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.
