ASTROLOGER TANYA OBREZA ON WHAT’S IN THE STARS THIS MONTH.

STAR OF THE MONTH

PISCES 19 FEBRUARY – 20 MARCH At last, Pisces! Here's a year that holds the promise of success. So when unexpected offers come in, you'll be keen to take advantage. Your optimism and determination also make a powerful package, and any new study will give you the substance to follow through. By July, prosperity surrounds your home and family - care of a timely bonus or good fortune. The sale or purchase of property could also help to increase wealth. Meanwhile, love interests also flourish. Singles are offered more choice - couples become more intimate. Make room in your diary for a trip for two.

GEMINI 21 MAY – 21 JUNE Gather your talents and prepare for career commitments, Gemini. Whether it's a new job or starting a business, you're capable of handling anything. Just remember to enjoy the moment. March carries considerable energy, so there's also time for play. Make the most of invitations, but for couples - a partner must offer you independence. As for finances: work harder to spend harder.

CANCER 22 JUNE – 22 JULY Sometimes the best form of defence is attack. Even so, you could be opting for overkill this month. Sure, be assertive if others are out to undermine you, but what they're saying can't all be wrong. Compromise is the key. Solitude, meditation, reflection: these are the things that would benefit you most. Your talents haven't been forgotten - plans for your moment of glory are underway.

LEO 23 JULY – 22 AUGUST While half of the zodiac might be ready to selfdestruct, that doesn't mean you have to join the queue. Most problems arise through no one's willingness to back off, so it's up to you to lead by example. It's just a case of powering into top gear and crashing through any self-doubts. Meanwhile, a very friendly Venus is networking on your behalf - so make the most of new introductions.

ARIES 21 MARCH – 20 APRIL March sends a tremble through your sector of secrets, hinting at hidden romance. Should the affair go public, it's good news for some - disastrous for others. Singles have a better time of it. But whether single or settled, this month finds you in the mood to spend. At work, you attract influential company. A temptation to mix business with pleasure, perhaps? It's your call.

TAURUS 21 APRIL – 20 MAY So many areas of your life have been left simmering, with your career also in the melting pot. Take heart. March encourages physical, mental and spiritual renewal - this time, with you as an active contributor. Many outworn habits and attitudes have to go. And when feeling this vibrant, it stands to reason that your sexual magnetism is at its full strength. Embrace life, and it will love you back. VIRGO 23 AUGUST – 22 SEPTEMBER Logic and instinct have had their differences lately, but they finally reach a truce, resulting in peace of mind. Many Virgos find themselves in an emotional state of grace, bordering on spiritual ascendancy. Friends and family could have something special in store for you, so trust them. But as old habits die hard, trusting someone else's plans may take getting used to. Succumb and enjoy.

LIBRA 23 SEPTEMBER – 22 OCTOBER Many people believe the more you do, the more you get to do. Over the next year, the cosmos rewards many of your previous efforts. You'll be super busy, but should the unexpected happen - don't fight it. You've been waiting for something big to happen and, finally, Jupiter creates new business opportunities. Planetary influence also steps up the social pace. What follows could be lasting love or friendship. SCORPIO 23 OCTOBER – 21 NOVEMBER Often, life's chaos distracts us. We're forever planning for the future, forgetting that in order to manifest what we want - we must live in the present. Of course, it's worry that usually clouds our judgement. March reminds you not to fret. Mostly, you have all you need, and you're moving in the right direction. Everything will fall into place soon enough as past struggles are replaced by growing optimism and fun.

SAGITTARIUS 22 NOVEMBER – 21 DECEMBER Feeling confident? Great, because you now finally get to call the shots. No matter what mayhem the cosmos creates for the rest of us this month, most Sagittarians should have fun, achieve an important ambition or rise over any opposition. But not without some effort. Although auspicious planets surround you in March, you can't expect everything to fall into your lap. If you want something, go after it.

CAPRICORN 22 DECEMBER – 19 JANUARY March promises increased cash flow, although the cosmos is keen to squander money on your behalf - but if the budgets tally, then spend up guilt-free. If single, there's a sense of adventure in the air. For dissatisfied couples, it's more of a make-or-break time. At work, retraining or networking allows you to rediscover your true potential. It's all a matter of making the right contacts and then choosing the right direction.

AQUARIUS 20 JANUARY – 18 FEBRUARY Professional interests are replaced by a glow of sensual satisfaction, with playful passions restoring morale. If coupled, and emotional barriers have grown too high, now is the time to dismantle them. Be honest with those you love, especially after the 20th, when a fateful meeting could prove tempting. Singles also throw caution to the wind. Clandestine affairs, however, could leave you exposed.
