Horoscopes: Weekend, May 23 & 24

ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
As the remedial planet Venus moves through Aries, emotional and physical health improves. Laughter, good company and a more relaxing
lifestyle are all part of the healing process. Follow your heart's desire this weekend.

TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
Take a fresh look at life with a view to cutting back on indulgence. The lunar energy urges you to think smart and focus on building up a nest egg or getting back into good physical shape.

GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
Take stock of a situation and formulate positive plans for the immediate future. After a fluctuating period of luck and misfortune, the scales of balance are starting to swing back in your favour.

CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
Your passive exterior hides a steely resolve. Because matters of principle take precedence this weekend, people who are disloyal, deceptive or unreliable can expect the cold shoulder from you. Choose your battles carefully.

LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
You set your own terms and lead from the front. The stars align nicely in the area of self-confidence, bringing your qualities of courage and good management to the surface. Communication is also a strong point.

VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
Your biggest challenge comes when you have to resist smooth talking types. Kindred souls are easy to manage but people who spin situations to their own advantage confound you. Be very choosy this weekend.

LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
Social interaction is best conducted with people on your wavelength. Relationships are featured but one-on-one situations are more your style. Remain calm by avoiding group gatherings and noisy places.

SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
Your shadowy side causes you to sulk and hold grudges. To reduce fallout, practice staying quiet in situations that raise stress levels and avoid people who press the wrong buttons. Patience brings its own rewards.

SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
Because your reasoning is so sound, others accept your word. As this weekend's tacit leader of the pack you can expect a loyal band of followers to leave the decision-making in your capable hands.

CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
On the outside a relationship seems amicable but body language tells a different story. The more you attempt to maintain an air of normality, the less likely you are to convince others things are okay.

AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
You sense success is a heartbeat away and speed up the process by enlisting help. Go for people who think outside the square but are able to turn creative ideas into practical reality.

PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
Your lack of direction is nothing to worry about. Get back to basics now and the impending new Moon will reverse your dilemma next week. Reflect on your past as part of the process.

SATURDAY
YOUR DAY
To keep life interesting, add spice to relationships and spring surprises on loved ones. Lethargy can be overcome by taking small steps
and making minor adjustments rather than pushing the boundaries.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
People you turn to for guidance have a profound effect on your life. Lucky breaks are forecast but you must be constantly alert to spot them. Play to your strengths this birthday year.

SUNDAY
YOUR DAY
Lead with your head not your heart. The energy turns cerebral and answers must be based on logic in order to make sense. Double-check facts and information before arguing your case.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
Your wish list grows longer but support and ambition drive you. With hard work, loyal loved ones and an element of luck, life becomes a
self-fulfilling prophecy in the year ahead.
