KEY POINTS:
ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
Behind-the-scene efforts begin to pay off. Whether you have been lobbying quietly on behalf of yourself or others, results and feedback start filtering in. It is wise never to burn your bridges.
TAURUS:
(April 21 to May 21)
After a false start or misunderstanding, a relationship settles into regular rhythm. The Moon favours alliances and its healing power helps patch up emotional problems with others. Some self-promotion would not go astray today.
GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
In general your aim should be to restore peace and quiet in your life. But more specifically you might consider absolving someone of blame in order to get one or more of your relationships back on track.
CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
Look for the positives and shoot from the hip. Your first impressions should be spot on, especially in your assessment of other people. If you are looking for some light relief, spontaneity will provide the most memorable moments.
LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
Humility and humour help diffuse tension. Put the feelings of others above your own and laugh off trivial issues rather than taking them seriously. Your mood and responses are likely to be mirrored by other people.
VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
Look on competition as a challenge. You currently have what it takes to succeed but must be resourceful at worst and ruthless at best to maintain the winning edge. Process information quickly and act without haste.
LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
An initiative launched about six months is about to bear fruit. A brief cycle of monotony is over and you become more business-like in your approach. Moon gifts you with a mind like a steel trap today.
SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
You might not be at your rational best but absurd ideas actually work. Whereas recently there has been little room for error, you now get away with the odd glitch and succeed by being a trailblazer.
SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
The potential exists for rapid growth. However to achieve optimum results you must now take a holistic approach to your health, family and financial matters. Issues are intertwined and nothing in life is really simple.
CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
A spirit of co-operation wraps itself around your sign. In response, you compromise in relationships, go along with the consensus at work or team up with people whose skills complement your own. Cash in quickly.
AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
To keep disappointment at bay, set modest goals and give yourself a pat on the back for each small achievement. You are more likely to be admired for your work ethic than productivity levels but any praise is better than none.
PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
You do what is smart not stimulating. The aim should be to feather your nest without treading on anyone's toes and suspend thrill-seeking acts until the timing is right. Small gains eventually grow your savings.
YOUR DAY
Tried and true methods might work best. Stick to routine as much as possible and save radical ideas or extreme action for another day. It is also important to use persuasive arguments rather than preaching to people.
YOUR BIRTHDAY
You might get back to basics or reconnect with your roots. Some self-analysis and background work helps in the process of goal setting for the year ahead and beyond. Change is inevitable but beneficial.
