This month for Aries
The New Year means new starts, which is usually something to fire your imagination. Mercury whizzes through Capricorn at a rate of knots, and it it could bring some sparkle to your career plans, if that part of your life has been in the doldrums. Look for something that involves communication, buying and or selling. romance is well starred early on and a dangerous liaison maybe just what you need to add a bit of danger to a rather safe love life. Or maybe you

This month for Taurus
Everyone starts a New Year with resolutions, andbefore you make yours be sure that what you want is hwat you need, not what someone else wants. Ultimately, with the Moon and your ruler, Venus in such close alliance, what makes you happy is so important. Once you get this right, everything else follows. The 19th is when the Sun moves away from your fellow earth sign of Capricorn and into the career sector of your chart. Neptune is there nowbringing uncertainty and a little confusion, but rather than trying to fit around your job try fitting your job around you and your life.

This month for Gemini
You have a lot on your plate but the ability to deal with it too. You can stand back and get involved with something that jsut seems like too much hard work. However, once you set your mind to something what you can actually achieve will amaze you. Consider a task that you have been putting off, or a goal that previously has seemed just out of reach and this month it will seem so much easier that you will wonder what put you off before. Added to that, you are oozing attractiveness and charisma which could bring all sorts of interesting people into your circle!

This month for Cancer
The Full Moon is in your sign mid month which promotes a very special and significant time for you, emotionally. A new beginning romantically is on the cards, or a lep forward in current love affair that has been losing it's sparkle lately. Truths will be revealed which could shine a whole different light on your life and cause you to reconsider your next move. Saturn's realistic influence is continuing to exert a sensible approach in your chart area of money, and saving is going to be the order of the day rather than spending, so try and resist those January sales if you can!.

This month for Leo
Saturn in your sign seems to be restricting yor options but is actually gving you responsibilities and you are very aware that you need to 'take care of' certain matters in your life. What you do and say matters and there are consequences of which you are now becoming fully aware. Others seem to be having more fun, but you are in a rather serious mood and you are after quality rather than quantity in your life. Chances are you will be chucking out plenty of useless items that you have outlived or outgrown. There is a real sense of satisfaction and long term relationships may be under stormy skies but you aren't in the mood to compromise and what seems lke a loss now, could turn into a real gain in the future.

This month for Virgo
Important family discussions can bring about changes and possibly see the end of a long running battle or feud. However, you also need the support of those close to you as you could be going in a different direction and your creative juices are flowing. It is so easy to not hold fast to the dream when cold reality hits and it's important not to let anyone talk you out of something that is special to youeven though you cannot see exactly how it will all turn out. Later this month, you will feel truly in your element, by becoming a valuable source of support and help to somebody else or a cuase you feel passionately about.

This month for Libra
The start of the month brings new enthusiasm and energy, especially when it comes to making fundamental changes. You instintively see that certain aspects of your life and lifestyle need refreshing and altering, and whether it comes down to simply making a small change to how you look, to putting your property on the market, you need to have that feeling as though you are finaly getting somewhere. Once you have made your mind up, circumstances will follow suit. Your ruler, Venus, sepnds much of the month backtracking through Aquarius, which is your chart area for creativity and fun, but you are ready for business at the end of the month. This time, any mistakes you have made in the past can be quickly put right once and for all.

This month for Scorpio
Mars has been in your chart area of relationships for quite some time now, and you will more than likely have witness some fundamental changes and challenges in this part of your life. Essentially Mars brings energy and allows and situation that has become stagnant to have new life and vigour into it, sometimes with some amazing consequences! It may not have all been plain sailing, but there has been room for fun too and this can continue. don't shy away from situations that could be explosive as right now you are required to bite the bullet and deal with what comes along. Jupiter is on your side, and although nothing is done by halves at least you get the feeling you are living life to the full

This month for Sagittarius
A bit of a lucky time is in store for you as the Sun links favourably with Jupiter, especially at the start of January. Opportunities are also around although you may not view them as such, as Jupiter and Mars make connections mid month. A clash of personalities can break the ice and let tensions reach the surface. Saturn's influence is getting less powerful, so you may find you are more carefree, and less inclined to sweat the small stuff. The Sun moves into Aquarius on the 20th, when travel, communications and connections are all going to increase for you. It's time to cash in on that good idea!

