KEY POINTS:
ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
Praise may be difficult to earn, but a lack of it makes you work harder. Once given the seal of approval from someone, you will feel vindicated and content. Raise the bar further for your next challenge.
TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
Make an extra effort to understand the motives of others. The lunar energy breaks down communication barriers and provides you with insight as well as perseverance. Be level headed but learn to trust your hunches.
GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
You may begin an assignment without thought for the outcome. Unfortunately, careless planning could be your undoing and more consideration must be given to long-term consequences. Be innovative but also engage in research and development.
CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
Raising your tone or resorting to sarcasm will only worsen a situation. Instead you should out-manoeuvre people through clever tactics and forward planning. Mercury the messenger helps you strike the perfect verbal chord.
LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
Sometimes your eye for detail is out of focus. However the current pedantic planets encourage you to dig deep and uncover hidden facts or meanings. In some instances, your mind may be like the proverbial steel trap.
VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
You may be more aware of the machinations going on around you. With eyes and ears open wider than usual, you have a handle on complicated affairs and can deal swiftly with issues that arise today.
LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
Once your mind is made up, nothing will dissuade you from a particular course of action. The energy is both brave and brilliant, allowing you to dodge the emotional bullets being shot out by others.
SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
Colourful people keep you amused, yet challenge you to be better. The ladder of success stands waiting for you to climb, while your place in the social pecking order looks set to rise. Get on board now.
SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
Rather than using provocative language, tiptoe around situations. The less said the better, especially when confronted by those who try to twist your words. You can gain the upper hand by devious rather than obvious means.
CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
Your humdrum world takes on an element of excitement. Adventure comes courtesy of planets in Scorpio and while you may not become an overnight maverick, you will certainly surprise people with your eccentricities.
AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
Breaking out of old habit patterns is never easy. However, the ideal opportunity could soon present itself and you may be suddenly motivated to change your behaviour. Nothing less than perfection should be considered good enough.
PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
Before you embark on something new, evaluate your aims and expectations. It is important not to scatter your energies or waste opportunities due to a lack of planning. Organisation is the name of the game today.
YOUR DAY
Conditions are ripe for developing strategies and solving problems. Close scrutiny is the key to success, especially where fine print or several different aspects need to be interpreted. Also, the heat may be turned up on relationships today, especially between people who share a physical attraction.
YOUR BIRTHDAY
Preserve energy for important issues and leave the trivial details to others. You may engage in some soul-searching soon and from that a personal plan of action could emerge. During the year, different people in your life will fulfil various needs and desires.
