There is an unusually strong planetary alliance around the Ides of March that heralds remarkable events around the world. Even though Mercury is not retrograde I see a potential disruption of communication systems on a grand scale. It is also likely that global economics will hit the headlines in some way, possibly due to deliberate leakage of classified information.
On the plus side, whatever occurs at this time leads to a better system with more effective controls for the future.
ARIES (March 22nd - April 20th)
 The alignment of worry invoking Saturn to other planets affects you in odd ways. Even if life is generally going well you feel vaguely unhappy – perhaps you can’t put your finger on the reason at all. Clues can be found somewhere deep inside you. It is yourself that you are unhappy with and short of punching air it’s best just to keep reminding yourself about all that’s good. This month’s tangible challenge comes in the form of silly family niggles that are really cries for attention. The credit crunch may have a reverse effect on you, improving work prospects and adding to your workload. By the end of the month you should be feeling more positive about your long term career future. It’s time for a fitness crusade, even if you have injuries or other excuses. Fortunately, eager pals and partners will help make sure you don’t lapse into lazy ways.

TAURUS (April 21st - May 21st)
 You have a reputation for being less than egocentric, but this month you’ll be dragged, kicking and screaming, right into the heart of things. What’s more you’ll enjoy the attention you get once you settle into the swing of it. Fate wants you to have a higher profile, take risks and get used to publicity. You may hit the limelight for reasons you’ll be proud of if you’re squeaky clean or, if you’ve got dark secrets, they could soon be laid bare. Whichever way it goes, you will come out of it smelling of roses if you look the world in the eye with a smiling face and an open manner. This is your luckiest month of the year for a flutter, so don’t forget to splash out a little in the hope of gaining a lot. It’s hard to read what’s going on in the mind of someone in your close family who’s being evasive but you can be sure it’s something important.

GEMINI (May 22nd - June 23rd)
 You, the sometimes blind optimist, like to think you can work out the answers to everything and don’t need to rely on others at all. This month brings evidence to the contrary. A drain on your resources becomes a big issue and you’ll be left with the uncomfortable feeling that things are slipping out of your control. One answer is to rob Peter to pay Paul, but this sort of juggling will only help in the short run. Friends have other solutions that will turn your mountain into a molehill. What’s more you’ll make the pleasant discovery that they are there to help when the chips are down. All in all, you’ll end up with better camaraderie and a way out of the mire if you listen. Family life is a whirl of activity, wit and laughter, so don’t let misgivings about past dull gatherings get in the way of a perfect chance to let your hair down in familiar company.

CANCER (June 23rd - July 22nd)
 Saturn is firmly entrenched in a part of your chart that unavoidably draws your attention to all the most challenging aspects of domestic life, especially those with no easy solutions. Since this planet will occupy that part of your chart for the next 2 years, you shouldn’t just let problems fester. However, the way to proceed when tackling Saturn related issues in to devise damage limitation strategies rather than getting worked up and perhaps making things worse. Other than that, planets are now grouped in the social sector of your chart so throw a party, join a tennis club or stick with your friends for a whale of a time. You are due for at least one and maybe more surprise trips which will be great adventures. Since home life is the dull and difficult feature of your 2010 horoscope, getting out and about helps you to leave all your troubles behind.

LEO (July 23rd - August 23rd)
 You’ll feel a strong urge to break free from a dull lifestyle that’s somehow built up around you lately. This means fleeing the nest for a while or engaging your brain on new fronts that bring a breath of fresh air into your world. However, you won’t be at your lively best until mid month, so take your time planning your escape and when you really feel up to it, nobody will be able to hold you back. Partners or friends come up with cash generating schemes that make great sense at a time when you feel a need to start counting pennies. You’re a real ball of energy from mid month and feel rampant in love. Let’s hope you can find someone to share your unbridled passion! While you’re feeling so lively it’s also time to think about getting fitter, so that you can look forward to fitting into the same summer clothing that you were able to get into last year.

VIRGO (August 24th - September 23rd)
 This looks like being your busiest and most exciting month of the year. Your imaginative schemes will quickly flounder because, as so often, you’ve laboured too long over the practicalities. However, things will move faster if you share your ideas and make sure everyone feels involved with whatever you are trying to achieve. Your love life is likely to take you in a significant new direction and get you out of a rut you’ve been stuck in for ages. Partly, this is due to a change in the way you see yourself and that, in turn, reflects in the way you connect with lovers. For clues about where your future love life is headed, watch what happens on or around the New Moon around the ides of March. Lack of family support disappoints you in a crisis, so look to your own resources. This is not a time for words - it’s the moment for action at home.

