ARIES:  (March 21 to April 20)
Obsessive thoughts or tendencies could interfere with your ability to handle routine tasks.  Set your own tempo, but work towards achieving modest goals and rather than giving in to fears or phobias that may be totally unfounded.

TAURUS:  (April 21 to May 21)
Secure in your
position, you will forge ahead with a project that has the potential to draw scorn.  However, you can expect to have the last laugh when slowly but surely others warm to your plans.

GEMINI:  (May 22 to June 21)
Moon in your zone of organisation compels you to clear away clutter and simplify systems.  There may be a backlog of work or correspondence and it will take discipline to shun pleasurable pastimes while you play catch-up.

CANCER:  (June 22 to July 23)
Conflict fuelled by your own obstinacy could prove counterproductive.  Make more of an effort to fit in and work in tandem with people whose point of view may differ from yours.  Channel passion into worthwhile assignments.

LEO:  (July 24 to August 23)
Watery energy hints at internal emotional struggles, but you will come across as someone who is sympathetic to the plight of others.  You may feel drained or restricted and a break from the crowd could be beneficial.

VIRGO:  (August 24 to September 23)
Driven by inner forces and motivated by those who believe in you, this could be the moment you finally make your mark or a good impression on others.  Your recent self-analysis looks set to pay off.

LIBRA:  (September 24 to October 23)
Although others may find you unreliable or narcissistic, fulfilling your own needs will have a flow-on effect in relationships.  However, despite a desire to put your life in order a lack of motivation may thwart progress.

SCORPIO:  (October 24 to November 22)
Your impassive expression may fool some people, but it will be difficult to hide your feelings from those who know you best.  There may be a reluctance to take risks or wear your heart on your sleeve.

SAGITTARIUS:  (November 23 to December 22)
Driven by mysterious forces, you will be determined to make a situation or relationship work and prove an important point.  Moon in the intuitive sector gives you the gift of foresight and renders you a good listener.

CAPRICORN:  (December 23 to January 20)
If you need leverage in a business deal or relationship, inflate your first offer so that there is room for negotiation.  Others will probably be impressed with the way you handle yourself and the standards you set.

AQUARIUS:  (January 21 to February 19)
You may be on your last chance with certain people and should keep clever remarks to yourself.  The more attuned you are to your environment, the less likely you are to offend others or put them at risk.

PISCES:  (February 20 to March 20)
Some of you may be hell bent on revenge, while others go to great lengths to prove their worth.  And with supportive energy backing your efforts and claims, you will emerge a winner without fear of reprisal.

YOUR DAY
Stoic energy prompts people to stick to their guns and insist on having the last word.  There will be no excuse for backing down from an argument or challenge today and those who show bravado will be amply rewarded.  Dig deep and discover your own inner strength, hidden resources and latent talents.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
A lucky break or unexpected offer may prompt you to rethink your goals for 2006.  Be open to change, bearing in mind that fate is steering you in a different direction.  Relationships should run smoothly and the opportunity to travel, study or speculate could make this a memorable year.
