ARIES:  (March 21 to April 20)
If you have been feeling pessimistic about a situation, a glimmer of hope finally lifts your spirits.  You may have little control over events, but can take heart in the fact fate is working in your favour. 

TAURUS:  (April 21 to May 21)
Your curiosity
may be aroused as you are drawn towards an interesting person or project.  It appears your tastes will be a little out of the ordinary as radical stars feed your need to be daring and different. 

GEMINI:  (May 22 to June 21)
You may feel possessive toward someone and will have a hard time controlling unhelpful emotions such as jealousy or antipathy.  This behaviour may be out of character, but it reflects the intensity of this week's stars. 

CANCER:  (June 22 to July 23)
There may be a hint of conflict at home or in the work place, but your sixth sense helps you pick up on problems and prevent them from festering.  Diplomacy and kindness are another two worthy assets. 

LEO:  (July 24 to August 23)
Surprise developments provide an escape route from the rut you have found yourself in recently.  Either a problem will suddenly be resolved in your favour or your valuable input  may be recognised.  Either way spirits will soar. 

VIRGO:  (August 24 to September 23)
Be productive with your time and put your management skills to good use by bringing people together in a common cause.  The planets encourage you to seize the initiative and back up beliefs with swift action. 

LIBRA:  (September 24 to October 23)
If you have been hoping for emotional feedback from others, you may have to wait a little longer.  People are likely to be too busy or self-absorbed to recognise your achievements and acknowledge your needs. 

SCORPIO:  (October 24 to November 22)
An idea that is mentioned in passing could capture your imagination.  The planetary patterns render you more observant than usual and the subtle clues or nuances you might otherwise miss will help guide you through. 

SAGITTARIUS:  (November 23 to December 22)
You will have a special way with people who need encouragement or advice.  Whether you are dealing with others on a business, platonic or romantic level, your ability to charm and impress makes you a popular companion. 

CAPRICORN:  (December 23 to January 20)
Someone with a sensitive or passionate nature may be the perfect foil for your pragmatic personality.  The two of you will make a great team, especially if you working on a joint creative, monetary or unusual venture. 

AQUARIUS:  (January 21 to February 19)
It is important to sign off on one assignment before starting afresh.  Endings and beginnings are forecast for your sign, but details, loose ends and misgivings must be taken care of before a new phase gets underway. 

PISCES:  (February 20 to March 20)
Your sense of justice and fair play may be heightened, but you should avoid being overly idealistic.  Rather than ignoring the obvious faults of others, work hard at making everyone accountable for their own actions.

YOUR DAY
Moon in bubbly Gemini calls for variety in daily routines, relationships and social activities.  Bear in mind that boredom will set in quickly unless people are prepared to think outside the square and remain flexible.  On a negative note ignore malicious or unfounded gossip and remember that conventional wisdom is unlikely to work.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
There may be a tough competitive edge at work or socially, but you are up for the challenge.  2006 sees you stronger and better able to cope with life.  In fact, you will probably surprise others with your ability to bounce back and grow stronger through adversity.
