ARIES (March 21-April 19)		TAURUS (April 20 - May 20)
	Starting today, you’ll get serious about making money and spending it. The last few months, you felt a bit like you were sinking in quicksand. (The vast deserts of Visa and MasterCard.) But lo! There’s a light at the end of the tunnel, and it’s not a train. .		Mars is normally in your sign for about six weeks every two years. Through a fluke, it has been in your sign since late July, and it has been retrograde for the last 10 weeks. Oy! Today, it turns direct, moving forward once again to finally leave your sign in mid-February.
	GEMINI (May 21- June20)		CANCER (June 21 - July 22)
	You’ve been troubled with self-doubt and secret worries for about four to five months. Fortunately, you had your other half to talk to. (The twin.) Starting today, you’ll start to rise up out of this swamp of indecision. In about 10 weeks, you’re in the clear!		Difficulties with friends, a group or perhaps one individual have been a bit sticky for some months. It’s time to put your cards on the table. State your case. Defend your boundaries. At least let others know where you stand so that things are clearer.
	LEO (July 23 - Aug.22)		VIRGO (Aug.23 - Sept. 22 )
	You’re starting to get a better feeling about what you want to attain in your career. You can finally see the forest. Start making plans about what you want to achieve in 2006. It will help you focus, and it will help you make better decisions. (Is that Robin Hood?)		Travel plans look exciting. Ditto for plans to go back to school or expand your education and training. Alternatively, others have plans regarding publishing, the media, medicine and the law. All of these areas get a minor boost right now. Start to think positive and expect good things.
	LIBRA (Sept. 23 - Oct. 22)		SCORPIO (Oct. 23 - Nov.21 )
	You’ve been feeling very passionate, especially about your love life lately. (Unless you’re like Woody Allen: “I’m the best I ever had.”) In truth, you’ve been feeling passionate about a lot of things. Starting today, you will begin to sort things out much better. “Gentlemen, start your engines.”		Partnerships and relationships have been tough, ragged and strained ever since late July. Some of this conflict will become more obvious and, ironically, easier to deal with. Be patient because things become much more mellow by late February. Hang in there.
	SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 - Dec. 21)		CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 19)
	You’ve been gung ho to work hard for most of this year. Starting today, you know you really want to accomplish something. My advice is — get down to it. Do as much as you can while Mars is still in Taurus. This placement helps you to work!		This rare long sojourn of Mars through Taurus has benefitted you. Taurus and Capricorn are both Earth signs. This energy made you playful, flirtatious and creative. Starting today, you might want to make vacation plans. You couldn’t pick a better time to do it. Go forth!
	AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 - Feb. 18)		PISCES (Feb. 19 - March 20)
	Ever since July, while Mars has been traveling through Taurus, it has been tough at home for you. Conflict, tension, disagreements and chaos due to renovations, moves and whatnot have taken their toll. Starting today, this starts to phase out. You’ll be free by your birthday. (Yay!)		Today, Mars begins its direct movement forward once again. (In relationship to Earth.) This has the effect of energizing all of your communications. You feel clear, concise strong and bold. And you are! Just keep talking.,
IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY
Actor John Malkovich (1953) shares your birthday. You’re talented and artistic. You want to be a hero to others. Because you’re fiery, daring and bold, you often achieve this status in the eyes of others. You often enjoy shocking people. You’re highly independent. Focus on your closest relationships in the year ahead. Some end, some begin, and others will be enriched.
