ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
Someone may reveal a secret or share a problem and you will probably be expected to sympathise with this person or solve his or her dilemma. The fact is you will have little patience with others today.

TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
Unconventional stars have an effect on behaviour and thought patterns and if you are normally conservative, you may suddenly turn rebellious. Your interaction with others will be both interesting and lively, but is likely to lead nowhere.

GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
Due to changing circumstances or a sudden twist of fate, you may find yourself on the receiving end of good news or an elevation in status. Capitalise on good luck by investing time and energy wisely.

CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
With surprising certainty, you will suddenly see a situation or person for what it really is. This knowledge can be used to make a decision about your future direction or help you let go of the past.

LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
Mercury in forward motion allows you to reaffirm plans, pick up where you left off in a relationship, or reassess personal goals. You will no longer go around in circles trying to piece a situation together.

VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
Your public persona may be more important than usual and you will want to project the best possible image. Be prepared to go that extra step this week and work harder, longer or smarter to impress others.

LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
Your sense of justice and fair play may be heightened, but you could also be guilty of setting double standards. Remember that if you engage in dubious tactics, you have no right to question the ethics of others.

SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
The planetary combination hits a jarring note for your sign and it is possible old resentments or family feuds resurface. Rather than allowing negative emotions to bubble below the surface, express your thoughts and feelings openly.

SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
In an effort to draw attention to yourself some of you may make a shock announcement, while others adopt a radical idea. The timing could not be better to break out of a rut and change your direction.

CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
Information and interaction are the focus of your day. And while you often prefer to remain independent from the crowd, you will be more inclined to network ideas, engage in gossip and socialise with diverse groups of people.

AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
Your competitive streak may be more evident than usual and will be keen to outshine others today. The planets provide the perfect opportunity to make a big impression in business, socially, or within your family circle.

PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
A piece of scurrilous gossip or a baseless rumour should be ignored. The truth could be elusive today and you would be wise to keep your own counsel, and relate to others in a superficial way.

YOUR DAY
Moon in versatile Gemini combines nicely with Sun in the go-getting sign of Aries. There may be a few impulsive or silly decisions made today, but there will also be some inspired and important ideas generated. Despite the temptation to cancel a commitment when something better comes along, fulfilling obligations and keeping promises will earn respect and loyalty from other people.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
Some people may see you as idealistic, but you will be universally respected for the stance you take over an issue this year. You are entering a fortuitous life cycle and in the second half of 2005 a celebration or good news may lift your spirits and improve family relationships.
