ARIES:  (March 21 to April 20)
A new Moon in powerful Scorpio casts a shadow over the darker aspects of your personality.  Now is the perfect time to drive out personal demons, change bad habits and share long-held secrets.  Honesty will be cathartic. 

TAURUS:  (April 21 to May 21)
Your reputation, rank or romantic relationships may receive a boost from the influential new Moon.  Not only will people sit up and take notice of your talents, but potential new avenues are also likely to open up. 

GEMINI:  (May 22 to June 21)
As the lunar energy is renewed, you may seek an outlet for pent-up physical, emotional or mental energy.  The methods or means you use may seem extreme to some, but others will jump straight on board. 

CANCER:  (June 22 to July 23)
After months of concerted effort you may suddenly make a major breakthrough.  The new Moon highlights how tenacity and self-belief pays off for those with a point to prove or target to reach.  Accept all the accolades. 

LEO:  (July 24 to August 23)
Be prepared to play the waiting game rather than trying to second-guess situations.  Your anxiety levels may worsen in the days ahead or you will feel strangely sad, remorseful and not in control of your emotions. 

VIRGO:  (August 24 to September 23)
Be prepared to pull out all stops as a small window of opportunity opens up for your sign.  Act now and think about the ramifications later, especially if there is money to be made or kudos to be gained. 

LIBRA:  (September 24 to October 23)
A tendency to criticise people for minor mistakes while overlooking your own shortcomings will be seen double standards.  Make sure your own conscience is clear before questioning the integrity or application of colleagues and loved ones. 

SCORPIO:  (October 24 to November 22)
Yours is a sympathetic sign, but you must be wary of those who drag you down with their negative energy.  Practice detachment and avoid people who want to cry on your shoulder or exploit your compassionate nature. 

SAGITTARIUS:  (November 23 to December 22)
There is a danger you will be indecisive, lacking in motivation or easily sidetracked.  Set yourself some specific targets today and keep the momentum going once you get on a roll.  Venus helps boost your self-esteem. 

CAPRICORN:  (December 23 to January 20)
A sense of gloom and doom about a situation could be a signal that you should pull out or change direction.  Listen to your heart and you cannot go wrong, especially in the areas of relationships and finance. 

AQUARIUS:  (January 21 to February 19)
There is a fine line between fact and fiction, so use discretion when passing on information or acting on a tip.  Check details and keep your guard up around people who have proven untrustworthy in the past. 

PISCES:  (February 20 to March 20)
An ongoing problem is likely to be resolved in your favour and as a result your attitude towards someone will soften.  Relationships look more promising and there could be a visit or contact from an estranged friend.

YOUR DAY
A new Moon in Scorpio unearths secrets and lies, but can also create pressure situations.  The energy is intense and a tendency to go to extremes puts people at risk.  Rather than looking at problems in black and white terms, think laterally and take advice from those who are inspired, intellectual or restrained.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
Next month marks a turning point and with Jupiter acting as your guardian angel, you will more than happy with a decision or outcome. There may be a strong desire to travel during 2006 or you will embark on a new relationship, venture or course of study.
