ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
Avoid playing the role of rescuer and allow others to make their own mistakes. You may think you have all the answers or can accelerate decisions, but some of your attempts may be clumsy or inappropriate.

TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
There may be an unexpected opportunity to climb the ladder, broaden your horizons, or expand your circle. However, the secret to success is working what is best in the long term rather than looking for instant results.

GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
Beware of being caught up in conflicts that are either outside your area of concern or expertise. There is a strong possibility you will be drawn into an emotionally charged situation at home or on the work front.

CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
Some of you will make a concerted effort to improve your health and fitness, while others attempt to streamline their daily routine. This is an excellent time to redress any imbalance created by neglect, indulgence, or apathy.

LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
To reach your full potential you must step outside your comfort zone, stretch your boundaries and resources, and think creatively. A decision is looming that will require an investment of your time, money, and physical energy.

VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
You might grasp desperately at straws to find a solution to or way out of a problem, but your efforts will be in vain. Fate is leading you in a certain direction and you must allow events to unfold naturally.

LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
Your feelings for someone may soften and grow due to greater familiarity, a change of heart, or because new information comes to light. You will also be inclined to think emotionally rather than in your usual logical way.

SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
Blessed with strong powers of persuasion, you will be able to put forward a convincing argument and sway popular opinion. A person you find challenging or charismatic will be a good match for your mood today.

SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
The way you see yourself could be vastly different to the opinions others hold of you. A tendency toward self-deception, or a lack of confidence, could be your downfall. Mix with people who bring out your best side.

CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
For better or worse, you will be influenced by the moods and actions of others. Wherever possible put distance between yourself and those with an axe to grind, and gravitate towards positive people who care for you.

AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
Rather than waiting for fate to decide your circumstances, take a leaf out of the book of a motivated friend or colleague. You must seize the initiative and create your own destiny by setting ambitious goals now.

PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
Security will be tied up with emotional happiness and this could lead to discussions about money or commitment. Despite often preferring to play a lone hand, you will work best as part of a team today.

YOUR DAY
There may be more going on behind the scenes today than is apparent on the surface. In order to interpret the true meaning of statements or situations, it will be necessary to probe deeply and question outcomes. Heightened awareness may make some people touchy while others experience bouts of self-doubt. During this phase, there is a much greater tendency to seek approval and acceptance.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
The emphasis now shifts from home and family to outside interests. A desire to travel or speculate sees you making plans in the first half of the year, but from August onwards, duty and responsibility clip your wings. During 2005, you will vacillate between singing your own praises and being humble.
