Weekend September 16 & 17

ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
A situation may seem murky, but a lack of desire prevents you from investigating further. At best you will happily spend time with loved ones. At worst you may withdraw and play the role of hermit.

TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
Your ability to live in the moment helps you squeeze the last bit of pleasure from every experience. And with plenty your favourite things on offer this weekend, the hard part will be making a choice.

GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
You may score points from certain people, but you will feel undervalued by others. Moon in hard-to-please Cancer makes you vulnerable to criticism and prompts you to work harder for approval or acceptance.

CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
Self-talk will be the key to sorting through problems and emotions over the weekend. Moon in your sign induces you to pause, reflect and listen to your intuition before making even the most innocuous decision.

LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
The lunar energy may bring unwanted emotions to the surface at a time when you are trying to remain positive. Face your problems squarely but with detachment and learn from the past rather than wallowing in it.

VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
An opportunity to mix with a different group or expand your interests should be seized upon. With Venus and the Moon smoothing the way, you will be confident in relationships and creative when it comes to hobbies.

LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
Despite feeling you have been taking one step forward and two back, the value of hindsight shows remarkable progress. Keep moving at your own pace and savour small victories rather than worrying about the big picture issues.

SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
If there has been a question mark over a relationship or venture, expect answers to suddenly slot into place. The watery Moon offers insights in affairs of the heart, while earthy planets ply you with common sense.

SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
Watch your back and your tongue, as others may steal your thunder or will misinterpret your meanings. Lunar energy in the furtive part of your chart says there is more to each experience than meets the eye.

CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
Fate may intervene and push you in an exciting new direction. And with Moon blessing your partnership sector, there is a possibility you will team up with a kindred soul either romantically or in business.

AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
A tendency to see the glass half empty can be attributed to fleeting influences and not a permanent change of outlook. Meanwhile it may be in your best interests to avoid people who are negative or demanding.

PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
Hidden forces are at work this weekend and you will either succeed against the odds or be touched by a generous gesture. Your sign more than others has the ability to visualise and create your own destiny.

SATURDAY
YOUR DAY
Consensus can be reached, but discussions are likely to go around in circles first. The energy is subjective and there will be a tendency for people to see situations through their own eyes. A lack of motivation or oomph could also be a problem for some today.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
Your communication skills pick up, resulting in better relationships across the board. And while you grow closer to familiar people, you will also embrace newcomers and possibly expand your social circle. Be vigilant with your weight and fitness levels in the year ahead.

SUNDAY
YOUR DAY
As willpower is an issue today, it might be easier than usual to fall into the trap of self-indulgence. Separate need from desire and bear in mind that too much of a good thing will only bring regrets or repercussions later. Look for distractions or a worthy cause.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
Despite the best of intentions, you may say or do something you regret and will have to back pedal. Slow down and approach situations pensively. Your mission over the next twelve months is to change from the inside and become a better person.
