Weekend, 23 & 24 April 2005

ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
During this full Moon weekend you could be inclined to blow issues out of proportion and exaggerate your own importance. Be mindful of the way you approach people and think carefully before expressing thoughts or feelings.

TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
A personal problem that has plagued you for months can be resolved in your favour this weekend, but you must remain objective. Put past prejudice and emotion aside, and listen to what others have to say.

GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
A relationship that has either been unequal or on shaky ground will gradually stabilise in the days ahead. However, you must remain vigilant or run the risk of falling straight back into old habit patterns.

CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
Your role may be that of go-between or peacemaker and your work will be cut out for you. With your ruler the Moon reaching a peak, it may be difficult to remain impartial and on top of things.

LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
Although you will be tempted to take the easy way out, honour, integrity or conscience may force you to see a situation through. You will be keen to tie up loose ends and confront difficult issues head-on.

VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
A situation that has been uncertain may become clearer this weekend. Consult with a partner on family affairs, finances and future goals. Investment of emotion, energy and money will reap huge rewards in the months ahead.

LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
If a situation seems overwhelming, you can always draw strength from those around you. The waxing lunar energy acts as a springboard for change, but suggests you may need a helping hand from your loved ones.

SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
As you wrestle with inner demons or suffer from lack of self-esteem, loved ones may be totally unaware of your plight. Moon full in your sign urges you to face fears and come clean about your feelings.

SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
Keep yourself busy and try to avoid dwelling on issues of concern. There are mixed blessings for your sign this weekend and while you may score a victory over someone, you also need to confront a personal problem.

CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
Your concerns about status, reputation or money may consume time today. However, by tomorrow you will have sorted through facts and feelings and may emerge with a new plan of action for the next six months.

AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
Although your conscience may be clear, some of your recent actions and current motives are questionable at best. Make it your mission to repent past sins and vow to be more honest with others in the future.

PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
Obstacles that have been placed in your path can be surmounted with greater ease this weekend. You will emerge triumphant after meeting a challenge head-on and impressing others with your newfound resolve or self-confidence.

SATURDAY

YOUR DAY
Moon in Libra helps keep the lid on festering situations and acts as a calming force in the face of trouble. Discussions and social events will be civilised, and reaching accord with others should be easy to achieve. Usually this lunar phase brings about apathy, laziness and reliance on others, but with the energy almost at a peak many will feel edgy.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
You may need to rest, recuperate and regroup in the first half of the year, ready for a blockbuster finish to 2005. Whatever has been holding you back or worrying you must be acknowledged and dealt with before you can move on to the next exciting stage.

SUNDAY

YOUR DAY
Moon full in the intense sign of Scorpio suggests people will go to extremes today to achieve their aims or rectify situations. The energy is cathartic and if used wisely, lingering problems or relationship issues can be dealt with honestly and swiftly. Just make sure your intentions are honest, your conscience clear and your demeanour calm before you confront someone you love.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
A sudden breakthrough or clarity of thought around an issue may see you making an important decision or long-term commitment. You will have less time this year for superficial people and trivial issues, preferring instead to focus on the big picture. Your business-like attitude will carry over into relationships.
