ARIES:  (March 21 to April 20)
Your routine may be interrupted, making you feel out of sorts or unproductive.  Outside influences will play a major part in the confusion, but as frustrating as people and circumstances are, you will have little control.

TAURUS:  (April 21 to May 21)
You may have to sacrifice an ideal or some of your leisure time, but your generosity will not go unnoticed.  Your ability to get straight to the heart of matters makes you a popular mentor and helper.

GEMINI:  (May 22 to June 21)
An aspect of your life is about to change and while it may take time to adjust, in hindsight you will see the benefits.  Engage others in your plans and share burdens or delegate a few duties.

CANCER:  (June 22 to July 23)
Despite the chemistry you share with someone, points of difference will still arise.  You may be tempted to fall into line, but a strong sense of principle or independence could see you taking a stand today.

LEO:  (July 24 to August 23)
While at times you march to the beat of a different drum, your ideas and methods are often fresh and creative.  People who have a narrow view of life should be avoided while the energy is contrary.

VIRGO:  (August 24 to September 23)
Your strong work ethic stands you in good stead and guarantees efficient output.  Others may rely on your to pick up the slack today, but you will happily oblige for the good of a common cause.

LIBRA:  (September 24 to October 23)
Someone who is a breath of fresh air may rekindle your lust for life or challenge you mentally.  Momentum is building in the area of relationships and there could be cause for a family celebration soon.

SCORPIO:  (October 24 to November 22)
With the spotlight falling on relationships and social activity, the mood will be warm and welcoming.  If you feel strongly about a person or situation, show your support or cement your place in the pecking order.

SAGITTARIUS:  (November 23 to December 22)
Factor in a contingency plan today, as things may not always go your way.  Your deft handling of people is likely to remain intact, but chances are outside forces will conspire against you.  Forewarned is forearmed.

CAPRICORN:  (December 23 to January 20)
Moon in the realm of expansion converts you into a positive thinker who is prepared to take adventurous risks.  You are also likely to let your hair down in social situations and may surprise others with your antics.

AQUARIUS:  (January 21 to February 19)
Your heart and head may be in conflict, but in the end you will take the path of least resistance.  Avoid putting pressure on yourself and leave those non-urgent decisions until the timing is better.

PISCES:  (February 20 to March 20)
Someone who has kept you intrigued or on a leash may suddenly reveal his or her hand.  And with relationships on the receiving end of positive energy, chances are you will like what you see and hear.

YOUR DAY
With Moon in cool and reliable Virgo, logical thinking will bring the best possible outcomes.  People may be more critical and fussy, but disapproval can be kept to a minimum by setting higher goals and standards.  Work on the premise that if a job is worth doing, it is worth doing well.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
As you approach the end of an era, you may find it difficult to let go or grow up.  However, you know intuitively that this is the perfect time to upgrade your status, develop relationships and invest wisely in your own future.  Just be sure to plan before taking action.
