ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
You could be inclined to take issues personally today, but people in your environment will value your opinions and advice. Detaching yourself emotionally from a discussion or the problems of a loved one could prove almost impossible.
TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
A glamorous, eye-catching or influential person could cross your path and have an influence on a decision you make. You will be strangely impressed by outward appearances and more conscious than usual of your own image.

GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
Your flair for probing others' secrets and picking up on the prevailing mood give you a significant edge over most of your competitors today. You will know instinctively what others want, need and are up to.

CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
Money, binding agreements and investments are all highlighted, with positive outcomes predicted in both the short and long term. Arm yourself with all the facts, figures and statistics you can before making any firm commitments.

LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
You may have to forfeit leisure time to help the less fortunate, but self-sacrifice will come easily. Just a word of warning though, your emotions are close to the surface and you may absorb negative energy from others.

VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
The pace will gradually pick up, leaving you less time for attention to detail. Rather than cutting corners or settling for second-best, focus attention on creative or physical activities and ignore the trivial issues.

LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
Your outlook may be more philosophical than usual, allowing you to see both sides of an argument. You might be called upon to speak on behalf of others or argue your case and will give an impressive performance.

SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
On the surface an issue may appear cut and dried. However, a more complex picture will emerge once you peel away the layers and unearth new or relevant information. Think twice before making a commitment or promise.

SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
You could be inclined to hedge your bets, but if you sit on the fence too long an opportunity will be lost. There is a strong need for leadership, but you may lack the dedication to play the role.

CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
What you lack patience you will more than make up for with skill. Yours is likely to be the most productive and admired sign in the zodiac today, but you could also be considered the most ruthless.

AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
If you feel restless or disinterested, make small rather than wholesale changes. The worst thing you could do this month is burn your bridges as down the track you may need to revisit a person or situation.

PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
There could be friction between you and a friend or colleague, but arguments will be minor and short-lived. Put emotion aside and think carefully about the role you have played in a friendship or budding romance.

YOUR DAY
Subjective points of view may be proffered and discussion will probably focus on feelings rather than opinions. It may be difficult to get a hearing from others and practical support could be harder than usual to come by. Even the most mundane tasks will be considered nerve-racking by some as Moon in fretful Cancer causes people to worry over trivial issues.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
Your dedication to a person, project or place may be acknowledged in a tangible way in the first half of your birthday year. And while you continue to build on your asset base or invest emotion in a close relationship, you will feel a strong sense of satisfaction and achievement.
