Weekend, 12 & 13 February 2005

ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
Observe those around you and make note of their needs or moods. Moon in your sign heightens intuition and awareness, and may see you soften your stance against someone who has been a thorn in your side.

TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
Your thoughts may be more aggressive than your deeds, but be warned that if you turn frustrations inwardly your health could suffer. Speak your mind and accept responsibility for the consequences. Others will probably admire your honesty.

GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
Rather than taking your irritation out on friends or family members, release pent-up energy through physical activity. This will not only help settle your emotions, but will also serve to improve your health. Put special plans in place.

CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
Because fate connects you with wonderful and helpful people, many Cancerians may make life-changing decisions in the weeks ahead. You can get the ball rolling by making yourself more visible and projecting a positive image.

LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
Your mood may be mellower than in previous days, but an underlying sense of dissatisfaction or unhappiness prevails. As an antidote, you might engage in risky activities or will express interest in an offbeat subject.

VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
Waves of restlessness may wash over you, tempting you to make changes for change sake. Instead, you should engage in pastimes that burn up excess energy, or amuse yourself with witty friends and family members.

LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
You may have strong feelings about an issue, but will take the path of least resistance in order to keep the peace. Moon in the obliging part of your chart is the catalyst for co-operation and compromise.

SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
Let loved ones think for themselves and make their own mistakes. There could be a tendency for you to hand out unsolicited advice this weekend in a manner that appears patronising to the people around you.

SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22) 
feast of fun is on offer and with the Moon in fiery Aries you will be tempted to burn the candle at both ends. Even stay-at-home Sagittarians may feel restless or will yearn for the past.

CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
our mind may be made up about a particular issue, but someone with a persuasive argument will provide food for thought. Your sign often loves to be in complete control, but you are not completely fixed.

AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
You may be confident to the point of cocky, but will attract admirers like bees to honey this weekend. Venus gives you good reason to feel better about yourself, your close relationships and future prospects.

PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
If you are searching for knowledge or information the next few days reveal exciting new insights. There is a buzz of activity around your sign and coincidence places you in the right spot at the right time.

SATURDAY

YOUR DAY
The energy today is brave, bouncy, and robust. People may vie for control or attention, but there is very little malice in the stars and plenty of enthusiasm. There may be some risky moves made and in most cases the outcomes will be good. A little bit of tact and diplomacy would not go astray, especially when in the company of others.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
You may stubbornly cling to a situation, idea, or relationship, but deep in your heart you know it is going nowhere. The best thing you could do is cut your losses and make drastic changes, however in 2005 you are more likely to ignore advice and defy the critics.

SUNDAY

YOUR DAY
There may be some haste and waste today, as well as the odd silly mistake or hurtful remark. The secret is to stop and think before making statements or moves, and tailor behaviour to suit each individual situation. Some people may make false promises or will act in selfish manner, but overall most can be trusted to act honourably and with due consideration.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
You may have been happily heading in a chosen direction, only to be thrown off course or left to flounder. Fortunately, you are entering a cycle of excitement and will look on change as a challenge rather than an obstacle. Cure restless urges through travel, promotion, or relocation.
