ARIES:  (March 21 to April 20)
Someone you care for may have a profound effect on your mood or actions.  Perhaps you feel sympathetic, guilty or disappointed, but it will be difficult to switch off and focus on day-to-day issues.

TAURUS:  (April 21 to May 21)
A build up of tension may be apparent and eventually thoughts and feelings will have to be expressed.  Try to avoid heated debates today, choosing instead to discuss differences in a calm and logical manner.

GEMINI:  (May 22 to June 21)
Someone may take your words the wrong way or will twist the truth for his or her own ends.  Ideally, you should nip problems in the bud before a permanent cracks open up in a close relationship.

CANCER:  (June 22 to July 23)
You could be inclined to compare notes with other people rather than trusting your own judgement.  However, with Moon in your sign you can confidently trust your instincts and make decisions directly from the heart.

LEO:  (July 24 to August 23)
Criticism could cut deep and some of you may feel unfairly treated today.  The good news is emotional tensions will soon ease and you are likely to enjoy more leisure time, greater variety or additional personal space

VIRGO:  (August 24 to September 23)
If a close relationship has been strained, now is a good time to clear the air.  The lunar energy is thoughtful and forgiving, allowing you greater insight and enabling you to see the other side of a situation.

LIBRA:  (September 24 to October 23)
Recent tensions look set to ease as the planets provide an easier passage and a few lucky breaks.  The pressure you felt late last year will dissipate, allowing you to establish a new or more varied routine.

SCORPIO:  (October 24 to November 22)
Someone who is charismatic or you feel has something tangible to offer may attract your attention.  Chances are nothing will develop after the initial interest wears off, but you may learn something about yourself.

SAGITTARIUS:  (November 23 to December 22)
Deep thinkers and humorous people will be particularly appealing to you today.  In contrast those who take themselves too seriously are likely to bore you and should be avoided.  Your self-worth may be tied up in your popularity.

CAPRICORN:  (December 23 to January 20)
You usually keep the lid on your emotions, but someone you have a soft spot for may stir your passion.  It will be impossible to sit on the fence and deal with situations from an objective standpoint.

AQUARIUS:  (January 21 to February 19)
If you have reached a plateau, now is the time to mix things up by introducing variety or new strategies.  Your refreshingly flippant approach to affairs will make you a winner in the eyes of many today.

PISCES:  (February 20 to March 20)
Pull back from a situation and look at it in a detached way.  You may be blowing a problem or fault out of all proportion because you are too close to the issue and have lost perspective.

YOUR DAY
Feedback is important as Moon in responsive Cancer highlights the need for approval and acceptance.  People who are needy should be nurtured rather than ignored and extra care must be taken when dealing with sensitive issues.  Money matters are also on the agenda and a review of the budget may be timely.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
Someone who is your rock or mentor continue to support and believe in you.  Down to earth energy makes you feel more grounded in 2006, but hints that hard work is the key to financial success and personal wellbeing.  Ruling Saturn reveals a burning ambition while Jupiter facilitates a breakthrough.
