ARIES:  (March 21 to April 20)
You may feel ill at ease in a situation, but you will mask your discomfort and bluff your way through.  The fact is yours is one of the most ambitious signs today and nothing will stop you from achieving an objective. 

TAURUS:  (April 21 to
May 21)
Despite your best efforts to hang on to a person or situation, it may be time to cut your losses and move forward.  The recentrenewal of energy provides the enthusiasm and resources needed to start a new venture. 

GEMINI:  (May 22 to June 21)
Some of you may embark upon a journey of personal enlightenment, while others plan a trip away from their usual environment.  Either way, the change will provide a much- needed change for restless or bored Gemini natives. 

CANCER:  (June 22 to July 23)
Joint effort will yield better results than independent action and share experiences will be far more satisfying.  Someone who is dynamic, a leader, or has the know-how you lack may be your lucky charm this month. 

LEO:  (July 24 to August 23)
You may be out of your league or unsure of yourself, but rather than trying to fit in should celebrate your uniqueness.  Your sign plays the role of leader so much better than that of follower. 

VIRGO:  (August 24 to September 23)
With free-flowing energy surging through your sign, you will feel less inhibited and more at peace with yourself.  The channels of communication will open up and frank discussions may generate innovative business ideas, or easier personal relationships. 

LIBRA:  (September 24 to October 23)
You mind may wander or your heart will be in two places at once.  It may be time to implement changes in a project, relationship, or situation, so that you feel more grounded and emotionally at peace. 

SCORPIO:  (October 24 to November 22)
You will move into a new life phase when money, prestige, and public image take precedence over petty personal problems.  There is no need to be ruthless in your dealings with others, but you must be business-like. 

SAGITTARIUS:  (November 23 to December 22)
Life has come full circle for many Sagittarians and someone or something you left behind earlier in the year may resurface.  You will either be painfully aware of your loss or relieved that you made the right decision. 

CAPRICORN:  (December 23 to January 20)
Keeping secrets or seeing others through rose-coloured glasses could lead to your downfall today.  Be honest and upfront with loved ones, and avoid glossing over situations in the vain hope they will turn out right. 

AQUARIUS:  (January 21 to February 19)
You could come across as self-interested to others, but you are on a mission and nothing will stop you from achieving an aim.  Many Aquarians are about to find a new niche after months of soul-searching. 

PISCES:  (February 20 to March 20)
Sensuous stars take the chill out of a relationship and put you in touch with inner feelings.  Whether you cosy up with your partner or revel in your creature comforts, satisfaction levels are likely to be high. 

YOUR DAY
Moon in the executive sign of Capricorn encourages goal-setting and ruthless decision-making.  Problems should be dealt with in a no-nonsense way and responsibilities towards self and others must be taken seriously.  Meantime, Venus and Mercury in obsessive Scorpio suggest it will be difficult to let go of a point or look at life in a light-hearted way.  In summary, the energy today is solemn and intense. 

YOUR BIRTHDAY
You may have to play a waiting game to get what you want, but newfound determination helps guarantee success.  Powerful Pluto plays an important role adding drama to relationships and making your unusually intense.  You may also be more secretive and less inclined to accept people at face value.
