Weekend, 3 & 4 December 2005

ARIES:  (March 21 to April 20)
If you want a clear conscience you should do the right thing by others, but in order to attain happiness you must be true to yourself.  The choice seems simple, but either way you stand to lose. 

TAURUS:  (April 21 to May 21)
With everyone wanting a piece of you, expect to be pulled in several different directions.  In order to keep the peace, you may have to divide your time between the people you love and those who are needy. 

GEMINI:  (May 22 to June 21)
Whether you are looking for a pal or sparring partner, you should pick your companions and battles carefully.  Everyone will have his or her own agenda and it may be difficult to attract attention or stir up debate. 

CANCER:  (June 22 to July 23)
If a task seems daunting, break it down into smaller segments.  By solving problems as they arise rather than borrowing trouble, you will be more productive and less stressed.  Ask a friend to help you formulate ideas. 

LEO:  (July 24 to August 23)
The planets provide a wake-up call and a person or situation you have been taking for granted, may begin to slip from your grasp.  Show others you care, take responsibilities seriously and count your blessings. 

VIRGO:  (August 24 to September 23)
You may have run out of steam or motivation, but with the planets gathering momentum a much-needed boost of energy will be injected soon.  Think of ways to restructure or simplify your daily routine and reorganise finances. 

LIBRA:  (September 24 to October 23)
A not-so-subtle hint may bring you back down to earth and open your eyes to a mistake you made in the recent past.  Remember that not everyone thinks like you and be prepared to apologise or compromise. 

SCORPIO:  (October 24 to November 22)
Your senses will be heightened, making you more vulnerable to manipulation but also allowing you to judge situations at a glance.  Keep ruthless people at bay this weekend and mix only with those you consider kindred souls. 

SAGITTARIUS:  (November 23 to December 22)
A battle between duty and desire could turn into an emotional tug of war.  Think about what you want rather than allowing others to call the shots or undermine your authority and self-worth. 

CAPRICORN:  (December 23 to January 20)
As much as you dislike disruption, last-minute changes will actually work in your favour.  There are some welcome developments happening around your sign, so sit back and allow events to unfold at their own pace. 

AQUARIUS:  (January 21 to February 19)
Be gentle but firm with the people around you.  If you bend over backwards trying to please everyone, there will be no time left to fulfil your own needs.  Finding the right balance may prove your biggest challenge. 

PISCES:  (February 20 to March 20)
Your words or actions may offend the faint-hearted, but confident people will admire your decisive approach.  The message for your sign is fairly straightforward.  Look after your own happiness and it will have a domino effect. 

SATURDAY
YOUR DAY
Moon moving into Capricorn is a good foil for Sun in Sagittarius.  Rather than being tempted to act first think later, most people will take a common sense approach to decisions.  Pent-up energy should be channelled into outdoor activities or physical exercise, while niggling doubts can best be dealt with through direct dialogue.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
You will wield more power, but must use it constructively.  Take others under your wing and lead by example, as it may take a while to get your message across.  There may be struggles in personal relationships, but if you keep the lines of communication open agreements can be reached. 

SUNDAY
YOUR DAY
Working out the pros and cons of situations before making decisions or commitments will help achieve better outcomes.  Moon in practical Capricorn urges people to negotiate cannily and to play their cards close to their chest.  Feelings and desires should be put aside today for the good of a common or worthwhile cause.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
Restless urges may see you making impulsive moves or being inconsistent in relationships.  Variety is the key in the next twelve months and rather than making wholesale changes, you would be better to interact or focus in short bursts.  Take regular breaks from your usual routine or environment.
