ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
A last minute reprieve may take the pressure off having to make an unpleasant choice. In addition, Moon in your sign provides insight and you will have the ability to smooth troubled waters without treading on anyone's toes.

TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
What originally appeared to be a trivial issue could become a major drama. Learn to ignore the theatrics of those around you and tackle problems with a view to resolving them quickly. Be the voice of reason.

GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
Avoid getting carried away by imagination or false hope and face up to the reality of your current situation. A decision made about six months ago is could come back to haunt you or teach a valuable lesson.

CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
You may lose one battle this week, but there will be victory in another area. The planets provide second chances and along the way you may learn how to tackle contentious issues without bringing emotion into the equation.

LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
Your ability to set tough tasks and succeed at them is unmatched. And now that you have a handle on a challenge you recently set yourself, rewards and respect will filter in and boost your self-esteem.

VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
Although you may feel comfortable with your current schedule or position, complacency could become your enemy. Be bold enough to shake things up rather than taking the path of least resistance or hanging in due to misplaced loyalty.

LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
If anyone can break an impasse or mediate between factions, that person is you. Hence, when a delicate situation arises you will automatically be assigned the role of referee. Combine common sense with charm and diplomacy.

SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
You may have to work harder for less reward or feedback, but self-sacrifice is the attribute that sets you apart from others. A genuine desire for successful outcomes drives you to finish tasks and aim for excellence.

SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
A situation may prove challenging, but you will dig deep and find the inner resources necessary to do well. It helps to know that you have feisty energy providing initiative and the force of Saturn strengthening your backbone.

CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
You will meet challenges head-on, even when others around you are buckling under the pressure. And with the Sun poised to enter like-minded Cancer, you will have an uncanny sixth sense when it comes to making decisions.

AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
Although you dislike being pressured by people, you may have to meet the expectations or deadlines set by someone else. Jupiter at the apex of your chart suggests the odd lucky break or perhaps an eleventh hour reprieve.

PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
With several different options to choose from, you may waver over which path to take. Go with your first impulse and remember that follow-through could be the determining factor in the success or failure of a venture.

YOUR DAY
People may be more compliant than last week and less likely to take offence. There will also be a natural tendency towards honesty in relationships and constructive criticism between colleagues. Take advantage of the resourceful energy to leap over hurdles that once seemed insurmountable and finish up difficult projects.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
Seldom stuck for a word or idea, you may lack inspiration and motivation. And while problems might be more imagined rather than real, time out from your usual routine will help put life into proper perspective. Self-examination may also help peel away some of the layers.
