Weekend, 21 & 22 January 2006

ARIES:  (March 21 to April 20)
Sun in your zone of compassion zone makes you more aware of what is wrong with the world.  You may become more community minded and will champion the underdog, but should never forget that charity begins at home.

TAURUS:  (April 21 to May 21)
Several new options may open up, but uncertainty or fear of change could hold you back.  Fortunately, you have the luxury of time on your side and can afford to wait before making your mind up.

GEMINI:  (May 22 to June 21)
Someone may make an unusual request or suggestion that both surprises and pleases you.  And while the energy around you is unpredictable, there are undertones of excitement and an element of danger you will find appealing.

CANCER:  (June 22 to July 23)
Harmony on the home front balances the possible discord socially or at work.  Some of you may find plans are thrown into disarray and you have to think on your feet to come up with new solutions.

LEO:  (July 24 to August 23)
You may be seen as sinner or saint when you meddle in the affairs of others.  Despite being both well intentioned and empathetic, there will be some people who feel affronted and others who welcome your input.

VIRGO:  (August 24 to September 23)
You could be inclined to look at life through rose-coloured glasses during this idealistic phase of life.  As a consequence, you could feel disappointed or let down when you discover the truth about a person or situation.

LIBRA:  (September 24 to October 23)
Keep your mind on the task at hand and ignore the distractions around you.  This is an excellent time to put personal affairs in order, expand your social life or upgrade your appearance and surroundings.

SCORPIO:  (October 24 to November 22)
Whether you are prepared or not, a subtle change in family relationships or your domestic routine is forecast.  There will be plenty of love and affection around you, but you must remain flexible and keep plans open-ended.

SAGITTARIUS:  (November 23 to December 22)
People may be secretive, vague or elusive and it would be best to rely on your own resources than having high expectations of others.  Make plans to suit your needs and consider consensus from others a bonus.

CAPRICORN:  (December 23 to January 20)
There may be some strong-willed people to contend with, making it difficult to get past first base.  Use your wry sense of humour and self-sufficiency to shrug off any petty problems that arise this weekend.

AQUARIUS:  (January 21 to February 19)
Moon in your social zone and Sun in your sign suggests image may become more important, your diary might begin to fill and extra attention could provide a much-needed ego boost.  You are entering a luckier cycle.

PISCES:  (February 20 to March 20)
Some of your notions may seem wacky to others, but success is likely to follow you throughout the weekend.  As you commence a new cycle of personal growth, you will happily accept responsibility for your own actions.

SATURDAY
YOUR DAY
Sun in Aquarius signals a change in energy and encourages people to experiment and think outside the square.  Decisions will be made that are contrary to popular opinion or belief and unusual projects are likely to be adopted.  Romantically and socially opposites will attract, but the flame could quickly burn out.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
You may push realities to the back of your mind and pursue idealistic goals.  And with a little luck or divine intervention, you will triumph over adversity.  People you have lost an emotional connection with could creep back into your heart and recapture your love or attention.

SUNDAY
YOUR DAY
Logical discussions are likely to take place and compromises reached.  There may also be a tendency to live and let live, as Sun in Aquarius encourages fair play in all relationships.  Those who insist on having the last word could come up against stiff opposition and may feel frustrated with results.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
You may win admiration as you prevail over hardship and beat the odds.  Hard work will bring certain rewards in 2006 and if you have been contemplating tackling an ambitious project, the elements should fall into place by March.  The power of positive thinking can also work wonders.
