ARIES:  (March 21 to April 20)
Sparks may flare between you and someone either out of your league or considered a mismatch.  Venus hints at odd couplings, but also implies that partnerships created this month will almost certainly prove mutually beneficial. 

TAURUS:  (April 21 to May 21)
You may have
a brilliant idea, but the challenge lies in applying your practical skills to convert concepts into reality.  Rather than trying to force a quick result, bounce your thoughts around with others and check all details.  

GEMINI:  (May 22 to June 21)
Someone who turns your head could cross your path and sweet-talk you. Be wary of involvement on a deep level, as chances are you may quickly tire of people or see through their pretentious facade. 

CANCER:  (June 22 to July 23)
A change in your mindset or an unexpected opportunity could lead you in a different direction.  Someone who often plays the role of cheerleader in your life may have a hand in the decisions you make.  

LEO:  (July 24 to August 23)
Rather than engaging in a battle of wits, walk away from people who try to bait or best you.  If the respect you deserve in a relationship is not forthcoming, it might be time to break off contact altogether.  

VIRGO:  (August 24 to September 23)
Integrity and protocol may be more important than usual and those who fail to meet your high standards will be given a black mark.  Some may see you as a hard taskmaster, but hard work comes naturally. 

LIBRA:  (September 24 to October 23)
Having been forced to tone down your sarcasm or superiority complex, you will soon regain respect from others.  Not only are you likely to be remorseful, but you also know how to charm your way back in.  

SCORPIO:  (October 24 to November 22)
Getting more involved can widen your narrow view of a person or situation.  If your options have been limited lately, move outside your comfort zone, be more progressive and listen carefully to what others are telling you. 

SAGITTARIUS:  (November 23 to December 22)
You may being to see someone in a different light and will warm towards him or her.  Situations or relationships that have not been working for you should undergo gradual improvement in the days and weeks ahead. 

CAPRICORN:  (December 23 to January 20)
The more you give out, the more you are likely to get back.  Moon in your sign encourages you to look for the goodness in people rather than homing in on negative traits and trying to change them. 

AQUARIUS:  (January 21 to February 19)
A twist of fate or common sense decision helps to make your life easier or happier.  Those of you who are expecting visitors, a
reunion or important phone contact may be surprised by the impact someone makes. 

PISCES:  (February 20 to March 20)
If an opportunity arises that appears beyond your capabilities, take on the challenge.  You may be pleasantly surprised at the results you
achieve and will receive critical acclaim from your peers.  Open your heart and mind. 

YOUR DAY
Principal planets make for a proactive and productive day.  Important decisions may be made without the slightest hesitation and there will
be a sense of stability in many relationships.  There is also a ruthless streak in the stars and if tough choices are presented, self-interest may be a top priority.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
Something that captured your imagination last year could entice you to jump on the bandwagon in the second half of 2006.  With your appetite sharpened and support from kindred souls, you can expect to feel very comfortable and creative in your new little niche.
