KEY POINTS:
ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
Look for the positives and shoot straight from the hip. Your first impressions will doubtless be spot on, while social spontaneity looks likely to provide the most memorable moments. The pleasure principle applies all day.
TAURUS:
(April 21 to May 21)
A little humility and humour go a long way towards diffusing tensions. Apart from choosing your battles carefully today, it would be wise to expect nothing of others you are not prepared to give in return.
GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
There could be competitive person vying for your attention or attempting to steal your thunder. To retain the winning edge keep your wits about you at all times and carefully conceal information. Ingenuity is your secret weapon.
CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
An innovative venture launched several months ago is about to bear fruit. A long cycle of monotony is likely to be broken in the process and you might be inspired to experiment in other creative areas.
LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
If heart and head are in conflict, follow your feelings. There is currently little room for rationale in your life and yet much to be gained from going against the tide of popular opinion. Be a trailblazer.
VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
The potential exists for rapid growth or development in your personal life. However to achieve optimum results take a holistic approach to health, family and financial matters but keep a foot in the conventional camp as well.
LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
A spirit of co-operation wraps itself around your sign, prompting you to compromise in relationships and adopt the majority vote at work. Teaming up with others also speeds up processes, allowing the early completion of deadlines.
SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
When energy or motivation is difficult to muster, seek inspiration elsewhere. Someone with a strong work ethic or impressive profile might be prepared to offer advice or assistance. You could also try setting more modest goals.
SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
Sometimes a contrary mood strikes and you play opposites with people for fun. However, your tactics could backfire today and people might frown on the repetitiveness of your behaviour. Consider cleaning up your act.
CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
You remain in a prime position yet there is still work to be done behind the scenes. Keep certain facts to yourself for the moment but stop short of engaging in secretive behaviour and burning your bridges.
AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
After a couple of false starts you settle into a new or modified routine. And the more you become accustomed to the changes, the happier you feel about your circumstances. Your problem-solving ability is second-to-none.
PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
In general your aim should be to restore peace and quiet in your life. In particular you might consider absolving someone of blame to get a working relationship back on track.
YOUR DAY
Do whatever you have to keep the majority happy. The emphasis today is on resolving problems rather than creating them so keep your cool and exercise tact. Socially, the energy is flirtatious and light-hearted banter helps take the tension out of relationships.
YOUR BIRTHDAY
The theme for the next twelve months is independence. If you want to make a name for yourself, start by establishing contacts and follow with a new venture. Plans put in place now could set you up for years to come.
