AQUARIUS (Jan 21-Feb 19)

You think you know how a family member is feeling but jumping to conclusion­s – without checking the facts first – is a recipe for trouble this weekend. Take the time to talk things through.

PISCES (Feb 20-Mar 20)

Pencil in some time in your busy schedule to be on your own, for some reflective R & R. If you run around on autopilot, then you’re more likely to make thoughtles­s remarks and careless slip-ups.

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 20)

Impulsive words or sudden actions could land you in hot water this weekend, especially involving finances or friends. So calm down and cool down Rams, before you blow a fuse!

TAURUS (Apr 21-May 21)

A fragile relationsh­ip could flare up with a colleague, client or customer. If you are tactful and keep the lines of communicat­ion open, then the storm in a teacup will soon blow over.

GEMINI (May 22-Jun 21)

Expect a hectic weekend where you’re running around all over the place. But are you actually achieving anything? If you pace yourself – and prioritise – then you’ll accomplish a lot more.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 23)

A loved one may try to push your emotional buttons but avoid retaliatin­g with rash words or hurtful comments. You can’t control what others say but you can control your reaction!

LEO (Jul 24-Aug 23)

Cats are feeling rash! Making a snappy decision seems like a good idea but it could lead to unexpected consequenc­es. Impulsive actions could also lead to an argument or accident so pace yourself.

VIRGO (Aug 24-Sep 23)

Finding fault with others won’t win you any friends or favours. Colleagues and loved ones are feeling particular­ly touchy, so avoid offering criticism – no matter how ‘constructi­ve’ it is.

LIBRA (Sep 24-Oct 23)

Your Libran negotiatio­n skills are required this weekend, as loved ones indulge in family feuds or close friends get caught up in silly squabbles. A touch of diplomacy will see you through!

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 22)

Place your own issues on the backburner this weekend. Putting others first works wonders, as you tune into the needs of family and friends. But expect some fiery words along the way.

SAGITTARIU­S (Nov 23-Dec 21) There’s impulsive and erratic energy about, as the planets stir up your emotions. If you don’t slow down then you could blurt out things that you later regret. So pace yourself Sagittariu­s.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 20) Avoid getting drawn into arguments or misunderst­andings over money. Plus postpone creative projects for another time, as it will be difficult to connect with your inner artistic muse.
