ARIES:  (March 21 to April 20)
The completion of a project could be cause for celebration and you will lap up the well-deserved praise or tangible rewards.  Someone whose opinion you respect may offer a piece of timely or invaluable advice.

TAURUS:  (April 21 to May 21)
Your ideas may be innovative or unusual, but without attention to detail they will probably amount to nothing.  If you lack the ability or resources to follow through, seek help from a practical friend or associate.

GEMINI:  (May 22 to June 21)
If you find yourself with a little extra breathing space, use the time to refine the details of a project you are working on.  You could also put more effort into a relationship that needs a little nurturing.

CANCER:  (June 22 to July 23)
You may have to pull a few strings or call in a favour in order to meet a deadline or expectation.  Someone you have helped in the past could come to the rescue and save you from embarrassment.

LEO:  (July 24 to August 23)
Instinctive knee-jerk reactions could be due to heightened sensitivity.  Allow questions, criticisms and propositions to sink in before you respond, especially if there is an emotional component.  You will be more rational later in the week.

VIRGO:  (August 24 to September 23)
Nostalgic thoughts may strike an emotional chord, reminding you how much a person or past situation meant to you.  Rather than dwelling on a bygone era, concentrate on improving your present circumstances and dealing with practical matters.

LIBRA:  (September 24 to October 23)
Use your imagination, look for short cuts and find innovative ways to deal with issues.  After a period of uncertainty, there is positive change in the air for your sign and an opportunity to try something new.

SCORPIO:  (October 24 to November 22)
One of your decisions may prove unpopular, but true to character you will steadfastly stick to your beliefs.  On the plus side, there could be a promotion, praise or financial reward coming way your soon.

SAGITTARIUS:  (November 23 to December 22)
You might appear content to others, but inwardly you yearn for a new challenge or means of escape.  Moon in your zone of expansion may provide a brief glimpse of where you could direct your energies.

CAPRICORN:  (December 23 to January 20)
Fresh ideas may take seed soon, but in the meantime you should tie up loose ends and clear away clutter.  You might be secretive about your intentions, feelings or plans for the future and others will feel left out.

AQUARIUS:  (January 21 to February 19)
The focus switches from trivia to matters of importance, such as joint financial ventures or contractual arrangements.  Powerful forces are at work in your zone of partnerships and you must be business-like in your dealings with others.

PISCES:  (February 20 to March 20)
Choose your words carefully, plan meticulously and leave nothing to chance.  Attention to detail is critical if you want to ensure good outcomes, a minimum of fuss and fewer mistakes.  If necessary, modify your daily routine.

YOUR DAY
Those who are in fighting form have a greater chance of success.  Throw off inhibitions today and try to approach each challenge, problem or discussion in a positive frame of mind.  Some people may be extravagant with their cash, compliments and love, while others could come across as melodramatic or egotistical.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
What appears to be coincidence could actually be fate working in your favour.  Hence you may collect on past good deeds or will be given an opportunity to make up for prior misdemeanours.  Aim for excellence in 2005 and avoid any urge to live in the moment.
