Aries Mar 21 – Apr 20

Ill health or an injury is dimming your outlook. Instead of pressing yourself to meet a deadline, take time off. Stop telling yourself you are indispensable. If you have a contagious sickness, your colleagues will seriously resent your presence at work. 0905 789 3701**

Taurus Apr 21 – May 21

A childish temper tantrum gets on your nerves.You don’t let moods affect your work. Confronting this emotionally immature colleague will make no difference. It will put unwanted strain on your relationship. Discuss the situation with your employer. 0905 789 3702**

Gemini May 22 – June 21

It’s possible your landlord will raise the rent or your home requires extensive repairs. The prospect of meeting these costs is deflating. Don’t make any decisions while you’re in this state of mind. It will be much easier when your spirits are high. 0905 789 3703**

Cancer June 22 – July 23

Beware of a tendency to give sarcastic responses to questions. People who are seeking answers to their dilemmas will be put off by your disdainful attitude. It’s only natural that outsiders will be unfamiliar with a situation you deal with daily. 0905 789 3704**

Leo July 24 – Aug 23

Fighting, stealing and dishonesty are poisoning your environment. You’re dealing with a group of haves and have nots. People who are struggling wouldn’t be so vindictive if they were treated with respect. Try setting a more dignified tone. 0905 789 3705**

Virgo Aug 24 – Sep 23

Don’t let an obnoxious, arrogant busybody get under your skin. Their irreverent jokes aren’t funny, yet everyone feels compelled to laugh. You detest this hypocrisy. Keep a straight face when you are subjected to this comedy routine. 0905 789 3706**

Libra Sep 24 – Oct 23

Do not get involved in an intrigue, no matter how tempting the prospect. Providing cover stories will implicate you in their deceit. If someone tries twisting your arm, reconsider your relationship. With friends like these, you don’t need enemies. 0905 789 3707**

Scorpio Oct 24 – Nov 22

Normally, you don’t care what others think of you. Now you realise how difficult it will be to realise your goals with little support. Instead of pushing your political and social opinions on others, steer clear of sensitive subjects altogether. 0905 789 3708**

Sagittarius Nov 23 – Dec 21

Don’t use unfair means to gain power and position. Accepting a plum position from a relative will undermine your effectiveness. It will cause others to view you with suspicion. You’re a highly accomplished person who can succeed in your own right. 0905 789 3709**

Capricorn Dec 22 – Jan 20

Although you want to overhaul an outmoded institution, you can’t condone violence or hatred. So many people are rightfully angry about their lot in life. It’s easy for them to turn a crusade for justice into a quest for revenge. 0905 789 3710**

Aquarius Jan 21 – Feb 19

Fighting over a group fund makes you unhappy. Walking away may be preferable to making demands. If you do decide to wash your hands of this affair, you should also avoid the people who created the problem in the first place. 0905 789 3711**

Pisces Feb 20 – Mar 20

A business or romantic partner is threatened by your family ties. You shouldn’t have to choose between these groups. Although it’s important to defend your choice of friends, you should also maintain loyalty to those you have known since childhood. 0905 789 3712**
