KEY POINTS:
ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
A mini-break may be the tonic needed to sustain you during December. This is shaping up to be a busy time and your current tendency to worry is an energy drainer. Avoid fretting over every incident.
TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
If freedom is curtailed be philosophical and bide your time. Duty and responsibility come first today, but burdens will gradually ease in the weeks ahead. Put off those big decisions until there is a gap in your calendar.
GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
With Venus entering your house of secrets, there is a reluctance to be open in relationships. Be mindful that there is a fine line between maintaining your privacy and shutting loved ones out. Find the middle ground.
CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
Unexpected circumstances stir you into action and your gift for words inspires others to join you. Make sure your goals will ultimately serve a useful purpose and divide your time between the practical and idealistic.
LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
Add extra duties to your list each day, so that a backlog does not occur. Leaving things to the last minute could be detrimental to your emotional, mental and physical health. Put plans in place now.
VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
The more you bait others, the faster resentment will build. Back off and channel playful energy into time spent with children or through creative outlets. Good news comes your way soon and could be cause for celebration.
LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
A competitor gives you a run for your money this week. And although your sign usually prefers to play fair, you might be tempted to use dirty tactics. Just be prepared for your actions to backfire.
SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
Allow yourself time to contemplate a proposed new venture. Weigh up your options and seek professional advice where you lack the expertise or resources. You will enter a new life chapter soon and need to be primed.
SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
You may appear confident and in control, but below the surface doubts linger. Rather than taking criticism and mistakes personally, learn from then and vow to do better next time around. Anxiety will soon pass.
CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
Take off the blinkers and look at life from a broader perspective. You may be missing the subtle signals someone is sending out or are so set in your ways you fail to see alternative possibilities.
AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
You would rather humour people than openly object to their demands. However, at some stage down the track you will no doubt make your feelings known. Right now you are content to quietly bide your time.
PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
Moon and Mercury keep you on the ball. And because you can achieve objectives in half the time of others, you will extend the hand of friendship and assistance. Efficiency is definitely your trademark today.
YOUR DAY
Subtle yet significant changes are occurring this week. Dealings may be more business-like than usual and a ruthless streak could see people making harsh decisions. After a playful start to the month, the energy is steadily turning more serious and there is greater emphasis on practicalities.
YOUR BIRTHDAY
A romantic yet unworkable idea spins around in your head. And rather than discount it altogether, you will talk it over with loved ones and hope for their encouragement. Remember that you have Jupiter onside and its influence could get you over the line.
