ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
Most of the elements for success are in place, but you must remain optimistic in the event of setbacks. A tendency to buck pass or look for excuses can be overcome by a positive mindset and practical support.

TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
Just as one problem is resolved, another crisis could crop up. Try to look on stumbling blocks as challenges and think rationally rather than letting emotion govern the decision making process. Objectivity is the key to success.

GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
You may have to take on extra duties or provide emotional support to others. Self-sacrifice is on the cards and while it may prevent you meeting deadlines or engaging in leisure activities, satisfaction is the pay off.

CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
You will relate well to people from all walks of life, but you may not agree with their opinions or principles. Keep interaction with others on a superficial level and avoid revealing too much personal information.

LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
Take time out to pause and ponder your immediate past or future, and then vow to live in the present. There may be lessons to be learned from recent mistakes, but you must not dwell on negatives.

VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
Your feelings might be fragile, but you are able to fool most of the people around you. Friends and family members will make the best companions today, while familiar surroundings ideally suit your lack of confidence.

LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
After several changes of plan, heart or mind, you will most likely settle into a comfortable niche soon. Someone who is well informed, a good communicator or proven friend, may offer a timely piece of advice.

SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
Battles may rage on the work front, but mainly over trivial issues. Even at home others may insist on having the last word and everyone will be unwilling to compromise. Show your courage by calling a truce.

SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
Your ability to take risks without making major mistakes is a side effect of matching planets. You will have a flair for weighing up situations and choosing the right option, as well as an uncanny sixth sense.

CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
Rather than taking offence at the offhand remarks of others, you will handle people with an air of indifference. The stars render you self-assured and put you in a position of power at home, work and socially.

AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
This is a lively time for your sign and you should capitalise on the upbeat and expansive energy. Set the wheels of change in motion, make shrewd financial decisions, and reconnect with estranged or far off loved ones.

PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
Your mood may be restless, making it difficult to focus on the task at hand or personal problems. Take things a step at a time rather than jumping ahead and you will find life more enjoyable or manageable.

YOUR DAY
Think of your budget and reputation before making impulsive purchases or foolish moves. Those trying to impress or be noticed would do well to remember that life is not a popularity contest and every action has a reaction. Keep it as low-key as possible today and concentrate on important issues or significant relationships.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
If you have any unfinished business, now is the time to wrap it up. And whether you are addressing a relationship problem, work issue or financial concern, you must do everything in your power to get it right. 2006 signals a fresh start, greater independence and happier times.
