AQUARIUS (Jan 21-Feb 19)

Weekend chores will seem a drag, as you long for more free time and less domestic responsibi­lities. Smart Aquarians will take care of business early, so there’s room for fun and games later on.

PISCES (Feb 20-Mar 20)

Your goals may seem unreachabl­e but don’t be too discourage­d Pisces. With plenty of planning – and persistenc­e – you can make your dreams come true. But you must be in it for the long haul.

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 20)

Aries put a lot of energy into pursuing profession­al success, but there are no excuses for neglecting family and friends. So why not pick up the phone or jump in the car and get in touch?

TAURUS (Apr 21-May 21)

You’ve had a busy week so slow down and centre yourself this weekend Bulls. You don’t function well under pressure. Have the calm confidence to find your own steady pace.

GEMINI (May 22-Jun 21)

The Moon’s in Cancer and you have much to learn from your neighbouri­ng sign. Like – less chatter, and more listening. Being kind and compassion­ate is definitely the way to go this weekend Twins.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 23)

The Moon’s moving through Cancer so you’ll feel sensitive and intuitive. But be selective about who you mix with, as you’re liable pick up some people’s negative moods like a sponge.

LEO (Jul 24-Aug 23)

With the Moon in your dream zone, reach for the stars as you set goals for the future. But – if you are too bossy – then a friend or colleague could bring you back down to earth with a thud.

VIRGO (Aug 24-Sep 23)

Money matters look serious this weekend, as you are hit with extra bills or rising costs. With Mars moving through your $$$ zone, it’s time to be creative and proactive about your finances.

LIBRA (Sep 24-Oct 23)

It’s a good time to nurture your profession­al contacts. With some nifty networking, you’ll take your career to the next level. If you’re looking for a job, don’t expect instant results. Be patient.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 22)

Choose your words carefully today – especially when you’re conversing with the main women in your life. And avoid getting drawn into discussion­s about ‘the big two’ – money and politics.

SAGITTARIU­S (Nov 23-Dec 21)

Slow down Sagittariu­s! You’re in the mood to get things done but remember that other people are involved in your plans. If you don’t consult with them first, you’ll just end up wasting time.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 20)

Avoid being too hard on others.

Just remember not everyone shares your exceptiona­lly high standards and conscienti­ous Capricorn ways. But they do have many other talents to contribute.
