KEY POINTS:
ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
Factor in a contingency plan as events could go awry. Your deft handling of people remains solidly intact but outside forces play havoc with at the most inopportune times. You cannot control everything so keep calm.
TAURUS:
(April 21 to May 21)
Moon in the realm of the unknown encourages you to take adventurous risks. Let your hair down in social situations and surprise colleagues with your left-field ideas. You should also expect the unexpected today.
GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
If heart and head are in conflict, listen to your inner voice. Logic puts you on the right path and detachment allows you to make objective decisions. Ruling Mercury gives you an unusual turn of phrase.
CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
Put a different slant on subjects today. Unexpected twists and turns call for flexible thinking, while people outside your usual circle offer interesting ideas. The pieces of puzzle slowly fall into place as the week progresses.
LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
Attention is drawn to subject matter outside your area of expertise. Curiosity compels you to investigate further and ultimately a whole new dimension opens up. Along similar lines, one of your relationships takes a curious turn.
VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
You are on the case and eager resolve an issue. Expect kudos to come from all quarters today, as you impress people with your uncanny problem-solving ability. You can afford to feel a little smug.
LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
Changes take adjustment but eventually life gets back on an even keel. Despite a reluctance to vary your approach or routine, in retrospect it might be the best thing that has happened for a while.
SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
Despite the points of difference that arise, you enjoy the banter. In fact, if you open your mind to a variety of possibilities a golden opportunity could slot into place. Family members remain your lifeline.
SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
Marching to the beat of a different drum puts you out of favour. However you are happier being the oddball and might even convert a few critics. Those with a narrow view of life frustrate you today.
CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
A dynamic work ethic sets you apart. Not all of your efforts bring tangible reward but a sense of satisfaction is enough in most cases. You accept that not everyone possesses your powers of endurance.
AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
Someone who is a breath of fresh air renews your lust for life. This person challenges you mentally or is physically attractive and mutual admiration quickly builds. Be wary of leaving someone else out in the cold.
PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
Neurotic tendencies have you looking over your shoulder. Most of your fears are unfounded but at least trouble is nipped in the bud. In contrast, some of your ideas turn out nothing short of brilliant.
YOUR DAY
An air of detachment gives a false impression of disinterest. Cool responses and aloof behaviour can be blamed on the unemotional energies at work today. Once trust is earned and given it will doubtless be followed by undying loyalty. Life should be viewed through objective eyes.
YOUR BIRTHDAY
Think twice before signing on for the long-term. Destiny is steering you in a certain direction but it could be November before all is revealed. In the meantime work out exactly what is necessary in your life and what is superfluous.
