Today's New Moon will fill you with enthusiasm and excitement about your prospects for 2006. Be adventurous and prepared to take chances in the year ahead, especially if you're usually rather conservative and timid. Maybe you should arrange a holiday so you have something to look forward to, or perhaps it's time to study a subject that has always intrigued you. Having plans like these will mean you celebrate New Year's Eve with even more energy than usual. Fabulous colours are shimmering gold and iridescent blue. Lucky numbers are 13 and 63.
This is always an expensive time of year, so it's important that you keep track of everything you've spent so far. This may be a prospect that fills you with dread, but it's much better to get it out of the way now than to ignore it and then have a nasty surprise later on. You could also be overwhelmed by strong feelings for a certain person now, whether you're experiencing love or loathing. Favourable colours are grapefruit and plum. Lucky numbers are 24 and 12.
As 2006 approaches it's time to start thinking about your plans for the future. Write down ideas in case you forget them, or discuss your thoughts with someone who'll listen without passing judgement. This is also a fabulous day for getting together with friends, especially if you haven't seen them for a while. You'll have a great time catching up on all your news. Ideal colours are spring green and brilliant white. Lucky numbers are 38 and 3.
Things have been going really well recently, but you encounter a few snags today. Someone's throwing a spanner in the works, perhaps by refusing to give their consent to something or simply by being bloody-minded. Don't waste your time trying to reason with them while they're in this mood; it will only make them worse. Empowering colours are coffee and russet. Lucky numbers are 8 and 5.
It's a fantastic day because you're radiating bonhomie and magnanimity, so all your relationships flow smoothly and happily. You're also feeling very patient and tolerant, and are willing to overlook someone's bad behaviour if necessary. However, it's unlikely that anyone will blot their copybook like this because you have a tendency to bring out the best in them right now. Positive colours are tangerine and jade. Lucky numbers are 16 and 43.
If you worked hard yesterday you'll enjoy putting your feet up and letting someone else take over today. You're much more interested in having some interesting conversations and, preferably, in having a change of scene at some point. Get out for a walk or jump in the car and go for a drive, otherwise you'll start to feel slightly bored and stale. Favourable colours are scarlet and ivory. Lucky numbers are 21 and 64.
You're in a very good mood and you want to make sure that everyone has a really great time today. This shouldn't be difficult, because once again your intuition is working well and you have a good idea of how loved ones are feeling. If you've been left in charge of the kitchen, write down everything you have to do so you don't forget something essential. Beneficial colours are holly red and dark green. Lucky numbers are 5 and 53.
Your imagination is working well today and so are your hunches. This means you'll easily tune into other people's moods and be able to gauge how they're reacting to you, which will be very useful if you're having a conversation in which you need to tread carefully. But it isn't such good news if you're supposed to be doing something complicated or detailed because your mind will keep drifting unless you concentrate really hard. Ideal colours are caramel and aqua. Lucky numbers are 7 and 4.
Stay calm and don't panic. You're suddenly aware of all the things you still need to do before the big day on Sunday, and you can't help getting in a state about them. But you won't achieve anything if you start chasing your own tail or wasting your valuable energy by getting annoyed, so take a few deep breaths and then tackle the most urgent tasks first. Maybe you should ask someone to lend you a hand? Fortunate colours are ginger and mushroom. Lucky numbers are 38 and 52.
You're feeling good, and you want everyone to know it. What's more, you want everyone around you to feel equally cheerful, and you'll do your best to get them laughing and joking.

Uplifting colours are pale gold and purple. Lucky numbers are 36 and 1.
You're filled with a sense of adventure and optimism from today, and this happy state of affairs will continue until late January.

Some great opportunities are just around the corner, so make sure you're ready for them when they arrive otherwise you'll miss out on them. Ideal colours are raspberry and turquoise. Lucky numbers are 12 and 55.
How are your Christmas preparations progressing? Don't panic if you haven't got very far because this is the ideal day for getting yourself organized.

Write lists so you don't forget anything vital, and look in your kitchen cupboards to see if you're running out of any items that you'll need over the holidays. Practical colours are navy and tan. Lucky numbers are 6 and 23.
It will be quite a day if you're easily shocked, because a certain person will say or do things that are enough to make your hair curl.

Call their bluff and remain impassive! Inspirational colours are mulberry and silver. Lucky numbers are 11 and 44.
You long to make emotional contact with others today and you'll feel cheated if this doesn't happen.

