SATURDAY

YOUR DAY
Remember that not everyone thinks like you and relationships will flow more freely. There could be a tendency for certain people to push their opinions on others and it is important to keep these dogmatic types at arm's length. There is a touch of nostalgia in the stars and memories of happier or more peaceful times could come flooding back.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
Reconciliation with an estranged friend, lover or family member may take place soon, making your heart lighter and personal life happier. There is also a strong possibility you will accept an offer or challenge that requires study, extra resources or relocation. Wherever possible, work as part of a team.

SUNDAY

YOUR DAY
All-or-nothing decisions leave little room for negotiation and it may seem everyone is at loggerheads today. Once someone makes up his or her mind, it will be very difficult to exert influence and the secret to success lies in being strong enough to surrender. Platonic associations will fare better than romantic or family relationships, but only marginally.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
Saturn's exit from your sign means the brakes will come off and you can take capitalise on an opportunity or new relationship. However, there are likely to be restrictions in the financial area and you may need to cut back on expenses or find new ways to earn income.
