Weekend, 11 & 12 December 2004

ARIES:  (March 21 to April 20)
The lunar energy is at its lowest ebb, suggesting this is a time for endings rather than beginnings.  Put the finishing touches to projects and plans, but avoid starting afresh until momentum builds early next week.  

TAURUS:  (April 21 to May 21)
A new broom sweeps clean and with a fresh lunar cycle looming, you must make wholesale changes.  Spend time over the weekend weeding out useless bits and pieces, and pondering situations have reached their use-by date.  

GEMINI:  (May 22 to June 21)
The new Moon this weekend falls in your zone of romantic and business partnerships.  If there has been tension, distrust, or lack of desire evident, now is the time to contemplate or discuss all the options. 

CANCER:  (June 22 to July 23)
Your ruler the Moon is about to begin a new cycle and for you this means reorganisation of your routine, timetable, or dietary and fitness regime.  Make a determined effort to improve on past performances. 

LEO:  (July 24 to August 23)
You may feel drained or lacking in motivation, but happier times are just around the corner.  This weekend's new Moon falls in your house of leisure and pleasure, suggesting more romance, social invitations, or emotional satisfaction. 

VIRGO:  (August 24 to September 23)
A tendency to say the wrong thing at the wrong time may be viewed by others as endearing rather than thoughtless.  Fresh lunar energy in your domestic and family sector hints at positive change on the home front.  

LIBRA:  (September 24 to October 23)
The new Moon provides the impetus needed to make changes to your routine, lifestyle, or relationships.  Those who have fallen into a rut or given up hope will see a glimmer of hope in the next few days. 

SCORPIO:  (October 24 to November 22)
A renewal of lunar energy in your material zone inspires you to review the budget, spend on quality items, and indulge in your creature comforts.  After months of soul-searching, many of you will find positive answers. 

SAGITTARIUS:  (November 23 to December 22)
Your annual new Moon signals a fresh start and provides an opportunity to redeem yourself.  If there has been a problem within the family circle, or you have suffered bouts of anxiety, expect marked improvement soon. 

CAPRICORN:  (December 23 to January 20)
Troubles melt away as someone with a generous heart or spirit provides the support you need.  If you have been hitting a brick wall for months with a particular project, rapid progress will be made next week. 

AQUARIUS:  (January 21 to February 19)
People who share your interests or ideals will help fill a social or emotional gap.  Affairs of the heart move up a notch as the new Moon places you in the right place at the appropriate time. 

PISCES:  (February 20 to March 20)
A difficult task or tall order may be thrust upon you, but you will gradually work your way through it.  The renewal of lunar energy later in the weekend makes it easier to achieve ambitious aims. 

SATURDAY

YOUR DAY
The Moon is at its lowest ebb today, making this the ideal time to reflect, relax, and de-clutter.  Engage in pastimes that require little or no physical, emotional, or mental strain, and avoid conflict wherever possible.  A minor or major ending is forecast and new beginnings are inevitable.  Use the small window of opportunity to discuss plans and prospects with friends or family members. 

YOUR BIRTHDAY
You may feel you are on a roll and want to continue with a venture started earlier this year.  Fortunately, you are entering a cycle of co-operation and burdens will be halved, while joys are shared. Family will be important and you may find yourself caring for the needy or less fortunate. 

SUNDAY

YOUR DAY
It's off the old and on with the new today, as a fresh lunar cycle gets underway.  Moon and Sun both in fiery Sagittarius set the scene for adventurous pastimes, risky business deals, raunchy relationships, and revitalised feelings of self-worth.  There is likely to be more movement on the work front and greater freedom within the context of committed partnerships.  The time is also ripe for emotional healing. 

YOUR BIRTHDAY
A timely reunion or opportune encounter provides a much-needed emotional or financial boost.  Ruling Jupiter hovers in the area of group projects, useful contacts, and compassionate causes.  You'll say goodbye to loneliness or lack of support and welcome the opportunity to make your mark on the world
