Weekend, 27 & 28 August 2005

ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
You may have to dance to someone's tune, but will cleverly get your own way on occasions. This is an excellent time for interaction with people from all walks of life, as well as mentally stimulating hobbies.

TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
Lifestyle issues occupy much of your time and with good management and a touch of luck you will make fantastic headway. Family, home, creative pursuits and financial matters all come under favourable influences this weekend.

GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
You may make an off the cuff remark to heart or will misinterpret the intentions of a loved one. This is due in part to the sensitive Moon in your sign, but also stems from feelings of insecurity.

CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
You may be inspired to make changes, but should avoid impulsive behaviour that could affect others. Timing and selflessness are important at the moment and you would be wise to adopt a wait-and-see approach until early September.

LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
Expect to win a few arguments and lose some minor battles in the days ahead. Interaction with others will mostly be in good spirit, but there could be times when discussions degenerate and turn into free-for-alls.

VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
You may receive help from someone with a generous spirit. This person could be the guardian angel sent to watch over you and he or she will come to the rescue when events spin out of control.

LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
You may have to submit to the superior knowledge or wisdom of a mature person. Your sign is about to learn a valuable lesson, one you can apply to your daily life and may ultimately teach others.

SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
Those of you with a point of view to express will have little trouble finding a receptive audience this weekend. Your stars are sociable and indications are a variety of people will come and go from your life.

SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
Some may see your tendency to take the moral high ground as setting a double standard, yet others will happily follow your lead. Your knowledge of a particular person or subject gives you the edge over the weekend.

CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
It may be time to seek solace or salvation for a past incident. Once you have calmed down or made amends, you can wipe the slate clean, forgive yourself and start afresh in an intimate relationship.

AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
The scales are tipped in your favour, but to capitalise on compatible energy you must make wise choices and decisions. In addition, your usual analytical approach will work against you and you should go with gut instinct.

PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
People will be more responsive and loving if you listen to their problems rather than bemoaning your own fate. The lunar energy is detached and warns against acting out of greed, anger or self- interest.

SATURDAY

YOUR DAY
There is an element of fun in the stars that balances more serious aspects. Keep relationships on a fairly superficial level today, look at life in a light-hearted way, and add plenty of variety to relationships and your routine. Invitations that are issued and accepted spontaneously or last minute changes to plans could create surprisingly happy memories.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
Last year you may have acted in an unorthodox manner or mixed with unusual people. However, the next twelve months look like being more conventional and one-dimensional. You will happily make sacrifices for loved ones or accept greater responsibility for very little reward. Nurture your soul and make wise decisions.

SUNDAY

YOUR DAY
Moon in mercurial Gemini suggests that anything goes and nothing is carved in stone. Be prepared to experiment, but try to avoid making risqué or rude comments simply to shock others. You should also allow leeway in your timetable, as people may run late or take arrangements lightly. It may be difficult to separate fact and fiction.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
Fond memories of the past could surface, leaving you with vague feelings of discontent or resentment. Rather than looking back, try to find new avenues of interest or expand your current social circle. Chasing that elusive dream or searching for your ideal mate will only lead to frustration.
