ARIES (March 21-April 19): It will be a wonderful start to the weekend for you, with an emphasis on your social zone.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): There could be a clash of interests between your friends and your love life. Both these areas will be under strong planetary influences, and it could be that some quick, creative thinking on your part will solve the dilemma, as long as you stay focused. A slip of the tongue can be corrected, though!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Beware of pushing your opinions onto other people: the mainly positive influence of the moon could create a slight communication problem for you, which you can avoid by paying attention to what is said. Otherwise you could miss something of importance in a chance comment!

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Certain negative influences, which are likely to impact on your general nature, could have you focusing too much on the material things in life. However, buying things isn’t going to make you feel happier today, whereas some time out with less seriously minded types will!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): After a few days of feeling thoughtful and/or sensible, today will bring back your usual feisty approach to the world. Perhaps someone has been less than friendly lately; maybe someone has been a little too critical. It’s certainly a day to broach lingering problems, but do it gently!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You are skilled at adapting to any changes that come your way, which should come in useful later in the day. You are probably in the mood for a quiet evening, but something will happen around lunchtime that will change all that. Make sure that you have cleared your ‘to-do’ list!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): There are a number of positive romantic energies around, which is excellent news for relationships. Trust in your intuition today when it comes to affairs of the heart and you will end the day a very happy individual. The planets indicate that something is currently waiting in the wings!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The sensible aspects that have been responsible for your financial well-being will morph into slightly more reckless ones today. This suggests that you will need to be more careful when it comes to money matters. Plan any shopping sprees with great care and do impose spending limits!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Romance is in the air for you and this positive influence is likely to last throughout the day. You’ll be drawn to like- minded types and there is a good chance that you will meet someone who shares your interests this evening. A close friend may also have a surprising and exciting revelation!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Two positive aspects could make today a rather interesting day for you. The influences will have you delving beneath the surface in more ways than one, but think before you share your findings with anyone, because the planets are urging you towards discretion at the moment!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): A certain challenging vibe from Venus suggests that you could be a little demanding with your loved ones. Torn between the need to feel pampered and the need to assert your freedom could cause some confusion. Be honest in what you want in order to avoid friction!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You’ll want to shine out, be noticed and grab plenty of attention, and since it’s the weekend you should get plenty of opportunities. On top of this you’ll be quite a powerful personality and you’ll be in a position to steer someone through a particularly tricky problem!

FOR THOSE OF US BORN ON THIS DAY: Happy Birthday! The year ahead may at times seem like an uphill climb but it will be worth the effort as when you reach the top the sense of achievement will be great. In career terms this is an ideal year for making major changes and following your dreams rather than what might seem safe and sensible. Emotionally, things will be difficult in the Summer months, but if your persevere there are signs of a deeply satisfying relationship ahead. As winter sets in, this new relationship will take up most of your time and be the source of great happiness!

CELEBRITY GOSSIP: Vanessa Hudgens is hoping that taking the starring role in a Broadway production of Gigi will do wonders for her movie prospects. The planets suggest that this is unlikely to happen, but they also indicate that a Vanessa is about to encounter a significant life-event that may well completely change her chosen direction in life!
