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
