PISCES February 20 – March 20

Someone’s unusual attitude to work or money needn’t keep you awake at night. But once you start noticing what’s going on you’ll wonder whether you should offer some advice. Take care because you won’t want to be perceived as a busybody. If you’re going to help, it has to be done in the most subtle way possible.

Mantra of the month Fire is a good servant but a poor master.

ARIES March 21 – April 20

The surprising approach you take to your private or professional life will leave others confused but you know what you’re doing. Now, the cosmos is reminding you that you have a low boredom threshold and you’ll benefit enormously from the unexpected.

Mantra of the month Wisdom is scar tissue in disguise.

TAURUS April 21 – May 21

People may try to persuade you to steer clear of a particular activity, but your sixth sense will keep telling you there’s much to be gained. It would be a pity however if you were to jeopardise one or two relationships. Be careful.

Mantra of the month One lamp can’t light two houses.

GEMINI May 22 – June 21

Others struggle to understand how you’ve gathered so much valuable information about property or finances. Pluto’s run-in with Uranus forces you to be far more resourceful. Put this to the best possible use. You deserve rewards coming your way.

Mantra of the month We often regret our speech but rarely our silence.

CANCER June 22 – July 23

Use the first part of the month to tie up plans that have been hanging around for too long. From around March 20 your track record will be scrutinised by influential people and you won’t want to appear lazy or disorganised.

Mantra of the month A guilty conscience needs no accuser.

LEO July 24 – August 23

Jupiter’s tie-up with Uranus early in March could establish intriguing encounters. It may be tempting to abandon everyday aspects of life, but that would be a mistake. You must handle ongoing situations while integrating exciting new things into life.

Mantra of the month The real winner is the one who refuses to fight.

VIRGO August 24 – September 23

No matter how much you’re enjoying what a close partnership has to offer, you must also show interest in other, rather different, relationships. They could prove to be an investment. Just make sure you’re not getting drawn into a moral maze.

Mantra of the month Better to turn back halfway than lose yourself.

LIBRA September 24 – October 23

Work coming your way in March should bring rewards and recognition. Listen to loved ones suggesting you’re being underpaid or taken for granted. They might not be right, but even so this could be the time to check facts.

Mantra of the month To love and be loved is to feel the sun from both sides.

SCORPIO October 24 – November 22

Initially you might see an off-duty or romantic episode as rather disappointing. But you’ll recognise its long-term benefits by the time of the Solar Eclipse on March 20. Take no notice of those who think you’ve lost a lot and gained very little. They can’t possibly know what you know.

Mantra of the month Fair play’s a jewel.

SAGITTARIUS November 23 – December 21

Relief washes over you as a complicated project nears completion. Refuse to become near-obsessed with odd little details that aren’t quite right, and don’t point the finger of blame at people who’ve tried everything to get things done to a very high standard.

Mantra of the month Those who have free seats to the play are the first to boo.

CAPRICORN December 22 – January 20

It must have been hard to see a tricky situation from the point of view of loved ones. However, by mid-March, when Pluto challenges Uranus you will have a much better grasp of what’s going on. You’ll realise how crucial it is to offer support.

Mantra of the month Hunger finds no fault with the cook.

AQUARIUS January 21 – February 19

If a joint plan is to succeed, it’s essential to trust those involved. Ignore gossip designed to discredit somebody you want on your team. Troublemakers need to see it’s a waste of time trying to influence decisions you’re making; a U-turn is out of the question.

Mantra of the month Your head never aches while you’re comforting another.