This month for Capricorn
this could be a month to remember, not just becasue it is the start of 2006 and not because your birthday is around now!. Saturn your ruler, is exerting a powerful influence and since Saturn wants to see steady progress, nothing too flash, and sensible behaviour from you, it can curb your excesses like no other! Not that you've over indulged over the Christmas period (not half) but having a sensible friend to steer you back on course is to be welcomed. As it is you are facing a certain duality, or a cross roads, and you could do with some clear direction; there's only one, and that's the one straight ahead. Funny how procrastination can stop you doing just that..

This month for Aquarius
You have a reputation for thinking outside the box; in fact, it was probably an Aquarian who invented the phrase in the first place since the last place you want to be is boxed in. What is important is that you have the freedom to get on with whatever is taking your fancy at the moment, and you get quite annoyed if someone is stopping you doing just that. You like to play it a bit dangerously, but not recklessly and there' s a difference - call it a calculated risk. Just now, however, the planets are urging you to think twice before you dive in with both feet. Neptune in your sign can make some things tantalisingly appealing, but there's not much substance. Fall in love with the real thing, not the idea.

This month for Pisces
Nobody really likes perfection all the time, and yet at the moment there is a niggling feeling that things aren't quite right. And you'd be right - they are not, nore were they ever meant to be. It's the grit in the oyster that makes the pearl and the pain you are sensing is a way that the Universe has of urging you to make more effort, motivate yourself in a different way and just break the habit that is easy to keep but hard to lose. You know exactly what that is. And now is the time to do it, not just for now, but forever. You would prefer the idea that you were going to win the lottery, but that comes with a price too. Just stop wishing and start doing and you will see it's a lot easier in the long run

Astral Reflections for oct 2 to oct 8
Aries - (March 21-April 19)
Relationships reach a climax, and a new one might begin. Ditto for opportunities in business and personal arenas, relocation, public dealings, negotiations, agreements, litigation - and seeking permission. All these might proceed more slowly than seems reasonable, and/or might promise "huge rewards." These are warning signs, posted on the edge of a quagmire. But if one of these (e.g., permission) virtually drops into your lap, accept it. You might have significant dealings with a Libran - but Librans are in a bit of a "temptation" funk now, so be aware and careful.

Taurus - (April 20-May 20)
Don't volunteer for extra chores or work assignments. There will be a temptation, especially Sunday to Tuesday, to fall back on routine or mindless chores to escape the larger responsibilities (and rewards) of being in charge, of self-examination, even of spiritual "responsibilities." That said, chores proceed with unusual ease Sunday through Tuesday dawn. Relationships will grow a bit sluggish, even boring through September 2007, so contribute an extra smile and cheery word. (Clues about this Tuesday eve to Thursday.) Your life could change, in quiet but beneficial ways Friday/Saturday!

Gemini - (May 21-June 20)
Sunday to Tuesday (and all October) emphasizes romance, creative or speculative projects, pleasure, vacation, beauty or teaching kids. If you meet unusual delays or anticipate huge rewards that you have to keep quiet about at present (e.g., chasing your wife's sister, or selling your husband's Ferrari to buy gold stocks) you might as well nail a sign to your forehead, saying: "doomed." But if love, beauty or other joys drop into your lap unbidden, accept! Work, health are slated Wednesday/Thursday. Marriage, love, relocation, business and public opportunities arise Friday/Saturday!

Cancer - (June 21-July 22)
Accent is on home, family, kids, security, soul, stomach, nature, gardening or agriculture, especially Sunday to Tuesday, when a new domestic project or something lucky could drop in your lap! Accept the luck but beware new projects, big commitments in these areas, especially before October 8. You'll hear news or have a big talk about these things, perhaps Wednesday - make sure solutions are really workable, practical solutions, not "a wing and a prayer." Romantic notions arrive Wednesday (unworkable) and Thursday (powerful, hot, affectionate - or argument!) Work succeeds Friday eve, Saturday.