LIBRA (September 24th - October 23rd)
 Your chart is dominated by a gang of planets in the love and romance sector of your chart during March but this could be more of a hindrance than a help. Due to the sobering influence of Saturn you probably don’t feel at all light hearted and frivolous, so everyone who expects you to be your normal, sunny self finds you in a deeply reflective mood and wonders whether they are the cause of your withdrawal. It is actually a time to assess the merits and defects of your love life carefully but not to shy away from whatever responsibilities you have allowed to evolve around you. Think of this month as a time for getting rid of millstones around your neck at work and you’ll see you have a golden opportunity to refocus. You’ve neglected personal fitness lately but a good workout is the best antidote to the mounting pressures affecting you.

SCORPIO (October 24th - November 23rd)
 Things you say are apt to come out the wrong way and get right up people’s noses, so choose your words carefully, especially when dealing with someone who is just not on your wavelength. Outings, parties and other nice social gatherings will completely dominate the next few weeks. Arranging the biggest possible get together within a day or so of the 16th would be the icing on the cake. If you’re on the love trail a pal is going to help you find the squeeze your heart is yearning for. You’re likely to lose your sense of direction at work but you shouldn’t make rash decisions before the fog has cleared. Your family go mysteriously quiet; causing you to wonder what may be going on behind your back. Try not to be a couch potato – it’s supposed to be the year in which you reach new heights of fitness and really get in trim.

SAGITTARIUS (November 23rd - December 22nd)
 It’s time to look at your hopes, dreams and ambitions. Are they realistic? If not, how are you going to give yourself any hope of achieving them? If you have no immediate goals it would be a good idea to think some up. You are apt to be too focussed on the bigger picture lately, when there are more pressing concerns. I said all this because there is a complex cluster of helpful planets affecting the career sector of your chart in March. They will help you to come up with bright ideas and maybe turn your life in a new direction too. You’ll be in a passionate mood all month, so it’s just as well love is in the air for you. Isn’t it strange that even though most things are going well, you still feel insecure? This is a reflection of your inner doubts – not a portent of impending disaster. Travel plans go awry - if something can go wrong, it will.

CAPRICORN (December 23rd - January 20th)
 Fate has given you lots of hints over the last year or so that wearing your heart on your sleeve or letting pessimism rule your life is a recipe for trouble. If you’re having a bad time lately you still haven’t grasped the lesson. If things are going well you’ve at last mastered your emotions and you’ll be a wiser, more successful person. This is a month for reaching out and discovering whether the grass is greener elsewhere. Unleash the adventurer within and try something daringly different. Surprise your friends or partner by arranging a treat that takes you somewhere you’ve never ventured before. It’s all part of making life more interesting and the planets are aligned to help you do just that. For those of you in steady relationships that are going down the pan, broadening your horizons could be the key to getting it back together.

AQUARIUS (January 21st - February 19th)
 Things you say are apt to be taken the wrong way. Don’t get uptight – fate’s simply trying to make you learn from mistakes and master the art of putting yourself across more effectively. You’ll feel like a caged animal at work and, as with all good cages, there’s no easy way out. Focus on what got you into your hemmed in state and you’ll start to see that you’re in a prison of your own making. Is the new kid on the block that you fancy so much really the perfect lover you’re imagining, or are you living in a fantasy world? Fate says the real person is not divine but human like the rest of us – warts and all. Money passes through your hands far too easily and you’re in danger of spending substantially more than you’re earning. You can’t have it all your own way at home, so opt for a middle path and everyone will be happy.

PISCES (February 20th - March 21st)
 Your early month astrology is a complicated mix of friends who seem to let you down, lovers who want to argue all the time and, at the heart of it, you feeling insecure. There’s a purpose behind every situation fate throws at you. In this case it will be posing two key questions. Firstly, are you too dependent on other people? Secondly, why are you trying so hard to keep everyone happy when you feel messed about and unappreciated? Hopefully, you’ll see that destiny is trying to wean you away from dependency and telling you to look to yourself for approval – not to everyone else. It’s a great month for love, whether stale and in need of fresh impetus or brand new. Either way, the planets align for closeness and a feeling of permanence, so set your stall for a romantic time ahead and make plans with the one who’s closest to your heart.
