Weekend, 11 & 12 March 2006

ARIES:  (March 21 to April 20)
Your appetite for pleasure and lust for the finer things in life are heightened this weekend.  Seek out people who share your standards and ideals, but put distance between yourself and those who tend to think negatively.

TAURUS:  (April 21 to May 21)
You may feel out of sync with your partner or a sibling, with domestic or family issues being the main cause of conflict.  Rather than bending over backwards to please others, speak your mind and accept the consequences.

GEMINI:  (May 22 to June 21)
Keep the lines of communication open and a rocky relationship may gradually begin to stabilise.  Interaction with others looks set to improve dramatically in upcoming days and you can count on that one special person for support.

CANCER:  (June 22 to July 23)
You may have more determination and less compassion than usual, as well as a knack for exploiting opportunities.  Saturn helps you achieve at least one aim that once seemed beyond your reach or made you appear arrogant.

LEO:  (July 24 to August 23)
Moon in your sign obscures the big picture, but makes it easier to see the finer details.  Many Leos will deliberately avoid people or trouble this weekend in order to focus fully on their own pet projects.

VIRGO:  (August 24 to September 23)
The planets blend beautifully to make you feel cherished and in greater control of your own destiny.  Yours is usually a pragmatic sign, but you are operating on more spiritual and instinctive levels at the moment.

LIBRA:  (September 24 to October 23)
You will wear the mantle of leadership well, taking charge when others vacillate or shirk responsibility.  And in a departure from your usual desire for creature comforts, you will happily make small sacrifices this weekend.

SCORPIO:  (October 24 to November 22)
Rather than dismissing a proposition outright, allow yourself time to think it over and consider the implications.  If life is flowing smoothly you may be averse to change, but restlessness could sway you to venture out.

SAGITTARIUS:  (November 23 to December 22)
You may be more aware of the positive impact you have on others and this in turn will give your self-esteem a much-needed boost.  Exciting opportunities to try something different or visit new locations could arise.

CAPRICORN:  (December 23 to January 20)
Generally speaking, relationships are on an upward trend.  In more specific terms, a person who intrigues and challenges you may bring out your softer side or will open your eyes to an exhilarating new experience.

AQUARIUS:  (January 21 to February 19)
If you adopt an enlightened attitude in relationships, your eyes may be opened to way others see the world.  Despite a tendency to think your way is right, you have much to learn from people with opposing viewpoints.

PISCES:  (February 20 to March 20)
Although you may yearn for the past or fantasise about the future, the planets are encouraging you to live in the moment.  Practice putting futile thoughts out of your mind and adopt a cause to occupy your time.

SATURDAY

YOUR DAY
Moon in fiery Leo puts passion into affairs of the heart and turns discussions into heated debates.  However, it also bestows generosity on people and teaches them how to make allowances for others.  Results may be slow in coming for some, but impatience can also be turned to advantage today.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
You will want to build solid foundations to set you up for success in the immediate future.  There is more stability in the stars, and provided you approach situations in a practical way successful results will soon start filtering.  Treat others with the respect you long for.

SUNDAY

YOUR DAY
The energy is up-tempo and people are likely to have blind faith in each other.  This tendency to see life through a filter will help block some of the ugliness, but it is also unrealistic.  Balance optimism with commonsense and take advice rather than rushing headlong into situations.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
A break with tradition may give you back a little of the personal freedom that was lost last year.  There may also be a juggling of roles at home or in the work place and as a result, you will feel like your old self again.
