ARIES

March 21-April 19

There's a noticeable surge of fire energy and beaming lunar influences today. Any listlessness that you felt yesterday should disappear altogether, perhaps too much, because you're likely to come up fighting, even if there's nothing to battle! Slow down and calm down!

TAURUS

April 20-May 20

The morning is far more efficient than the afternoon, when unreliable influences may rock the cart. An inclination to be a little too controlling may still linger from yesterday. Count to ten before speaking; a tactful, moderate manner will get you through. Shopping sprees are best postponed!

GEMINI

May 21-June 20

The day may seem to progress in a slow and lumbering way. Work might seem like a drag, especially if you're not in control of how events develop. Seizing control is inadvisable; biding your time will be much more constructive. By tomorrow, someone should be willing to listen at last!

CANCER

June 21-July 22

Flitting influences will give rise to flitting tensions: just as one problem is sorted another may develop. Keep your wits about you, Cancer; assume a plodding pace, don't get rattled, and remember that the thoughtful tortoise usually beats the hasty hare in the long run!

LEO

July 23-Aug. 22

Slightly selfish influences may have you behaving out of character today. Air and Fire are not a good mix: just as one fuels the other, so a well-meaning friend could fuel your selfishness. Look around: be ready to offer help or support; consider volunteering a couple of hours to a local charity!

VIRGO

Aug. 23-Sept. 22

Yesterday's uncertainties may drift into today, although you'll feel disinclined to rely too heavily on others, no matter how tangled your thoughts. Perhaps you need to demonstrate that you are a strong person; maybe you need to reassert yourself, but don't knock back a kind offer of help just because of pride!

LIBRA

Sept. 23-Oct. 22

It is not your best day: a rather contradictory, slightly irritable mood could descend, and boredom could kick in. Don't be tempted to try and instill some excitement into the day. In your current mood it could backfire by the evening, when unruly influences move in. Tomorrow brings a breath of fresh air!

SCORPIO

Oct. 23-Nov. 21

Try to avoid spending any money today, if possible. Although cash matters should improve enough to ease yesterday's pressure, distracting influences this evening could have you all over the place and could set you back to square one when it comes to your finances!

SAGITTARIUS

Nov. 22-Dec. 21

Pesky aspects are likely to impact on your personal relationships today, making you appear a little distant or cold to your nearest and dearest. If you need some space then be tactful in how you request it. It might be best to postpone any hot dates and tender moments for today!

CAPRICORN

Dec. 22-Jan. 19

Don't be too surprised if even the simplest decision becomes that little bit harder to achieve today, and don't get too knotted up if a complicated or important decision seems impossible. The aspect causing this will shift tomorrow. But for peace of mind avoid any financial transactions or agreements!

AQUARIUS

Jan. 20-Feb. 18

Communications aren't particularly well aspected today, with mix- ups; errors and a few crossed-wires being more than likely, especially when it comes to matters of the heart. Don't jump to conclusions; don't be too hasty to react, and avoid making any important decisions if possible!

PISCES

Feb. 19-March 20

Don't be too concerned by what may be a slow and patchy day; you'll get through it! Pesky lunar aspects may create some minor, but rather irritating interruptions. As with Cancer the Crab you just need to shrug your shoulders and get on with it. Besides, the late evening may bring a nice surprise!
