ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
You may feel a surge of sympathy for someone and will be eager to lend a helping hand. However, despite your well-meaning efforts, certain people will resent your meddling and take exception to your unsolicited advice.

TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
While you may be eager to finish a project or put an issue behind you, there are no easy solutions or quick fixes. Instead you must draw on inner strength and patience, and allow events to unfold.

GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
Good fortune could flow through a business or social contact and a chance encounters may prove to be the catalyst for change. Keep all your options open today and watch for subtle signs along the way.

CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
Your self-confidence looks set for a boost, with compliments or praise coming from someone you have always admired. You will feel happier in the days ahead as a situation swings your way and people rally round.

LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
Motionless Mercury and stern Saturn are likely to constrict your movements, hold up plans or cause frustrations. Try to accept things as they are rather than wishing you could revert to the past or tiptoe around the present.

VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
You may be tempted to burn your bridges, but should bear in mind that someone or something from the present could be useful in the future. You can exploit your opportunities without appearing to be devious.

LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
The desire to bring harmony into your life and relationships could use up much of your energy. Just remember that in trying to please everyone, you will probably emerge the big loser. Honesty is your best policy.

SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
You may have some bright ideas, but will find it difficult to channel energy in one direction. Work to a strict agenda and use personal charm to enlist the help of people who have the resources you lack.

SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
Recent trials and tribulations can be put behind you, thanks to support from someone you have come to love and respect. Your personal life is on an upward trend and you will soon make solid progress.

CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
Ruling Saturn lightens your load and opens up the lines of communication between you and your loved ones. If you have long desired a change of pace, routine, or scenery, your wish could soon come true.

AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
Left to your own devices you will probably make steady progress. However, if others meddle or make demands on your time there is a risk you will fall behind schedule. Try to blend into the background today.

PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
In a prudent mood, you will look for ways to trim the budget or cut emotional corners. On the downside, obsessive tendencies could see you focussing on issues that are neither your concern nor area of expertise.

YOUR DAY
Many will be on a mission and while enthusiasm levels are likely to be high, it is important not to scatter energies. Concentrate on one task at a time and tie up all loose ends before turning your attention to the next assignment. Relationships may be more lusty than usual, though there will be a fine line between love and hate.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
Part of you longs to be elsewhere, but the dedicated side of your Leo personality wants to fulfil obligations and adhere to principle. A confronting or unpleasant task should be tackled head-on and you can take heart in the fact long-term outcomes will work in your favour.
