Celebrating on this day: lyricist Tim Rice, 73, and actor Hugh Bonneville, 54.

Aries Mar 21 – Apr 20

There’s nothing wrong with having a spirited debate. If you stick to the facts and avoid making personal remarks, you’ll both have lots of fun. You’re determined to take a risk, but your romantic or business partner wants to maintain the status quo. 0905 789 3701**

Taurus Apr 21 – May 21

Your productivity soars when your heart is in your work. Take this opportunity to finish a big project that has been looming over your head. Don’t hesitate to follow creative impulses. Putting an imaginative spin on a traditional form will be effective. 0905 789 3702**

Gemini May 22 – June 21

Going after your heart’s desire should be your first order of business. It may not be practical to pursue a romance or start a creative project. Being sensible isn’t always the best course of action. When you take a risk, you feel more alive. 0905 789 3703**

Cancer June 22 – July 23

Working around the house is rewarding. This is a good time to brighten a room that feels cold and forbidding. Floor lamps that cast light towards the ceiling, reflective surfaces and angular patterns can draw energy into a dull, drab space. 0905 789 3704**

Leo July 24 – Aug 23

Having unlimited freedom brings out the best in you. Instead of being tied to a desk job, you prefer going on the road. Taking trips stimulates your imagination. You should keep a diary of your travels. These observations can be turned into a book. 0905 789 3705**

Virgo Aug 24 – Sep 23

You’re determined to earn more money compared to your peers. It’s time to demand a raise or increase your prices. People who are willing to pay for quality work won’t balk. If your employer can’t meet your demands, ask for other perks. 0905 789 3706**

Libra Sep 24 – Oct 23

Don’t hide your feelings. You prefer conveying an image of cool sophistication but pretending to be bored when you’re secretly thrilled is a mistake. Confessing a crush, promoting an artist or putting your work on display will be exhilarating. 0905 789 3707**

Scorpio Oct 24 – Nov 22

Instead of throwing a fit and making demands, you prefer operating by stealth. An employer who appreciates your understated ways will offer you a promotion. So long as this job change offers lots of independence, it’s worth taking. You’re highly professional. 0905 789 3708**

Sagittarius Nov 23 – Dec 21

It’s time to pursue a long-term goal. You’ve been coasting through life for some time. If you don’t push yourself harder, you’ll fail to realise your potential. Enrolling in university, going on an overseas trip or writing a book are among the possibilities. 0905 789 3709**

Capricorn Dec 22 – Jan 20

You’re determined to reach new heights. Don’t balk if you’re expected to work for a commission. Although you enjoy the security of a salary, you’ll benefit more from a share of profits. The secret to your success is an understanding of your customer base. 0905 789 3710**

Aquarius Jan 21 – Feb 19

Visiting a country known for its beauty will be stimulating. Exploring a place with soaring architecture and beautiful gardens will give you a new lease on life. You’ll have so much fun on this trip that you’ll attract romance like a magnet. 0905 789 3711**

Pisces Feb 20 – Mar 20

Give in to your desires. It’s important to connect with the one you love, even at the risk of neglecting responsibilities. Sneaking off to a private hideaway will be empowering. There’s more to you than being a dutiful employee, relative and friend. 0905 789 3712**
