ARIES

March 21-April 19

Indirect but prickly influences are likely to bring a minor but irritating problem to a head, thanks to a chance comment or a highly perceptive friend. Someone's definitely on your side today; all you need to do is keep your cool, stick to the facts and hear what is being said!

TAURUS

April 20-May 20

It might be wise not to rely on anyone today, because the shifting planetary influences suggest that someone may end up being a bit of a let-down. Hints of minor disappointments are also present, but the aspects causing this will ease dramatically in a couple of days!

GEMINI

May 21-June 20

Chilly influences are certainly counterproductive. It might be that you'll need to put your own needs on hold. Brushing off someone's concerns or doubts won't be the way to go today. Instead be charitable with your time and be sympathetic, even if the problem to you seems very unimportant!

CANCER

June 21-July 22

Don't be surprised if you wake up with a definite feeling that you want to have everything in apple-pie order. The driving force behind this is the sun/moon aspect, which shifts tomorrow, but it might be a good idea to take advantage of this organized mood and glance through your finances!

LEO

July 23-Aug. 22

Today's chilly, restrained influences should be an absolute asset. Be prepared to rein in those less positive fiery traits. Today is likely to require a disciplined or strict approach. Being flighty and taking unnecessary risks isn't likely to be appreciated by those around you. Be sensitive to others' moods!

VIRGO

Aug. 23-Sept. 22

There is so much potential for the day, but your energies are likely to feel completely scattered. Fraught influences may even have you speaking out of turn, or reacting quite abrasively. If today begins to feel like hard slog, then blame the planets rather than a specific individual!

LIBRA

Sept. 23-Oct. 22

Distinctly chilly lunar influences zone in on romance and relationships. Balance is the key word for you today, whether you're single or attached. Perhaps you'll feel that you're getting the brush-off from someone, when in fact, all that is needed is a little mutual space!

SCORPIO

Oct. 23-Nov. 21

The energies of today's erratic influences could become apparent in a resurfacing of a past or forgotten issue. You might feel that it's not worth addressing, but the planets suggest it most definitely is. A sincere heart-to-heart will help to put this matter firmly back into perspective!

SAGITTARIUS

Nov. 22-Dec. 21

Questions, answers, facts, and information are all likely to get quite complicated and muddled today, thanks to the lunar influences. Don't take things at face value and do double check your communications. Your inner voice will be finely tuned, so be guided by it!

CAPRICORN

Dec. 22-Jan. 19

As with most signs, today's negative slump is temporary. Keep this in mind throughout the day: work or school matters could cause a certain amount of angst and worry. It might be that you need to branch out in your way of thinking, so don't let a lack of confidence hold you back!

AQUARIUS

Jan. 20-Feb. 18

Whatever you do today you should steer clear of the mall and avoid using your cards today. A string of overly cautious or frumpy influences is likely to impact on your sense of style. It's possible that you'll end up buying something that is just so not you. Wait a couple of days for this to pass!

PISCES

Feb. 19-March 20

Today could be a peculiar day: what you want to do and what you feel obliged to do could clash. Be a little noble; put aside what you want to do in favor of what you know in your heart you should be doing. Bear in mind that you'll see definite improvements by the weekend!
