ARIES:  (March 21 to April 20)
The planets are a hybrid of positive and emotional energies.  You will tackle whatever life throws up with enthusiasm, but could be inclined to take things personally or lose heart easily.  Avoid putting pressure on yourself today. 

TAURUS:  (April 21 to May 21)
Self-belief is important and rather than expecting others to validate your feelings or endorse your ideas, you must act independently and trust you are on the right path.  The prospects for your sign look stunning. 

GEMINI:  (May 22 to June 21)
You may feel more at ease in someone's company now that your own confidence has been given a planetary boost.  And despite your usual craving for variety or adventure, you will happily settle for a regular routine. 

CANCER:  (June 22 to July 23)
There may be some finger pointing as people try to blame each other or pass the buck.  Be honest with yourself and others, and avoid playing mind games with those who insist on having the upper hand. 

LEO:  (July 24 to August 23)
You may be looking for love, approval, or fulfilment in all the wrong places.  Rather than believing the grass being greener elsewhere, accept that what you want or need may be right under your nose. 

VIRGO:  (August 24 to September 23)
A special person reminds you that you are not alone, unloved, or unappreciated.  However, there is still a chance you will fall into the trap of self-pity or doubt your own abilities.  Work in tandem with others today. 

LIBRA:  (September 24 to October 23)
Act from your own initiative and take responsibility for your actions.  There has been a recent tendency for your sign to cut corners and leave the detail of projects to someone who is more organised or energetic. 

SCORPIO:  (October 24 to November 22)
The next couple of days may seem physically, mentally, or emotionally demanding, but by mid-week there will be a renewal of energy. Communication is set to improve and siblings, friends or colleagues will lend a helping hand. 

SAGITTARIUS:  (November 23 to December 22)
You may have to wear several different hats, as diverse situations or people make demands on your time.  As you approach the end of your solar cycle, thoughts will turn to financial and organisational matters. 

CAPRICORN:  (December 23 to January 20)
If one of your fears, phobias, or insecurities rises to the surface, bravely face it head on.  Positive energy allows you to overcome old anxieties and use the power of your mind to change negative habit patterns. 

AQUARIUS:  (January 21 to February 19)
There may be some resistance to a plan or suggestion you put forward. However, your ability to communicate a positive message and use persuasive charm will help in the battle to change someone's mind. 

PISCES:  (February 20 to March 20)
Tap into the creative part of your personality and think up clever ways to win others over.  If an associate, friend, or family member has been hostile towards you, he or she will soon be back on side. 

YOUR DAY
Certain people or situations may seem superficial, but dig deeper and you will see more substance.  Sun in the last throes of Sagittarius teams up with Moon in Aries to create lively yet meaningful energy. Those who are considering a risky move, venture, or investment should do their homework and make a decision one way or another in the next few days. 

YOUR BIRTHDAY
You could be more inclined to coast along than make sweeping changes. The months ahead hold promise, but the secret is to take things slow and steady.  Relationships, your health, and domestic issues should be kept on an even keel until at least the second half of 2005 when a transformation may take place.
