ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
There is a sense of false bravado around Aries and you could be inclined to bite off more than you can chew or take too many risks. Rather than trying to prove yourself, take cautious steps forward.

TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
An unexpected chain of events may add interest, variety or excitement to your day. The deeper issues of life are likely to hold the most appeal, while superficial people and trivial issues will probably bore you.

GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
Your mood may be part pensive part progressive, but you will have an uncanny ability to chart your own destiny. The emotional Moon in your partnership zone may connect you with someone who will play an important role.

CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
A chosen goal may remain just out of reach, but tenacity and intuition help you inch slowly closer. Your ruler the Moon is waning and you will have to wait a week before results start trickling in.

LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
The Moon in your relationship sector heralds a change of direction from some and improved social activity for others. Either way a void in your heart, diary, or personal life is likely to be filled soon.

VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
While you may be sympathetic to the plight of a family member, you will probably tire of his or her outlook on life. Encourage others to help themselves rather than carrying their burdens on your own shoulders.

LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
You will happily resolve a contentious issue so that you can progress further in your relationship with a loved one. Bear in mind that persuasion will work better than pressure when trying to win others over today.

SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
Once you give your word or promise there will be no turning back. Friends and family need to know you are loyal, while colleagues must be able to rely on you for support. Money may be an issue.

SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
Moon and Mars in your sign give pause for thought about a personal issue. Reflect on events of six months ago and you may find a clue about where to focus your energies in the immediate future.

CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
Self-discipline and integrity are featured strongly in your chart and you should aim to achieve both. You must expect nothing of others that you would not be prepared to give of yourself. Aim for equality in relationships.

AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
You may be prepared to bend over backwards in order to avoid confrontation, but will know deep down that a face-off is imminent. The lunar energy draws attention to the gracious and charming side of your personality.

PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
People with too much time on their hands may draw you into their emotional dramas. Moon at the apex of your chart makes you a magnet for troublemakers, but Saturn continues to protect you from any real harm.

YOUR DAY
Lunar energy may be waning, but lively planets provide enough of a boost to help raise spirits. Many people will be prepared to gamble on ventures or investments and there may be a greater tendency than usual to take personal risks. Generally speaking, the cosmic climate is friendly, outgoing, rebellious, and favourable for travel, study, and physical activities. Let your hair down today.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
There may be more personal burdens to bear this year, but you will be both stronger and better prepared. The secret is to take one step at a time, keep your head down, and remain self-sufficient. Health-wise, the right balance of activity and relaxation will help keep energy levels buoyant.
