Weekend, 18 & 19 March 2006

ARIES:  (March 21 to April 20)
Controversial issues or subjects may arise, but you will be prepared to enter into debates and make bold statements.  You could also be inclined to dig your heels in and will not be easily swayed by others.

TAURUS:  (April 21 to May 21)
Although the planets are sociable, you may be more confident and comfortable in small gatherings.  The most invigorating way to spend your time will be in the company of people who are optimistic, funny and even intense.

GEMINI:  (May 22 to June 21)
You may have to bite your tongue even though you have plenty to say.  By next week the energy will flow freely, but in the meantime the less said the better.  Siblings or friends could cause problems.

CANCER:  (June 22 to July 23)
Contentious issues could arise, but you will handle them by retreating into your shell.  However, because the energy is generally compatible you may be quite at ease making your own decisions and spending some time alone.

LEO:  (July 24 to August 23)
If you recently lost faith in someone you thought you knew well, perhaps now is a good time to start re-establishing trust.  Nobody is perfect and most people deserve a chance at redemption.  Move ahead cautiously.

VIRGO:  (August 24 to September 23)
You may have wandered slightly off your chosen path, but powerful energy provides the motivation to get back on track.  Moon in your communication area opens the door for discussions and greater co-operation with loved ones.

LIBRA:  (September 24 to October 23)
Your attitude towards money may reverse, with the spendthrifts cutting back and misers splashing out.  This turn about could be brief, but the change in buying habits will bring a sense of satisfaction or pleasure.

SCORPIO:  (October 24 to November 22)
Moon in your sign during the weekend puts the emphasis on nurturing and may help bring closure to a situation before starting something new.  You may reflect on a past mistake and vow never to repeat it.

SAGITTARIUS:  (November 23 to December 22)
Patience and persistence may not be strong points, but you will give a difficult situation your best shot.  And while pleasure might be uppermost on your mind, problems are likely to pop up unexpectedly.

CAPRICORN:  (December 23 to January 20)
Make the most of the compatible energy as the Sun's impending transition could throw a spanner in the works.  A cycle will end soon and as you tie up loose ends, you must prepare for bigger challenges.

AQUARIUS:  (January 21 to February 19)
You may feel disillusioned or confused, but a balance of relaxation and exercise will help boost your spirits.  With the powerful Sun poised to enter fiery Aries, the pendulum is about to swing your way and rekindle enthusiasm.

PISCES:  (February 20 to March 20)
It may be best to pre-empt problems and take the initiative in discussions.  You have the might of Moon and Jupiter on your side, making it easier to stay one step ahead of others and anticipate situations.

SATURDAY

YOUR DAY
Lavish ideas and passionate emotions could see people going to extremes.  There may be a reluctance to give in or admit defeat and a battle of wits is likely to ensue.  The best antidote would be to stop and think before running off at the mouth or throwing money around.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
Something you have resisted strongly may have to be accepted.  Either your options or willpower will run out or accepting the inevitable may be the only course of action.  Once move is made you will soon see the benefits and your image could change in the process.

SUNDAY

YOUR DAY
Rather than attempting to change other people, be prepared to adjust your own attitude or plans.  Compromise may not be easy to reach, but unless someone gives in an impasse is the only other option.  Avoid emotional drama and channel energy instead into tasks that require focus and perseverance.


YOUR BIRTHDAY
You may feel luckier, more at peace or emotionally secure.  An offer taken up in the first half of the year should bring rewards by November, provided you choose options carefully and follow your heart.  And getting out and about will help boost energy and confidence levels.
