ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
Your mood may be confident and upbeat, but your judgement is likely to be flawed. Wherever possible, leave the major decisions to someone who is more cautious and practical - preferably an earth or water sign associate.

TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
Mutual trust may be lacking in a close relationship and now is the perfect time to examine the reasons. The lunar energy helps heal emotional rifts, while the action planet Mars empowers you make tough decisions.

GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
If there are fences to mend in a close relationship, make your move sooner rather than later. The planetary energy is geared towards emotional issues and the forgiveness of past sins. Swallow your pride and accept some of the blame.

CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
Although you may be heading down a particular path, an amazing twist of fate could lead you in a positive new direction. Saturn provides clarity of thought and sensible ideas, while the Moon sharpens your sixth sense.

LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
A situation that has been brewing could come to a head in a most unexpected way. Once the air is cleared, you will happily make a fresh start in an area of your life that has been lacklustre.

VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
Moon moving through your communication zone helps you choose the right words to say. You are also likely to have more energy, enthusiasm, opportunities or insight at your disposal and will find it easier to achieve goals.

LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
You may be caught off guard or will be at a loss for words. Fortunately, fate is about to intervene and whatever happens the outcome will eventually work to your advantage. Take the good with the bad.

SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
Moon moving through your sign makes you hyper aware of other people's needs, frailties and suffering, and you will be keen to do whatever you can to ease their burdens. Stop short of turning yourself into a martyr.

SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
Moon offers an opportunity to atone for past sins or engage in a little soul searching. A problem that arose several months ago may resurface and you will be given a chance to redeem yourself or forgive someone.

CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
If you have a difficult passage to negotiate, decision to make, or special needs, dynamic Mars soon clears the path to success. Many Capricorns are about to find their niche and will experience a greater sense of satisfaction.

AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
You may find yourself the center of attention for all the wrong reasons. Left to your own devices, you would probably prefer to work quietly alone, but the planets propel you into prominence and attract trouble.

PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
Moon in your excitement zone may add zest to your love life or bring you into contact with a vibrant man who has power or influence. Meantime, your own charisma rating is likely to soar in the days ahead.

YOUR DAY
Situations that a few days ago seemed insignificant may suddenly heighten in intensity. There will be a fine line today between taking an interest in something and becoming obsessed with it. Try to take a backward step when emotion kicks in and remember that decisions made rationally will bring the best results. Tasks that require research or deep understanding can be completed with confidence.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
The elusive and gentle planet Neptune could confusion, making you yearn for something you cannot have or causing you to engage in self-deceit. Look beyond your own thoughts and feelings, and bounce ideas or solutions off others. Meantime, restless urges may see you reviewing your position or re-locating to a new setting.
