ARIES

March 21-April 19

Freedom and go-getting are the key words for today. Go with the flow and if any exciting or unusual opportunities arise during the course of the day, then take them. Go somewhere different; explore, investigate and take in new sights. You'll be glad that you did!

TAURUS

April 20-May 20

A string of fun-generating influences suggest that you'll be in a very zany frame of mind and that you'll be in the mood to hit the mall. While cash matters are looking well-aspected, it has to be said that your sense of style won't be as sharp as it could be. With that in mind, stick to buying accessories rather than outfits!

GEMINI

May 21-June 20

Thanks to a string of playful lunar influences, you may find that any meaningful or serious discussions become quite tiresome, while at the same time a romantic issue may bubble up. Be prepared for some passionate moments today, but it may be hard work keeping the mood light!

CANCER

June 21-July 22

A brief but pesky lunar influence suggests that you're likely to be feeling a little fractious today. You might even be feeling that you need something to add a little zing or sparkle to the day, which you can achieve by doing something out of the ordinary. It's a good idea to avoid heavy discussions too!

LEO

July 23-Aug. 22

It's a mixed day. A relative perhaps says something that you don't really want to hear, but it's possible that they hit the nail on the head. There's certainly nothing to be lost by listening, and there's everything to gain. On the upside, romantic matters are still looking very promising!

VIRGO

Aug. 23-Sept. 22

If yesterday was hard work, then today should prove to be a lot easier. Take the opportunity to completely sort out any lingering dispute between you and a friend. However, romance may not be quite so predictable; misunderstandings and miscommunications could cause unnecessary tensions!

LIBRA

Sept. 23-Oct. 22

A cash-boost or a chance to improve your finances sets the tone, perhaps too much. Money matters may need to be kept in perspective, because the day has plenty more to offer. As with a couple of other signs the planetary theme is one of fun and adventure: live a little!

SCORPIO

Oct. 23-Nov. 21

Glorious lunar influences bring good news on two fronts: cash matters should improve as should your mood. You are likely to enjoy quite an extrovert streak. A trek to the mall may provide a great start to the weekend. Take a friend, preferably an earth sign, in case your taste gets too costly!

SAGITTARIUS

Nov. 22-Dec. 21

Intense and smoldering influences offset the heavier aspects and give you a much needed lift today. Your love of adventure and the spirit of fun should be restored from the start. Whether you're single or attached, this bodes well for your personal relationships, particularly romance!

CAPRICORN

Dec. 22-Jan. 19

If you're still recovering from what looked to be a demanding week then take a deep breath, because today is likely to be quite chaotic, but in a pleasant way. Matters of the heart should go a long way to restoring your mood and your flagging confidence levels. Just make sure that you get out and mingle!

AQUARIUS

Jan. 20-Feb. 18

Connections and contacts are particularly well favored today, thanks to fabulous and dynamic influences. This could impact on a business-related partnership or on a particular friendship. Whichever it is, there is certainly a chance to take this relationship to a new level!

PISCES

Feb. 19-March 20

Trips away, short journeys, and new places all look well aspected, thanks to the string of glorious influences. The only block to enjoying a wonderful day is a lack of motivation and an inclination to take it easy, but getting out and about will prove to be more invigorating than sitting in front of the TV!
