The last thing on your mind today is routine. You don’t want anything that reeks of predictability, conventionality or order. Seek out and search for physical challenges or anything of a competitive nature. Tie up fiscal loose ends before Easter comes along.

An institution or individual offers to pull a few strings behind-the-scenes to help you advance your personal interest or cause. You may be in two minds about accepting but dismiss any qualms about not using the proper channels as some rules were made to be broken.

A strong emotional charge inspires you to take command of your life by being more open with yourself. This promises a frank exchange of views and, more importantly, you, and everyone else for that matter, will know where they stand. Promise yourself, no more secrets.

Career and social affairs are set to improve. What clouds your current advancement is a boring tendency to cling to what’s old, comfortable and familiar. All it takes is for you to be bold enough to reach out and grasp new opportunities - it’s your call.

There’s much hard work ahead so knuckle under and prepare for action. Don’t let anyone make selfish or unnecessary demands on you. Your life is your own so tell others to take their hand off the dual controls and let you drive solo. Now you can be sure you’ll get things done your way.

April 5th could send a shiver down many a Virgo not prepared for their tax year end but it’s far from late to sort out your economic world. It’s just an added incentive to make sure you know precisely where you stand in the fiscal stakes, and review and renew your commitment to making money.

How can you possibly remain neutral when you or someone nearby is on the receiving end of prejudice or discrimination? This is one of those occasions when you can’t stand by and witness an injustice. You must vigorously oppose any bigoted behaviour or corrupt allegations.

Responsibilities are heavy and for all the progress you’re making, you might as well be banging your head against a brick wall. You need all the brain and brawn you can muster to get through a demanding and arduous day but your reward is, an enduring sense of achievement.

Get into any kind of disagreement with a partner and it’s not just them you are taking on but their family too. To avoid allowing such a situation develop, talk things through to find common ground, and then deal with the vexed question of their kith and kin.

You may be concerned about a recent event and suspicious about someone’s motives but only a direct confrontation will ease your mind. Until then, so as not to stir up trouble, keep your hunches to yourself as this isn’t the kind of day to go on the warpath with anyone.

A fresh burst of mental energy helps you find solutions to frustrating problems but you must remain focussed or you’ll lose the scent. If someone tries to help, you might as well give up altogether as some things are best done by yourself, for yourself: today you ARE indispensable.

Today’s starry picture is encouraging for money trends even if all you manage is to pay off one bill - more wisely, give time to tax matters. It’s also good to get any strong feelings out into the open as what you decide could help pave the way to better relationships.
