Aries Mar 21 – Apr 20

There are more important things than commanding the spotlight. Being on an equal footing with someone who loves you is far more rewarding. People at work are invested in boosting your ego. Your friends and relatives aren’t under this obligation. 0905 789 3701**

Taurus Apr 21 – May 21

You’re intent on doing things your way. The crowd is against you. It’s better to give in graciously than to act like a dictator. You will be pleasantly surprised with how well things go. That’s because you underestimated your colleagues’ abilities. 0905 789 3702**

Gemini May 22 – June 21

You’re a free spirit who doesn’t like being reined in by a controlling partner. If you’re tired of constant surveillance, break things off.You deserve to be with someone who trusts you. If you’ve gone overboard with flirting, rein it in. 0905 789 3703**

Cancer June 22 – July 23

A power struggle is coming, resistance is futile. If your amour has been opposing a career move, you have an important decision to make. What is more important, your relationship or your job? Think carefully before you answer. 0905 789 3704**

Leo July 24 – Aug 23

Getting bogged down in petty details will result in a lost opportunity. Keep the big picture in mind at all times. When you encounter obstacles, don’t panic. You’ll find a way around these obstructions as you stay positive when others declare defeat. 0905 789 3705**

Virgo Aug 24 – Sep 23

It will be difficult to resist the charm of an alluring person. If you’re in a serious relationship, don’t jeopardise it for the sake of an exciting fling. Even if your partner doesn’t discover your betrayal, it will make you feel terrible. 0905 789 3706**

Libra Sep 24 – Oct 23

Childhood pain is being conjured up. Prepare to cope with some upsetting memories. Someone who mistreated you is affecting your outlook. Instead of giving them continual power, make a fresh start. Surround yourself with people who love you. 0905 789 3707**

Scorpio Oct 24 – Nov 22

Trying to maintain control of a wild situation is pointless. It’s better to let the chips fall where they may. Once the dust settles, you can formulate a plan for achieving independence. It will take time for the excitement to die down, so be patient. 0905 789 3708**

Sagittarius Nov 23 – Dec 21

Be more discerning about the company you keep. Friends who always give backhanded compliments and relatives that denigrate you have no place in your social circle. Don’t feel compelled to return calls to someone who makes you miserable. 0905 789 3709**

Capricorn Dec 22 – Jan 20

Working around the clock is becoming a game of diminishing returns. It’s time to enjoy the fruits of your labour. Taking a holiday will be enlightening as you’ll be able to get a better sense of what you need to thrive. 0905 789 3710**

Aquarius Jan 21 – Feb 19

You’re not sure if you have taken the right path. Instead of panicking, slow down and be receptive. Even if you’ve made a mistake, you will learn from this error. Stop listening to your inner critic. Tune into your heart instead. 0905 789 3711**

Pisces Feb 20 – Mar 20

Someone is using you to get ahead. Be wary about the company you keep.You won’t be able to stay away entirely from colleagues, neighbours and team members. That’s why you should be on the alert when you’re in mixed company. 0905 789 3712**
