ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
You will adapt easily to changing circumstances and should use your powers of persuasion to bring others on board. Your skills as a leader or co-ordinator could come in handy when everyone else is floundering this weekend.

TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
The planets challenge you to bring a problem out into the open and resolve it with quiet strength. Whether you have been burying your head in the sand or avoiding confrontation, it is time to face your demons.

GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
Rather than accepting offers of advice or assistance, you will march to the beat of your own drum. And while your actions could cause a few raised eyebrows, you will be loath to change your views or tactics.

CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
Although you may prefer privacy or autonomy, the energy favours teamwork. Accept that you may have to spend time in the spotlight or take orders from others, but take comfort in the fact that success is forecast.

LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
If someone else has been calling the shots, a reversal of fortunes puts you back in control. Assertive stars teach you how to take a stand without losing the respect of others or compromising your values.

VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
Moon moving through your house of health and routine urges you to de-clutter, focus on your own wellbeing and revise your timetable. Be pedantic in your endeavours and look at the big picture rather than the details.

LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
Love and companionship are important factors for your emotional health. However, you must be aware that relationships require give and take and need to be constantly nurtured. Be proactive and issue invitations or make suggestions.

SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
A highly evolved sense of justice may help you through a maze of moral choices. One decision you make could have long-term ramifications, while an emotional choice comes down to what is best for everyone concerned.

SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
An intriguing invitation or innovative idea could be the catalyst for change. You might be inspired to try something different or will mix with unusual people. Rather than feeling like a misfit, you will probably shine.

CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
Take care of tedious tasks first, as the longer you vacillate the more daunting they will become. You may be particularly reluctant to engage in a discussion with someone who refuses to see your point of view.

AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
As you begin to find your feet in a situation, your confidence will grow. Moon in your sign highlights matters close to home and makes you more wary than usual about taking emotional or professional risks.

PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
Try to avoid falling back into old habit patterns or allowing other people to pull the strings. Recent past mistakes and unhealthy relationships could be symptomatic of your reluctance to change tactics or undergo an attitude adjustment.

YOUR DAY
Communicate in a rational way and accept that others think differently. There may be some bizarre ideas put forward today, but brilliant concepts could also come out of the blue. Those who twist the truth to suit their own situation might be surprised how easily the tactic backfires or fails.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
If a little luck is needed to get you over the line, expect things to fall your way in upcoming months. Provided you have done your research on a project, planned properly and followed through, success will come sooner than anticipated. Share the spoils with others.
