Weekend, 19 & 20 2005

ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
Mercury marking time in your sign means you may have to put a plan on hold or there will be a setback in discussions. Use the time wisely to research your options or smooth the way with someone.

TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
You may have lost your sense of direction recently, but powerful planets rekindle ambition and inspire a new plan of action. Moon in your communication zone opens the door for greater co-operation between you and loved ones.

GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
Focus on the family zone could bring you closer to your spouse, siblings, children, or parents. Your attitude to money may also change and some of you will consider beautifying your surroundings or perhaps even relocating.

CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
Moon in your sign during the weekend puts the emphasis on nurturing and helps you bring closure to a situation before starting something new. You may reflect on a past mistake and vow never to repeat it.

LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
The balance of power may shift at home or work, providing an opportunity to regain your independence or live out a dream. This weekend indicates a fresh start and as ideas begin to flow, excitement will grow.

VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
Make the most of the compatible energy as the Sun's impending transition could upset your balance. You are coming to the end of a life cycle and can expect the focus to shift as new challenges arise.

LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
You may feel weary, unfairly treated, or unmotivated. Take it easy this weekend and demand nothing of others you would not be prepared to do yourself. Next week the balance of power in relationships swings your way.

SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
It may be best to pre-empt problems and take the initiative in discussions. You have the might of Mars and Moon on your side this weekend, making it easier to stay a step ahead and reach compromises.

SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
Your methods or intentions could cause controversy, but you will not be easily swayed. Some of you may genuinely believe you have the right ideas, but others are simply mischief making by trying to shock people.

CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
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, or physically active.

AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
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.

PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
Contentious issues could arise, but you will handle them without becoming too agitated. The energy is mostly compatible, making it easier to find the appropriate response in each situation. Work off emotion in a positive way.

SATURDAY

YOUR DAY
Moon in water sign Cancer melds nicely with Sun at the tail end of Pisces. Use this gentle energy to tie up loose ends in an emotional situation or to make plans for the next phase in a joint venture. Creative pastimes suit the mood and platonic relationships may be more fulfilling than romantic dalliances. You should also pick and choose battles carefully today.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
Happiness comes in many forms, but the secret is to be proactive and chase your dreams. Don't be afraid to set the bar higher this year as certain restrictions will be lifted and help could come from unexpected sources. Pay attention to health and diet, as more energy will be expended.

SUNDAY

YOUR DAY
The solar cycle is coming to a close and there will be renewed optimism in the days ahead. Changes of heart, mind and attitude are likely, and situations that once seemed doomed for failure could get a new lease of life. Avoid emotionally charged events today and focus instead on putting things in order or spending time with compatible or upbeat people.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
An element of luck comes into play in the months ahead and whenever a situation hangs in the balance, it will most likely swing your way. Just remember to put more into life and relationships in the hope of getting more out. And if spontaneous offer comes up, grab it!
