ARIES:  (March 21 to April 20)
Optimistic energy helps you put problems into perspective and make significant personal changes.  Someone who once caused heartache will either disappear off the scene or adopt a more conciliatory approach.  Be prepared to meet others half way.

TAURUS:  (April 21 to May 21)
The planets may bring you into contact with a person intrigues or inspires you.  However, there might be more going on below the surface than above it and before long you will lose interest or belief.

GEMINI:  (May 22 to June 21)
The kinks can be ironed out of a relationship provided you are willing to accept some of the blame for hostilities.  Someone who is older or wiser may offer sage advice and a few surprising suggestions.

CANCER:  (June 22 to July 23)
Your boredom threshold may be low or your boundaries too wide.  Either way, a lack of self-discipline is likely to land you in trouble and put you behind schedule.  Remove yourself from distracting people and situations.

LEO:  (July 24 to August 23)
Extra expenses could deplete funds, but you will make up any shortfall by being frugal once the fun is over.  There is a lot to be said for living in the moment while events are running your way.

VIRGO:  (August 24 to September 23)
Take small steps rather than ambitious leaps and never lose sight of your chosen goal.  A tendency to worry about your lack of progress can be attributed to impatience, frustration or an intrinsic need for perfection.

LIBRA:  (September 24 to October 23)
Temptations may arise, but rather than submitting you will be more inclined to heed your conscience.  The planets protect you from making major mistakes and help you find clear-cut answers to those curly questions.

SCORPIO:  (October 24 to November 22)
Although some of your expectations may appear unrealistic to others, holding on to your hopes and dreams help to keep you buoyant.  Adhere to your beliefs and principles, and steer clear of negative people or influences.

SAGITTARIUS:  (November 23 to December 22)
The easiest way to spice up your life is through variety rather major change.  Despite some of you being stuck in a rut, the planets warn against disrupting routine or relationships during this placid period.

CAPRICORN:  (December 23 to January 20)
Listen to your inner voice and pay attention to your dreams, as all signs point towards messages coming to you in mysterious ways.  After months of pondering problems and options, the answers might suddenly slot into place.

AQUARIUS:  (January 21 to February 19)
The power of positive thought will have a greater bearing on your chance for success than resources, effort or expertise.  However, you must be brave enough to take risks and refuse to accept failure as option.

PISCES:  (February 20 to March 20)
Your first instinct may be to dodge delicate issues or project blame on to others, but the lunar energy urges you to be accountable for your actions.  Face the music before making plans for a fresh start.

YOUR DAY
The energy is mutable and there may be a lack of commitment, loyalty or diplomacy.  Meetings could be cancelled, promises broken and plans changed at the last minute.  Rather than risking disappointment it would be best to keep expectations low, reduce the workload and try to overlook the shortcomings of others.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
Issues that may have concerned you last year no longer seem important.  Your tolerance levels should lift and you will be emotionally or mentally stronger.  Family members may be more supportive and less inclined to show disapproval or downplay your contributions.  Give and take is a strong theme for 2006.
