ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
A change of pace may be enough to bring levels of energy or enthusiasm back up to normal. Meantime, someone who has a calming effect on you could offer advice, affection or assistance this week.

TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
Communicate through actions rather than words and your message will have a much greater impact on people. As you quietly lead from the front, others are likely to follow your example and support your plans.

GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
There may be a defining moment when you suddenly see the truth about yourself or a situation. The healing power of Venus helps you put old grievances to rest and move forward in a positive frame of mind.

CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
A tendency to see situations as black and white may be out of character, but will ultimately bring the answers you seek. Expect a few surprises and be aware not everyone will approve of your extreme tactics.

LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
There may be plenty going on inside your head, but ideas alone will not generate productive outcomes. Whether you work alone or as part of a team, you must discuss thoughts and impressions with other people.

VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
If you are asked for an opinion, try not to impose subjective advice on others. Think carefully about the person, situation and expected outcome and modify suggestions to suit the special set of circumstances.

LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
Your initial excitement about an idea may wear off very quickly. You will either be too lazy or fearful of hidden pitfalls, but rather than explaining your concerns will offer creative excuses in order to save face.

SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
Demonstrate your appreciation in substantial ways, especially to those who have shown the love and loyalty you sometimes take for granted. The planets at this time provide the perfect balance between empathy, altruism and self-sacrifice.

SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22) Rather than sticking rigidly to the rules or following strict protocol, relax and opt for the informal approach. The planetary patterns encourage you to break with tradition and take risks you might normally shy away from.

CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
Someone who has been out of contact may be back in touch prompting you to pause and reflect on past events. Subtle influences help release suppressed thoughts and desires without undermining your faith in the future.

AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
Someone may be playing mind games, but you will have an almost telepathic ability to pick up on hidden agendas. Ponder your part in a situation and decide whether or not a change in tactics is needed.

PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
As you begin to see situations in a more optimistic light, you will also have greater tolerance towards others. And as one project comes to a successful conclusion, you may instantly launch yourself into something new.

YOUR DAY
Ulterior motives may drive people to make ambiguous statements or use diversionary tactics. There could also be a tendency to justify actions by believing the end justifies the means. In a constructive sense, today's tenacious and tricky influences can help clear up mysteries and are useful for research projects.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
If last year was a steep learning curve, your new birthday cycle could see you putting past lessons to good use. You will probably be more business-like in your personal and professional life, and look less likely to suffer fools gladly. Set some new financial goals.
