KEY POINTS:
ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
Giving others the benefit of the doubt is made easier by compassionate stars. You accept that not everything can be neatly tied up and prefer harmony in relationships to personal satisfaction.
Unfinished business can wait.
TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
Moon on the cusp of your sign helps identify the big-picture issues. You can plan ahead without having to fill in all the details or inform others of your long-term intentions. Renewed optimism drives you.
GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
You classify success in emotional rather than material terms. Having battled to achieve personal happiness, each small victory brings feelings of satisfaction. The last thing you wish to do is hurt others along the way.
CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
A heart-to-heart talk might help get a relationship back on track. Seize the initiative and invite someone to the table with a view to settling your differences. Be honest but choose your words carefully.
LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
Peaks and troughs of enthusiasm can occur as the Moon moves away from your sign. Tackle essential chores while the mood is upbeat and give yourself a break when physical or mental energy levels run low.
VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
Red tape is a hindrance but hold-ups should be taken in your stride. Worry about those things you have control over and ignore what you cannot change. Be prepared to experiment and keep plans open-ended.
LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
Put the spark back in relationships by devoting extra time and energy. Giving up on someone should not be considered an option, particularly if you have always had a good rapport with that special person.
SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
Impulsive people could rattle your nerves or disrupt routine. The secret is to adapt and adjust as the day progresses and keep calm in the face of adversity. Try to avoid taking issues personally at this time.
SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
Moving outside your usual circle can bring enlightenment. It also opens doors to useful connections and helps hone your social or emotional skills. People might be won over by your affability and lack of guile.
CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
Self-deprecation comes courtesy of humble stars. Just be wary of short-changing yourself and learn to take credit where it is due. Encouragement could come from unexpected sources but it will be timely and useful.
AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
Actions speak louder than words today. You can lead by example if you adopt a hands-on approach at work and home whereas talk alone proves nothing. Show others you mean to succeed and keep your promises.
PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
The higher you aim the more you will achieve. By setting the bar at seemingly impossible levels, you can get the best out of yourself and remain focussed on the task at hand. Work ethic is everything.
YOUR DAY
Taking personal responsibility for one's own actions is the key to success. The energy is transparent and there is no point playing the blame game or trying to paper over cracks. Own up, make amends and move on.
YOUR BIRTHDAY
Let your imagination wander and draw on inner strength. Opportunities and obligations outside your usual environs or areas of expertise might take you by surprise. At least one scenario could be worthy of consideration.
