and situations relevant to your own welfare.
SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
Explore creative ideas and try to connect with peers who think progressively. Compatible energy strikes, allowing you to achieve results that up until now have eluded you. Capitalise on the existing potential by being more proactive.
CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
Not everyone understands where you are coming from but even less are prepared to try. Before pushing your own agenda, consider the needs or moods of others and wait until you feel the timing is right.
AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
Those around you might be well meaning but your tolerance levels are low. Make it known that you appreciate input from everyone but that you also enjoy your own space. Friendly Venus lets you off scot-free.
PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
Plan a campaign carefully and without impulsive moves. The energy is a little haphazard and your best bet is to take small steps towards a chosen goal rather than attempting to rush to the finishing line.
YOUR DAY
With Moon in Aries an upfront attitude prevails. Blunt statements might border on tactless but at least everyone knows where they stand. There is also a tendency during this black and white cycle to go to extremes. Also, big egos make it difficult to get attention.
YOUR BIRTHDAY
While you might be fussier about relationships, your standards in other areas are more relaxed. If an opportunity to travel, expand your interests or gain knowledge suddenly arises you are likely to seize it without question. But by August you reap rewards.
