Starwatch

- With Joanne Madeline Moore

AQUARIUS (Jan 21-Feb 19) Routine chores will seem a drag, as you long for more free time and fewer 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 ASAP?

TAURUS (Apr 21-May 21)

You’ve had a busy week so take the time to slow down and centre yourself Bulls. You don’t function well under pressure. Have the calm confidence to find and maintain 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.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 23)

The Moon’s moving through Cancer so you’ll feel sensitive and intuitive. But be extra selective about who you mix with. 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 close friend or work colleague could bring you back down to earth with a thud.

VIRGO (Aug 24-Sep 23)

Choose your words carefully this weekend, especially when you’re conversing with female friends and colleagues. And avoid getting drawn into discussion­s about ‘the big two’ – money and politics.

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. You need to be patient.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 22)

Slow down Scorpio! 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.

SAGITTARIU­S (Nov 23-Dec 21) Money matters look complicate­d at the moment, 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 financial situation.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 20) Avoid being too hard on others this weekend. Not everyone shares your exceptiona­lly high standards and conscienti­ous Capricorn ways. But they do have a variety of other talents to contribute.
