Weekend September 2 & 3

ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
A landmark event or sudden revelation adds an element of excitement to your life. And while it may not be all smooth sailing as you make the transition, you will be focussed and up for a challenge.

TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
There is a sense that the tide is about to turn and despite minor setbacks, you will regain a sense of direction. Pride yourself on being independent and trust your instincts whenever a decision has to be made.

GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
The playing field becomes more even, quelling frustration and allowing you a greater say in subjects. Also Moon in opposition has the power to bring about an emotional healing and you may be forgiven for past sins.

CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
The lunar energy compels you to look at issues that require urgent attention. Your diet or fitness routine may need overhauling, or there could be an adjustment you can make that will help streamline your routine.

LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
Put past regrets behind you and recycle some of those ambitions you have on hold. Light-hearted energy buoys your spirits reinforcing the fact your mood of late has been gloomy and off-putting for loved ones.

VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
You often feel happier being the voice of reason, but the lunar energy triggers an innate need to agitate and take sides. Even if your intention is to catapult others out of complacency, it looks likely to backfire.

LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
There are ways and means of brightening up your love life or social calendar, but the onus is on you to find them. You could start by spreading a little sunshine among friends and family members.

SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
The balance of power is likely to shift, giving you more say in matters. As a consequence of this change, you may feel greater affection for someone or you will have more spare time on your hands.

SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
Things may seem black and white on the surface, but there are murky aspects lurking just below. Moon in your sign helps you uncover the truth, while at the same time blinding you to the faults of others.

CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
If you have been alienated from a friend or loved one, this is the perfect time to re-establish contact. The planets combine to create a loving and caring environment in which to cultivate closeness with others.

AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
A special event or celebration provides the perfect platform to flaunt your sociable side. You often give a false impression of aloofness or narcissism, but this weekend you can show others your true colours.

PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
You may have taken one step forward and two back lately, but if nothing else you have learned patience. Fortunately you will be given the go-ahead soon and an enterprise can be launched with fanfare.

SATURDAY
YOUR DAY
The energy is ebullient and favours social or outdoor activities. Those in search of freedom or a voice in issues may have their wish granted, while people who enjoy risk-taking can flirt with unpredictable pastimes. Lies will be transparent today, so stick to the truth wherever possible.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
Channel energy into ambitious goals regardless of what the doomsayers advise. You will be on a roll this year and can continue that on into 2007 provided you act with self-belief. Even if you make minor mistakes along the way, results will be outstanding.

SUNDAY
YOUR DAY
Today is the perfect time to clear away clutter and consolidate ideas or assets. The forces are practical rather than idealistic and unless tangible results are promised, there may be a reluctance to waste time. Productivity and personal satisfaction are incumbent on reward for effort.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
You may be motivated by a vision or your partner's wishes, but either way teamwork will produce optimum outcomes. Collaborate on every aspect of a project - from the planning to completion stages, but don't rule out professional advice if you hit a snag or lack know-how.
