KEY POINTS:
ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
You harden your heart to someone for his or her own good. Tough love is your preferred option at this time and despite the occasional pangs of guilt, you manage to pull off an amazing result.
TAURUS: (April 21 to
May 21)
If someone offers encouragement or assistance make a mental note to return the favour. The general mood is receptive and a little backslapping could go a long way towards creating mutually beneficial outcomes today.
GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
Engaging in self-deception does not make a situation better or worse, it just helps you feel better about things. Life can only settle into a stable pattern if you are honest with yourself and others.
CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
Your colourful language or exploits might seem out of character but make you more appealing. Let others take a one-size-fits-all approach to life while you venture beyond the boundaries set by mainstream society.
LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
A recent failure to follow protocol seemed like a good idea at the time. But it seems whenever you step out of line, your actions come back to bite you. Be warned that not everyone is on your side.
VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
If unity has been your goal, expect results sooner rather than later. With helpful stars you relate more easily to others and in turn they are eager to fit in. There is a special aura around your relationships.
LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
Social plans are worth making, if only to broaden your horizons. The more visible you are, the greater your chance of being in the right place at the right time. You cannot underestimate the value of networking.
SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
If you feel fragile, circumvent problems and people who push your buttons. Also, take the occasional break from your usual routine and defer decisions weighing on your mind. You could also pass the baton to a protégé.
SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
Rather than seeing yourself as a victim, capitalise on your underdog status. You can slip under other people's radar and still come up trumps. Also, your ability to turn negatives into positives is without equal in the zodiac.
CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
Some misguided souls might deem your actions rebellious, but those in the know find that description laughable. You cannot please everyone at the moment, so seek approval only from your loyal friends and loved ones.
AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
Take your hat off to people who deserve praise. Like everyone else, you have your limitations but thanks to the invaluable advice or assistance from those around you, near impossible feats can be achieved.
PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
Several different options open up and you know instinctively which one to choose. Whether you opt for mini-makeover or break from the hustle and bustle, it all helps widen your horizons and outlook.
YOUR DAY
Situations are difficult to scrutinise today. The stars are secretive and rather than wearing their hearts on their sleeves, most people are likely to mask their feelings and intentions. The good news is that words will not be spoken in haste nor the boat rocked.
YOUR BIRTHDAY
As you wind down a cycle, a glimpse of the future emerges. But before embarking on any new ventures, it is important to settle old scores and repent. Adopt a back-to-basics approach in the year ahead and life should flow smoothly.
