Monday May 22, 2006

ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
Changes keep you on your toes and while you may find it difficult to relax, you will thrive on the electric pace. There may also be an assorted mix of people who cross your path or capture your heart.

TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
You could be inclined to panic as an event or decisions draws closer. Focus on putting the last minute touches to plans and preparations, and rather than being a perfectionist think about setting slightly lower standards.

GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
Without consciously trying you will maintain the edge over others and quietly achieve your aims. Mercury in your sign drives you to complete tasks before deadlines, while the Sun provides extra energy to cope with the frantic pace.

CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
Rather than shouting others down, assert yourself in a quiet but convincing way. Someone in your circle might test your patience, but will calm down and show respect when you demonstrate persistence and poise.

LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
Voices in your head could cause self-doubt, but you will reveal little of what you feel to others. A sense of pride and reluctance to show weakness could see you putting up a façade this week.

VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
Despite questioning the motives of certain people, you are likely to give them the benefit of the doubt. It is important that your relationships are based on trust and you will be reluctant to break any fragile bonds.

LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
Planets in the escapist sector could be responsible for those restless urges and risky thoughts. You are being encouraged to expand into new career or study areas and experiment with different relationships, hobbies or philosophies.

SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
If an aspect of your life has become monotonous, add variety rather than making sweeping changes. There is definite scope for improvement in the planets, but you must be prudent and take little baby steps forward.

SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22) Your quest for excellence may be motivated by arrogance or ego, but it will no doubt produce the results you want. Just watch a tendency to obsess over insignificant issues or exaggerate your own importance in a relationship.

CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
Ruling Saturn shows your darker side and challenges you to rise above sinister thoughts, secretive feelings and cutting comments. You may be inadvertently hurting someone who has shown you nothing but love and support in the past.

AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
In contrast to your usual inflexible approach to life, you will most probably be tractable, restrained and accepting of other people's opinions. This newfound compliance will help you win the hearts and minds of many people today.

PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
Pleasing others could prove difficult, especially given the diversity in the planets and the challenges about to be thrown up. Plans may chop and change, associates could prove unreliable and your temper is likely to be frayed.

YOUR DAY
Things are not as they appear on the surface, but finding the truth or pinning people down could prove impossible. Glide over serious issues, avoid stirring up trouble and think carefully before saying your piece. The energy is best suited for interaction in short bursts, diverse activities and platonic relationships.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
There may be strong purpose behind your actions, but you will stop short of ruthless conduct. This is a karmic time for you and unless you act with integrity, your exploits could come back to bite you. A clear conscience is the key to success and happiness.
