ARIES:  (March 21 to April 20)
Someone may be turning the screws, but ultimately the pressure put on you will work to your advantage.  Chances are you have been lax in your efforts to achieve goals or nurture those important relationships.

TAURUS:  (April 21 to May 21)
Something good is likely to come out of a difficult situation, but in the prevailing period you may have to overcome certain obstacles.  The secret is to remain hopeful and use the lessons learned from past experiences.

GEMINI:  (May 22 to June 21)
Someone who is well connected, creative or loveable could be the catalyst needed to lift your spirits and prompt you to try harder.  And if you have been overly concerned about someone's welfare, you will soon feel reassured.

CANCER:  (June 22 to July 23)
There may be a minor setback or disappointment, but Venus in earthy Capricorn provides the stamina and motivation to try again.  Your ability to bounce back from adversity will be enviable, while communication skills look sharp.

LEO:  (July 24 to August 23)
Despite the exciting build-up, an event or encounter has the potential to turn into an anti-climax.  Lower your expectations and allow proceedings to develop at their own pace without worrying about the eventual outcome or reward.

VIRGO:  (August 24 to September 23)
You may see a loved one's shadowy side, but will very cleverly hide your surprise or disappointment.  A mood of forgiveness and generosity permeates the personal part of your chart, helping smooth the path to harmonious relationships.

LIBRA:  (September 24 to October 23)
A special celebration, thoughtful gesture or spontaneous invitation could help lift your spirits and restore some of your lost faith in human nature.  In addition, you are likely to get your message and needs across more easily.

SCORPIO:  (October 24 to November 22)
With Moon moving away from your sign, you will see issues and people in a more optimistic light.  This is also a time when you can put past grievances behind you and formulate plans for the future.

SAGITTARIUS:  (November 23 to December 22)
Rather than trying to second-guess what other think or feel, appreciate the diversity of opinions and situations.  Some of the subtleties in discussions may be lost on you, but as usual you will have a way with words.

CAPRICORN:  (December 23 to January 20)
With Moon repositioning in the sensitive part of your chart, issues of self-worth may emerge and you may be harder than usual on yourself.  A tendency to exaggerate events and feelings will also distort the picture.

AQUARIUS:  (January 21 to February 19)
You may complain about lack of response from others or good fortune for yourself, but compliments and rewards are just on the horizon for your sign.  Those momentary feelings of self-doubt will dissolve as results filter through.

PISCES:  (February 20 to March 20)
An imbalance between head and heart could put you at odds with yourself or others.  A slight shift in energy may help redress the inequity, but in the interim you should avoid making impetuous moves or decisions.

YOUR DAY
Moon and Venus bring various character types together, but also steer them towards common goals.  The energy is inventive and passionate, making this the perfect time to brainstorm ideas with a view to turning them into reality.  People could be inclined to dig their heels in, but for all the right reasons.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
Someone may see you as the hub of his or her universe and while you will be flattered, you may also feel stifled.  Balance duty with desire and make an extra effort to keep loved ones happy while also fulfilling your own needs.  Consolidation is your key word for 2006.
