ARIES:  (March 21 to April 20)
You may be busily making plans for a getaway, new business plan, or domestic change, but should be wary of imposing your will on others or acting impulsively.  Weigh up all options and consult with others before sealing the deal.

TAURUS:  (April 21 to May 21)
There may be a fine line today between angry and assertive behaviour. Modify your words and actions to suit each person or situation, especially where emotional issues are concerned.  You may inadvertently destroy someone's chances or confidence.

GEMINI:  (May 22 to June 21)
The bottom line today is close co-operation.  You may have to bite your tongue, swallow your pride, or turn the other cheek, but by empathising with others and engaging in teamwork, you will eventually emerge a winner.

CANCER:  (June 22 to July 23)
You could be inclined to panic when situations go awry, but despite the occasional obstacle or setback your sign is on a roll.  Take a few calming breaths when out of your depth and learn to trust others.

LEO:  (July 24 to August 23)
Learn to live in the moment rather than chasing elusive dreams or looking too far ahead.  Simplicity is really the key for you and if you allow events to unfold naturally, the forces will do the rest.

VIRGO:  (August 24 to September 23)
To save face or your sanity, it may be necessary to leave a situation or person behind.  However, you should avoid burning all your bridges, as there could come a time when you must re-visit the past.

LIBRA:  (September 24 to October 23)
Whenever you can, draw on past experience to make important judgements or decisions.  A lesson you learned earlier this year, or a path you once travelled have turned you into a wiser and more cautious individual.

SCORPIO:  (October 24 to November 22)
Last-minute changes to your personal plans may seem frustrating, but there is a reason behind everything that happens today.  Remain philosophical and the truth will eventually be revealed.  You may be pleasantly surprised by the modified outcome.

SAGITTARIUS:  (November 23 to December 22)
Patience may not be a strong point, but you have much to gain from biding your time until the perfect opportunity presents itself.  A plan will eventually fall into place and in the meantime you can fine-tune details.

CAPRICORN:  (December 23 to January 20)
You can produce extraordinary results simply by using the power of positive thought.  It may be out of character for you to take financial or emotional risks, but if a venture feels right you will tackle it confidently.
AQUARIUS:  (January 21 to February 19)
As one situation comes to a close, another will begin to gather momentum.  You are likely to score at least one major triumph during January, but there may be a small personal price to pay.

PISCES:  (February 20 to March 20)
You may feel you are wading through a mire of problems, but despite the heavy going will eventually reach your chosen goal.  Expect to lock horns with someone who is stubborn, aggressive, or an egotist.

YOUR DAY
Pursuits or topics that are usually off-limits may be broached in an unusually frank manner.  There may be a greater desire to push the boundaries of convention or good taste and less concern about offending others.  This risk-taking mentally will also be applied in areas such as financial speculation, relationships, and work place practices.  Tact and diplomacy are unlikely to be strong points today.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
Jupiter provides the boost of bravado, confidence, or enthusiasm needed to take that next big career step.  If you have ambitions to improve your prospects, elevate your status, or upgrade your image, luck will be on your side in 2005.  Relationship-wise, it looks like you will take love and sex more seriously.
