ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
The harsh realities of life may interrupt your fun, but you will juggle duties and find the right balance. You are accustomed to taking the leadership role and might baulk at someone's suggestion you play second fiddle.

TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
A person or set of circumstances may back you into a corner and you will have to confront an issue you would rather ignore. Be diplomatic but speak your mind or you will come off second best.

GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
Make direct contact with someone you have been thinking of but neglecting. Your gift to others will be a kind word, helping hand or the faith you show in them. Children and the young-at-heart will bring great joy.

CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
You may not feel at ease in large groups, but will relate well to others on a one-to-one basis. Most of you will happily shun the limelight today and opt instead to work behind the scenes.

LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
You might come across as aloof to some, but others will understand that you feel shy or inadequate in certain situations. In subtle ways you will probably seek approval and may be reluctant to make decisions.

VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
There may be some unexpected highs and lows to contend with, but overall you will feel satisfied with the progress you make. Avoid placing all your faith in one person or situation and keep plans open ended.

LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
Your flair for putting people at ease makes you the ideal friend, mediator and mentor. And despite resistance from certain quarters, you are also likely to get your own way with the minimum amount of fuss.

SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
You are fated to be in a better position soon, but first you must make the transition between something old and new. Gains may be hard fought and won, but you will soon have cause to celebrate.

SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
While the possibilities for your sign may be endless, you need to set targets and keep your eyes firmly fixed on the horizon. If you scatter your energies or lose focus an opportunity could be lost forever.

CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
As you put one problem behind you, another drama is likely to unfold. Be careful of knee-jerk reactions and watch you do not blow situations out of proportion. Your usual steady-as-she-goes approach will work best.

AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
One of your biggest concerns may diminish, with some of you celebrating an emotional victory and others receiving a financial boost. Venus acts as your guardian angel, placing you in the right place at the right time.

PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
Although you may be slow to anger, but once your passion is unleashed it certainly packs a punch. Ideally you should turn your back on trouble and keep your temper under control. Hurtful words cannot be retracted.

YOUR DAY
With Sun and Moon in conflict, heart and mind will be out of sync. This suggests people may know what they want, but will have a hard time achieving it. Also, there may be a sense that you are misunderstood or messages will be lost in translation. Avoid reading too much into negative comments or thoughts.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
You may use unorthodox means to achieve your aims, but a win is a win. Fortunately, Jupiter forms a nice angle to your Sun next month and provides the element of luck necessary to get you over the line. You may make travel plans or solid investments in 2006.
