KEY POINTS:

ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
Doors are opened in unusual ways, allowing you to you move in different social circles. This final weekend of the year brings a change of heart or mind and a desire to let your hair down.

TAURUS: (April 21 to
May 21)
Moon in Taurus places you in the thick of things. And despite energies being drained, there is a sense of emotional satisfaction that has eluded you for months. You have everything to win and nothing to lose.

GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
With your patience wearing thin the temptation is switch off. However despite sometimes feeling isolated, you might actually enjoy your own company. It allows you come back refreshed and more malleable within the context of relationships.

CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
Having the last laugh is your gift from this weekend's stars. A purpose you have pushed all year finally reaches the ears of those previously sceptical loved ones. But rather than gloating you should acknowledge victory graciously.

LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
The atmosphere might be party-like but your preference is for intimate gatherings. However you are at the mercy of others this weekend and will have no choice but to go along with the majority vote.

VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
Big picture issues and grand scale events suit your expansive mood. Even when plans go awry or friends are unreliable, you can wave away problems and compromise. Several compatible planets bring a strong sense of self.

LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
Too lazy to answer complicated questions, you choose to opt out. Despite being a sociable person, withdrawing from the crowd might boost your reserves of energy and patience this weekend. Secondary to that is a need for reflection.

SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
Feeling comfortable in your own skin is the first step towards happiness. And with powerful planets nudging you in the right direction, you move ever closer to reaching a goal or fulfilling a dream. Share with others.

SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
Find a place for everything and keep situations simple. Neatness and efficiency are paramount this weekend and without them life could descend into chaos. Rather than talking, take direct action and delegate tasks to lazy family members.

CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
Let another person's pessimism be a lesson. Vow to see the glass half full and rather than putting up barriers, believe that anything is possible. The lunar energy favours fun and brings interesting people into orbit.

AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
Home, family or friends make demands on your time. However, the good deeds you perform might largely go unnoticed and rewards will be few. The playing field levels next week and you it is then you can offload burdens.

PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
Other people might attempt to steal but will probably fall flat. You have already gained a winning edge and if the momentum continues, success should be yours. A practical approach fuels your efforts this weekend.

SATURDAY
YOUR DAY
Moon in down to earth Taurus keeps the lid on enthusiasm. And while there is a strong desire to do the right things by other, the tempo could be slow. Pride in personal achievements is worth more than either recognition or tangible reward. Keep commitments to manageable levels.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
Itchy feet propel you into new situations. Just remember to do background checks and your homework before signing on. There could be travel for business or pleasure and while variety is your oxygen, all changes must be carefully thought through in 2007.

SUNDAY
YOUR DAY
Plodding planets keeps excitement to a minimum. Unless outside attractions or temptations are strong, most people will happier on home turf and in familiar company. Pleasures shared and problems halved also make life easier today. Take a breather and conserve energy for upcoming events or challenges.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
Events have swung round in your favour. Now you can capitalise by turning past negatives into future positives and playing to your strengths. Loved ones are right behind you, lending both practical and psychological support in ventures that require teamwork to succeed.
