KEY POINTS:

ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
You put more into relationships than you get out without any pangs of
resentment. Leadership is your birthright and it naturally follows
that others turn to you in their time of need. Offer guidance and
encouragement.

TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
If your emotional needs are being ignored, anticipate an improvement
in that area. Past loyalty to loved ones has earned you valuable
brownie points and the pay off could come sooner rather than later.

GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
A rare show of vulnerability endears you to others. Rather than
deflecting criticism through humour, your face tells the real tale of
how you feel. As a consequence, you attract sympathy and help this
weekend.

CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
Down time keeps you sane and provides the perfect opportunity to
indulge yourself. In fact relaxation works on many levels, from
physical recharge to mental detoxification and emotional healing.
Validation from others is not required.

LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
Your first impulse is to verbalise thoughts and feelings. There
might be risks involved with honesty but the payoff is deeper
understanding in the context of a close relationship. Share burdens
and blissful secrets equally.

VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
You make up the rules as you go along but expect others to keep pace.
Stop and think about your actions or risk eroding the trust built up
in a relationship. Ideas must be applied in a practical way.

LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
You know what you want but are flexible. In other words, if others
offer appealing suggestions you are prepared to alter your plans.
Two heads are decidedly better than one at this point in time.

SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
A tendency to worry unnecessarily erodes time and impacts on your
emotional health. Avoid taking the problems of others to heart or
putting yourself under pressure. Time away from the hustle and
bustle might also help.

SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
You are currently an expert fence sitter and master of the
understated comment. This subtle combination works well, allowing
you to fly under the radar and protecting you harm. Expect
relationships to flow effortlessly.

CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
If you are going to put yourself in the spotlight, accept criticism
along with the rave reviews. Perform to your strengths this weekend
and downplay your weaknesses, that way others get to see your
positive side.

AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
Seek out people who have a calming effect on you. Several planets
are agreeably aligned to your sign and steer you towards gracious
social situations as well as like-minded companions. Soak up the
atmosphere.

PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
A propensity to read between the lines makes you privy to the vibes
others fail to notice. Use this talent to keep relationships on an
even keel and put out spot fires. Prevention is better than cure.

SATURDAY
YOUR DAY

Moon in Libra puts the emphasis on etiquette and good manners. Treat
everyone with respect today but try to be sociable at the same time.
Also, keep conversation light rather than attempting deep and
meaningful discussions. Motivation is sadly lacking.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
The teaching planet Saturn moves away from Leo and you are provided
with much-needed breathing space. You might however be cooking up
ambitious plans and will eventually turn your focus to material
matters. Getting ahead is a high priority.

SUNDAY
YOUR DAY

There is greater depth in the lunar energy and people are suddenly
more philosophical about issues. Take situations seriously and
listen intently when others express their needs or opinions. A
tendency to forgive but not forget is evident in relationships.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
You reach a crossroads and despite a preference for maintaining the
status quo, it is clearly time to move on. Changes appear minor at
first but ultimately they make a huge difference to the way you live
your life.
