Weekend, 19 & 20 February 2005

ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
Someone who has been playing a guessing game or refusing to let you into his or her heart, will most likely continue to test your patience. Perhaps you should respond by being equally secretive or detached.

TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
Your level of emotional intensity will increase, making you more passionate than usual about a particular person or cause. If you sense something is wrong, take steps to change it immediately. Success is on the cards.

GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
You may be drawn towards people who are needy and look to you for nurturing. Your sign is not always comfortable with emotional issues, but you will be firmly in touch with your feelings this weekend.

CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
Once you set yourself a specific goal, nothing will stand between you and a successful outcome. There may be a few bumps along the road, but you will ride right over them and forge straight ahead.

LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
While you chip away at the barriers between you and a loved one, take heart that you are gradually regaining trust and intimacy. A conciliatory approach will work best in all relationships over the weekend.

VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
Your view of something may change and you will happily admit you were wrong. This could prove a fantastic boost in your popularity and will help reestablish trust in one of your most intimate relationships.

LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
As you daydream your way through life and vacillate over decisions, others will leave you behind. This is a weekend when you are likely to be playing catch-up with chores, correspondence, and communication with loved ones.

SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
Most of the pressures you have been feeling will ease as gentler and more compatible energy washes over you. Mundane matters can be cast aside as you focus on fun, love and purely pleasurable activities.

SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
You are sometimes wise and occasionally a babe in the woods. This weekend, your naïve side emerges and while you think you are being honest with others, unscrupulous or manipulative types will take advantage of your vulnerability.

CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
You will have a soothing effect on the people around you, making you the natural choice as leader, organiser or mediator. Both the Sun and Moon bless you with charm, easy expression, and an uncanny sixth sense.

AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
You may prefer to set your own terms or agenda, but not everyone will fall under your spell in the days ahead. People may be difficult to pin down or will dither in their opinions and approach.

PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
Sun in your sign is a blessing and gives you the edge over others when weighing up people and situations. First impressions are likely to the most accurate and you will automatically know right from wrong.

SATURDAY

YOUR DAY
Sun in Pisces and Moon in Cancer make the energy emotional and give people an elusive quality. Hence, there could be a tendency for people to withdraw when shy or hurt, or look at life through subjective eyes. Contemplative time alone will help get a grip on personal problems and provide a physical boost. Avoid wasting time on regrets and look towards the future.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
Time to put the sadness or regret from the past behind you and make a fresh start. You are heading into an independent phase and for the best results, must act in your own best interests. If your health, exercise regime, diet, job, or love life are lacking, do something about it now.

SUNDAY

YOUR DAY
It may be difficult to detach from the negative vibrations of others and one-on-one relationships will be easier to handle than big gatherings. The pace is gentle and it would be unwise to exert yourself physically or mentally. Concentrate on spiritual issues, relaxing pastimes, and solitary tasks. Creativity is at a peak, but logical conclusions may be almost impossible to reach.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
Togetherness is important and this year you will fare much better as part of a pair than solo. Normally you love your own space and prefer to keep feelings to yourself. In 2005, that position reverses and you will be both sociable and talkative with colleagues and loved ones alike.
