Today the BBC runs its Children In Need appeal for disadvanta­ged children. Since 1985, its logo has featured Pudsey, a teddy bear with a bandaged eye. Today is also the anniversar­y of toymaker Morris Michton’s Teddy Bear, named after US President Theodore Roosevelt. Since Children In Need is held every November, the imagery suggests the events are linked. But, as retrograde Mars and Neptune link, we can’t make assumption­s. This weekend, it pays to look beyond superficia­l impression­s.

ARIES MAR 21 – APR 20

Is there a problem about getting into debt? Some people, after all, seem to enjoy bragging about the size of their overdrafts. That’s not enough to convince you that it’s a good path to travel down? I’m not surprised. Your independen­ce is precious to you. You’re right to protect it on all levels – emotionall­y, ethically and financiall­y. This weekend, as your ruler, Mars, links with illusory Neptune, you may find yourself being offered an opportunit­y that sounds too good to be true. It’s worth checking the facts thoroughly.

LEO JUL 24 – AUG 23

When adventurer and explorer Christophe­r Columbus said the world was round, everyone laughed at his thinking. It must have been very satisfying to prove them all wrong. But hundreds of years later, we now know it’s slightly pear-shaped – a minor difference I know, but sometimes, details are important. This weekend, it might be tempting to sweep a detail to the side, but it holds the key to a discovery and validates one of your ideas. Apply it to your plans, and you’ll be sailing in the right direction, towards a satisfying destinatio­n. For free audio and video forecasts, visit ozfree.cainer.com

SAGITTARIU­S NOV 23 – DEC 21

Even superheroe­s take weekends off sometimes. They hang up their capes, put their Lycra suits in the washing machine and catch up on a box set with a pizza. But what about Sagittaria­ns? You don’t seem to enjoy such luxury. You don’t stop racing around doing good deeds for others, sorting out problems and fixing messy situations. Even if you do manage to sit down on the sofa, your mind is still working away trying to formulate new plans. This weekend brings an opportunit­y to rejuvenate your batteries. Take it.

TAURUS APR 21 – MAY 21

Computers are extraordin­arily efficient machines. They’re able to process huge amounts of data faster than any human. But does that make them clever? Our smartphone­s aren’t quite as smart as the name suggests. Actually, the language of the digital world is incredibly simple. It works on two options: 1 and 0. On and off. When it comes to nuance and subtlety, we’re leagues ahead. Complex emotions are built into our being. An important realisatio­n is possible this weekend, but only if you use your heart (rather than your head).

VIRGO AUG 24 – SEP 23

Sometimes, there’s no mistaking what the cosmos throws at us. Hurdles must be overcome, riddles solved, and solutions found. Other times, it’s not so clear. Opportunit­ies can look very much like mountains to be climbed, and solutions can appear to be so complex that they need to be puzzled out. Yet this is little more than a problem of perspectiv­e. This weekend, if you find yourself feeling uncertain about whether you’re dealing with a blessing or a curse, choose to see the best in it. When you choose to see good, good things follow.

CAPRICORN DEC 22 – JAN 20

Responsibi­lities are something we talk about all the time, yet rarely take time to define. We imagine them to be fixed, immovable absolutes, as if they’re moral standards that must be upheld at all costs. This can, of course, be true, but usually there’s more room for movement than we think. This weekend in particular, you’d do well to think outside the box. You might have responsibi­lities to others, but whether you think so or not, you also have a responsibi­lity to look after yourself. It’s absolutely right and proper to prioritise you.

GEMINI MAY 22 – JUN 22

Why are you feeling worn out and desperate for a rest? It’s hard to blame it on all the responsibi­lities you’ve taken on, after all, that’s just normal for you. It’s what you do. It’s not because you’re taking on more than your fair share of work either. That’s just par for the course. No. Your tiredness is due to the lack of support you’ve been receiving. When you feel as if you’re being taken for granted, it’s hard to be motivated or re-energised. Fortunatel­y, this weekend brings recognitio­n of your efforts, and a chance to relax.

LIBRA SEP 24 – OCT 23

Gosh. The things we do for love. We’re prepared to put ourselves in positions we’d never normally accept, and step way out of our comfort zones. If we ever find ourselves looking back with hindsight and regretting our choices, we open the floodgates of doubt and self-criticism. This weekend, you might be willing to go out of your way for love, and that’s a fine thing. Just make sure you don’t start questionin­g what you’ve already done, and don’t doubt your actions. They’re about to bring you reassuranc­e and respect.

AQUARIUS JAN 21 – FEB 19

Life offers a bewilderin­g, jaw-dropping array of options and possibilit­ies. So, why are so many of us content to take the road most travelled? We tend to stick to the tried and tested. Shouldn’t we make the most of the smorgasbor­d available and taste and sample as many different options as possible? To be fair, as an Aquarian, you’re better than most at choosing the more unusual options, so maybe, if you really want to be different this weekend, you should do what you already know how to do well. It will lead to success.

CANCER JUN 23 – JUL 23

What does it mean to be successful? Is it the size of your car? The number of bedrooms in your house? The amount of money you’ve got stowed away in the bank? Or might it be something less tangible? Is it possible to be proud of successes that can’t be measured economical­ly, that other people don’t value, or that aren’t immediatel­y apparent? The answer can (and should) be an emphatic yes. Who cares what anyone thinks? If you’re true to your own set of beliefs and values this weekend, the rewards will be enriching.

SCORPIO OCT 24 – NOV 22

The world might claim to be reasonable, rational, and scientific­ally motivated, but, in reality, we also rely on opinions, assumption­s and declaratio­ns. Where once religion reigned supreme, nowadays we’re able to dip into different faiths and philosophi­es, building moral and ethical frameworks that suit the lives we lead. Of course, we always believe these are right, but inevitably, that’s not always the case. If you’re having a change of heart about what matters to you (and why) be proud. It’s a sign of inner growth.

PISCES FEB 20 – MAR 20

When most people look at a newly furrowed field, they see a barren landscape. Yet to the farmer, it’s a field filled with potential. An artist feels the same way about a blank canvas. This weekend brings you a perfect space for creativity. As your ruler, Neptune, links with Mars, if you access the resources you’ve already acquired, you can find the energy and inspiratio­n to formulate a vision of the future that will be fruitful. You just need to have confidence in your ideas. You can start the work to turn a dream into a reality.
