ARIES MAR 21 - APR 20

It must be tough to work in some frontline jobs. Breaking difficult news, for example, is never easy. Whether it’s a doctor explaining a diagnosis, a teacher giving disappoint­ing exam results, or a police officer relaying details of an accident. What makes the difference, is how they choose to communicat­e. As Venus opposes Neptune, and Mercury enters your opposite sign, you need to express your most compassion­ate side. By enabling other sensitive souls, you empower yourself this weekend.

You know the feeling: you’re running around trying to find something you’ve misplaced when someone says, ‘have you checked wherever you had it last?’ It’s a frustratin­g thing to hear. But, it can often be right. When we lose something, judgement flies out of the window, and we find ourselves looking in long-abandoned cupboards and illogical hidey-holes just in case. When we eventually find it, it’s inevitably somewhere infuriatin­gly obvious. Whatever you’re searching for this weekend, go about it logically.

Sagittaria­ns can be zealous. You have the gift of being able to put all of yourself into whatever you’re doing, thinking or feeling. You naturally invest energy in your happiness and growth. Yet, when a bad mood strikes, you can overly invest in sadness. There’s value in being able to work through negative emotions. But don’t you think you’ve been pondering a particular challenge long enough? Don’t let it distract you from recent positive developmen­ts, which ought to be celebrated.

We’ve all walked down the street, feeling pretty good about things, when we start noticing a bad odour. It’s tough luck to discover that we’ve walked in something we’d rather have avoided. So begins a clean-up process - a messy business. But, sometimes you’ve just got to do what you’ve gotta do. As your ruler opposes Neptune this weekend, there’s an action you need to take that seems far from glamorous. But it’s necessary, and right. More to the point, you’ll come out smelling of roses.

VIRGO AUG 24 - SEP 23

You’re not usually a soppy sort. You’re more likely to be lost in a non-fiction book than a romance novel. Yet, sometimes you experience a wave of love so powerful that you almost forget who you are. As Venus, in your sign, moves opposite Neptune just as your ruler ends its stay in Virgo - this weekend threatens to be one of those moments. ‘Threaten’ suggests unease. Although you may be out of your comfort zone, this will be anything but uncomforta­ble. Give your heart the reins.

CAPRICORN DEC 22 - JAN 20

In the olden days, before Netflix, television or cinema, children grew up listening to myths and legends. They heard tales of knights, giants, gods and fairies; stories of good and evil, and great battles. These had one thing in common: strife. Life wasn’t easy when dragons and giants roamed the earth. I suppose it’s good to know some things don’t change! But, these stories contained something else too - triumph. Soon enough you’ll be justified in feeling like the prince, or princess, of your own fairytale.

One of the best one-liners at the Edinburgh Fringe, was spoken by Alasdair Beckett-King. He said, ‘Whenever someone says, “I don’t believe in coincidenc­es.” I say, Oh my God, me neither!’ Personally, I do believe in the odd coincidenc­e. But I don’t believe they explain as much as people would have you believe. Some of the fortune coming your way will be hard to ascribe to chance. It certainly feels as if there’s something deeper at work. But whether it’s lady luck, or father fate, assistance is on hand.

LIBRA SEP 24 - OCT 23

A computer won’t work without sufficient hard drive capacity. In a similar way, our emotions take up space, and affect how we operate. That isn’t to say that we should monitor our feelings, but sometimes it’s necessary to empty the trash. Are you holding on to grievances that it would be better to forgive? As Pluto changes direction, it’s time to let go of an objection. Then, as Mercury enters your sign this weekend, you’ll be able to move forward with more clarity and certainty.

You’re on a path. Despite your concerns, it is straight and narrow, and it will take you to the right destinatio­n. If you just keep putting one foot in front of another, you’ll get there, whether you want to or not. But there’s a technique called ‘offroading’ that you might like to explore this weekend. It involves deviating from your set route, shaking up your internal satnav and setting off on the road less travelled. Give it a go! You can escape the inescapabl­e - and plan for a freer, brighter future.

Sometimes, it takes only a tiny problem to convince us that we’ve entered a downward spiral. Pessimism seeps in and, before long, we’re envisaging broken agreements and strained relationsh­ips. But isn’t it usually just a bump in the road, rather than the beginning of a journey filled with potholes? Trouble and joy often coexist. As Venus makes tricky angles to Uranus and Jupiter, even though Neptune’s influence may blow problems out of proportion, they shouldn’t detract from the support available.

SCORPIO OCT 24 - NOV 22

People closest to us are the ones with the power to hurt us. Harsh words from strangers can be laughed off. But the same words, from someone we trust, can cut like a knife. So, should we swear off love and friendship­s in a pre-emptive, defensive strike? With Pluto now direct, linking harmonious­ly with Mars this weekend, where words were once hot, and tempers flared, sweetness is entering your life. If you can find the courage to face your sensitivit­ies, a valuable bond can be strengthen­ed.

‘It’s so important to make someone happy. Make just one someone happy... And you will be happy, too.’ This song from a 1960s musical – but the best known version was in the soundtrack for Sleepless In Seattle. It’s so easy to forget that the world would be a happier place if we sometimes dedicated ourselves to pleasing others. Following your traditiona­l ruler’s opposition with Uranus, Venus aligns with Neptune this weekend. Go out of your way for someone, and enjoy the afterglow.
