ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
Your ability to take risks without making major mistakes can be attributed to well-matched planets. You will have a knack for weighing up situations and choosing the right option coupled with an amazing sixth sense.

TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
Rather than taking offence at the throwaway remarks of others, adopt an air of indifference. The stars render you vulnerable and it may be next week before you regain your position of power at home or work.

GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
This is a lively time for your sign and you should capitalise on the upbeat and expansive energy. You can set the wheels of change in motion without making waves within the family or among your colleagues.

CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
Your mood may be edgy, making it difficult to focus on the task at hand or personal problems. Take things a step at a time rather than jumping ahead and you will find that things become more manageable.

LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
Most of the elements for success are in place, but you must remain optimistic in the event of setbacks. A tendency to buck pass or look for excuses can be overcome by a positive mindset and practical support.

VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
Just as one problem is resolved, another crisis could crop up. Try to look on stumbling blocks as stepping-stones and use logic rather than letting emotion govern your every move. Objectivity is surely the key to success.

LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
You may have to take on extra duties or provide emotional support. Self-sacrifice is on the cards and while it may prevent you from meeting deadlines or engaging in leisure activities, satisfaction is the pay off.

SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
You will relate well to people from all walks of life, but you may not agree with their opinions or principles. Keep interaction with others on a superficial level and avoid revealing too much personal information.

SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
Take time out to pause and ponder your immediate past or future. Once you form a clearer picture of events, you can vow to live in the moment and stop dwelling on those things you cannot change.

CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
Your feelings might be fragile, but will probably fool most people into thinking you are in control. However some in your intimate circle will deduce there is a problem and offer to help. Graciously accept their support.

AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
After several changes of heart or mind, you will most likely settle into a comfortable niche soon. Someone who is well informed, a good communicator or proven friend, may be the key to helping you adjust.

PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
Battles may rage on one front, but all will be quiet elsewhere. Luckily it may only be trivial issues that cause conflict and having the last word should not be considered an option. Show inner strength by surrendering.

YOUR DAY
If something can go awry, it probably will. Clumsy and lazy influences suggest there will only be cursory consideration given to detail or long-term consequences today. There may also be a battle for popularity, with each person trying to outdo the other in flamboyant ways.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
You can either choose to let go this year or endure an untenable situation. The answers lie within and whatever course you choose, the main point is that you feel comfortable with your decision. Revisit your roots for further enlightenment or endorsement of your views.
