ARIES

March 21-April 19

Today's planets reverse yesterday's trend: the morning is off- beam, while the afternoon and the evening have the potential to become very interesting when it comes to romantic matters. However, despite all the possible distractions there is an indication of a welcome break-through at work!

TAURUS

April 20-May 20

Flitting planetary influences could have you almost writing the day off by lunch time, thanks to challenging influences, but hang in there, because after lunch the mood should change significantly. Help from unexpected quarters or a chance comment is likely to make all the difference!

GEMINI

May 21-June 20

It may be a case of having to slow down, pause, and think twice throughout much of the day. Prickly influences, which will be at their worst by around lunchtime, are likely to cause minor upsets in your personal relationships. Speaking candidly will not help soothe troubled waters!

CANCER

June 21-July 22

The day is split into two distinct halves: the first half looks time-pressured and pretty unproductive, thanks to irritating influences, while the late afternoon sees a work-based matter or problem being either resolved, or downgraded. Keeping your cool is essential today!

LEO

July 23-Aug. 22

Shifting lunar influences should ease the pressure on cash matters today. This isn't to suggest that you're in for a windfall, but there is a chance of either recouping recent losses, or of making a few extra bucks. However, a draining work- related matter might prevent you from taking advantage of this potential gain!

VIRGO

Aug. 23-Sept. 22

Like a lot of signs your afternoon is easier than your morning, which brings quite dithery and scatterbrained influences. It could be that someone close to you gets a little exasperated with your lack of efficiency, but it's more likely that you get completely exasperated with yourself!

LIBRA

Sept. 23-Oct. 22

Somber influences may get you thinking hard about something that shouldn't really take up even a second of your time. Getting nostalgic or hankering after something that's long gone will be counter-productive. Focus on the here-and-now; don't dwell on the ifs-and-maybes!

SCORPIO

Oct. 23-Nov. 21

Cash matters and financial transactions feature today. The morning may bring some good news, but as the day progresses you will need to either keep an eye on any spending, or more importantly, be on your guard for any hidden costs! It is perhaps a day to avoid the mall altogether!

SAGITTARIUS

Nov. 22-Dec. 21

It could turn out to be one of those strange, vaguely unsatisfying days, where nothing really goes wrong as such, but niggling little mishaps or irritating exchanges with your nearest and dearest will strain and drain your energy. Make the evening your own time to chill and recuperate!

CAPRICORN

Dec. 22-Jan. 19

You are likely to be your own worst critic today. Perhaps the targets you set or the aims you establish are just too much. It could be that you feel as though someone is applying indirect pressure for you to come up the goods. However, it could be, as with Virgo, that you're being too hard on yourself!

AQUARIUS

Jan. 20-Feb. 18

Your horoscope is almost the reverse of Scorpio's, in that any bad news relating to your finances will become apparent earlier rather than later. Statements and invoices should be double- checked for accuracy, because you can't rule out silly errors. Even so, it's best that you avoid spending any more for today!

PISCES

Feb. 19-March 20

The start of the day is likely to test your patience, thanks to thorny lunar influences; it could be that you have to rethink your plans for the day, but don't worry, because the pace will soon ease up. A revelation later in the day could be exactly what you've been looking for!
