ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
Contact with someone from long ago or far away may make you feel nostalgic, but will remind you not to repeat past mistakes. Fantasies you have been holding on to might suddenly seem silly or totally impossible.

TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
Your tendency to argue the point could prove counter productive and may cause frustration. Moon in your sign suggests you will love having the last word, but may be unprepared for others getting the better of you.

GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
There may be some minor criticism directed towards you, but it can be used constructively if you so choose. Rather than retreating into your shell, put suggestions to the test and show you are willing to learn.

CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
The planets act as a shock absorber, allowing you to take greater risks than usual without any real harm. There is a limit to how far you can go, but you will instinctively know when to back off.

LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
Someone whose lifestyle or intellect you admire may spur you into action. Rather than envying what others have, you will be motivated to emulate their success. Study and hard work offer rich rewards in the weeks ahead.

VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
The planets render you positive and ambitious, but there is a danger you will take on too much. Try to set realistic targets for yourself and allow the people around you to work at their own pace.

LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
You may work extremely hard for the benefit of others, but will be disappointed with the response or rewards. Meantime, loneliness or a lack of love needs to be addressed in a matter-of-fact way.

SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
Your diary may be full, yet there is a void in your life. Tackle the problem of intimacy in a close relationship by putting time aside for you and that special someone. You should also look inwardly.

SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
You can work some of the kinks out of a situation or relationship, but perfection may be difficult to achieve. Be prepared to settle for second best or accept the flaws in yourself and loved ones.

CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
Your tendency to act subjectively or get bogged down in detail could be your undoing. Remove the rose-coloured glasses and you will have a much clearer view of what lies ahead for the remainder of the year.

AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
With Moon at the base of your chart, sensitive family or domestic issues could arise and should be dealt with diplomatically. Your sign sometimes turns a blind eye to trouble, but the truth will set you free today.

PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
Someone who needs advice may look to you for answers, but will expect ironclad guarantees. Be wary of making sweeping statements or venturing into areas where you have little expertise. Mistakes could come back to haunt you.

YOUR DAY
Weigh up the consequences of actions and admissions bearing in mind here could be a backlash. The planets favour a slow and steady approach, and warn against taking risks with money or your reputation. Meanwhile, ambience is important today and if you are trying to win hearts and make a good impression, set the scene carefully.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
Own up to your mistakes and set the record straight. You must make amends and tie up loose ends before you can embark on a new venture or start afresh in a close relationship. The planets hint at greater independence and a willingness to take risks in 2006.
