ARIES:  (March 21 to April 20)
A new Moon puts the emphasis on career, business interests, and matters outside the home.  You must think big, stand tall, and be ruthless in your negotiations with others.  Someone mature or attractive may catch your eye.

TAURUS:  (April 21 to May 21)
The planets provide a perfect opportunity to balance all the different elements of your life and thus keep mind, body and soul in sync.  Recent areas of neglect are starting to show and a fresh start is needed.

GEMINI:  (May 22 to June 21)
You may have to pace yourself physically, emotionally and mentally during this New Moon phase.  The focus is about to shift from partnerships and your personal life, to deeper issues of life.  The real you will emerge soon.

CANCER:  (June 22 to July 23)
A new phase gets underway this week and you will suddenly become serious about a partnership, plan, or joint financial ventures. There is much to be gained from teaming up with someone who is clever, charismatic or lucky.

LEO:  (July 24 to August 23)
The impact of today's New Moon could see you changing your routine, letting go of a situation or person, starting a new fitness campaign, or reassessing your eating habits.  You will impress others with your newfound determination.

VIRGO:  (August 24 to September 23)
You are about to emerge from a tough situation or emotional problem and will be wiser for the experience.  The challenge now is to move forward and the resolve never to make the same mistake again.

LIBRA:  (September 24 to October 23)
There is a danger you will fall into the trap of making others responsible for your welfare or happiness.  You must be a self-starter this week and stop relying on family members to prop you up.

SCORPIO:  (October 24 to November 22)
Compatible planets and fresh lunar energy in your communication zone provide the physical, emotional, and mental means to turn over a new leaf in life.  Something or someone precious will be appreciated more than usual.

SAGITTARIUS:  (November 23 to December 22)
A new Moon in your money zone prompts you to tighten the purse strings, review the budget, and vow to put something away for emergencies.  The time has also come to get serious about domestic issues.

CAPRICORN:  (December 23 to January 20)
Venus enters your sign, enhancing relationships, increasing popularity, and making you more aware of your image.  In addition, your annual New Moon allows you to make an emotional fresh start and put domestic affairs in order.

AQUARIUS:  (January 21 to February 19)
A situation that last month fell short of expectations and dashed your hopes can be resurrected during this week's change in cosmic energies.  You will draw on inner strength and look elsewhere for happiness, satisfaction, and success.

PISCES:  (February 20 to March 20)
New places, faces, and goals are indicative of the fresh lunar phase that gets underway today.  In the weeks ahead you will be out and about more, working alongside others and enhancing your status or reputation.

YOUR DAY
A new Moon in the executive sign of Capricorn acts as a reminder that the serious issues in life demand a good deal of attention.  People might suddenly appear more ambitious, responsible, or ruthless. Venus, the planet of beauty, love, and interaction, also moves into this conscientious sign, raising standards in business and personal relationships.  If situations seem tough, you can draw on inner strength.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
There may be a feeling of inevitability around a situation and if you try to hang on it could slip from your grasp.  Look on changes this year as stepping-stones toward a better future.  You are entering a period in which endings and new beginnings are a natural part of life's cycle.
