ARIES

March 21-April 19

Welcome planetary changes add some much needed zing and zest to your routine. New interests are more likely to inspire you, as is a little healthy competition. You should also experience a surge of creative energy, so why not look for a short-story completion, get writing, and submit your efforts!

TAURUS

April 20-May 20

Home becomes the focus, thanks to planetary shifts, and you might find that it is quite important to you to have your uninterrupted space that is definitely off-limits to everyone else. It might also be useful to have a clear-out, because for the next few weeks you're likely to become quite a hoarder!

GEMINI

May 21-June 20

Communications are likely to become quite intense from today. Planetary transits are likely to have a slightly negative impact, in that your natural finesse and subtlety may be blunted somewhat. On the up side, though, is that your levels of persuasion will be vastly improved!

CANCER

June 21-July 22

You are likely to notice the not-so-subtle planetary shifts from today, as cash matters become a little haphazard. You'll be less inclined to stick to sensible budgets, and you'll be more tempted than usual to dive into your savings. However, these planetary shifts will bring out your entrepreneurial side too!

LEO

July 23-Aug. 22

Today's planetary shifts are likely to be like a breath of fresh air as they boost your confidence, while glorious influences are likely to give you the upper hand over a matter that requires a more long-term view. Romance may be smoldering in the wings, but don't wear your heart on your sleeve!

VIRGO

Aug. 23-Sept. 22

As with Aries you are likely to experience a surge of creative energy, thanks to intense planetary changes. In addition, your imagination will be working overtime too, so just like Aries consider taking up an expressive new hobby or activity that allows you to develop hidden talents!

LIBRA

Sept. 23-Oct. 22

Yesterday's negative influences will reverse into today's positives. For you today's planetary shifts bode extremely well for your personal relationships: contacts, connections, and bonding are very well aspected today, and there's a definite emphasis on romance!

SCORPIO

Oct. 23-Nov. 21

It's highly likely that a more daring or bold approach at work or school will pay dividends from today. Your Scorpio nature should stop you from being too reckless, but you'll still be oozing confidence when it matters, thanks to planetary shifts. Today, a reliable friend will provide some useful insight!

SAGITTARIUS

Nov. 22-Dec. 21

The time pressures you experienced yesterday should ease significantly today, thanks to planetary shifts, and because it's nearly the weekend there's even a chance that you'll be able to get away from it all, in the form of a mini-break. Keep your eyes and ears open to the possibilities on offer!

CAPRICORN

Dec. 22-Jan. 19

Planetary shifts will enable you to make the most of any opportunities coming your way. If you're looking for inspiration over future career plans then today's the day when you should get a flash of insight. For some Capricorns there's a hint of a promotion or even a change of job!

AQUARIUS

Jan. 20-Feb. 18

Thanks to dynamic planetary shifts, you should find that romantic matters are reignited again. The communication lines should open up fully, which will give you and someone close to a chance to smooth over any unintentional misunderstandings! For some Aquarians a meeting is in the stars!

PISCES

Feb. 19-March 20

If yesterday threw up a few too many obstacles and frustrations, then today's planetary shifts should force a U-turn on that. Even with a pesky lunar aspect slowing you down, you should find that you get the support and backing that you need. An evening out will end the day perfectly!
