Weekend, 29 & 30 April 2006

ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
Your spirits may soar in the company of certain people, but on the other hand you will have little patience with those refusing to pull their weight. Repay in kind the love and generosity of spirit shown to you.


TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
Try to be sympathetic and pay attention to what others have to say. Your stars suggest a me-first tendency and you must be conscience at all times of the attitude you adopt in certain situations.

GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
Your instinct may be to rush proceedings, but there is more to be gained by savouring every aspect of an experience. You must also make an attempt to find the right balance between work, rest, and play.

CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
While you may feel more comfortable right in the thick of things, circumstances could keep you from enjoying extra attention or activity. Regardless of the way events unfold you will experience a strange sense of peace.

LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
Your state of mind may be affected by the mood of the people closest to you. And as difficult as it might be to keep negative types at arm's length, it will be vital for your own wellbeing.

VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
Despite the fact your tastes and concepts may vary greatly from others, you will make an impression this weekend with one of your creative ideas. Venus gifts you with the ability to visualise and think ahead.

LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
Spend some time mulling over an idea or plan before you put it into practice. You may be tempted to go with the easy option rather than applying yourself in order to achieve the best possible outcome.

SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
Fortuitous planets may bring you into contact with someone who is compatible at least and a kindred soul at best. And whether any new relationship is romantic, platonic or business-like, it looks destined to flourish.

SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
Your challenge this weekend is to pay much closer attention to what is going on around you. Guesswork could lead to failure and lack of awareness may see someone slip under your radar. Expect sparks to fly.

CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
Someone who is sympathetic to your cause or needs could become the ally you have been seeking. Compatible planets remove some of the burdens from your shoulders and help shore up prospects for a more secure future.

AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
Your fuse may be short, making it difficult to tolerate arrogant or foolish people. Avoid rushing to judgement or engaging in a war of words that is more likely to compound than resolve contentious issues.

PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
A tendency to hold emotions at bay in order to keep the peace or protect your heart will work in your favour. You will feel close to people without having to constantly explain your thoughts and intentions.

SATURDAY
YOUR DAY
Because the energy is laid back, motivation may be difficult to muster. Hence it would be wise to stick to favoured pursuits, familiar friends and routines tasks. Also beauty will be in the eyes of the beholder and there is little purpose in trying to convince others your way is best.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
You may be motivated by a need to prove yourself or show your true colours. In one sense the year ahead will be filled with variety and opportunity, but at times you may feel restless, edgy or uncertain of your life direction. Go with the flow.

SUNDAY
YOUR DAY
Unrealistic expectations and endeavours could lead to a waste of energy, money or time. Nonetheless a craving for variety or thrills may motivate people to chase rainbows today. On the plus side, a sense of freedom and lack of inhibition could bring out the best in introverted types.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
A dream or ambition may be realised, but it could bring greater responsibility in the long-term. Fortunately you will be happy to bear extra burdens, especially if the rewards exceed your expectations. Also, a relationship may deepen or an emotional commitment will be made.
