ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
Driven by a passion to succeed, you may display a ruthless streak but will be at your competitive best. People who are dull, needy or lazy may bring out the worst in you while over-achievers earn your respect.

TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
While you value your independence, you will also happily share your plans and dreams with loved ones. A momentous meeting, discussion or breakthrough in the days ahead may provide you with fresh hope for the future.

GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
By nature you are inquisitive and inventive, but often fail to follow through on interests and ideas. Venus in your sign boosts your ego and enthusiasm, and a venture you start soon will be both successful and satisfying.

CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
If you are brutally honest with yourself, you will be forced to admit that a situation is not working well. The message for your sign is to either let go or make drastic and immediate changes.

LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
Tone down arrogance and try to curb jealous tendencies. Deep down you want the best for your loved ones, but there is a danger you will come across as overbearing and lose the respect of others.

VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
You will not suffer fools gladly and one person in particular who sets your teeth on edge may feel the full force of your wrath. Your overall intentions are good, but more subtlety is needed when expressing opinions.

LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
A lively debate may degenerate into an argument and the secret is to let your opponent have the last word. Your provocative language and sense of superiority will attract both trouble and enemies in the days ahead.

SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
An area of your life may be long overdue for reassessment and with several compatible planets providing a much-needed boost the timing is perfect for formulating plans. Consult with those you love and trust first.

SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
It may be time to reconnect on a deep level with someone you have been taking for granted or who needs your support. You might be blind to your own shortcomings, yet quick to pick fault with others.

CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
Because there is a risk of misunderstandings and mistakes, you must be on the ball at all times today. Keep the lines of communication open, double-check facts and figures, or seek guidance from someone in authority.

AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
The time has come to take a reality check and face the possibility you have been living a lie. As difficult as it may seem to break bad habit patterns or sever ties with someone, it is necessary.

PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
Someone who was recently the catalyst for change in your life will begin to play a bigger role on a day-to-day basis. If you have been feeling lonely, inadequate or inferior, expect a sudden turnaround.

YOUR DAY
There could be a tendency for some to turn troubles inward while others worry unnecessarily about petty problems. Anxiety levels are likely to be raised today and despite the fact most fears will ultimately prove unfounded; a lack of logic in the stars prevents people from thinking things through. On the upside, intuition is heightened and first impressions will be spot on.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
Rather than trying to find your own special niche, take a backward step in 2005 and observe from the sidelines. You will learn more about yourself and what you want from life by observing people and situations. Time out may also help you rest and recover after a hectic period.
