ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
You may have to make last-minute changes to plans, but the upshot is you will be better off. The planets heighten creativity and provide people to bounce ideas around with or guide you in the right direction.

TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
Once you initiate an idea, enlist the help of a practical person to take care of details. The big picture is important, but meticulous attention will help produce the best possible results. Teamwork is the key.

GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
A subtle change in circumstances could work to your advantage, but you must be malleable and think on the run. If your routine or a relationship has become boring, the missing spark will soon be back.

CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
Someone who is indecisive or unreliable could cause an upset or delay one of your plans. The message for your sign is double-check all arrangements and wherever possible, work independently of others. You must also curb spending.

LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
The focus will shift from personal to financial issues in the next few days and it is important to keep a cool head. You may have to make a decision that will affect your future security or stability.

VIRGO (August 24 to September 23)
You may have to devote extra physical or emotional energy to helping others, but you will no doubt manage to keep on top of your own work. The downside could be a lack of reward for effort.

LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
Someone who has doubted you in the past may become a strong ally as you navigate a difficult situation. You will soon feel more optimistic about the future and less anxious about one of your close relationships.

SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
It may be in your nature to view people and situations suspiciously, but forthright stars encourage you to give others the benefit of the doubt. The secret is to live in the moment and ignore past prejudices.

SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22) Your dedication to a relationship or pet project will begin to bear fruit. And despite your reluctance to take credit for the outstanding results, others are likely to pay tribute in touching and tangible ways.

CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
There may be a few hurdles to overcome in your personal life, but you will look on them as challenges rather than problems. An unexpected encounter with a newcomer or good advice from a friend will enlighten you.

AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
The lunar energy creates helps you reconcile a relationship problem and see situations from opposing points of view. Focus on what you can do to create harmony rather than expecting others to make the first move.

PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
The antics of someone may be annoying, but perhaps that person is attention seeking rather than being trying to cause trouble. Look for underlying reasons behind situations rather than jumping to conclusions or taking retaliatory action.

YOUR DAY
The energy is passionate, erratic and a little rebellious. Low-key types may have a greater lust for life, while those who are already upbeat could become manic. Expect others to speak from the heart and be prepared for knee-jerk responses when dropping bombshells or making statements for shock value.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
Little by little you will chip away at a problem until suddenly it ceases to exist. Wisdom and patience could be your two greatest gifts, and while it may be out of character to take life slowly the planets require you to do just that.
