ARIES:  (March 21 to April 20)
If you feel dispirited or wish you could change the status quo, take a complete break from routine.  Moon hovering around the expansive part of your chart fires you up and makes you more adventurous or cheeky.

TAURUS:  (April 21 to May 21)
Feelings of need or intensity could lead to stress and problems close relationships.  If there is something you want to get off your chest, speak directly from the heart and seek help from those you trust.

GEMINI:  (May 22 to June 21)
A problem may be resolved soon, allowing you to make a fresh start as you head into the New Year.  Tune into the fun side of your personality, express your feelings and avoid getting hung up on trivia.

CANCER:  (June 22 to July 23)
The dynamics may change within a close relationship, resulting in a more equal distribution of power and influence.  In hindsight you will see where things went wrong in the past, but there is no point apportioning blame.

LEO:  (July 24 to August 23)
The planets pick out your strengths and weaknesses, showing how powerful yet vulnerable you can be.  There will be a clear-cut choice in the days ahead, followed by the realisation of a long-held dream or ambition.

VIRGO:  (August 24 to September 23)
As you continue to recover from a recent setback, you will reflect on the valuable lessons you learned from the experience.  In future you can approach similar situations with a touch of scepticism and newfound sense of wisdom.

LIBRA:  (September 24 to October 23)
The planets emphasise home, family and finances.  Now is a good time to initiate change in these areas, bearing in mind if you hold on too tightly to a person or situation it could slip from your grasp.

SCORPIO:  (October 24 to November 22)
Avoid going to extremes to demonstrate a personal belief or prove an intellectual point.  Your all-or-nothing approach to life sometimes lands you in hot water and could have a particularly negative impact right now.

SAGITTARIUS:  (November 23 to December 22)
The opportunity to make amends or change an aspect of your life comes courtesy of planets compatible planets.  Set right a past mistake, seize your second chance or wave the white flag to end hostilities in a relationship.

CAPRICORN:  (December 23 to January 20)
If your attitude or approach to life is having a negative effect on others, now is the perfect time to reinvent yourself.  Listen carefully to friends and loved ones and take their well-meaning advice on board.

AQUARIUS:  (January 21 to February 19)
Concern for the welfare of others is uppermost on your mind, but you will not be required to make sacrifices.  Venus static in your sign helps you find the right balance between duty and desire, while boosting popularity.

PISCES:  (February 20 to March 20)
A recent tendency to disrupt your own course or sabotage happiness may stem from resentment or insecurity.  Fortunately, a subtle shift in planetary energy puts you into damage control and teaches you how to right past wrongs.

YOUR DAY
There is a sense of enjoyment in the planets and gratifying feedback could provide an ego boost to many.  If you are finding it hard to draw attention to yourself, bear in mind that people are more likely to be preoccupied rather than spiteful.  Hasty words or actions could be cause for regret.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
Indulge your senses and go for the most interesting propositions or unusual relationships.  The planets are encouraging you to break out in the year ahead, especially while lucky Jupiter forms a friendly angle to your sign.  Others are likely to be intrigued by your chameleon-like ability to reinvent yourself.
