Weekend, November 4 & 5

ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
Lunar energy prompts you to tackle emotional and material issues head-on. And while you often relish confrontation, there may be little pleasure in dealing with niggling problems. Once a crisis is resolved you will breathe easier.

TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
You may feel restless and ready for change, but know intuitively the timing is wrong. Subtle energies in the most perceptive parts of your chart encourage you to lead with your heart and not your head.

GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
This weekend marks the start of a luckier and more sociable life cycle. If you have been in a romantic rut circumstances may suddenly improve and if finances are worrying you, unexpected help is around the corner.

CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
Keep an ace up your sleeve for those awkward moments when you are backed into a corner. The mostly compatible stars suggest you will emerge a winner, but there could be a price to pay for your victory.

LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
You will benefit from playing situations safe and avoiding risks that raise others peoples' wrath. The lunar energy is electrically charged and it is essential you keep a lid on your emotions and behaviour this weekend.

VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
Play the role of cheerleader, but shun the notion of sacrificing your own happiness for others. There is a limit to how much you can give without expecting anything in return and balance is all-important.

LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
A new broom sweeps clean and creating space allows room for fresh ideas. Shed the dead wood from your life this weekend and let go of worn-out concepts. You will lose little and gain a lot.

SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
There is promise of a breakthrough, but you must be ready to swoop as opportunities are fleeting. People in your circle will be quick to hop on board the bandwagon and support you in a new endeavour.

SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
Success and popularity may seem overrated at certain times, but will be your oxygen at others. Expect bouts of boredom to be followed by stretches of excitement and learn to adapt. That way you will miss nothing.

CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
Despite a tendency to overreact, you will handle situations in a brisk and business-like way. Your competitive spirit may be to blame for the emotional dramas, while sensible decisions can be attributed to innate pragmatism.

AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
As much as it irks you, the time for true confessions may have arrived. Admitting you misled someone with regards to your role in a situation could be both humiliating and liberating in equal parts.

PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
A win/win situation arises when emotional and material security goes hand-in-hand. Comforted by the fact someone is firmly in your corner, the upcoming days provide an opportune to fine-tune plans for the future.

SATURDAY
YOUR DAY
Influential people take the lead while lesser lights go along with the majority vote. It is essential to work within personal limits today, even if that means swallowing pride and following instructions. And in regards to your environs, a place for everything and everything in its place is apt.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
Rather than seeing situations through your own eyes, you will be more objective. Your world looks set to expand and there may be a greater sense of freedom in relationships. Follow through on flashes of inspiration, but take into account the reaction of loved ones.

SUNDAY
YOUR DAY
The brimming Moon in Taurus adds rigidity to routine. There may be a strong expectation that arrangements are adhered to and people keep their promises. To avoid discord in relationships, stick to tried and true practices today and show loyalty to the people in your immediate environment.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
Unusual or inspiring people could cross your path and from each
relationship you will gain or learn something special. In general
your personal life will stabilise in 2007, but in particular your own
role within the family circle may change and bring more fulfilment.
