You may be asked to assume someone else's duties now, just when you were getting into your stride. Although your desire to get ahead is strong, your need to help those in need is even stronger. This may come as a surprising lesson to you, but folk around you would expect nothing less. It’s a day of disruptions so plan nothing and you’ll be adequately prepared for anything that comes your way.

Some work situations or awkward people feel like a weight around your neck, especially now that the weekend's here. Don't let your love of fun interfere with your duties, especially if folks are counting on you to get a job done. Spend an extra hour at your desk if you have to. You can't afford to make enemies but that might be easier said than done.

You could overestimate your ability to master difficult concepts by assuming what you read or are told is from an expert. Give others the benefit of the doubt but if you don’t understand something then get advice from someone who knows. I’m not sure how it will manifest itself but expect the unexpected to emerge to prevent you from doing what you had planned or set your heart on.

Doing a favour for a friend may be more trouble than it's worth, so take a pass. Sometimes you worry that you have to be totally accommodating in order for folks to love you. That's nonsense. The only thing you need to do what's best for you. If that means taking a day off to recharge your batteries, so be it. Isn’t it time you set the cat amongst the pigeons by doing something outrageous?

Your refusal to listen could land you in hot water with the powers that be. Assume for a second that yours is not the only worthy opinion. By giving respect to your superiors, they'll be more open to your ideas. It's all a matter of faith. If you've been burned in the past, get over it. Grudges are more trouble than they're worth. Someone is gunning for you at home, have you forgotten an important date?

Don't be too wedded to your ways, especially if an alternate method is proposed. By giving this idea a chance, you'll establish yourself as an open-minded, versatile person. Take care not to let domestic chores slip, especially if a relative is experiencing a great deal of stress. It's your turn to shoulder the load. Even if you suspect you are being taken for a fool: grin and bear it for now...

Your slapdash money management could create enormous problems in a close relationship. Examine why you need to buy so many things to be happy. Perhaps it's because human beings are so unpredictable. Sometimes you need to cast your fears aside in favour of something better. Credit cards, shopping channels or cash are no substitute for love. Watch out or you could end up with neither.

Venus squaring up to Uranus is sure to bring tension into a close relationship. From a marital union to a commercial affiliation some things are going unsaid which is bound to lead to a stand-off situation between you both. It’s better for you and your partner if you both get something out of your system before it splits your affair asunder. One of you is bored with the other, admit that and you’re halfway there.

The old routine is absolutely unbearable today, so scale down your expectations to the bare minimum. There's no point in pushing yourself when your spirit rebels at every turn. Make some fun plans for the weekend. A short trip away may be just what you need to find your smile again. Health wise watch out for stress or tension which is causing you or someone grief. That’s a sure sign you need to chill out and unwind.

Someone may try to win your approval, but they're taking exactly the wrong approach. You're the type who feels that actions speak louder than words. Let this be your guiding principle today, especially if the person in question tickles your fancy. The chances of you being attracted to someone you wouldn’t usually touch with a barge pole is increased now but steer clear or it’ll all end in tears.

You may promise more than you can deliver to a relative. If you find that you've overextended yourself work out a happy medium between what you want and your family needs. This may land you in hot water, but it's better than being selfish. Let this be a lesson to you. One of those weekends when your personal freedom is limited by domestic duty.

Conducting a secret love affair is bad news, no matter how delicious it feels. Your love of intrigue may have gotten you in similar messes before. Are you ready to learn from your mistakes? Don't feel too smug if you're not involved in a clandestine relationship. A tempting proposition could change all that if you're not careful. You know, under this Saturday’s stars anything is possible.
