ARIES:  (March 21 to April 20)
Like a fish out of water, you may feel out of sorts in certain situations.  However, with a little extra effort and more follow up, you will gradually adapt to changing circumstances and feel more in sync with others.

TAURUS:  (April 21 to May 21)
A
shock revelation or sudden attraction might add excitement to your day, but could cause ill feeling in one of your relationships.  If you are looking to spice things up a little, do it without hurting others.

GEMINI:  (May 22 to June 21)
New faces or places may have helped dispel restless feelings and filled you up emotionally.  Now you must keep the momentum going by taking regular breaks and nurturing fledgling relationships with a view to constancy.

CANCER:  (June 22 to July 23)
You may prefer to take a step back, yet will be inexplicably drawn into the affairs of others.  Surprisingly you are likely to derive great joy from helping people resolve personal issues and engaging in healthy debates.

LEO:  (July 24 to August 23)
Put your executive hat on and make decisions others appear incapable of making.  You may also be required to play the role of intermediary where two parties cannot reach an amicable agreement.  Use diplomacy and imagination.

VIRGO:  (August 24 to September 23)
Burn off excess emotional and physical energy in healthy ways.  You may be tempted to lash out at others or resort to old habits, but exercise and a more tolerant approach to relationships are more desirable solutions.

LIBRA:  (September 24 to October 23)
Planets at odds muddy the waters, making it difficult to see clearly where you are heading.  Take small steps and resign yourself to the fact that uncertainty is likely to linger for a few more days.

SCORPIO:  (October 24 to November 22)
The truth will set you free and once you make a confession or discuss concerns, fantastic progress can be made.  You may be pleasantly surprised by the positive feedback you receive from friends and family members.

SAGITTARIUS:  (November 23 to December 22)
Self-denial or alienation from others may leave you feeling dispirited.  The former could be your own fault, but the latter may be due to forces beyond your control and there is no point fretting about it.

CAPRICORN:  (December 23 to January 20)
Others may see you as cautious, but their opinions will quickly change when you pull off an unexpected coup.  There could be an unexpected bonus, boost to your reputation or dramatic turn of events that attracts attention.

AQUARIUS:  (January 21 to February 19)
With Moon in your zone of solitude, you will happily avoid the limelight and keep grievances to yourself.  And because criticism could cut deeply, it may be best to keep contact with hostile people to a minimum.

PISCES:  (February 20 to March 20)
Apart from a slight hiccup in a partnership, the planets are principally in sync with your sign.  You will be an excellent choice for the role of troubleshooter, go-between or guru, offering words of wisdom to others.

YOUR DAY
Emotional energy is tinged with a touch of ruthlessness, making this an excellent time to carry out difficult tasks without losing sight of the effect decisions have on others.  It may seem everyone is acting in his or her own interests, but underneath there is an inherent sense of right and wrong.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
Although there may be doubts or indecision in 2006, your gut instincts will serve you well.  Listen to your inner voice and if necessary take action that may not suit or please others.  At least one achievement should help silence your detractors and restore some lost confidence.
