ARIES

March 21-April 19

It's a day of ups and downs, thanks to particular influences. Your workload is likely to increase, forcing you to put a certain plan on hold. On the positive side though useful aspects indicate a new link with somewhere other than home will be within reach from today, making the weekend look that little bit more exciting!

TAURUS

April 20-May 20

If there is a touch of the morning after the night before, then use today's demanding influences to maybe introduce a temporary but strict health regimen. Cut out the things that are bad for you; think healthy eating; incorporate some moderate exercise into your plan. Resist further excesses this evening!

GEMINI

May 21-June 20

Broadening your horizons and notions of travel are actually well aspected. However, prickly planetary influences suggest that today, you may not feel confident enough to implement or embrace what could be very beneficial changes in the work/school place. Perhaps someone's well-meaning advice should be ignored!

CANCER

June 21-July 22

Some minor disruptions and hold-ups to your routine are highly likely today, thanks to a particular planetary formation. Usually you're an adaptable sign, but any little mishaps are likely to rattle you. Maintaining a level-headed attitude works best, while moody responses should be avoided!

LEO

July 23-Aug. 22

The planets are likely to zone in on material matters and sources of support today. You might be inclined to overspend your hard earned cash on things that you can always buy when money is looking stronger. If you find it impossible to resist temptation, then leave your wallet at home and avoid the mall!

VIRGO

Aug. 23-Sept. 22

Oh dear; an unhelpful planetary formation is likely to put unnecessary pressure on a particular relationship today. This will not be a good day for making any important romantic decisions; postpone any long, heavy talks for another day and reschedule any hot dates!

LIBRA

Sept. 23-Oct. 22

While the tricky planetary aspect shouldn't affect you so much it will have an agitating effect on those around you. Perhaps you'll find yourself stuck in the middle of a minor dispute or disagreement. Inwardly you may well heartily agree with one side, but outwardly it's best if you appear neutral!

SCORPIO

Oct. 23-Nov. 21

The unhelpful planetary formation shouldn't impact on you too much today, thanks to someone close! You might need to rethink a plan or idea, but the necessary amendments will benefit you in the long run. The only blot on the landscape is a slight insensitivity, which may have you saying something you later want to retract!

SAGITTARIUS

Nov. 22-Dec. 21

The intensity of the lunar influences indicates a need to tread a little softly today. You'll have some great ideas, and you'll have a renewed sense of fun, but your intuition won't be so reliable when it comes to sensing other people's moods. Perhaps it'll be best to keep your head down!

CAPRICORN

Dec. 22-Jan. 19

You're likely to have a bit of a challenging day today, and this won't be helped by the prickly planetary formation. The main cause of this minor headache will be a few communication errors, but there's also a tendency to take someone for granted: someone who could actually make the day a little easier!

AQUARIUS

Jan. 20-Feb. 18

Today's prickly planets continue to impact on your social zone, but in a less constructive way. You'll be brilliant at talking and debating, but you'll be less inclined to hear what's being said, and these minor oversights could lead to misunderstandings or even slight tension!

PISCES

Feb. 19-March 20

Today's challenging influences could either be a blessing or a drain, depending on your approach. If you're willing to hold your hands up and take responsibility for a minor error you should find that you start to see someone in a new and more positive light. Optimism will be your greatest asset today!
