ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
Although you may be clear about what you want, a detailed plan needs to be put into place. The new Moon offers the best chance all year to initiate group projects or improve your technical skills through study.

TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
There is a need for discernment in all your dealings, and the fresh lunar cycle implores you to adopt a business-like approach and avoid getting too personal with associates. There may be deception at home or in the workplace.

GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
Put mundane matters aside and brainstorm with people who are on your wavelength. You are happiest when interacting with those who have the same ideals, share your sense of fun, and don't take life too seriously.

CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
This is a tricky lunar cycle for you, especially if you are recovering from a break-up, let down, or health problem. The stars suggest a relapse could be on the cards unless you have willpower and determination.

LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
You may be physically, emotionally, or intellectually drawn to someone, and an interesting business or romantic alliance will be created. Take any new relationships slowly and be sure to set equal terms of reference from the start.

VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
Yours may be the voice of reason in an otherwise hostile environment. However, despite your best efforts, there will be people who are simply spoiling for a fight. The good news is your daily routine looks set to improve.

LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
A twist of fate or apparent reversal of fortune works to your advantage. The new Moon is nicely aligned with your sign and this compatible combination creates renewed enthusiasm for a forgotten project, relationship, or business venture.

SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
Someone you once loved, liked or spent time with may reappear on the scene or pop into your subconscious. Just be wary of putting people on a pedestal, or glorifying the good times and playing down the bad.

SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
In a departure from your usual modus operandi, you will approach situations with care rather than jumping in without fear or forethought. Having had your fingers recently burned, the fresh Moon makes caution your new catchword

CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
There may be a backlog of emails, accounting, phone calls, or chores to catch up on. Fortunately with a new Moon in your sector of substance, you will be inspired to make short work of outstanding tasks.

AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
You may be on a mission to make life easier, or you will bask in an achievement or compliment. Even your usual desire to have the last word may be curtailed by the subtle shift of energy.

PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
Set your own pace, agenda, and priorities, with a view to seizing back lost control. The fresh lunar phase encourages you to be more independent and less reliant on acceptance or approval from other people.

YOUR DAY
The renewed energy is intellectual and ideas tossed around could produce some brilliant results. There may also be a tendency for people to play opposites, insist on the last word, or act rebelliously. This is a perfect time to make resolutions, clear away clutter, detox the mind, and put relationships on a fresh footing. Despite the contrary nature of the stars, kindness is important.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
The good news is hold-ups or restrictions in the areas of career, daily routine, or your health will soon be lifted. The bad news is stern Saturn moves into your relationship zone mid-July creating problems in a business or romantic relationship. Many valuable lessons will be learned in 2005.
