ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
Pour on the charm and you will have others eating out of your hand. You have a big heart and generous spirit, but your greatest asset today is the ability to make people feel loved and wanted.

TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
You may be slow to anger, but once riled others will feel the full force of your wrath. Count to ten when you feel your stress levels rise or temporarily remove yourself from a nerve-racking situation.

GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
Offer up a quick plea to the planets when all else fails. Moon in your sign bestows the gift of insight and offers hope where only days ago there was none. Long distance connections may be a highlight.

CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
If you attend to matters personally, you will have a much clearer idea of where you stand. Moon in the self-contained part of your chart indicates a hands-on approach is your best bet in most situations.

LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
Rather than going along with the majority vote, have the courage to strike out on your own. With Moon in the impartial part of your chart, you will be both objective and courageous when making important decisions.

VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
If you have been playing a waiting game or taking the path of least resistance, expect a shake up soon. Advice, opportunity or assistance could come from the most unexpected sources and will bring about swift solutions.

LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
Use your charitable instincts to brighten up the life of someone who feels despondent, isolated, or lacks self-esteem. The results of your efforts could come as a surprise and you cannot underestimate the difference you can make.

SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
People may try to meddle in your affairs or offer unwelcome advice. However, in your current mood you will be both reluctant to change your mind and resentful towards those who think they know better.

SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
You are on a path of self-improvement and in the weeks ahead will find a better balance in life. It may go against your natural instincts, but the stars favour taking one step small at a time.

CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
Try to be specific about what you want rather than expecting others to read your mind or leaving things to chance. Misunderstandings are par for the course at the moment and you must state your intentions clearly.

AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
You will be attracted to people who are young at heart, amusing, or have a healthy outlook on life. There is a strong element of fun in your horoscope that helps you discover your inner child.

PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
Rather than going to extremes or digging your heels in when feeling contrary, take a more conciliatory approach. There is a danger you will polarise the people around you and set back a relationship or cause.

YOUR DAY
There may be some bright Ideas tossed around, but the likelihood is many of them will be unrealistic or impractical. The planets point towards impulsiveness, ambiguity, and a tendency to make changes for change sake. Mercury provides an innovative edge, but there will be a lack of follow through or attention to detail. People may also be hard to pin down and easily bored.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
Hard work may be therapeutic in the months ahead and you will thrive on emotional challenges. There is a toughness about you that others admire and may try to emulate, but you will also be empathetic towards the less fortunate. Focus on financial matters and plan for a more secure future.
