Weekend, October 7 & 8

ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
A situation that has built up a head of steam could finally blow this weekend. But rather than the moment of truth causing conflict, it will actually bring a feeling of relief and allow you to move on.

TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
After months of wondering, the answer to a personal problem may suddenly slot into place. You might be pleasantly surprised by the outcome and will be thankful for the emotional release it brings. Confront fears head-on.

GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
You may hatch a plan that involves co-operation with others and bartering or networking between friends. Recent concerns melt away as you share secrets and burdens with people who want to achieve the same results as you.

CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
Your ruler the Moon reaches its pinnacle, prompting you to exaggerate problems and emotions. Any drama in relationships this weekend is likely to be fed by an insatiable need for attention or because you feel insecure.

LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
Suddenly optimistic, you will see the glass half full and obstacles as opportunities. In fact your ability to put a positive spin on events allows you to turn recent negatives experiences into positive life lessons.

VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
Full Moon madness strikes in your confidential zone this weekend. Rather than trusting others with secrets or believing everything you hear, you will question motives and doubt those who have deceived you in the past.

LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
The challenge for you now is to find freedom within the framework of a close relationship. Just as well you know how to perform balancing acts, because the full Moon requires you to give and take equally.

SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
In your heart you know the writing is on the wall, but that fear of change keeps you clinging on. A full Moon passing through your house of rationale allows you take baby steps towards personal transformation.

SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
Despite a desire to pace yourself and soak up the atmosphere, a sense of urgency propels you forward. Once on a roll, you will enjoy the roller-coaster ride and may profit personally from the variety of experiences.

CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
The full Moon speeds up events in one area of life yet may take the wind out of your sails in another. Focus energies on the things you can change and surrender to circumstances outside your control.

AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
A long-term ambition could come within reach and unexpected encounters may add spice to your social life. There will also be a tendency for people to speak their minds and leave nothing to the imagination this weekend.

PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
Someone's good mood or fortune may rub off on you. And once you are caught up in the excitement, chances are you will make a valuable contribution towards a worthy mission. Speak sensibly and spend prudently.

SATURDAY
YOUR DAY
A full Moon in dynamic Aries unleashes previously pent-up energy. There may be a flurry of activity and ideas, but a lack of attention to detail could curtail outcomes. People will also be inclined to live in the moment today and pay scant regard to rules or regulations.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
Be careful what you wish for and how much responsibility you take on. Slow and steady will suit your purpose in the year ahead, especially now that you have put a taxing time behind you. Loneliness or a lack of direction may periodically bother you.

SUNDAY
YOUR DAY
The lunar energy eases from fever pitch to a more reasonable pace. This allows time to gather thoughts and take on board the opinions of others when making decisions. Trust will be earned today and nobody should be taken for granted or manipulated for personal gain or solace.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
Rather than being a slave to your creature comforts, you will be more concerned with wealth-building and future security. If progress was slow last year, you can expect events to speed up and you will gladly work harder or smarter to achieve ambitious aims.
