ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
You may have to justify your actions or defend your reputation to someone. Moon moving through the conscientious part of your chart urges you to project the best possible image in order to win the respect of others.

TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
The liberating energy allows you to take more time out for preferred people and pet projects. If you have been frustrated or are suffering pangs of self-doubt, you will welcome positive feedback from friends and your associates.

GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
Your suspicions may be aroused and you will begin to question the motives of someone you love. The planetary energy heightens awareness, but it could also make you more paranoid than usual. Try to lighten up.

CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)

LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
Subtlety may not be your strong point, but you will end up feeling frustrated if you have to tone down your words. To avoid unnecessary arguments, stop pushing other peoples' buttons or putting your own needs first.

VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)

With Moon in your sign, affairs of the heart will take precedence and life may be more fulfilling. Loved ones are likely to have a greater awareness of where you are coming from and what you need.

AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
If you wish to draw attention to yourself project a more positive image. Eyes will be on you and the critics may harsher than usual, assessing your performance on the superficial as well as the profound.

PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
Self-belief provides you with the motivation and enthusiasm to take on tasks you normally consider beyond you. The idea this week is to think long-term rather than only taking life a step at a time.

YOUR DAY
The Moon is in the cardinal sign of Capricorn and its presence augurs well for undertakings that require sustained concentration, ruthless decision-making and a hands-on approach. Relationships may cool emotionally during this period, but there will still be a strong sense of loyalty and desire to do the right thing. Expect people to take themselves more seriously today.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
You may wish to branch out, go back to square one or start afresh. However, you will be loath to continue with a relationship or situation that has become stagnant. Ponder your options then make the move you most likely consider will bring the greatest happiness and success.
