ARIES:  (March 21 to April 20)
Your pride or ego may suffer a blow, but you will bounce back quickly.  Avoid taking yourself or others too seriously and stick with tasks that test you mentally rather than those you find physically draining.

TAURUS:  (April 21 to May 21)
You may wish to have a greater say in an issue, but will first have to prove your knowledge or worth.  Be warned others may be so self-absorbed it will be difficult to get their attention,

GEMINI:  (May 22 to June 21)
A sceptic who once doubted your ability may suddenly see you in a whole new light.  The results you achieve or attributes you show will be impressive and could catch the eye of people in your environment.

CANCER:  (June 22 to July 23)
You could be inclined to drift along without any real sense of purpose and then flounder around in a sea of guilt.  Cut yourself and others some slack, bearing in mind that no one will be keeping scores.

LEO:  (July 24 to August 23)
With a short attention span and an aversion to foolish people, it may be best to work and socialise in short bouts.  Add variety to your routine and mingle only with clever, amusing or like-minded associates.

VIRGO:  (August 24 to September 23)
You may have to settle for less than perfect results, especially if you are relying on input from others.  Rather than arguing over minor points of contention, look for the middle ground and listen to alternative opinions.

LIBRA:  (September 24 to October 23)
Like your fellow air signs, you will thrive on variety and the exchange of ideas.  It may not always be easy to find compatible people to interact with, but one or two chosen friends should suffice.

SCORPIO:  (October 24 to November 22)
There are no guarantees, but the risk level is low for your sign.  You have the ability to turn situation around and will know instinctively when to follow through on ventures and when to back off.

SAGITTARIUS:  (November 23 to December 22)
You will gravitate towards people who show their feminine side.  And whether you are in need of nurturing or wish to offer emotional support to someone, interaction today will be both fulfilling and mutually beneficial.

CAPRICORN:  (December 23 to January 20)
There may be a marked difference between you and your peers or loved ones.  Driven by a desire to progress and succeed, you will adopt a hands-on approach.  Conversely, those around you may be difficult to motivate.

AQUARIUS:  (January 21 to February 19)
There may be some good fiscal news or contact from a positive person who helps lift your spirits.  Events that are out of the ordinary make you realise that you have recently fallen into a rut.

PISCES:  (February 20 to March 20)
Rather than looking outwardly for answers or happiness, listen to your inner voice and count your blessings.  Solutions to problems may lie closer to home than you realise, especially if you take past experience into account.

YOUR DAY
Good communication is the key to happiness, but the planets caution against revealing too many secrets.  Be prudent and convey information on a needs-to-know basis only, especially in unfamiliar company.  Socially and emotionally, the energy favours group get-togethers and platonic relationships over one-on-one contact.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
Show your willingness to give and take, hear what others have to say and share feelings with loved ones.  The more you co-operate and compromise, the happier your year will be.  Rewards may not always be tangible, but there will be a sense of satisfaction in relationships or your chosen career.
