Daily Horoscope for Thursday, January 5, 2006

Moon Alert

Moon Alert: Avoid shopping or making important decisions from 7 a.m. until 10 a.m. EST today. After 9:45 a.m. EST, the Moon is in Aries today.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Keep in mind that it's perfectly normal for you to question everything now. Basically, you're unsure about your future, and what you really want out of life. You want to know how you can have a meaningful job that gives you fulfillment, joy and pots of money.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

You're never casual about money, possessions and owning land. Therefore, make sure you improve where you live by renovating, redecorating or making major repairs -- or buy and sell, or buy for the first time. You need an anchor in the world.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

It's a good thing you like change because you're on the move again! Residential moves and job changes are practically inevitable now. That's OK. You're feeling your way so that you can eventually establish a solid, base of operation.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

At this stage in your life, you're more serious about what you want to do to earn money. You're thinking more about your values. You have to identify what makes you happy, and what really matters in life. (Besides that.)

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

This is a significant time for you! Saturn is back in your sign for the first time since the mid-seventies. This will take you on a whole new avenue where you'll reinvent your life and even your image. But before you do this, you have to dismantle and disentangle some existing stuff.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Since 1994, your life has been going in one direction (sort of). Now you're starting to question a lot. Change appears to be inevitable. Go slowly; but accept the fact that you're going to let go of people, places and things in the next few years. This isn't really loss. It's transition.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Even if you're shy, you're a social sign because you like to have others around. Up until now, you've been pushing for your own career success. In the future, you'll start to integrate with groups --the brotherhood, the sisterhood -- whatever. (An interesting shift.)

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You've been waiting for 2006 for some time. This is the beginning of a 5-year period where you take your power in the world! For most of you, the next few years will be a major career peak. For others, you'll see what isn't working, and you'll split.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You're in training now. Get out your track shoes. Go forward with plans for increased education, travel, or requisite schmoozing to enable you to achieve some long-term objectives. This success is just a few years away. What you do now will pay off then.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

More than any other sign, you appreciate the "no pain, no gain" saying. You know that when the going gets tough, the tough buy Gucci. You understand what builds character. Therefore, if you have to get along with less from others now -- you can handle this.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You're starting to take your power in a major way now. This is a time of breakthrough for your sign. That's why it's hard on partnerships. You have to do what you have to do. You've been hiding (in a way) for about 14 years. It's time to come out of the closet.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

You're going to work very hard this year. You simply can't avoid it. But all this work has a payoff around 2008. It's been said that success is going from failure to failure without a loss of enthusiasm. This year perseverance stands you in good stead.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actress Diane Keaton (1946) shares your birthday. You're an optimistic. You face adversity with positive determination. Your strong, inner strength helps you bounce back from anything. Your courage and willingness to try different things often brings out the best in others. Big changes await you in the year ahead. (Perhaps as significant as in 1997.)
