KEY POINTS:
ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
Others embrace your ideas but question your application. Attention to detail is important if you want to create a good impression and achieve the best possible results. Adopt a hands-on approach to tasks today.
TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
You put aside preconceived notions and assess situations with an open mind. Mercury, the planet ruling thought and speech, turns you into a visionary. Others jump on your bandwagon and share in the spoils.
GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
Hopes might be raised and dashed but you bounce back quickly. Ruling Mercury allows you to think on the run and broaden the scope of your ideas. Creative challenges bring the greatest amount of pleasure.
CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
You balance hubris with humility in an effort to please people. In the process, you earn respect from friends and peers but also impress your critics. The emotional lean times come to a temporary halt.
LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
Stress eases during this period of relative calm. You can afford to give loved ones a little leeway and spend more time on leisure activities. Work-wise you may have to fine-tune routines or plans.
VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
Engage in honest discussions and seek genuine solutions to problems. Self-expression peaks and others react positively to any suggestions you make. There is no need for flowery prose or fancy gestures just heartfelt simplicity.
LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
Joint transactions are potentially profitable during this fiscal lunar cycle. Pool your resources and expertise with others but be selective about the team you choose. The minimal criteria must be shared values and beliefs.
SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
You trade apathy for curiosity. Mercury the nosy planet stirs your interest in people and subjects not previously on your radar. Use any newfound knowledge for practical purposes, personal growth or profitable ventures.
SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
You possess insight but are not necessarily objective. The lunar energy heightens passion and makes it more difficult to put personal prejudice or preference aside. Take your time making decisions and expressing opinions.
CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
Despite being aware of your own limitations you confidently take on a new role. Someone who is generous or practical by nature lends a gentle guiding hand and also plays the part of nurturer.
AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
Your interest in an issue expands and you explore further involvement. Look for hidden pitfalls when making assessments but also keep an open mind and let events unfold naturally. Yours is the clever sign today.
PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
You are able to convince the sceptics that an idea has merit. Your powers of persuasion coupled with street smarts makes it difficult for others to resist your overtures at this time. Think on your feet.
YOUR DAY
A gung-ho approach achieves results but not perfection. Tackle broad-spectrum issues rather than tasks that require a fine eye for detail. Opportunities are presented through networking and calling in favours from others.
YOUR BIRTHDAY
An unexpected bonus or opportunity allows you to be independent. There is less need for approval or acceptance and more time to follow your dreams. Travel, romance and new exploits figure prominently.
