ARIES:  (March 21 to April 20)
Play a hands-on role during those special occasions, but let others entertain you as well.  Planets in your sociable sector provide a spark of excitement in relationships and ensure you finish the year on a positive note. 

TAURUS:  (April 21 to May 21)
Time-honoured traditions
and familiar faces provide a strong sense of belonging over the holiday weekend.  You may feel torn in two at times, but you should be flattered that so many people enjoy your company. 

GEMINI:  (May 22 to June 21)
The energy is quirky, but you thrive on variety and will feel totally at ease.  If plans chop and change, take on the role of leader and keep others up to date.  Interesting people enter your orbit. 

CANCER:  (June 22 to July 23)
Arrangements may be changed to suit others, but flexibility is your strong point and you will cope well with sudden disruptions.  Many of you will look back on the year and feel pride in your achievements. 

LEO:  (July 24 to August 23)
The chemistry between people will help make a special occasion even more memorable.  And despite feeling pressed for time, you may be pleasantly surprised by the amount you accomplish and the feedback you receive from others. 

VIRGO:  (August 24 to September 23)
Despite your strong sense of self, you may feel something is missing during this festive weekend.  Several of the planets are working in your favour, but nonetheless a person or situation will tug at your heartstrings. 

LIBRA:  (September 24 to October 23)
With Moon in your sign you will be at your intuitive best and aware of what others need.  There may be some underlying tension within your close-knit circle, but you will manage to rise above it. 

SCORPIO:  (October 24 to November 22)
You will have the ability to think positively despite tensions in the air.  Someone may try to steal your thunder or will put an extraordinary spin on an unpleasant situation.  Take the good with the bad. 

SAGITTARIUS:  (November 23 to December 22)
Despite being part of a crowd or happy festive occasion, you may wish you were elsewhere this weekend.  It will be difficult to put your finger on what is wrong, but true happiness could elude you. 

CAPRICORN:  (December 23 to January 20)
Instead of throwing out subtle hints, be upfront about what you think or desire.  You are likely to be among people who love you unconditionally and should feel free to speak from the heart. 

AQUARIUS:  (January 21 to February 19)
You will have a wonderful creative touch, a voice of reason and an ability to put others at ease.  Events may be chaotic or unpredictable at times, but you will feel a sense of happiness and optimism. 

PISCES:  (February 20 to March 20)
Well-meaning people may draw you into their circle, but you will probably prefer to pick and choose your company.  If you yearn for something or someone from the past, try to accept that nothing stays the same. 

SATURDAY
YOUR DAY
The lunar energy is harmonious and the solar power quite practical.  This is a great combination for bringing people together for a common cause and achieving shared objectives.  However, it would be wise to keep the discussions on a light-hearted level and avoid making judgements about those who cannot defend themselves.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
Take time out to re-evaluate the direction you are heading in.  2006 could see you letting go of someone in your life or changing a situation to suit your needs.  You may feel sad on occasions, but an underlying sense of anticipation propels you forward. 

SUNDAY
YOUR DAY
Sociable planets merge with serious ones, making this the perfect day to celebrate but in a fairly formal way.  People will be both practical and creative, and even the most challenging tasks can be completed in a uniquely special way.  Put grievances aside today and make an effort to unite loved ones.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
You may suddenly get serious about a goal or relationship and will happily make long-term commitments.  Be sure to factor in contingency plans though, as you may not be successful with a venture first time around.  Perseverance and pragmatism will be your greatest assets in 2006.
