ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
Someone may paint a rosy picture or exaggerate their worth, but ruling Mars makes it easier to spot the fakes and find the truth. Also, lunar energy at the peak of your chart motivates you to defend your reputation.

TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
Compatible energy encourages you to spread your wings and strive for better balance or greater honesty in relationships. Not only will you speak directly from the heart, but there is also an expectation others will do the same.

GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
There may be some sadness to deal with, but the planets provide strength and a give glimpse of positive events to come. Some of you will soon take an important life step, while others experience a change of heart.

CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
A recent incident may have caused regret or left an emotional scar, but now is a time for healing and forgiveness. To avoid repeating past mistakes, ponder the lessons you have learned and put them to use.

LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
Your daily schedule, fitness routine or habit patterns could be disrupted through no fault of your own. And while a little shake-up may be beneficial, you will probably feel slighted or emotionally out of sorts.

VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
It may be time to turn over a new leaf, deepen a relationship or aim to improve your personal circumstances. The planets invoke confidence and enthusiasm, and all signs point towards near perfect timing.

LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
Think seriously about cutting your financial losses or admitting defeat in a relationship. If it appears you are on a hiding to nothing, there is absolutely no shame in giving up before a situation worsens.

SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
Tune into your sixth sense and you can pre-empt trouble, pick up subtle hints or seize an exciting opportunity. The signs look good for the remainder of the week, but you must act immediately on your intuition.

SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22) That seed of doubt planted in your mind by someone earlier in the year will either grow or wilt. Be honest with yourself and reject outright the lame excuses offered up by people who refuse to take responsibility.

CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
With the Moon in your sign there may be moments of confusion and others of pure joy. The secret to is to avoid knee-jerk reactions and put off important decisions until later in the week.

AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
After putting the finishing touches to a task you will breathe a sigh of relief and look for a change. Meantime, those who have been victims of unfair criticism can look forward to justice and retribution soon.

PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
You may need to engage in fancy footwork if you are looking to get the jump on others. Fortunately, Mars keeps the adrenaline pumping and you will cleverly make decisions or declarations while on the run.

YOUR DAY
Unsolicited opinions could come out of the blue, but most people will be reluctant to take advice. Lessons are best learned through personal experience and wisdom can only be acquired if there is a measure of pain attached to situations. Inner strength is likely to be the best weapon today.
YOUR BIRTHDAY
Rather than taking small baby steps, you will lift the pace in your new birthday year and set the bar higher. You may feel fate is leading you in a different direction or there will be fewer distractions and more resources at your finger tips.
