Weekend, September 30 & October 1

ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
You may enjoy being the centre of attention, but should be prepared to accept criticism if your performance is not up to scratch. On a more personal note, loyalty to loved ones is critical this weekend.

TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
Stay in close touch with family and friends, as this is where you will find the most comfort and fun. Your mellow mood may have a positive impact on others and a change of heart could occur.

GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
You may feel restless or dissatisfied with an aspect of your life and should seek a suitable outlet. The insatiable thirst your sign has for variety is often a thorn in relationships and inevitably leads to arguments.

CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
Resist the temptation to cancel arrangements when a better offer comes along. Your popularity may be heightened by Moon in the romance sector, but reliability is important if you wish to maintain happy and healthy relationships.

LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
Your pedantic gene kicks in and you will offer unsolicited advice or seek perfection. Use the compulsive energy constructively to reorganise your own space, catch up on the backlog or tackle chores that require attention to detail.

VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
It may be time to look at a personal problem from a different perspective. With the help of a sympathetic friend or family member, you will eventually come up with an innovative answer or forward-thinking plan.

LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
It is important to take destiny into your own hands and make a tough but necessary decision. If you hesitate or refuse to accept challenges, a rare chance to redeem past actions could very easily go begging.

SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
You will have an eerie ability to weigh up situations in an instant and make accurate judgements based on fleeting first impressions. The planets allow you to pull thoughts out of the air and sense impending problems.

SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
You may have a battle on your hands this weekend either convincing others you are right or working out where they are coming from. Maintain a low profile, choose your battles wisely and tolerate diverse viewpoints.

CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
You could be more inclined to play a passive role in relationships, but will still command respect from others. Moon in your sign sees you satisfied with less and able to bear more burdens than usual.

AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
A situation could climax, leaving you with little choice but to act immediately or lose the momentum gained in recent months. Moon in your intuitive sector is a bonus and its presence almost guarantees good results.

PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
Your mood may be escapist, but you will be happy to spend time with people of like mind. Also, yours may be the voice of reason in an otherwise feisty environment where everyone is jockeying for position.

SATURDAY

YOUR DAY
People may come down hard on those they suspect are shirking their duties. The main problem today could be an abundance of leaders and too few followers. The best bet would be to aim for equality in relationships and share the duties and rewards among the whole group.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
Your desire to get closer to someone who has been an enigma is only one of the emotional challenges you face. However, you will enjoy nothing more than relating to people and helping to satisfy their needs while keeping them buoyant through the difficult times.

SUNDAY

YOUR DAY
Speaking bluntly may seem offensive to some, but it saves a lot of guesswork. Give clear instructions, let loved ones know how you feel and express your desires confidently. There is something to be said today for remaining emotionally grounded and refusing to engage in battles of manipulation.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
While you may not undergo a complete transformation, you will reinvent a side of yourself. The changes may be so subtle others barely notice, but over a period of time life will change for the better and the trickle-down effect should improve relationships.
