ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
Interaction with people outside your circle may be enlightening and could lead to some useful networking in the near future. Several planets aligned in your favour create momentum and new people or situations take on deeper meaning.

TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
If you have been short-changing yourself by giving in or up too easily, the planets challenge you to go the extra distance this week. With added support from others, the potential exists to conquer your demons.

GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
A headstrong person may motivate you to cross boundaries and take chances. And because your timing will be perfect, risky actions are likely to pay off or will open your eyes to what has been missing in life.

CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
You may be forced to confront an unpleasant issue, but the end result will be a clearer conscience or more harmonious environment. Use your own life experience, intuition and expertise to ensure you handle situations wisely.

LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
The loving planets Venus and Moon help you put past hurts or troubles behind you. Old patterns are gradually being broken down to make way for improved and more secure conditions. Let go and set yourself free.

VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
Your first impulse may be to take path of least resistance, but getting to the heart of matters is important for long-term peace of mind. Stick to your core values and beliefs, even if it rocks the boat.

LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
Success comes in many guises for Librans, from feedback for a job well done to financial reward. Many of you are carving a new niche this year and developing different skills, handy contacts and richer relationships.

SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
You may have a heart-to-heart with someone that ultimately proves productive in your personal or professional life. If trouble has been brewing for a while, it will help if you remain calm and in control.

SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
Someone who is your ideal mate or mentor makes you feel whole or imparts wisdom. Communication may be on an informal level today, but words will have a profound effect on your confidence and future direction.

CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
Red tape or rules may hinder progress, but you may have to take hold-ups in your stride. Turn your attention to tasks that can be completed quickly so that you can feel some sense of achievement.

AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
If the spark has gone out of a relationship or activity, use your imagination to reignite lost passion. Giving up should not be an option, particularly now while you have so many benevolent planets working for you.

PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
Impulsive people may rattle your nerves or wreck plans, but there will be little you can do about matters outside your control. Instead, concentrate on keeping calm in the face of fiery influences and avoid taking things personally.

YOUR DAY
The risk-takers will probably outnumber wary types, but both can expect wins and losses today. The key is to follow your heart and accept the consequences, taking advantage of energy that is both fortunate and fervent. If situations are approached in a straightforward manner, there will be less chance of error.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
A loyal friend or supportive partner makes you feel special and helps ease burdens. You are in a caring sharing cycle and rather than shooting from the hip, you will wisely consult with others before making major decisions. Teamwork is your pathway to success in 2006.