Leo - (July 23-Aug. 22)
Lots of things occur to waste your time, especially Sunday-Tuesday - calls, details, paperwork, errands, casual gabfests. These timewasters could be distracting you from your main task, even from your main idea, your genius, your true love or true direction. Don't be lulled - keep lifting your gaze to see the big picture. Your home remains sweet, your family affectionate - steep yourself in these Wednesday/Thursday. Friday/Saturday bring a multi-week rise in romance, creativity and pleasure (just as that home-sweet-home trend ends). Be open to love Friday/Saturday - not to casual "friendly romance."

Virgo - (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Conserve money. Cut out unnecessary purchases. Earn money as everyone does, but don't let earnings efforts interfere with "bigger money" - investments, speculative enterprises, "prospecting," can yield far more in the long run than putting in 8 hours at the office. Take a wee bit and put it in something that might grow over 20 years. This particularly apples Sunday to Tuesday. Communications flow smoothly, affectionately (especially Thursday, when love, sex, and/or big money combine with "charming conversations" or uplifting travel). Seek home, soul, Mother Nature and "hidden gems" Friday/Saturday.

Libra - (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Your energy, charms, effectiveness and sense of timing are high, especially Sunday to Tuesday dawn! (People still "glance at you" later Tuesday, but nothing comes of it.) If you aim toward other people, relationships, far or new horizons, opportunities, agreements, contracts, exciting meetings - and if you remain humble - these could be three powerful, benevolent days! Some Librans have experienced down times lately. More and more, you will see the clouds lifting. (Especially after October 8.) Be careful with money mid-week. Friends, travel, newspapers and curiosity pull you happily Friday/Saturday!

Scorpio - (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Rest, lie low, especially Sunday to Tuesday. But don't sink into any sloughs of despair: you should avoid excessive rest, withdrawal and spirituality through June/06. You're going to catch a strong updraft of rising spirits, luck and confidence anyway from late October onward, so hopefully my advice is in vain! Again through June/06, avoid approaching government agencies, institutions, and "head office." Avoid trying to manage others: tackle the job yourself. Your energy rises mildly Wednesday (some problems) and Thursday (hot attraction - or enmity!). Chase money Friday eve and Saturday.

Sagittarius - (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Two kinds of wishes lure you this week - the achievable and the not. The "not" has an unrealistic twinge, or gets you overly hopeful, or is surround by a mental fog, or runs into unusual delays. The achievable centers on love, romance, children, creativity or pleasure. Sunday to Tuesday (8 a.m. PDT) offer a chance to form wishes that might, someday, very much come true. (Especially those formed about noon Monday to Tuesday dawn.) Retreat, avoid competition Wednesday/Thursday. Your energy, charisma surge Friday/Saturday - a "first wish" could be granted!

Capricorn - (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Examine your ambitions, reputation, and prestige relations all month, but especially this Sunday to Tuesday. Subtly unlucky people/projects or prospects arise before 11 a.m. (PDT) Monday. After that, the prospects that enter have a valid chance of being workable! The unlucky ones quietly incur delay, temptation or "misty sight." If in doubt, take a wait-and-see stance. Delay will not hurt you; haste will. Your hopes rise Wednesday (poor results) and Thursday (happy times). Be silent, restful Friday/Saturday, but act on spiritual, health, government and management fronts: you'll succeed.

Aquarius-(Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Legal, educational, publishing, media, religious, intellectual, international and cultural matters are emphasized this month, especially Sunday to Tuesday. A new project could start here. DO NOT be drawn into a lawsuit anytime before June 22, 2006. A new love, a wedding, foreign travel or some other joyful thing could come! It's better if it "shows itself" after noon Monday (especially if it appears around dawn Tuesday). Be reliable Wednesday, cool-headed midday Thursday, on career and parental fronts. Your reward could be sweet this night! Hopes, popularity and social joys blossom Friday/Saturday!

Pisces - (Feb. 19-March 20)
Lust, a major financial interest, a health focus, research, a secret, a subconscious urge that will slowly shape your actions until you have totally changed your life - one of these has drawn you all year, and will until mid-06. I've counseled you to avoid it. But if something NEW arises in these areas from Monday noon to Tuesday dawn, it could be lucky. Keep your eyes shut until midday Monday, then open them wide! Wisdom, love float in Wednesday (misgivings) and Thursday (sweet night). Chase career, business Friday p.m.
