Weekend, 29 & 30 January 2005

ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
You can count on the love, support, generosity and respect of others, thanks to positive energy in the communication sectors of your chart. There may also be greater equality for some Rams and more social activity for others.

TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
Make sure the reasons behind your actions are ethical and fair. The temptation to twist the truth or manipulate others for your own purpose may be powerful, but hopefully integrity wins out on the day.

GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
The Moon is poised to transit your house of fun, romance and pleasure. Not only will others vie for your time and value your friendship, but also a loving relationship is likely to move to a new level.

CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
Success in the different areas of your life depends upon your emotional state. Remember that negative feelings can turn into self-fulfilling prophecies, while a positive approach will go a long way towards creating positive outcomes.

LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
With Mars in a compatible fire sign, dynamic energy is still being beamed your way. You might team up with a charismatic or unusual person and achieve new levels of intimacy with your romantic partner.

VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
It is important to look at issues in an enlightened way and have more faith in yourself. Your outlook is sometimes rigid, but refreshing planetary energy on the horizon helps give you a new lease on life.

LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
A change of scene will help lift your spirits, but self-motivation is the key to finding a new niche. If you have been recently sidelined by duty or responsibility, expect greater freedom and stability in the weeks ahead.

SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
You may have second thoughts about a situation and will take a different approach. Your life is about to change in subtle ways and with hindsight you will view this weekend as a subtle turning point.

SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
With some wacky and wonderful ideas or antics up your sleeve, you will probably find yourself in the spotlight. Your behaviour is likely to attract attention, although it may not always be for the right reasons.

CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
Due to the lightweight planetary energy, you may be drawn toward superficial, sneaky, or unreliable people. First impressions will probably count for nothing this weekend and you must keep your guard up at all times.

AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
Someone may seek help, but you must remain levelheaded. Idealistic energy puts you in a benevolent mood and you will be a magnet for people those who are genuinely in trouble as well as the pretenders.

PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
You could be inclined toward self-indulgence, but bear in mind that too much of a good thing could be your undoing. Aim for moderation in all things and avoid taking serious matters into your own hands.

SATURDAY
YOUR DAY
The energy is aloof, making it more difficult to reach out to others and get a message across. Rather than acting on instinct or responding emotionally, most people will be inclined to rationalise their feelings and make excuses for their own bad behaviour. There may also be an above-average number of cancellations today as superficial types cancel arrangements when a better offer comes along.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
A sense of adventure motivates you to tackle challenging projects and take a leap of faith into unknown territory. You may yearn to strike out on your own, or you will be keen to travel, study, strengthen your position at work, or mix in new circles. Balance bravado with common sense.

SUNDAY
YOUR DAY
The energy is friendly and informal, making this an ideal time for casual gatherings with familiar people. Communication is a highlight and there may be interesting discussions and useful contacts made today. There is also a strong sense of justice and fair play in the stars, and while many people may be self-indulgent, most will care deeply about the effect their actions have on others.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
You may be less cynical and more trusting in upcoming months thanks to influence of big-hearted Jupiter. A stroke of luck or minor breakthrough mid-year could set you up emotionally or financially, and if a relationship has been on rocky ground you can expect it to stablise then.
