KEY POINTS:
ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
The difference between success and failure is largely attitude. Your tendency to take control may be seen as autocratic; hence you should choose battles carefully. Project your best possible image to the world today.
TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
New prospects beckon but teamwork is the key. Rather than sitting on your hands and waiting for others to take the initiative, make yourself part of the process. The chic planet Venus accentuates your charm.
GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
With all eyes in your direction, you aim for excellence. Near enough is not good enough and your reputation rests on first class results. A little optimism from Venus brightens your day while Jupiter provides the contacts.
CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
A campaign comes to fruition and you are buoyed by success. Moon in the social sector brings others on board with your plans, giving further cause for celebration. Start working on a grander vision for the future.
LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
In a perfect world you would hold sway over others. The lesser ideal is to trade off trivial urges in favour of your heart's desire. Take some time over decisions and avoid people who take unfair advantage.
VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
You are ready to make changes and rectify past wrongs. The cosmic energy flows in your favour but you must begin by taking the initiative. Small seeds planted now grow into interesting ideas down the track.
LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
Your insight is invaluable right now. Moon at the chart's base allows you to interpret hidden meanings and feelings without reading too much into situations. There is a fine line between perception and paranoia.
SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
If you open the lines of communication, a shift in the balance of power is possible. Your one-dimensional view of a situation may benefit from discussion, research or simply listening to different opinions.
SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
Interest in a topic or project is re-ignited. The mood is practical rather than creative and hands-on tasks are likely to hold the greatest appeal. Call in past favours when advice or assistance is needed.
CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
You cut to the chase and save everyone's time. Mars, the planet of direct action, enters your sign and transforms you into a decisive dealmaker. A sharp hike in productivity levels looks likely this week.
AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
Keeping a level head reduces the risk of problems. Planets in the pensive zone encourage you to think first and act later rather than making impulsive moves. You must also choose your words carefully today.
PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
Your ideas seem to come from left field. Planets in the freethinking sector enhance creativity and encourage you to trust your hunches. There is little others can do or say to shock you today.
YOUR DAY
Mars, the planet of physical expression, is in sturdy Capricorn. Robust energy increases the capacity for hard work and eliminates the need for constant approval. Ethics and etiquette are important today.
YOUR BIRTHDAY
You feel connected to the people around you. Psychic links are strong and a sense of belonging provides a much-needed emotional boost. Trading off freedom for harmony is an easy choice.
