ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
Problems must be resolved rationally rather than emotionally. Put past prejudice aside and consider each issue on its merits rather than allowing bias or other people's opinion to sway you. Self-motivation is your best quality today.

TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
Before a situation or relationship can return to normal, you must be brutally with yourself and others. Once you air your differences, you will feel empowered and can make the necessary adjustments. Lead by example this week.

GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
Forever young at heart, your approach to life will help lift the spirits of those around you. However, you must draw the line at turning every conversation into a joke or making light of other people's feelings.

CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
A situation may require patience and you must allow for the flaws in loved ones. Rather than pushing for things to go your way, you must be prepared to make sacrifices and work out compromise solutions.

LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
As much as the past appeals to your nostalgic side, you must be realistic enough to move on. Set yourself some new and achievable goals or make plans for a mini-break. Change will be a tonic for you.

VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
Circumstances may change suddenly, leaving you feeling confused or uncomfortable. Try to be more flexible. Fate has other ideas for your sign and you must have faith that outcomes will work in your favour.

LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
The planets provide the oomph that has been missing from your job, social or family life. Some of you may return to your roots and rekindle a relationship, while others move on to new areas of interest.

SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
Opposition to an idea or proposal may leave you feeling frustrated, but perhaps you could resubmit it in a different form. Go back to the drawing board and fine-tune plans with a view to pleasing everyone.

SAGITTARIUS (November 23 to December 22)
Mecury gifts you with verbal skills, while Venus adds the charm needed to win others over.

CAPRICORN (December 23 to January 20)
You will have strong intuitive grasp of how to deal with people and situations.

AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
Lunar energy may drain you or will leave you feeling emotionally vulnerable. Try to avoid people who play on your weaknesses or those who exert influence for all the wrong reasons. Be very discerning this week.

PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
Moon in your intuitive sector gives you the edge today. While others ponder questions, you will pluck answers out of the air. You may also come up with innovative ideas that will be adopted by friends and colleagues.

YOUR DAY
The lunar energy is erratic, making it almost impossible to plan or stick to timetables. People could be difficult to pin down, unreliable or will make radical suggestions. As a result, those who are prepared to think outside the square and try new techniques will sail through today while traditional types are left to flounder.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
There is no time like the present, so if you have been considering a new venture or want to make subtle changes, put the wheels in motion now. The level of co-operation and support you receive might surprise you, or you will breeze through a challenge.
