KEY POINTS:
ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
Your dark side surfaces and overshadows the naturally positive part of your personality. Try to rise above obsessive or sinister thoughts, even if it means putting on a friendly façade for others. You should also practice forgiveness.
TAURUS: (April
21 to May 21)
The whirlwind of activity catches you by surprise. However, rather than feeling out of your depth chances are you more likely to take pleasure in the variety. Switch on to the opportunities being presented to you.
GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
Shrewd thinking is your forte this week. Normally you translate thoughts quickly into words, but instinct now tells you to act furtively until all is ready. Give yourself a break from routine tasks and follow your own path.
CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
Group dynamics often intrigue you, especially as you read people sowell. Use perception to advantage and match your aims with those of like-minded colleagues. Praise will be forthcoming for a superior piece of work.
LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
A backhanded compliment is cold comfort for Leos. What you yearn for is unconditional admiration and for that reason alone you will work harder to win others over. Avoid being too tough on yourself today.
VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
Talking in riddles rather than being direct helps protect people's feelings. However it also leads to confusion and nobody knows where they stand. Try a more honest approach, especially when interacting with your loved ones.
LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
For Librans, harmony is crucial for good relationships. However rather than accepting tactless comments from others, you must challenge them and accept the consequences. It may make you squirm, but honesty is today's best policy
SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
Despite often taking one step forward and two back, progress has been steady. Now as planetary energy builds momentum, a leg-up from someone with power and influence gets you closer to a goal. Accept help graciously.
SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
Rather than moulding your personality or routine to suit others, act independently. Playing the role of mediator or minion may help keep the peace now, but will serve no useful purpose in the longer term.
CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
Finding outlets for your talent or energy is never easy. You view others as incompetent and prefer to perform tasks yourself rather than micro managing everyone around you. Without acting aloof, focus on your own challenges.
AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
If negative thoughts creep in, attempt to turn them around. Brooding is not an option today and being amongst people will keep your mind occupied and heart busy. Alternative viewpoints also help you remain buoyant.
PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
You may be touched by someone's generosity or will thrive on the extra attention from loved ones. Current planetary influences bring about pleasant encounters and help lighten your load after weeks or months of feeling burdened.
YOUR DAY
People could be inclined to muddle along today. There are too many inconsistencies in the planetary mix and a tendency to flip-flop may see decisions made and reversed. Pay attention to detail and personal ambition, but avoid making long-term commitments until early next week.
YOUR BIRTHDAY
This year's difficulties fade as 2007 approaches. Not only will external circumstances change, but also there is also more good fortune and freedom forecast. Travel for pleasure looks likely, while a new interest or relationship engages heart and mind from July onwards.
