Weekend May 27 & 28, 2006

ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
People or problems that have plagued you for weeks might suddenly seem irrelevant. The compatible new lunar cycle brings with it a sense of calm, allowing you to detach yourself emotionally from complex or hurtful situations.

TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
Take a fresh look at your finances and lifestyle with a view to making much needed improvements. The new Moon urges you to get smart and focus on building wealth, security and greater intimacy in your relationships.

GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
Take stock of your current situation and devise a positive plan for the future without expecting too much input from others. After a seesawing period, you are about to take an important first step towards greater autonomy.

CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
Your manner may be passive rather than aggressive and as a consequence others will try to take advantage. Remember that this fresh lunar phase is all about clearing the air and looking for solutions. Word statements carefully.

LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
If a recent attempt to make a fresh start or seek forgiveness failed, you can now confidently try again. The new Moon allows for second chances, but advise you take a different approach and show some bravado.

VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
Your biggest challenge could come from someone who is hard to read or on a different wavelength. Moon at the peak your chart suggests you take a tougher stand against those people reluctant to fall into line.

LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
Often uncomfortable with extroverted or emotional people, you could have a change of heart and mind this weekend. Those who are passionate and know how to have a good time should now be embraced or emulated.

SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
Your possessive or secretive stripes are likely to show this weekend. A new Moon in the manipulative sector exposes your tendencies to oppress loved ones and hide your feelings. Your challenge is to let go and open up.

SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
The fresh lunar energy is focused on your zone of mutual interests. Whether you team up with a compatible partner socially, romantically or in a joint business venture, the alliance holds plenty of promise for the future.

CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
On the surface life may seem harmonious, but are you reading between the lines? You may have missed the nuances in a relationship or overlooked important details and now the new Moon begs you to pay closer attention.

AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
Success is only a step away and you can speed up events by enlisting the help of people who, like you, think outside the square. Whatever is on your wish list or agenda is suddenly more achievable.

PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
If you have lost your sense of direction, a special person could help put you back on track. However, you must get serious about following through on promises, goals and personal plans during this fresh lunar cycle.

SATURDAY
YOUR DAY
A new Moon in lively Gemini revives relationships, reduces tension and recharges the batteries. It may be next week before the energy reaches optimal levels, but clever ideas are likely to be generated in the meantime. Situations that once seemed daunting will become more manageable and less important.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
You may have more staying power than in the recent past thanks to Saturn's stoic influence. The positives to come out of the next twelve months could include greater stability in affairs of the heart, a boost to financial security or a reunion with someone special.

SUNDAY
YOUR DAY
The momentum begins to build and an injection of fun helps brighten the day. There may be a sense of emotional detachment in some relationships, but the networking of intriguing ideas and theories will keep life interesting. Socially, people should spread themselves around and vary their usual leisure time pursuits.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
Certain people in your environment will be helpful, while others are likely to prove disruptive. Your greatest challenge could be choosing companions you trust to share secrets with and people you should avoid. Expect to feel restless at times, but enjoy the predicted change of pace.
