ARIES:  (March 21 to April 20)
Something may prick your conscience or cause you to question your actions.  On the flip side, you will empathise strongly with other people and will freely lend a hand or sympathetic ear when the need arises.

TAURUS:  (April 21 to May 21)
You may have to make your money go further and should review your budget as soon as possible.  An expensive item, debt, or recent past squandering of money, may have to be accounted for in the weeks ahead.

GEMINI:  (May 22 to June 21)
With a variety of thoughts running through your mind, it will be difficult to know where to start.  Formulate a plan of action or discuss future tactics with an adviser.  Paperwork and correspondence also need close attention.

CANCER:  (June 22 to July 23)
You may have to overlook flaws in friends and family members in order to keep the peace.  There is an air of intolerance around your sign, suggesting the actions of others will irritate you more than usual.

LEO:  (July 24 to August 23)
Mars provides the impetus needed to launch a new venture, but you must be careful not to trip yourself up in the rush.  Careful planning is the key to success and good advice the icing on the cake.

VIRGO:  (August 24 to September 23)
With the spotlight on events outside the home, you may find yourself falling behind with the more mundane chores.  Unfortunately, you might have to sacrifice domestic harmony for efficiency on the job and trade away leisure time.

LIBRA:  (September 24 to October 23)
Someone who shares your sense of commitment will make a valuable ally. However, you must be prepared to listen to what others say and heed their advice.  The emphasis today is on team effort and creative thinking.

SCORPIO:  (October 24 to November 22)
A generous spirit will go a long way toward achieving harmony in relationships. Allow loved ones, friends and colleagues a little extra leeway and try not to impose your standards or ideals on other people.

SAGITTARIUS:  (November 23 to December 22)
Extra tact and diplomacy may be needed in a business or romantic partnership.  If you want to get an important point across today, argue your case rationally rather than using emotional words, subtle gestures, or manipulation.

CAPRICORN:  (December 23 to January 20)
Rather than giving up if you fail first time around, be prepared to have another go.  Tenacity may not be a strong point, but if you put your head down and dig your heels in, success will come.

AQUARIUS:  (January 21 to February 19)
Because the emphasis is fun, leisure and romance, you should let your hair down and show the world your hedonistic side.  Relationships formed or nurtured now are likely to flourish and will be long lasting.

PISCES:  (February 20 to March 20)
People who are self-serving, unreliable, or frivolous should be avoided at all costs.  The planets favour self-sufficiency for your sign and suggest you will work more efficiently today if you remain isolated or behind the scenes.

YOUR DAY
While the tendency may be to seek quick solutions and instant gratification, the key to success is clever planning and plenty of patience.  What is worth having in the current cosmic climate is worth waiting for.  Some people may seem flippant, but beneath the frivolous façade, they are actually afraid of looking foolish or showing their true emotions.  Take nothing at face value.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
Finances have been a bone of contention, but by teaming up with a resourceful partner, you will have much greater material success. Just bear in mind that you must speculate to accumulate.  You are likely to gravitate towards people who are older or more mature in 2005 and commitment will come easier.
