ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
You may have to bide time until you find a suitable project or outlet for your creative energy. Ask yourself what you need in order to feel like a useful contributor or to be fulfilled and happy.

TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
Frank discussions and admission of your own shortcomings may be the first steps towards better relationships. Moon in your sign suggests that what you need or have been looking for could be right under your nose.

GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
Think twice before speaking and listen to what others have to say. You could be prone to deflecting blame and being single-minded, characteristics that could lose you the love and respect of your nearest and dearest.

CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
A problem may be resolved or a secret revealed. The aura of mystery and uncertainty that has surrounded your sign will lift, giving you greater clarity and allowing you to make plans for the immediate future.

LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
Someone may try to manipulate or outshine you, but you will be in no mood for power plays today. Expect battles to be hard fought and won, or try to avoid competitive people and situations altogether.

VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
Enthusiasm and energy levels are on the rise, making this a favourable time to start new projects. With the emphasis on ambition, adventure and opportunity, many Virgos will push the boundaries during the next four weeks.

LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
Forever the creative thinker, you may astound others with an ingenious plan or benevolent gesture. It may be difficult to gather support for one your ideas, but a little charm and some quick talking will win people over.

SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
You are entering a period of recovery and the people you meet or projects you undertake will play an important role in the healing process. Someone special deserves recognition for helping to bring about positive change.

SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
You may inadvertently attract criticism and will withdraw into your shell rather than fighting back. There could also be a contentious issue to deal with and while you will take up the challenge, confidence levels may be low.

CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
Although you prefer to know what lies ahead, an aura of mystery surrounds your sign at present. Fortunately, the planetary energy works in your favour and you will soon have greater clarity or a reason to celebrate.

AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
The lunar energy compels you to pause and ponder an aspect of your life, but it also foreshadows a brighter future. The time has come to put a past situation behind you and learn from the mistakes you made.

PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
The planets combine to boost your chances in the career area and increase your popularity on a personal level. If there has been an element of uncertainty in life, you can expect to receive an explanation.

YOUR DAY
Today's Moon in earth bound Taurus makes this the best time to put down solid foundation stones for the future. There is also a ruthless streak in the stars that suggests tough decisions will be made, but probably at a personal cost. Swallow your pride, be proactive and if you want to succeed, forget about winning popularity polls.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
The vibe in the year ahead will suit the practical and ambitious side of your nature. At least one wish is likely to be fulfilled and you may reconnect with people who have been out of touch. Just remember to give back as much love and goodwill as you receive.
