ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
How you react to problems will determine the outcome. If you are cool under pressure and think logically, things may not be as bad as they first appear. In contrast, knee-jerk responses will only exacerbate situations.

TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
If you are trying to garner support or influence people, work your charm on those who have the most authority. You can win over even the most hardened hearts this week and turn adversaries into worthy allies.

GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
Once you consider all your options, you will either decide to put plans on hold or take the first hesitant steps toward change. Either way, the stalemate that has existed for several months will probably be broken.

CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
Self-doubt may be the motivating factor behind a conservative decision or reluctance to change. It appears you would rather play safe than risk making mistakes or appearing foolish in front of the people in your circle.

LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
With Moon in enthusiastic Aries, you can turn negative situations to your own advantage and take risks with a little more confidence. On the downside, you may be blind to the faults, fears and failings of others.

VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
Rather than looking for complicated answers, accept that there may be a simple solution to a problem. Moon in your zone of suspicion could cloud your judgement and cast doubt over the conclusions you come to.

LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
Be generous with your time and affection, especially towards people who deserve your love and loyalty. A few words of encouragement or solace, or acts of kindness will have an immediate impact on someone you care deeply about.

SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
A new window or opportunity may have recently opened up, but decisions need to be made quickly if you want to capitalise. You may have to trade freedom for extra responsibility, but the rewards will balance the sacrifice.

SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
A tendency to make things more complicated than they are or give in to others will be a waste of your time and energy. Look for shortcuts, learn how to say no and avoid dramatising simple situations.

CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
If you are upbeat and enthusiastic, others will follow your lead. In contrast, if you radiate negative energy people may try to avoid you. Hence results today will depend largely on your approach and attitude.

AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
If you are looking for quick fixes and timely suggestions, you will be disappointed with the way events unfold. You must do your research and gather information before deciding your next step or making a choice.

PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
Avoid making arrangements or deals with a handshake or promise. Put everything in writing, be clear about choices and trust only those who have a proven track record. Your financial security and creature comforts are important.

YOUR DAY
Moon in Aries prompts people to make a fresh start or pick up where they left off. It also suggests that the competition may be tough at work or challenges will be thrown up at home. However, despite the me-first attitude that is likely to prevail, but there will be no real malice in relationships.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
There may be a strong urge to put down roots or make a commitment. You are entering a business-like period and practical matters, financial security and emotional refuge will be important. The greatest rewards in 2006 come will come through hard work, ethical behaviour and loyal loved ones.
