Starwatch

- with Joanne Madeline Moore

AQUARIUS (Jan 21-Feb 19)

Don’t despair if a relationsh­ip is coming to an end. It has run its natural course and now is the time to move on. Focus on the future, as you act on your hunches and follow your dreams.

PISCES (Feb 20-Mar 20)

There’ll be plenty of opportunit­ies to shine in the spotlight this weekend Pisces. Work and business are on your mind. However, when it comes to contracts, make sure you read the fine print thoroughly.

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 20)

Venus makes a lovely link with your ruler Mars. So – if you are creative and proactive – then you’ll taste success this weekend. Resist the urge to be blunt and argumentat­ive though.

TAURUS (Apr 21-May 21)

Mars is moving through Taurus, which boosts your stubborn side. So avoid getting stuck in a comfortabl­e rut. When it comes to close relationsh­ips, it’s time to ring in some positive changes.

GEMINI (May 22-Jun 21)

It’s a good time to join forces with friends or colleagues to find a solution to a persistent problem. But – if you speak before you think – you could really put your foot in your mouth!

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 23)

It’s a wonderful weekend to communicat­e with others in creative ways. By pooling ideas and resources, you can make beautiful music together! If you’re looking for love, you’ll have to be proactive.

LEO (Jul 24-Aug 23)

Your hunch about a family member or close friend is spot on. But some creative changes are needed to your daily routine, so you can capitalise on the lucky opportunit­ies that are around.

VIRGO (Aug 24-Sep 23)

Venus and Mars boost confidence but avoid being over-critical of others ... and yourself. Be inspired by fellow Virgo, writer Samuel Johnson. “Self-confidence is the first requisite to great undertakin­gs.”

LIBRA (Sep 24-Oct 23)

Sociable Librans love chatting about creative ideas but you can be rather lazy. This weekend proactive Mars gives your motivation and energy levels a boost. So it’s the perfect time to walk your talk.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 22)

Be careful with a frustrated family member this weekend. If they blurt out something inappropri­ate, then it’s up to you to smooth things over with a Scorpio smile and plenty of patience.

SAGITTARIU­S (Nov 23-Dec 21)

Venus is visiting your sign, which boosts your natural charm. So make the most of it Sagittariu­s! If you’ve been neglecting your nearest and dearest, then they may remind you in surprising ways.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 20)

Your motto is from Capricorn royal Kate Middleton, who turns 39 this weekend. “I’ve been working very hard for the family business. I think everyone I work with can see I am pulling my weight.”
