ARIES:  (March 21 to April 20)
Solving problems and mysteries is your top priority, but you must combine intuition with logic to reach the right result.  Be warned that a tendency to read too much into situations could see emotion occasionally cloud your judgement.

TAURUS:  (April 21 to May 21)
With the emphasis on shared experiences, you should see out the old year with people who are on your wavelength.  The lunar energy eases the way for harmonious relationships, while compatible Jupiter facilitates smooth-running events.

GEMINI:  (May 22 to June 21)
While you may have to rely heavily on others to make arrangements or provide motivation, your input will still be valuable.  Being practical and adhering to routine are likely to be your two biggest challenges today.

CANCER:  (June 22 to July 23)
Rather than abusing your power or influence over others, use your nurturing skills in positive ways.  Some of you may consider taking a needy person under your wing, while others pass on words of wisdom or advice.

LEO:  (July 24 to August 23)
Saturn makes you work harder for less reward, but it also gives you a greater appreciation of life and your loved ones.  Put a limit on worry and sacrifice, and allow yourself some small indulgence or treat.

VIRGO:  (August 24 to September 23)
With a newfound sense of self, you will be both admired and respected by others.  And while you may harbour a secret desire to break out of the conventional mould, duty and responsibility keep you grounded.

LIBRA:  (September 24 to October 23)
If you have recently emerged from your shell, expect the holiday period to be one of further personal growth.  You possess a new inner strength and will be heartened by positive feedback from friends and loved ones.

SCORPIO:  (October 24 to November 22)
Set your own pace and be particular about what you want.  It will be easy to fall under the spell of strong-willed people or sacrifice your needs for others, however to feel satisfied you must be self-serving.

SAGITTARIUS:  (November 23 to December 22)
Reunions, relationships and re-evaluation are all possible and favoured for your sign.  While some of you welcome a long lost friend or relative back into the fold, others will spend time with a compatible companion or group.

CAPRICORN:  (December 23 to January 20)
Your moods may fluctuate and your energy levels waver, but communication is definitely a strong point.  Someone who exudes an aura of mystery or has a mind like a steel trap will be highly attractive to you.

AQUARIUS:  (January 21 to February 19)
As you gravitate towards a particular type of person you will begin to feel more at ease in your own skin.  And while the planets favour platonic relationships, a little love and romance is also forecast this week.

PISCES:  (February 20 to March 20)
As the year draws to a close, you will feel upbeat at times yet despondent at others.  This is either because your heart is torn in two over an issue, or you harbour regrets about the past.

YOUR DAY
People may be showy or shifty, but the day is shaping up as productive.  Questions might be asked and answered with efficiency and speed, or there may be a feeling that a corner has been turned in a personal sense.  It is important to take a few risks rather than holding back.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
You may meet your match in a business or romantic sense and will enjoy shared experiences.  A spirit of co-operation helps you begin your new birthday year with a feeling that you belong and have something valuable to offer.  Health-wise, you must be disciplined and pay particular attention to nutrition.
