ARIES:  (March 21 to April 20)
It may be time to make your peace with a person who wronged you in the past.  Moon in generous Leo makes the path toward reconciliation so much easier and helps you to forgive another's bad behaviour.

TAURUS:  (April 21 to May 21)
There may be a clash of personalities at home or someone will attempt to steal your thunder in the work place.  Rise above petty arguments or jealousies, but stand up for your rights whenever it is necessary.

GEMINI:  (May 22 to June 21)
Your impulse may be to stick to routine rather than venture into unchartered territory.  However, with several new possibilities opening up for your sign, a fledgling project or relationship should at least be given a chance.

CANCER:  (June 22 to July 23)
Despite driving a hard bargain or refusing to bend to the will of others, your popularity is likely to rise.  The planets provide you with plenty of practical ideas and your sense of timing will be impeccable.

LEO:  (July 24 to August 23)
Despite your best efforts, results may fall just short of expectations.  Moon in your sign could hamper progress or raise anxiety levels and it will be difficult to perform to your usual high standards.  Lower your standards.

VIRGO:  (August 24 to September 23)
Rather than looking for guarantees or reassurances, take a few risks and learn to expect the unexpected.  There may be a surprise reunion with a person who once let you down or disappointed you.

LIBRA:  (September 24 to October 23)
As quickly as tempers flare, they will subside.  Passionate lunar energy can be blamed for the emotional drama and if you are looking for subtlety or a quiet life, you may be fresh out of luck today.

SCORPIO:  (October 24 to November 22)
If you are concerned about your reputation, status or social popularity, bear in mind that first impressions will count the most.  Project your best possible face to the world and if necessary change your image or appearance.

SAGITTARIUS:  (November 23 to December 22)
Overseas contacts and professional or learned people figure prominently and may influence your way of thinking or plans for the immediate future.  Given encouragement or set a challenge, you will be keen to make a fresh start.

CAPRICORN:  (December 23 to January 20)
A problem from the past could resurface and you may feel pangs of guilt or nostalgia about the way events unfolded.  Rather than opening up old wounds, put regrets behind you and focus on the present.

AQUARIUS:  (January 21 to February 19)
The energy hints that opposites will attract and you may seek out people whose talents or means contrast your own.  Others may find your opinions or actions radical, but the potential exists for flashes of brilliance.

PISCES:  (February 20 to March 20)
While most of your needs may be met, there will be a deficiency in at least one area.  The good news is a rocky relationship or situation is likely to stabilise and you will find a new focal point.

YOUR DAY
Aim for perfection and set ambitious goals.  The planets provide the perfect platform for large-scale planning, bold statements and a single-minded approach to life.  Some people may appear self-centred or arrogant, but will back their claims with the appropriate action.  Creative ventures and romantic encounters are also a highlight today.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
Try to find new coping mechanisms, especially when stress levels are high or problems overwhelm you.  If necessary, withdraw from situations or relationships that have proven in the recent past to be unfulfilling or past their use-by date.  In 2006, you should concentrate on personal growth rather than ambitious ventures.
