Star watch

-

CANCER (June 22 to July 23)

Coupled Crabs — work on deepening the commitment within your relationsh­ip. With hard work and persistenc­e, your love can last the distance. Singles — be patient and wait for the right person.

LEO (July 24 to Aug 23)

The main quality you need to cultivate at the moment is patience — especially where relationsh­ips are concerned. Lions are raring to go but the message for today is: “Good things come to those who wait.”

VIRGO (Aug 24 to Sept 23)

When it comes to a problem with a child, teenager, parent or friend, there are no quick fixes. It’s a case of one step forwards and two steps backwards but you’ll eventually make progress.

LIBRA (Sept 24 to Oct 23)

A loved one is going through a tough time and is looking to you for some sensitive and sensible advice. So tell them you’re happy to support them and will be by their side for the long run.

SCORPIO (Oct 24 to Nov 22)

Attached Scorpios — remind your partner of your love and commitment. Singles — there’s a good chance you’ll find love on an online dating site. But it won’t happen overnight; you must be patient.

SAGITTARIU­S (Nov 23 to Dec 22)

If you are dealing with financial or business matters then a conservati­ve approach will reap rewards. Protecting current resources is preferable to taking a chance on risky new ventures.

CAPRICORN (Dec 23 to Jan 20)

If you dwell on things too much this weekend, then you’ll just make giant mountains out of tiny molehills. So quit being a serious worrywart and get on with doing things that you really enjoy.

AQUARIUS (Jan 21 to Feb 19)

You want to move fast but those around you are enjoying a slower pace. The stars are asking you to be more meticulous this weekend, as you revise projects and wait for others to catch up.

PISCES (Feb 20 to Mar 20)

Attached Pisces — look after your relationsh­ip as you would tend a garden. Otherwise it won’t flourish. Singles — you may be attracted to someone who is much older and wiser than you.

ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 20)

Look at your work situation in a realistic way. Are you doing what you want to do? Are you heading in the right direction? If not, then it may be time to make some positive, practical changes.

TAURUS (Apr 21 to May 20)

Lasting love takes time and plenty of patience. So your motto is from Ursula Le Guin: “Love doesn’t just sit there like a stone. It has to be made like bread, remade all the time, made new.”

GEMINI (May 21 to June 21)

You’re hungry for up-to-the-minute informatio­n, so phone a family member and have a good long chat. Don’t be too frivolous though — they may have some serious issues to talk about.
