Don't be surprised if you find yourself identifying with your money and your possessions. Actually, this feeling will increase for the rest of the year. The trouble is that you feel what you have is what you are. (Not!)
With Mars in your sign until Feb., you're definitely going to be much more of a fighter for your rights than usual. This might not be a bad thing. You often play the nice guy, and sometimes you have to assert yourself more. Fortunately, your physical energy level will be gangbusters!
It's a tricky thing (and I'll be here to remind you as the year progresses) that as Mars sits in Taurus for the next six months, it makes you question yourself. Past behavior patterns (long forgotten) are suddenly back in the picture. What? This again? Be gentle with yourself.
There's a good likelihood in the months ahead, that you'll be more involved with groups, organizations and friends. You might even be physically active with a group activity of some sort. (Boating? Rowing? Gardening? Cooking?) It will be something you want to do.
Your ambition is definitely aroused now. It's going to stay this way for the rest of this year. In one way, this is a good thing. When you want something, you'll go after it. On the other hand (you have different fingers) conflict with authority figures is more likely. Oops.
You feel increasingly stronger about certain opinions, philosophies, beliefs and ideas that you have. Extenuating circumstances in your environment and the world around you seem to trigger this. It's good to have beliefs. It's also good to respect the beliefs of others.
Your passionate nature is definitely aroused now. You might expect a lot from romantic partners. New romance is likely for many, and existing relationships will definitely heat up! It's important not to expect too much from one frail mortal. "There's no-one here but us chickens."
Although your ability to compromise is still with you (this is good) you're not afraid to assert yourself with partners now. In fact, close friends might be surprised at how forthright you are! It's okay to air your grievances, if you do it clearly and calmly. (In a civilized way.)
You're definitely prepared to work hard now. The only catch is you want credit for what you do. Of course, this is natural and logical; but in the real world it's not always possible or even likely. (Life is unfair.) There are many heroes who go unrecognized - daily. Sigh.
Love, romance, parties and social times are going to keep you busy for the rest of the year! You feel playful, energetic and prankish. You want to have a good time. Your creative energies are strong too. These wonderful qualities stay amped for the next six months. Ole!
Tension with family members is likely now and for the next few months. This could be due to renovations, residential moves or just plain domestic conflict. Since this is something that is almost inevitable, learn to deal with it with grace, patience and understanding.
Now and in the next few months, you'll notice that you identify with your ideas very strongly. In fact, this tendency continues right into next year. This is all right as long as you don't try to convince everybody else to agree with you. (And this is definitely your temptation!)
Author Bharati Mukherjee (1940) shares your birthday. You have poetry in your soul: many of you are musical. Even though you have high standards, you generally tackle many activities at once. (This amazes others.) You're generous with people; but at the same time, you know how to manage your money well. Work hard this year. Your rewards will be apparent in 2006-07.
