ARIES

March 21-April 19

Thanks to a thorny planetary influence, you could find that romance provides one or two more challenging moments. There's likely to be a little too much take and not enough give from one side, but all that's needed is a gentle prompt or reminder to calm the situation!

TAURUS

April 20-May 20

Unhelpful planetary influences suggest that you'll be feeling the need for some time and space to yourself today. Chances are that thoughts of a sociable and lively evening won't appeal; doing something that relaxes you completely and provides plenty of rest and recuperation time will!

GEMINI

May 21-June 20

Romance is looking excellent today, with you well and truly on top form. For singles the opportunity to dazzle someone you really quite admire should be seized with both hands, while attached Twins will find that their partners turn out to be in a very appreciative mood!

CANCER

June 21-July 22

With a definite sense of taste and style you can certainly afford to spend a couple of hours at the mall today. Invite a friend along; the more vibrant and fun-loving they are the better, because what you'll need today is a mood boost, which in turn will instill you with a little more confidence to branch out!

LEO

July 23-Aug. 22

Even if you can't see it yet, work or school is going your way. Plans and goals can be set in motion today, if you can shake off that slight feeling of pessimism. You'll be in a strong position to lay solid foundations for the future. Immediate results shouldn't be on the agenda: think long-term!

VIRGO

Aug. 23-Sept. 22

Thanks to the moon you should find that you experience a surge of positive energy, which bodes well for your personal relationships, especially romance. The only downside is that you could experience a minor clash with a peer or colleague over nothing! Don't allow yourself to get caught up in this!

LIBRA

Sept. 23-Oct. 22

Thorny influences may highlight some uncomfortable truths today. The spotlight will be on you, and the feeling that the buck stops with you will increase the sense of pressure. The potential to make it worse is there: a tendency to be impatient or irritable with others will need to be tempered!

SCORPIO

Oct. 23-Nov. 21

A string of glorious planetary aspects suggest that your hard work will finally pay off! Just don't ignore further openings or opportunities, because this set of aspects won't last forever. A chance to boost your income will be one such prospect; unexpected recognition or assistance will be another!

SAGITTARIUS

Nov. 22-Dec. 21

Your horoscope is almost the reverse of Libra's: a string of distracting influences suggests that you'll be tempted to pass the buck, duck the issue and sidestep any problems without addressing them. An invitation out or the prospect of a break in the routine won't help!

CAPRICORN

Dec. 22-Jan. 19

Nearly everything is looking fabulously positive, except for one thing; the planets are indicating a slight chill when it comes to romance or relationships. Singles should postpone any dates, while attached Goats might want to avoid any seriousness for today. Keep it light!

AQUARIUS

Jan. 20-Feb. 18

Slightly obstructive influences are likely to make work or school a bit of a chore today, and it will be as though you're wading through treacle. There are two ways to get around this, Aquarius: one is to accept some help; the other is to recognize your limitations. Proving a point will only generate extra work!

PISCES

Feb. 19-March 20

All in all you're likely to have a pretty wonderful day today. A surge of confidence will help you get around a work or school problem, and in the process you're likely to establish a welcome connection with someone who you previously thought was a little too pushy!
