KEY POINTS:
ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
Begin your weekend by paying closer attention to the action going on around you. Awareness helps avert embarrassment and takes the guesswork out relationships issues. Sparks could fly if you forget the small courtesies.
TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
Mercury the messenger checks into your sign for a two-week stay. This weekend its influence reshapes your social life and changes the format of domestic routines. Also, advice could come from unexpected outside sources.
GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
A short fuse could see you going off at the slightest provocation. Bear in mind that if you ignore the bait others attempt to lure you with, you have a much better chance of being left alone.
CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
You feel closer to those around you and less inclined to look elsewhere for stimulation. Mercury the planet of communication slips into a compatible area of your chart, eliminating the need to explain thoughts and feelings.
LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
Lacklustre energy provides you with the perfect excuse to opt out of rowdy events. Spending time alone or in the company of a few chosen loved ones means that you can simply be yourself this weekend.
VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
Finding the right sympathetic note without driving others towards self-pitying behaviour requires deft juggling. Perhaps you could try diverting someone's attention away from personal problems and encourage him or her to engage in fun pastimes.
LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
If your first instinct is to rush through proceedings, pause and think about what you might be missing out on. There is much to be said for savouring every aspect of an experience and learning from it.
SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
You feel comfortable in the thick of things and enjoy the extra attention it leads to. Regardless of the way events unfold this weekend you are likely to feel a sense of peace or belonging.
SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
Your state of mind depends on the prevailing mood. If the collective group around you exude negative vibes, you might find it difficult to remain buoyant. But if optimism reigns your disposition should be equally upbeat.
CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
Tastes and concepts vary from person to person. This creates the impression you have more to learn about others and relationships become the big winner this weekend. Meanwhile Mercury gifts you with a touch of genius.
AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
You are not normally a pedant but the existing energy encourages you to pay closer attention to detail. And while you might criticise others for their sloppy ways, you are fair-minded and practice what you preach.
PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
The meet-and-greet planet Mercury brings you into contact with compatible and influential people. You automatically identify with kindred spirits and whether new relationships are romantic or platonic by nature, they appear destined to flourish.
SATURDAY
YOUR DAY
Unrealistic expectations might be placed on people already trying to do their best. The whip-crackers come out of the woodwork, nagging others while simultaneously shirking their own duties. Double standards seem to apply and the scales could be unevenly tipped one way.
YOUR BIRTHDAY
Surprise events might catch you unawares yet also add variety to your life. And provided you remain flexible all year long, there can be no cause for regret or missed opportunities. Travel is also on the cards during this exciting period.
SUNDAY
YOUR DAY
Laidback energy takes the sting out of events today. Half-hearted efforts and ambivalence in relationships could cause some people to give up altogether. Alternatively, if everyone sets his or her own tempo and indulges in favoured pastimes there is pleasure to be had.
YOUR BIRTHDAY
Rather than ending relationships or situations, you keep them up on a symbolic shelf. That way none of your bridges are burnt and you can change your mind at a later date. It also makes you feel less of a failure.
