ARIES:  (March 21 to April 20)  Discussions may go around in circles and your patience will be stretched thin.  Rather than arguing for the sake of it, let others have the last word and turn your attention to situations you can resolve. 

TAURUS:  (April 21 to May 21) 
The bigger the challenge,
the more determined you are to succeed.  You will be at your tenacious best and no amount of negative chatter from others can prevent you from embarking upon a particular course of action. 

GEMINI:  (May 22 to June 21) 
Someone may inadvertently put you under pressure or compel you to take sides.  Fortunately, Mars snaps you into action and you will either run in the opposite direction or refuse to be drawn into sensitive situations. 

CANCER:  (June 22 to July 23)
The odds for success are slightly in your favour, but you may have to exert yourself physically or mentally to accomplish a goal.  Others might offer advice or assistance, but only you can tie up loose ends. 

LEO:  (July 24 to August 23) 
Vague feelings are no substitute for fact and unless you have proof to back up suspicions, keep them to yourself.  Chances are your hunches will be right, but it could be weeks before you are proven correct. 

VIRGO:  (August 24 to September 23) 
You may be keen to delve into an issue, but will be reluctant to make any further commitments.  Put an idea on hold until the timing is better or you have evidence the subject matter is suitable. 

LIBRA:  (September 24 to October 23) 
On the plus side you will have no fears about asking pointed or personal questions.  But on the minus side, you may take offence if others probe into your private thoughts.  These double standards could raise eyebrows. 

SCORPIO:  (October 24 to November 22) 
A person of interest may arouse your curiosity, but whether or not you follow through depends entirely on your personal circumstances.  Conflict of interests, various commitments or a guilty conscience could preclude any further involvement. 

SAGITTARIUS:  (November 23 to December 22) 
Inner tension is likely to build and you may have difficulty articulating your thoughts or feelings.  However, someone with a sympathetic ear could come to the rescue and help you solve problems in practical ways. 

CAPRICORN:  (December 23 to January 20) 
There may be a last-minute change to plans when an invitation is withdrawn or an agreement falls through.  However, other opportunities will soon open up that ultimately prove more financially rewarding or bring greater pleasure. 

AQUARIUS:  (January 21 to February 19) 
The temptation may be to give up on something or someone, but dynamic Mars and loving Venus urge you to persist.  If you have been marking time or feeling constrained, a shift in circumstances helps liberate you. 

PISCES:  (February 20 to March 20) 
Look on delays as opportunities to perfect your technique and make further enquiries.  One of the biggest tests this month for Pisceans is mastering the art of patience with a view to long rather than short-term gratification. 

YOUR DAY 
Moon in Cancer is the embodiment of nurturing.  However, a tendency to go over the top could make people over-anxious or possessive with loved ones.  The challenge today is to be objective rather than inward looking, particularly where complex issues are involved.  Sun in Aries pledges reserves of physical energy.

YOUR BIRTHDAY 
Strong-willed people may be held up as an example for you to follow.  You will not suffer fools gladly and without realising it may gradually leave behind friends and associates who cannot keep up.  The energy is also consistent with wealth building and practical projects.
