Weekend, 22 & 23 October 2005

ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
A new discovery fills a void in your life and opens up an exciting opportunity. Just be aware of what is happening around you or you may fail to capitalise on events that are about to unfold.

TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
Destiny lies in your own hands, but you must stop watching from the sidelines and throw yourself into the fray. A project, plan, or relationship that captures your imagination could be the key to future success.

GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
The area of your chart ruling possessions, creature comforts and money comes under review this weekend. If you have been reluctant to spend or speculate, it may be time for a change of attitude or strategy.

CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
Moon poised to enter your sign indicates a fresh start or re-evaluation of goals and tactics. Those things that no longer serve a useful purpose must be discarded and methods, ideas or your image should be updated.

LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
Dare to be different and you may achieve surprising results. The stars encourage you to go out on a limb this weekend and mix with unusual people or take on projects outside your normal areas of interest.

VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
According to the planetary trends, most of you will be strong yet impartial and brave without being reckless. Others are likely to admire your balanced approach to life and may turn to you for advice.

LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
You may have to hold your tongue or refrain from taking action, but you will never shy away from a challenge. The planets encourage you to stick to your resolve without forcing opinions on other people.

SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
What goes around comes around and now is your time to collect karmic debts and pay for past sins. Outcomes look positive for your sign and with the slate about to be wiped clean, many will make fresh start.

SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
Watch your back and be careful what you say. There may be some people in your environment with an axe to grind and others prepared to take advantage of your naivety. Keep your guard up and profile low.

CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
The lunar energy is significant for your sign and sets the tone for improved relationships or the easing of financial burdens. Seize the initiative this weekend and put plans into place to make your life easier.

AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
If the shine has worn off a situation or relationship, now is the time to inject a new lease of life. Vary your approach or expectations and seek input from people whose opinions you value.

PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
The planets provide a nurturing environment in which to live and work. There may be a sense that you can manage your finance or relationships better, or that you are achieving goals set earlier in the year. 

SATURDAY

YOUR DAY
Moon in impulsive Gemini warns of sudden twists and turns, as well as fickle people. Arrangements may be cancelled at the last minute or boredom will set in. Go with the flow rather than trying to manipulate events and life will be less stressful. Those who challenge conventional wisdom are likely to be the biggest winners.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
You may have to remain on the treadmill, but your dedication will pay off. The energy is workman-like, implying there are no quick fixes or easy answers in the months ahead. Instead you will make steady progress until in the end you reach a major milestone.

SUNDAY

YOUR DAY
There may be a lack of depth in the planets, but that will not stop people from taking their responsibilities seriously. The challenge is to find the right balance between work and play, or sustain enough interest in relationships and pastimes to do them justice. Those with a case to argue should avoid using manipulative means.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
Playing the role of peacemaker suits your personality, but it can be wearing. Try taking a backward step in the months ahead and allow others to fight their own battles. Your focus should be on unfinished professional business and personal plans for the immediate future.
