Weekend May 20 & 21

ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)

TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
You may be determined to have things your way, yet friends and loved ones could have different ideas. In the end compromise will be the key to happy relationships and a free-flowing weekend of fun.

GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
A personal problem may have recently reached crisis point and now that differences have been aired, you can move forward. You are entering a period of greater equality and relationships will benefit from a fresh start.

CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
Others may deem you elusive, but in reality you will probably prefer to act on impulse this weekend. The difficulty may lie in trying to separate thought from emotion and subsequently making sensible decisions.

LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
After a recent disappointment or hardship, the dark clouds are gradually beginning to lift. Life may not change dramatically, but your expectations will more realistic and your ability to cope is strengthened by Saturn in your sign.

VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
Your first impulse may be to interfere in the lives of others, but on second thought you will see value in remaining detached. Despite the best of intentions your words or actions are likely to be misconstrued.

LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
Mercury at a pleasing angle makes interaction with others more congenial and meaningful. And someone who holds a special place in your heart or nurtures your needs may be particularly helpful in the days ahead.

SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
The planets provide bright ideas, but caution against impetuous participation in whatever happens to grab your interest. Listen carefully to advice and suggestions from people who have the power to prevent you from making silly mistakes.

SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22) There is special emphasis this weekend on friends, siblings and short distance travel. Variety is the key to happiness and harmony, so set a wide range of goals and mix with a diverse group of people.

CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
Positive thinking could be the determining factor in the success or failure of a project. If there is even a flicker of apprehension, think twice about participating. Conversely if something feels right you should go for it.

AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
Although you will operate from the heart rather than the head, all signs point towards successful outcomes. Others may try to talk you out of a venture, but you will be confident enough to back your ideas.

PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
Mercury in the domestic zone indicates comings and goings as well as petty arguments. You may be overly sensitive to criticism, noise or bustle and will look for a sanctuary so you can lick your wounds.

SATURDAY
YOUR DAY
As Mercury slips into spontaneous Gemini, the energy converts from cautious to reckless. Decisions are likely to be made on the run and those with glib tongues will probably come off best. If you want things to go your way, present a convincing argument and use charm as your secret weapon.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
Aim for balance and use your trademark tenderness to win others over. A strong desire to establish roots, enjoy quality moments with loved ones or build a stronger asset base could see you juggling time, energy and money in the year ahead. Sacrifice will bring rewards.

SUNDAY
YOUR DAY
Moon in nebulous Pisces slows the tempo and brings an indefinable quality to the day. It will be almost impossible to pigeonhole people or pin them down, but the element of mystery and surprise could also add allure to relationships. Going with the flow is probably the easiest way to survive.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
In complete contrast to recent times, you will either withdraw from the public eye or feel a loved one pulling away from you. There is a sense of sadness, but even as you pine for the past you will also learn from it and toughen up.
