Weekend, 12 & 13 March 2005

ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
Moon in your sign makes you subjective, but at the same time it heightens intuition and self-awareness. You will have a wonderful gift for getting to the heart of problems and seeing through the pretences of others.

TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
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.

GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
You will wear the mantle of leadership well, taking charge when others opt out of responsibility. Like all true Gemini natives, you crave variety and always keep the wheels of interest turning over for others.

CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
Rather than dismissing a proposal outright, allow yourself time to mull it over and consider the implications. If life is flowing smoothly you may be averse to change, despite the fact you might miss a golden opportunity.

LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
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. Your image is important and you will want to look, speak, and behave well.

VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
In general, your personal relationships may be more satisfying than usual. In particular, someone who intrigues or challenges you will bring out an aspect of your personality that has lain dormant for some a number of months.

LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
If you adopt an enlightened attitude and try to see an opposing viewpoint, relationships will run more smoothly. Bear in mind that people who are progressive thinkers can teach you better techniques and some valuable lessons.

SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
Although you may yearn for the past or paint unrealistic pictures of the future, you will still have the ability to live in the moment. The planets give you the gift of insight and pragmatism this weekend.

SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
Your appetite for pleasure is matched only by your appreciation for the finer things in life. Seek out people who share your ideals and enthusiasm, and put distance between yourself and those who tend to think negatively.

CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
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, have your say and accept the consequences.

AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
Keep the lines of communication open and a shaky relationship will gradually begin to stabilise. Interaction with others looks set to improve dramatically this weekend and you can count on that special someone for support.

PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
You may have more determination than usual along with an uncanny knack for exploiting opportunities. The area that needs your attention this weekend is the financial zone and unless you rein in spending, problems will erupt.

SATURDAY

YOUR DAY
Moon in fiery Aries puts passion into relationships and can turn debates into full-blown arguments. The best way to work off emotion or pent-up energy is through physical exercise and the easiest way to avoid trouble is to steer clear of people who get in your face. Expect some hurtful or outspoken comments to be tossed around under the guise of honesty today.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
You may have to develop a thicker skin in 2005, or at least avoid taking comments and situations too personally. Put your head down and tail up, work hard to achieve your aims, and focus on practical issues. People who are older and wiser will make the best companions.

SUNDAY

YOUR DAY
Moon poised to enter earthy Taurus today suggests a slowing down of pace and a tendency towards self-indulgence. If you want to job well done or a message precisely put across, it is imperative to adopt a hands-on approach rather than placing too much trust in others. The majority of people will dig their heels in when pushed or pressured and an impasse could arise.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
A breakthrough in a relationship, job, physical hardship, or domestic situation, gives you renewed enthusiasm for life. You may feel a sense of relief or restlessness and will move into a new phase that provides greater happiness. One piece of unfinished business should be tied up before July.
