ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
Feelings of excitement about an upcoming event may be tainted by fear of the unknown. But no matter how many times you try to second-guess an outcome, the reality of a situation could be totally different.

TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
Venus making its move into your sign highlights your romantic and creative streaks. Recent problems with communication or blocked energies are likelyto melt away, leaving you feeling liberated, loved and so much more productive.

GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
Discussion about an issue may seem important to you, but might well be considered trivial by others. There is a strong chance you will come up against someone who outwits you or is more charming and better informed.

CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
A tendency to brood could be detrimental to relationships and productivity levels. Others may keep their thoughts and feelings hidden rather than risk upsetting you, and challenges could easily become exaggerated in your own mind.

LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
July Leos who have been toughing it out in a situation will soon see results for their efforts. A sense of achievement after months of worry, work and what-ifs is likely to be matched by tangible rewards.

VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
Despite a tendency to take the words and actions of others personally, you will stop short of self-pity. An irresistible urge to prove the critics wrong could see you working harder, smarter and longer this week.

LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
Ruling Venus enters your house of renewal, providing the perfect opportunity to eliminate the dead wood from your life and start afresh. You may have to be ruthless or furtive in your actions, but self-preservation is critical.

SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
Others may find you difficult to resist and will be more inclined to go along with your suggestions. Venus and Moon combine to bring about a turning point in partnerships that have either been floundering or one-sided.

SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22) It may be necessary to put the brakes on a situation and think carefully before you speak. Heightened sensitivity in the stars could cause you to miss subtle nuances or accidentally put your foot in your mouth.

CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
Fun and adventure may have been lacking in your life, but all that could change in an instant. You are coming to a stage where risk-taking and pleasure will take priority over the daily grind.

AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
A long-awaited moment may arrive, but be prepared for the fact reality might not live up to expectation. Remain calm and simply enjoy events as they unfold rather than wishing only for the end result.

PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
You are an astute judge of character and will spot the fakes simply by trusting your sixth sense. It may be difficult to explain your reasoning to others, but you will be loath to change your mind.

YOUR DAY
Seeing situations subjectively may be par for the course today. However, inward-looking decisions are unlikely to be in anyone's best interests and consultation with others will help put problems in better perspective. Those seeking sympathy may not have to look further than their own little patch of turf.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
If you have been waiting patiently for a situation to improve, you may soon reach the conclusion that nothing is going to change. Reflect on all options before making a final decision whether to persevere or cut your losses. The year ahead will bring personal enlightenment.
