Horoscopes: Weekend, July 4 & 5

ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
You see light in dark places. It takes a great deal to bring you
down but cheering up others is not easy this weekend. Keep your tone
positive and point out the good in life to pessimistic people.

TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
An opportunity lands in your lap. Management and good luck play a
part in events but it's your quick action that helps seal any deal.
Rub shoulders with influential people for extra good fortune.

GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
Playing favourites gets what you want. Moon in the alliance sector
places you front and centre of events but it's your wow factor that
draws others in. Meeting your objectives has rarely been easier.

CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
Your liberal attitude makes others to feel comfortable in your
presence. Mercury, the thinking planet, helps you produce ideas from
left-field and put messages across in convincing ways. Cash in while
you can.

LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
Burn off pent-up energy by spreading yourself around. Mixing with a
variety of people and engaging in fun-filled pastimes helps improve
your quality of life. Relationships and your health also benefit.

VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
If you are emotionally overloaded take a breather. Fun or physical
activities are the key to your revival but it's also okay to relax
and recharge flagging energy. Allow others do their own thing.

LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
The probability of victory is currently high. Wherever there is a
gathering of people or a worthy cause you excel and bring a unique
touch to events. Your bright ideas fused with self-motivation serve
you well.

SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
Arrangements run smoothly and relationships go according to plan.
Mercury the strategist moves into your social sector where it aids
and abets all you do. Popularity and self-confidence soar at this
time.

SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
Keep the end goal in mind and never look back. Moon in your sign
serves as a timely reminder that history cannot be rewritten and
energy must be channelled into future plans. Move forward with
purpose.

CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
You are resolute and refuse to take no for an answer. Blame your
stubborn actions on Moon in the thought zone but bear in mind others
may be offended by the stance you take this weekend.

AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
An increase in popularity feeds your ego. You feel justified about a
recent decision and appreciate the positive feedback that comes your
way. Others make no bones about the admiration they feel for you.

PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
The finesse you show is admired by associates. Slick stars work to
advantage and you get a jump on people or events throughout the
weekend. Your face, language and gestures give nothing away.

SATURDAY
YOUR DAY
Mercury, the planet ruling thought patterns, moves into perceptive
Cancer. It is easier now to interpret the meanings behind the words
and body language of others. Storytelling is entertaining in this
cycle.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
Tap into your practical side and grab potentially rewarding
opportunities. Hard work breeds success, while a grounded approach
to relationships helps maintain harmony at home and socially.

SUNDAY
YOUR DAY
Knowledge is power today. Those who absorb information and use it
wisely are the big winners. People with a penchant for lording it
over others should be taken with a grain of salt.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
You leave your comfort zone and trust your luck in the outside world.
Priceless memories are on offer in the year ahead and the best life
lesson is personal experience. Take the lead.
