KEY POINTS:
ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
Let go of tension and articulate your thoughts carefully. You could be like a loose cannon today and one small trigger is likely to set you off. Burn off pent-up energies in physical rather than emotional ways.
TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
A last-minute change to plans could be a blessing in disguise. Believe that destiny is playing a part in the way events unfold and have enough self-faith to go with the flow. You will not be sorry.
GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
If you are tempted to give up, tap into your inner reserves. There is a shift in circumstances looming and decisions made in haste now could be cause for regret later. Resolve to do your best today.
CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
Look on delays as opportunities to fine-tune details. One of the biggest tests right now is learning how to master the art of patience with a view to long rather than short-term gratification. You can do it.
LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
Discussions might go around in circles but eventually a consensus is reached. Keep in mind not that everyone thinks like you and learn to embrace the differences in people rather than constantly trying to convert them.
VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
The bigger the challenge, the more likely you are to succeed. You are currently at your tenacious best and no amount of negative input from others can prevent you from embarking upon a particular course of action.
LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
If someone places you under pressure, tap into the might of Mars. This action planet emboldens you and rather than running in the opposite direction, your first instinct is to respond bravely to the challenges others throw out.
SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
The odds for success are slightly in your favour but you may have to exert yourself to reach the finishing line. Physically and mentally you have a distinct edge. However, others will give you a good contest.
SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
Vague impressions are no substitute for fact. Until you have proof to back up doubts and decisions, keep quiet. Your hunches could well be spot on but it might be a while before you are proven correct.
CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
If an issue captures your imagination, delve into it further. Constantly watching and wondering from the sidelines will get you nowhere, and with several planets complementing Capricorn you are risk-averse at this time.
AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
On the plus side you have no qualms about asking pointed questions. But on the other side of the ledger, you take offence if others probe your private thoughts. These double standards could rightly raise eyebrows today.
PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
Someone arouses your curiosity but whether or not you engage with this person depends almost entirely on your mood. You might not be in a sociable frame of mind and apathy prevents you from getting involved with others.
YOUR DAY
Today is defined by a tendency to drift in and out. Some people might need to be prompted to pay attention, while others manage to grasp an outline of the plot. Fortunately there are reserves of physical energy courtesy of Sun in lively Aries.
YOUR BIRTHDAY
A lengthy operation is drawing to a close. However, you must remain focussed and push yourself to go the extra distance. It could be eighteen month before you see results but ultimately you will be both fiscally and professionally better off.
