ARIES

March 21-April 19

You could find that you overestimate your own energy levels, thanks to tense planetary influences. It's not a day where you can have your cake and eat it too. Maybe you need to stop yourself from blurting things out, and watch what you volunteer yourself for, especially at work or school!

TAURUS

April 20-May 20

There is a hint in today's planets that you may be inclined towards rather selfish behavior, either with a close friend, or with your romantic other! It's not a good day to renege on promises, no matter what your mood. If you need space, then it's best to fulfill your obligations first!

GEMINI

May 21-June 20

The evening's influences should perk up what could be a dull or even rather thankless day. Livelier aspects inject a sense of mischievous fun into the later hours, when you can let your hair down a little; socialize and spend time with others. Romance is the only area that could go a little off the boil!

CANCER

June 21-July 22

Heavy influences are likely to sap all the fun out of the day today, and it is possible that your mood will be slump no end over a particular work or school matter. It might be easier to throw the towel in over this matter, but the planets suggest you face it head on instead!

LEO

July 23-Aug. 22

Today will be a calmer, more settled day, perhaps too settled. It's a perfect time to catch up on any outstanding deadlines and chores. If this sounds too boring for words, then hold onto the fact that tomorrow's planets are sizzling with possibility and potential. Clear that in-tray, Leo!

VIRGO

Aug. 23-Sept. 22

Your horoscope is almost the reverse of Leo's, in that you won't need telling twice to get on with it. Your motivation levels will impressive; work or school benefits, but don't let the day be eaten up with work; work; work. Take some time out to relax. Take a leaf out of Gemini's book and chill!

LIBRA

Sept. 23-Oct. 22

There's perhaps a touch of frost in the air. It may be that you experience the aftermath of a minor letdown. Alternatively it could be that you're the one who hasn't delivered. This is less likely to be a result of a disagreement and more likely to be traced back to muddled or vague communications!

SCORPIO

Oct. 23-Nov. 21

A string of rather heavy lunar aspects may have you struggling to keep ahead today. You might believe that it's possible to keep everyone happy, but this may be easier said than done. Be wary of making outright promises; stick rigidly to what you can do and no more!

SAGITTARIUS

Nov. 22-Dec. 21

Communications may turn a little frosty today. There's a sense of stalemate in the air. What you want isn't likely to coincide with what someone else is expecting. Minor clashes can easily be avoided if you're prepared to admit that maybe you were in the wrong!

CAPRICORN

Dec. 22-Jan. 19

You might need to keep things light. Little mishaps shouldn't be too problematic, but you may be lacking the necessary patience to see things through. A desire to see swift and immediate results will be counterproductive. The motto you should keep telling yourself is: 'all good things come to those who wait!'

AQUARIUS

Jan. 20-Feb. 18

You could find that you're torn between two opposing options: if you follow your heart, then you may be inclined to strike out on your own. If you follow your head, then you'll want to perhaps hold off and assess the situation before taking any action. The second option is the safest by far!

PISCES

Feb. 19-March 20

Ideas come more easily, although a couple of less than helpful lunar influences point to a lack of conviction or a slightly dithery mood. It might be that you feel the timing isn't quite right. It's true that tomorrow offers a vast improvement, but the planets suggest that someone will be listening today!
