Weekend, 5 & 6 February 2005

ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
You may have to smooth a few ruffled feathers, but will win others over easily with your no-nonsense approach to life. Your ability to find the right words at the right time is a major plus.

TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
Despite the underlying passion affecting your sign this weekend, platonic relationships will bring the most pleasure. Two heads are better than one when devising plans for travel, expansion, or special events. Hook up with enthusiastic people.

GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
A commitment that has serious implications or a promise you are determined to honour, could keep you busy. Thankfully there will be love and support from those who believe in your ideas and respect your judgement.

CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
With Moon and Mars poised to enter your partnership sector, some of you may plan a romantic rendezvous while others expand their social circle. People and events that are a little offbeat will hold the greatest appeal.

LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
Your main frustration will probably be indecisive people and you may be forced into a position of control this weekend. Between now and mid-next week you must work out how to heal a rift in a close relationship.

VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
Your plans today may be thrown into chaos, but by tomorrow you will have tidied up loose ends and can relax. If you do find yourself in over your head, call on a loyal friend for help.

LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
Someone who is fickle, flirtatious or impulsive will appeal to the childlike side of your nature. The energy around your sign is unruly and frivolous, making you reluctant or unable to tackle life's serious issues.

SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
Rather than simply expressing thoughts and feelings out loud, back up your words with action. You could be inclined to go around in circles this weekend without getting your point across or making significant progress.

SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
You may be slow to anger, but once aroused others will feel the full force of your wrath. Steer clear of people who bring out your worst side and mix instead with fun friends and family members.

CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
Those mood swings or bouts of lethargy can be blamed on waning lunar energy and erratic planets. Lay low this weekend and prepare for dynamic Mars, which enters your sign soon and will surely fire up enthusiasm.

AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
You may be listless and could be inclined to scatter your energies while searching for a worthwhile mission. Stick to routine tasks this weekend and choose friends who are amusing rather those who take themselves too seriously.

PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
You may want to experiment socially or with different pastimes, but twinges of guilt could hold you back. Absolve yourself of remorse and responsibility, broaden your horizons and get some try to get more fun from life.

SATURDAY

YOUR DAY
The energy is friendly, but there may be a lack of common sense applied to decisions and plans made today. Some people will be attracted to ventures that carry an element of risk; others could be inclined to act out of their own best interest and will be blind to the needs of loved ones. As the lunar energy wanes motivation might be difficult to muster.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
If your dissatisfaction with a situation or relationship is affecting your peace of mind, then bite the bullet and make changes. Planetary patterns remind you that brave new beginnings and disruption go hand in hand. In order to improve your life circumstances, you have to lose or let something go.

SUNDAY

YOUR DAY
Moon in grounded Capricorn brings people back down to earth with a bang, but not before mistakes are made or divisions created within relationships. This is a day for mopping up, making amends, and adopting a more practical approach to problems. Doing the right thing by others is one of the critical factors when it comes to achieving peace or mind and heart.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
Jupiter changes the way you approach life and provides the impetus needed to broaden your horizons. You may consider a trip for business or pleasure, or you will relocate and connect with someone from a completely different background. Chances are you will find your niche or learn more about yourself.
