Dec. 4: Your weekend horoscope - The Globe and Mail

IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY:

What happens over the next 12 months will toughen you up mentally and emotionally and prepare you for a position of real responsibility. Up until now you've had it easy, and that's okay, but even a Sagittarius needs to be tested.

ARIES (March 21 - April 20):

The new moon in Sagittarius will do wonders for your confidence - not that you were exactly lacking in that department before! You will be wildly adventurous over the next 48 hours, a little too much so for some people's tastes.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21):

Do you continue with a business arrangement that could make you a lot of money, IF it goes according to plan and IF you get a fortunate roll of the dice? It depends how happy you are with the size of those IFs!

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21):

Reach out to people who mean something to you. And reach out to people who don't. A new moon in your opposite sign of Sagittarius means a new start is both possible and desirable, but you need to bring others into the picture.

CANCER (June 22 - July 23):

The current cosmic climate is good for your health, making this the ideal time to start a new fitness regime or go on a diet. But don't overdo it. Start slow and build up over time - that way you're more likely to stick with it.

LEO (July 24 - Aug. 23):

The new moon will inspire you to try something new and exciting this weekend, and having tried it and liked it you won't be able to get enough of it. Watch out you don't get addicted - you can get too much of a good thing.

VIRGO (Aug. 24 - Sept. 23):

Do you care what people say about you? Most of the time you don't, but you will be feeling somewhat fragile this weekend so others' remarks could be hurtful. Don't answer back and get in a war of words. You'll lose.

LIBRA (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23):

A new moon in the most open and carefree area of your chart will help you relax and let your hair down. Spend the weekend with friends who share your happy-go-lucky approach to life. You can never have too many laughs.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22):

This is potentially one of the best times of the year to explore ways to boost your cash flow. The new moon in Sagittarius will encourage you to focus on turning your talents into dollars. Don't just earn a living - make a million!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21):

You should be making plans now, the bigger and bolder the better. It may not be entirely true that all things are possible but you can certainly do more than you have done in the past. Think and act as if you cannot fail.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20):

Spend some time by yourself this weekend so you can think through and make sense of all the things that have occurred in your life over the past six months or so. Do you see the pattern? If not, keep looking - you will very soon.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19):

You are on the right track and if you keep doing what you are doing then success will be yours some time very soon. Self-confidence is essential if you want to make progress, so don't doubt yourself, not even for a moment.

PISCES (Feb. 20 - Mar. 20):

The decisions you take this weekend will affect your career aims for a long time to come, so make sure you know what it is you want and make sure you are ready to put in the time and the effort. Then enjoy your success.
