ARIES

March 21-April 19

A lively mood defines the day, while connections and contacts may well add an interesting perspective. An exchange or an encounter with someone has the potential to develop into something stronger, although it is unlikely that romance will be involved. Give someone more of your time today!

TAURUS

April 20-May 20

A dynamic, but thoughtful mood and the wise words from someone close suggest that you'll start the New Year on a very positive and constructive note indeed. Perhaps you'll want to consider a new start in one key area of your life. The planets are backing you all the way; go for it!

GEMINI

May 21-June 20

It is likely to be a slow but happy day. For attached Twins, a warm and tender heart-to-heart could be very significant, while singles could also benefit from the loving influences, but only if they avoid trying to make a great impression. Be yourself; be natural, and let the planets do the rest!

CANCER

June 21-July 22

There's a slight danger of becoming a little too complacent today. Despite the glorious influences, you could find that you're beginning to take a particular situation or even a relationship for granted as the day wears on. It is also possible that a 'six of one; half a dozen of the other' scenario emerges by the evening!

LEO

July 23-Aug. 22

The planets, being all bunched up at the moment, will provide you with oodles of insight and focus today. So although the mood in general is a little flighty and certainly geared towards fun, it may be a good move to take some time to sit down and plan the changes you would most like to make!

VIRGO

Aug. 23-Sept. 22

Fabulous lunar influences at the start of the day zone in on useful decisions and choices, with some very loving intervals for attached Virgos too. However, rather 'stodgy' aspects later in the day may get you toning down your future plans a little too much. There's nothing wrong with being a little adventurous!

LIBRA

Sept. 23-Oct. 22

There are some smoldering influences about today, but there's also a slight inclination to focus on the material rather than the emotional. Balance is key, but the planets suggest that you should favor the emotional or romantic angle, and leave the practical changes for another day!

SCORPIO

Oct. 23-Nov. 21

It's more than possible that you'll be invited out by friends to join in an activity that you wouldn't normally consider. However, as much as you think you won't enjoy it you will! Even better there's a good chance that you could meet someone who turns out to be a romantic interest!

SAGITTARIUS

Nov. 22-Dec. 21

Your confidence will be restored today as the negative influence of yesterday disappears, and with it comes a new determination to improve your health or environment. It could be that you'd like to test a new diet, or perhaps join a gym, but do remember to be sensible with both your health and your money!

CAPRICORN

Dec. 22-Jan. 19

The various flittering influences suggest that you're in for an interesting and challenging day. There's definitely a new and very positive beginning on the horizon that will see you changing direction in one area of your life. Emotionally you should be feeling more settled by the evening!

AQUARIUS

Jan. 20-Feb. 18

Now would be a good time to start a new health regime, which incorporates a new diet and daily exercise. Not only will you feel more in control of your life again you'll also look fit for the summer too. You will need to exercise a lot of self control over the next few days though!

PISCES

Feb. 19-March 20

Cash matters look favorable today. With some quick and original thinking you could dream up a money-making scheme, or perhaps you'll spy an opportunity that provides a small win, so get a lottery ticket. However, if you do make any small gains, hold onto them for the time being!
