AQUARIUS (Jan 21-Feb 19)

With Saturn seemingly ganging up on you, chances are you’ll get frustrated and impatient about something or someone. The best way to deal with delays is to count to ten and then move on.

PISCES (Feb 20-Mar 20) Inspiratio­n for the weekend is from birthday great, actor Jeremy Irons: “We all have our time machines. Some take us back, they’re called memories. Some take us forward, they’re called dreams.”

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 20)

Focus on your goals and aspiration­s for the future. Plus involve a loved one in your long-term plans. They have an alternativ­e perspectiv­e to offer. Strive to communicat­e your ideas clearly.

TAURUS (Apr 21-May 21)

Trust is a big issue in a romantic or platonic relationsh­ip this weekend. Avoid the temptation to hold onto grudges and be too stubborn, though. Find room in your heart to forgive and forget.

GEMINI (May 22-Jun 21)

Expect the unexpected this weekend, as a loved one or work colleague behaves in a way that surprises you. Don’t jump to conclusion­s, Gemini. There’s much more to the matter than meets the eye.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 23)

Have you been procrastin­ating about all the DIY jobs that need to be done around the house? Get motivated and moving, Crabs, as you clean, tidy, de-clutter and transform your living space.

LEO (Jul 24-Aug 23)

If you’re relying on others to encourage and support you this weekend, then you’ll be disappoint­ed. They have their own problems to deal with, so you’ll just have to be a self-sufficient Lion.

VIRGO (Aug 24-Sep 23)

Your motto for the moment is from Virgo birthday great, actor Jeremy Irons: “I don’t believe in hard work. If something is too hard, leave it. Let it come to you. Let it happen.” (Sep 24-Oct 23)

LIBRA

Lively Librans are ready to shine as Mercury and Mars transit through your sign. But a close friendship or creative project looks problemati­c and may require a more measured approach.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 22) Venus is vamping through your sign until October 7. So this weekend it’s time to be the classy, charismati­c, charming, sensual, stylish Scorpio you were born to be. Enjoy!

SAGITTARIU­S (Nov 23-Dec 21)

Aim to get the balance right between your personal and profession­al lives at the moment, Sagittariu­s. If you concentrat­e on work too much, then loved ones will just be cranky and contrary.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 20)

Are money matters one step forwards and two steps back? Jupiter encourages you to get a financial project off the ground ASAP. But Saturn cautions you to do all the background checks thoroughly.
