Weekend, 9 & 10 July 2005

ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
With the accent on pleasure, leisure and romance, you will probably spend more and burn up plenty of energy. The quality of your relationships could improve and you may learn something new or receive an unexpected bonus.

TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
There may be so much happening that you go to into emotional overload. Put priorities into proper perspective and learn how to say no to people. The advice of a friend or family member may be worth heeding.

GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
You will have a marvellous ability to cut through problems, but your patience could wear a little thin with someone who is indecisive. The fact not everyone thinks like you could be the source of all your frustrations.

CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
Whatever decisions or commitments you make over the weekend, chances are they will have positive outcomes. In direct contrast to recent confusion and misinterpretation, there is likely to be greater clarity in all areas of life.

LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
Keep the positive end goal in mind and a tedious task will become more bearable. Moon in your sign may drain optimism or your energy levels, but anything worth having this weekend is worth working for.

VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
Your mood may be sensitive, but this is balanced by greater awareness and heightened intuition. You will have an uncanny knack for knowing what others want and can offer advice to those trying to fulfil a dream.

LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
An increase in your popularity or appreciation shown by loved ones will boost your flagging self-esteem. There may a group project that takes up time and energy, but it will be a great source of satisfaction.

SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
You will gradually begin to feel at ease with someone who you have shared a troubled relationship with in the past. The planetary line up helps bring about greater understanding, an emotional healing, or long overdue reunion.

SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
You may be brimming with enthusiasm and ideas, but your ability to turn them into practical reality could be a sticking point. Turn to someone who is clever or outgoing and follow that person's advice or lead.

CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
It may appear things fall into your lap this weekend, but there could be a financial, physical or emotional price to pay later. Be suspicious of schemes, offers or relationships that seem too good to be true.

AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
Try not to play favourites or suppress your emotions this weekend. Planets in the partnership sector of your chart encourage you to speak from the heart, follow your dreams and treat everyone you mix with as an equal.

PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
You may feel emotionally vulnerable or personally overawed over the weekend. However, the mood will quickly pass as you gain a better understanding of yourself or a loved one. Learn to face your demons head on.

SATURDAY

YOUR DAY
Moon in Leo brings out the bossy nature some and helpful traits in others. Flamboyant types will revel in their time in the limelight, but more apprehensive people may prefer to lurk in the background. The lunar energy is both buoyant and charming, and even the introverts will have more to say. Expect there to be more leaders than followers.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
As you look back on the progress you have made over the last twelve months, you will marvel at the results. Now you can put lessons to good use by making daring moves and ambitious plans. If you have been contemplating a career move or relocation, the timing is ideal.

SUNDAY

YOUR DAY
The planetary mix sets the scene for spontaneous social events, artistic pastimes and fun-filled activities. In addition, relationships are likely to be free flowing and there will be less competition between people. Let out the inner child today, shed those inhibitions and learn to in the moment. Mistakes may be made at times, but you will learn from them.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
A difficult situation eases and you will feel happier about who you are as a person. Rather than allowing others to dictate terms or make you feel inferior, you will confidently address issues and reassess relationships. If your health or wellbeing has been compromised, you will gradually regain strength.
