Weekend, 28 & 29 October

ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
Ruling Mars in Scorpio sets you up for a fall. The problem may be that despite believing in yourself, others could be undermining your efforts behind your back. Subterfuge in upcoming days will surely stifle progress.

TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
Healthy eating habits and the right amount of exercise are vital for overall health and happiness. If you look good you will feel better and energy or popularity levels may soon be elevated to new heights.

GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
Avoid taking advantage of others in order to meet your own needs. Keep in mind that every action has a reaction and there will be a price to pay if you behave in a selfish or cruel way.

CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
Someone may do a complete about face, surprising you with a change of tactics or attitude. It may take time to adjust to the different dynamics in a relationship, but deeper levels of understanding can be achieved.

LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
Relationships may demand more of your time or emotional energy and you will have to make sacrifices for loved ones. However always the people pleaser, you may choose to simmer over grievances rather than air them.

VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
Try to be receptive to ideas or suggestions from others. If you receive a spontaneous invitation or are confronted with a sudden change in plans, take up the challenge and be prepared to roll with the punches.

LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
There may be a strong attraction between you and a newcomer, or you will look at a loved one in a totally different light. The planets spice up relationships and open your eyes to all possibilities.

SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
You may answer the call from someone who wants assistance, but will refuse to neglect your own needs and desires. The stars actively encourage you to focus on the balance of give and take this weekend.

SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
Cracks may begin to appear in a relationship and rather than blocking them out, you must address issues honestly. Bear in mind that no situation or person is perfect and compromise could be the key to success.

CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
There are some affectionate vibrations surrounding your sign, but you may be distracted and miss the signals others are sending out. Avoid getting bogged down in your own problems and share the love around.

AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
A rebuff or criticism may come as a slap in the face and while you may forgive your tormentor, you will not forget. In all likelihood, the relationship will gradually fade from prominence in upcoming weeks.

PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
You may drift from one activity to the next before settling on something that truly captures your imagination. Your dreams and desires can be met, but you must be prepared to experiment and believe in your ability.

SATURDAY
YOUR DAY
It is important to be fully informed before entering into talks. Attention to detail is paramount and with several of the personal planets in Scorpio, the minds of many will be like steel traps. Memories are also going to be long, so think before making mischief today.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
Your normally sheltered existence opens up, exposing you to new opportunities, relationships and hobbies. A desire to experiment may see you trying several different avenues before deciding which suit you best. Contact with people from diverse cultures could top off an interesting year.

SUNDAY
YOUR DAY
Venus in Scorpio could cause people to shun superficial relationships and demand loyalty from others. The good news is that today's energy is reliable and if plans or promises are made, the odds of follow through are higher than normal. Avoid engaging in gossip or idle pastimes.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
Despite a recent setback, you will be on a roll for the remainder of the year. Fortunately you have the weight of numbers on your side now and those who were once cynical will jump onboard when you put forward a plan.
