ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
Take stock of where you are and aim to make improvements. An opportunity exists to fine-tune relationships, develop new interests and boost your income or status in life. Be proactive and have faith inyour own ability.

TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
The planets portray you as a person who knows what they want but perhaps lack the self-motivation or means to achieve your aims. Push the boundaries and experiment with new ideas, techniques or romantic and business relationships.

GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
It may be difficult to sidestep certain issues, but provided you are tactful and kind to others relationships will remain on an even keel. This is an ideal time to make a fresh start with a loved one.

CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
You may have to work harder to earn recognition or respect, but challenges will make victories so much sweeter. Life looks set to improve and a goal you set six months ago could soon come within reach.

LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
A desire to win at all costs may be your motivating force, but be wary of climbing over others to achieve your aims. Tone down your enthusiasm, play fair and be practical as well as positive.

VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
Provided you have laid solid foundation stones, the momentum in a project will slowly begin to build. Careful planning is about to reap rewards and support from someone with influence will be the icing on the cake.

LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
Ruling Venus helps you make sense of a problem and improves interaction with those you deal with on a regular basis. A recent upgrade in lifestyle or a boost in popularity has helped renew your zest for life.

SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
Venus in your sign brings clarity in emotional issues, but stern Saturn constantly challenges you to stay one step ahead in the work place. Bear in mind that tough challenges will result in higher levels of satisfaction.

SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
This is a wonderful time of the year for healing old wounds and helping the less fortunate. Ruling Jupiter in fair-minded Libra provides you with the tools needed to communicate effectively and make amends for past mistakes.

CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
Issues and problems relating to close friends and relatives can be dealt with more easily this week. A confrontation may be inevitable, but once the air is cleared you will feel a profound sense of relief.

AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
Jupiter provides the element of good luck needed for successful ventures, but you should be careful what you wish for as dreams can easily turn into nightmares. Remain patient and allow events to gradually fall into place.

PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
Someone who is affable but detached could be a calming influence or valuable ally. After weeks of uncertainty or self-doubt, you can now look forward to a less stressful period and greater support from your loved ones.

YOUR DAY
Because energy levels are likely to ebb and flow, it may be wise to slow the tempo and lower expectations. Break tasks down into smaller and more manageable segments, but avoid getting hung up on detail or handing out unsolicited advice to others. Despite a lack of motivation, the mood is sociable and teamwork will bring the best results.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
Saturn strengthens your resolve and you will either tough it out in a situation that has almost run its course or set yourself a major challenge. The signs point towards success in this year's undertakings and if all goes according to plan, you will be happier, healthier or wealthier by mid-2006.
