ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
Your universe expands and obstacles fall one by one. Those who have been chipping away at a task may suddenly leap ahead, while more reserved Aries emerge from their cocoon and push through physical or emotional boundaries.

TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
You will have a strong intuitive grasp of how to deal with people and situations. The atmosphere may be charged at times, but your subtle strength and persistence is likely to have a calming effect on others.

GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
Lunar energy may be draining and could make you emotionally vulnerable. Try to avoid people who play on your weaknesses or those who exert influence for manipulative reasons. Be discerning in all your dealings with others.

CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
Moon in your intuitive sector helps guide you through the minefield of choices. If something feels good or right you must trust your sixth sense, even if that means flying in the face of opposition.

LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
You may be the go-to person in situations that require swift responses and strong leadership. Rather than tackling problems from an emotional standpoint, you will cut through detail and come up with logical conclusions.

VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
In order to smooth over cracks in a relationship, you must be brutally honest with yourself and others. Break out of old habit patterns and face the fact that nothing good can come from turning a blind eye.

LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
With a lighter heart and stronger spirit, you will set out on a purposeful mission. And rather than taking the conventional route to achieve your aims, ideas and tactics are likely to come out of left field.

SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
Allow others to set the terms and tempo while you take a back seat. Patience and compromise may not reflect your true character or feelings, but will bring better results than if you over-control situations.

SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
You may find yourself in a double-act with a partner who helps bring out your best side. And because there is a beautiful balance in the relationship sector, each shared experience will create happy memories.

CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
Circumstances may suddenly change, throwing you off course and causing discomfort. The secret to coping is flexibility but because you work best to a plan, it may not be easy to go with the flow.

AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
The planets provide that missing x-factor and whether your job or a relationship requires a spark, the immediate future looks bright. Your ultimate aim should be to break out of old habit patterns and start afresh.

PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
If someone expresses opposition to one of your ideas, resubmit the proposal in a different format rather than giving in. Once you go back to the drawing board and fine-tune plans, people will quickly jump onboard.

YOUR DAY
The lunar energy is erratic, but can be used positively to add variety to the day. Keep timetables flexible, plans open-ended, and allow input from others. There may be pleasant surprises arising from spontaneity in routine and relationships, although productivity levels could plummet in the process.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
Go about your business quietly and earn your stripes through action rather than words. Emotional and financial security goes hand in hand, suggesting your efforts in the year ahead will be for the good of everyone and not just yourself. Selflessness brings rich rewards.
