ARIES:  (March 21 to April 20)
A desire to win someone over could see you going to great lengths this week.  And whether heart or head is driving you, all signs point towards a successful mission.  Passion will be nicely combined with patience. 

TAURUS:  (April 21 to May 21)
Secrecy and
privacy are important, and while some of you withhold information others may isolate themselves from the crowd.  It will be very difficult for you to let go once you set your mind on something. 

GEMINI:  (May 22 to June 21)
You may feel a strong attraction to the type of person you would normally consider your opposite.  The mood is flirtatious and as well as your curiosity being aroused, you will also be playful with people. 

CANCER:  (June 22 to July 23)
An air of superiority or self-confidence may elevate your status in the eyes of others.  However, you must be wary of coming across as arrogant or taking on assignments that are outside your area of expertise. 

LEO:  (July 24 to August 23)
You can renegotiate a relationship or contract with complete confidence in your ability and the outcome.  Second efforts and chances are under very favourable stars, and any lingering self-doubts will gradually dissolve as the week progresses. 

VIRGO:  (August 24 to September 23)
Family matters need special attention and the message for your sign is act quickly or the opportunity for peace or resolution will pass. Deal with unpleasant issues first and work your way up to rewarding tasks. 

LIBRA:  (September 24 to October 23)
An opportunity for a change in role or scene may bring an unexpected jolt of pride and happiness.  Your also have wonderful aspects for interaction with siblings, friends or colleagues who have been estranged or demanding. 

SCORPIO:  (October 24 to November 22)
While certain aspects of your life may be lacking, other needs will be adequately met.  Rather than coveting what others have, work at improving your own circumstances and sense of worth.  Success comes to those who help themselves. 

SAGITTARIUS:  (November 23 to December 22)
Life may be fuller or more diverse than usual, but you will probably thrive on additional challenges.  And while Moon in your sign may set off emotional sparks, it beats the recent blandness of your relationships. 

CAPRICORN:  (December 23 to January 20)
A boost in self-confidence reduces your need for acceptance or approval from others.  And if negative thought patterns have recently caused resentment or indifference, a more positive mindset will snap you into action and generate success. 

AQUARIUS:  (January 21 to February 19)
Lunar energy provides a timely wake-up call about the effect your actions have on others.  Use your knowledge and foresight in positive ways by passing on advice to an apprentice or thinking twice about a proposed move. 

PISCES:  (February 20 to March 20)
Your heart will certainly be in the right place, but the Moon's awkward angle suggests your timing may be off or you will put your foot in your mouth.  Be measured in your approach and discerning in relationships. 

YOUR DAY
The fire sign luminaries provide a burst of energy, eagerness and enjoyment.  There could be a tendency to take a cavalier approach to life, but more often than not gambles will pay off.  And the more challenging a task appears, the greater the rewards and sense of satisfaction will be afterwards.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
Restraint is needed this year, so take things slowly rather than rushing in.  The more patient and tolerant you are, the healthier your relationships, bank balance and position at work are likely to be.  Also the more childlike others are, the more mature you will be.
