ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
If you expect too much from others, you are destined to feel disappointed. With a new Moon approaching in the most sensitive part of your horoscope, some of your ideas and expectations may be deemed unrealistic.

TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
A minor but well-deserved win or achievement could soon be cause for celebration. As you put the finishing touches to a task, a pat on the back, reward, or recognition will make your efforts worthwhile.

GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
The simple things in life will offer the greatest rewards and with energy levels at a low level, you are less likely to seek self-gratification. Expect to feel let down, restless, or ill at ease with yourself today.

CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
Not only is your timing likely to be impeccable, but you will also possess amazing foresight. Use these gifts wisely when planning a financial, business or personal undertaking. Focus all your efforts on a new venture.

LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
Your attitude may seem offhand to some, but in essence you are anxious to tie up loose ends and move on. The impending new Moon may add complexity to practical or emotional issues and will deplete your energy.

VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
In upcoming days there may be a surprise invitation, lucky break, or chance meeting that leads to promotion or peps up your social life. In hindsight you may see an encounter as a turning point in life.

LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
Anything worth having or being involved in will take time and effort to build up. Apply yourself one hundred percent to a task and never lose sight of your chosen goal despite temptations along the way.

SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
One of your fears may prove unfounded or an emotional burden will be lifted from your shoulders. This week's renewed lunar energy acts as a soothing balm and eases niggling personal problems that have recently plagued you.

SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
To avoid being manipulated or exploited, be discerning about the people you mix with. Rather than believing everything you see and hear, scratch the surface and explore the real motives behind the pictures others paint for you.

CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
You may be intrigued by a particular person or situation and will want to know more. As luck would have it, tomorrow's new Moon provides the perfect opportunity to strike up a new platonic or business partnership.

AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
Can you honestly say you have done everything possible to extricate yourself from a situation? If the answer is no, an intuitive Moon change encourages you to listen to your heart and act without further hesitation.

PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
Your annual new Moon is approaching and this is your best time all year to make that dramatic move or controversial decision. You must start as you mean to continue in a relationship, job, or business venture.

YOUR DAY
With the dark side of the Moon depleting energy levels and making it difficult to see ahead, today is a time for tying up loose ends, gathering thoughts, and signing off on long-winded projects. Tomorrow augurs well for putting self-deception or complex issues aside and making a fresh start with renewed determination. Meanwhile, it would be wise to avoid emotionally charged or no-win situations.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
Don't let lack of experience or fear of failure stop you from venturing into unknown territory. You are entering a period of independence and decisions made this year will help establish you financially or emotionally. If you must seek advice, go to an expert rather than a relative or friend.