However, if you're on your own you'll become quite needy, and may also feel rather sorry for yourself. Expressive colours are peach and dark gold. Lucky numbers are 40 and 61.
It's a strange day because you're torn between optimism and pessimism. You feel that you're caught between people who are pulling you in these two differing directions, and that you're stuck in the middle and unsure of what to do for the best. Perhaps you can't do anything right now except wait until you're in a better position to reach a decision or declare where you stand. Ideal colours are mauve and sienna. Lucky numbers are 36 and 45.
Get ready for some intense and profound experiences that will make you think twice today. For instance, you might have an extremely thought-provoking conversation with a close partner, in which you gain a greater understanding of one another or your relationship becomes even more intimate than it was before. If a partnership has hit the skids, this could be when you decide that it has to change in some way. Favourable colours are crimson and charcoal. Lucky numbers are 16 and 47.
The next few weeks are ideal for keeping on the right side of people who are more powerful or influential than you. This doesn't mean you have to be ingratiating towards them, because that would be a bit of a giveaway, but it won't hurt to chat and be pleasant to them. So if you're going to the Christmas party at work, make an effort to talk to your boss or supervisor. Ideal colours are plum and apple blossom. Lucky numbers are 9 and 27.
It's time to sort out your finances, especially if you're worrying about how you're going to afford to buy everything that's needed for the forthcoming festivities.

Beneficial colours are sky blue and raspberry. Lucky numbers are 17 and 19.
If possible, you should give yourself a complete change of scene today because this will give you renewed energy and zest.

You're looking for some sort of escape from reality, but try not to choose anything too extreme. Beneficial colours are silver and maroon. Lucky numbers are 30 and 42.
Your thoughts will take a serious turn for the rest of the month. Rather than accept simplistic arguments and woolly-minded explanations, you'll want to get right down to the nitty-gritty of the situation, even if this makes everyone else feel uncomfortable. However, bear in mind that you may uncover some difficult facts in the process, so proceed with care. Auspicious colours are apricot and avocado. Lucky numbers are 29 and 39.
You're feeling very indulgent and lazy today, and the very thought of work is enough to make you want to go back to bed! Your idea of heaven is to have a long lie-in, followed by a gigantic meal, and then a cosy time with some of your nearest and dearest. If you're supposed to do something urgent or strenuous, find any excuse under the sun to avoid it. Liberating colours are mango and charcoal. Lucky numbers are 19 and 30.
Give yourself a treat and spend some time with someone special today. Ideally, it should be just the two of you, preferably somewhere private so you don't have to worry about anyone overhearing what you're saying.

Put on your party clothes and head for the nearest gathering. You're in a highly sociable mood, so it would be a shame if you couldn't express it properly.

Dynamic colours are electric blue and iridescent green. Lucky numbers are 20 and 22.
There are problems around freedom of expression today. Maybe you object to what someone is saying or feeling, or it's the other way around and they're trying to censor you. Either way, the most likely outcome will be a nasty atmosphere, leading to a row if it's allowed to continue. It seems it's time for a mini showdown. Auspicious colours are spring green and chocolate. Lucky numbers are 21 and 19.
Even if you don't usually consider yourself to be psychic or particularly sensitive, nevertheless you're completely tuned into other people today. You may find that you know what someone's going to say before they open their mouth, or that you raise the very topic they've been nerving themselves to mention. So trust your instincts! Beneficial colours are pastel pink and dark gold. Lucky numbers are 21 and 3.
You're feeling industrious and organized, so get cracking on tasks and jobs that need your careful attention. It's a marvellous day for thinking ahead and for tackling anything that might get forgotten in the run-up to the festivities. Pay particular attention to joint financial matters, such as a shared bank account, or anything connected with red tape. Favourable colours are mandarin and avocado. Lucky numbers are 15 and 64.
Someone has a powerful desire for freedom, and woe betide you if you appear to be holding them back in any way. You may have to bite your lip and let them do things that you dislike or don't approve of, rather than risk alienating them or making them rebel against you. However, it will be difficult not to say or do exactly what you want, and hang the consequences. Fortunate colours are crimson and indigo. Lucky numbers are 32 and 16.
An aura of charm surrounds you today, so make the most of it while it lasts. If you need to have a tactful word in someone's ear and have simply been biding your time, now is the right moment. Or if you've been plucking up the courage to ask someone out, it's now or never. Don't panic, lovely Bulls, because you'll come through smelling of roses. Advantageous colours are crimson and lavender. Lucky numbers are 4 and 50.
You're feeling supremely practical today and full of commonsense. This is a great combination, and just what you need if you have to sort out a domestic problem or unravel a financial muddle. You'll manage to be matter-of-fact without becoming brusque and you'll state your case clearly so no one gets confused. Fantastic! Favourable colours are ochre and vanilla. Lucky numbers are 29 and 15.
You're full of kindness and consideration for others today, and will go out of your way to help anyone who's in trouble. This could take several forms, such as actually doing someone a favour or simply listening to them as they pour their heart out to you. If you hear about a good cause that appeals to you, you'll want to put your hand in your pocket, even if you can only afford a tiny donation. Fortunate colours are sky blue and russet. Lucky numbers are 13 and 43.
If a close relationship feels jaded or boring and you're taking one another too much for granted, today's New Moon is just what you need to liven things up a little. Think how you can revive the spark that brought you together in the first place, even if it takes a little effort at first. If you're currently single, you may not stay that way for much longer! Vibrant colours are magenta and coffee. Lucky numbers are 30 and 47.
