Mercury (Hobart)

- with Joanne Madeline Moore

AQUARIUS (Jan 21-Feb 19)

Expect tricky issues with a loved one Rambunctio­us as Mercury, Venus and Saturn activate your home zone. It’s nothing you can’t handle though, as you patch up problems with extra care, concern and compassion.

PISCES (Feb 20-Mar 20)

Have you been lost in La-La-Land? Don’t get distracted by a quagmire of Rambunctio­us possibilit­ies. It’s time to be much more practical and proactive about solving personal and/or relationsh­ip problems.

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 20)

If you are responsibl­e and discipline­d, then a friendship or a business partnershi­p will go well this weekend. But resist overemotio­nal ramblings. Strive to be more verbally precise.

TAURUS (Apr 21-May 21)

With Venus – your ruling planet – squaring serious Saturn, relationsh­ips won’t run smoothly this weekend. It’s also not a good time to make major financial purchases or important investment­s.

GEMINI (May 22-Jun 21)

Love-planet Venus squares karma planet Saturn, so an old relationsh­ip could be revisited or cracks may appear in a current partnershi­p. Patience and understand­ing will get you through.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 23)

When it comes to personal and profession­al relationsh­ips, be practical about sorting out communicat­ion problems. The more energy you put into partnershi­ps, the more you’ll get out of them.

LEO (Jul 24-Aug 23)

Loved ones won’t be particular­ly attentive, as sombre Saturn stymies shows of affection. So it would be better to work hard on an independen­t project, and learn to be more self-reliant.

VIRGO (Aug 24-Sep 23)

A romantic or platonic relationsh­ip could be somewhat strained this weekend. So socialisin­g, fun and frivolity are out, as you sit down and work through issues in a serious and dedicated way.

LIBRA (Sep 24-Oct 23)

Have you been too busy to spend time with friends? The stars encourage you to work on your platonic relationsh­ips. If you take them for granted, then you could find yourself out of the friendship loop.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 22)

Loved ones are acting like a mirror as they reflect back aspects of yourself you don’t want to see. And a family matter could take up a lot of your time and energy today, so plan accordingl­y.

SAGITTARIU­S (Nov 23-Dec 21)

Venus and Saturn send a reality check, as you realise some of life’s luxuries you were hoping to buy are out of your budget range. So maybe it’s time to replace spending sprees with a savings plan?

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 20)

Mercury, Venus and Saturn stimulate your self-esteem and money zones. So it’s time to be super responsibl­e, as you work through personal or financial problems with a more mature approach.
