Pisces 19 February ~ 20 March

Tuck yourself quietly out of sight, preferably at home, and think about what changes you can make in your life that will bring you more emotional comfort over the next phase of your life. You want a reassuring nest which you can retreat to when the outside world gets too aggravating. If there have been any family rifts recently, this could just be the time to wipe the slate clean. Don't wait to be approached. Try to reach out and see where you can spread a little harmony around.

Aquarius 20 January ~ 18 February

If you have been stuck out of sight, and feeling ignored, you now have a real chance to get your glad rags on. Even if you have been socialising more than usual recently, you want to know how to keep that rolling for months to come. This is your day to allow a new facet of your personality shine out without apology. Most of us hide away parts of ourselves we think other might not approve. Ditch those inhibitions and just express who you are. The right people will respond very positively.

Capricorn 22 December ~ 19 January

Never was there a better day to start a new diet or exercise regime. You can probably muster up the willpower and you know you need to get yourself streamlined for the days ahead. So get going. You know this isn't the most glamorous time of the year at work for you, but it could just be the right circumstances for you to re-organise some of your methods. If you can find the discipline then you will find you clear up a good many tangles before they happen

Sagittarius 22 November ~ 21 December

This is the time to start afresh in close relationships. Let bygones be bygones. There could even be new romances round the corner for those unattached and on the lookout. There is no doubt that you need another half at the moment before you will feel secure in whatever you are doing at play or at work. Expect to be less self-sufficient and more adaptable to ensure that close partners are on your wavelength. You may have to give before you get, but it will be worth it.

Scorpio 23 October ~ 21 November

New joint financial ventures could begin now which may not seem very spectacular but they will pay off in future if you give them the right kind of push. You have to be sure of your facts before you move. Your feelings are probably more intense than usual. But maybe that tells you what you need to know about one intimate partnership. If you can lay your cards on the table, then you are likely to get better understandings in future

Libra 23 September ~ 22 October

Perhaps you are thinking of reaching out for the holiday brochures, or even of taking up a new hobby or interest. Ponder no longer. There are favourable winds behind you urging you on to broaden your horizons. This is the time of year you review your beliefs, whether it be to do with politics, religion, education or just your philosophy of living. Your outlook does not remain static throughout life. You constantly discard what no longer fits and take in new information which causes you to alter your approach

Virgo 23 August ~ 22 September

Nothing will distract you from the essentials. It may not be passionate or very exciting but you will accomplish a modest amount. Prevailing influences mean you cope admirably with practical situations. You may find that your emotional state could affect your physical well being, so you need to look to the state of your heart as well as looking after your body. Finding the right food to eat and not over-stressing yourself is important if you are to be as dutiful as you wish.

Leo 23 July ~ 22 August

There may be a casual encounter today with a new acquaintance. It may not seem important but they could turn into a good friend in future if you can make all the right noises. Make sure you know how to contact them again in a few days' time. All those new plans you have been mulling over in recent days can now be given a sensible push. You want to sort out your game plan for the next 12 months. But don't stop at thinking. Make a few decisions and put them into action.

Cancer 22 June ~ 22 July

You will have strong feelings which you are keeping firmly to yourself. Even close companions may find it difficult to know quite what runs below the surface in you at the moment. But you will sense that one old resentment you've been harbouring has finally been put to rest. You may not manage to get everything your own way but will have to negotiate a little to get fairer agreements. Stand steady until you reach a sensible compromise, then let go.

Gemini 21 May ~ 21 June

This is definitely your time to make good resolutions for your year ahead and further beyond. Decide how you want to change your image to match the person you want to become. Be bold and be yourself. Maybe you will feel more self-sufficient or even self-absorbed today but if you can't do that when the New Moon is in your sign, when can you? You will want to do anything which makes you feel the centre of attention, even if it is your own.

Taurus 20 April ~ 20 May

You are feeling like taking responsibility so you are ploughing ahead in good style. You will find more self-discipline than usual, and want to work hard. This in turn should rub off onto workmates who will pitch in with more enthusiasm as well. If you want more recognition or appreciation then the fast track there is to cater for the needs of those around you at work or out in the community. Be caring and kindly and you will get the compliments you desire

Aries 21 March ~ 19 April

Trying to manage your time better, streamline your efficiency and clear up communication muddles is a high priority. If you take steps early on you can prevent situations blowing up in future. Walk, don't run. Everyone around knows your heart is in the right place but they may not be entirely clear about what you are driving at, so try to collect your thoughts before you dash into discussions. You know you need to get more discipline into your schedules, and this could be the day to start.
