Twenty years ago today, Massachusetts became the first state to legalise same-sex marriage. And as Venus (love) prepares to converge with Uranus (innovation), and the Sun converges with lucky Jupiter, the cosmic message focuses on all-embracing love.

And by sharing bold ideas, we can find ways to turn them into something beautiful... and real.

This cosmic union promises a bountiful and harmonious time, sprinkling your life with love and joy. This is the perfect time to deepen your connections with loved ones.

ARIES

The problem with wiping out difficult aspects of our past is that it stops us learning from those experiences. But if we over-focus on them, we can't move on. The weekend brings a chance to change a pattern of behaviour. You can find a way to benefit from a situation that has been working against you. And discover how to profit from a connection that has been problematic. How are you going to do this? You just need to alter your mindset. And under this weekend's auspicious cosmic climate, that's going to be easy-peasy.

TAURUS

We're astonished when we see illusionists make something disappear and reappear. Yet the fact that a tiny acorn grows into an oak, or that the highest mountains on the planet were once submerged by an ocean, doesn't make much of an impact on us. Surely nature's transformational abilities are more impressive? With Venus converging with Uranus, and the Sun converging with Jupiter (all in your sign), a process of transformation is taking place in your world. This weekend can be remarkable. Get ready to be amazed!

GEMINI

Your weekend might not be looking perfect. But, if you're prepared to be enthusiastic about whatever comes your way, you'll learn a lot. So, that's the attitude you need to foster. Where you're anticipating difficulties, expect surprisingly positive events. That scenario that historically has always been challenging? If you approach it in a different way, you've got the power to transform it. If you're as honest, caring, kind and fair as you can be, and look for opportunities to have fun, under this cosmic climate, you'll find them.

CANCER

Humans are natural philosophers. We tend to think things happen for a reason. And if we don't know what the reason is, we blame ourselves for our lack of insight. We think that if we keep searching for it, we'll find it. So how are you going to explain the reason why things are due to work out for you this weekend? What have you done to deserve the gifts coming your way? Suppose, instead of wondering why what's happening is happening, you set out to enjoy yourself? You definitely deserve to have fun. And that's what's on offer!

LEO

In one key area of your world, you've been struggling to make progress. Obstacles keep popping up. Working out where they are, and how to circumnavigate them has been challenging. You get so far, then discover a problem that seems insurmountable. This experience has affected your expectations in other parts of your life. You've reset your goals and made them easier. Which means you're making moderate gains (rather than big ones). This weekend, don't turn down an exciting proposition. It could change everything.

VIRGO

If we find a successful formula, we're supposed to stick with it. But the problem with this approach is that we can end up living our lives following a set of rules that worked at the time, but which need revising. You're being restricted by an old mindset. It's time for a change. The weekend's cosmic climate brings insight and inspiration. The right kind of progress, towards the kind of satisfaction you only dream of, is possible. If you're prepared to move out of your comfort zone, you'll find a delightful new level of comfort.

LIBRA

What should you be worried about? Who do you need to be wary of? Which rules have to be followed? And which ones can you bend or ignore? As your ruler links with rebellious Uranus, you're not in the mood to conform. But even if no one notices your defiance, you can't escape your own conscience. This weekend, as long as you adhere to your usual high standards, don't hold yourself back. You've got responsibilities to honour. But there's still room for innovation. Make sure you allow yourself the freedom to have fun.

SCORPIO

Humans can be modest at one moment and full of self-importance the next. We tend to swing between extremes. And one of life's challenges involves finding a balance between them. In an ideal world, we can be weak and strong. Simple but complex. Courageous, yet willing to learn. It's not easy. But even the act of seeking this kind of equilibrium brings a sense of satisfaction. Under this powerful cosmic climate, if you go beyond the obvious, a potentially tricky situation can be transformed into something special.

SAGITTARIUS

Take your place at the front of the stage under the spotlights, and accept the applause being offered. You deserve it. Hopefully you feel justified in receiving such a public show of approval. Yet part of you is uncertain about the way people are responding to you right now. You're expecting criticism, not plaudits. You don't feel you've done enough. So, it's time to stop being harsh on yourself. This weekend, the Sun's link to your ruler, Jupiter, brings affirmation that enables you to enjoy the positive feedback that's coming your way.

CAPRICORN

You're not afraid of hard work. But even determined Capricorns know that hard work alone doesn't guarantee success. Self-belief is a valuable asset too. But even though you have these qualities, if your judgement isn't good, you know you won't get very far. This weekend, as Venus (love and creativity), converges with innovative Uranus, it brings insight and objectivity. Your recent efforts weren't in vain. Your trust was well-placed. Your sense of purpose is justified. And when the right chances arise, you'll recognise them.

AQUARIUS

As Venus, the planet of love, converges with your ruler, Uranus, the sky has a gift to give you. But your ability to accept and appreciate it depends on what you expect it to be. You're confident about a certain plan. You know what you need to do to get things to work out in the way you want them to. And it would help if a very specific development took place. So... the challenge is going to involve letting go of this idea. Be more flexible and imaginative. When this weekend brings an unexpected occurrence, it's a good idea to embrace it.

PISCES

The Rosetta Stone was discovered over 200 years ago. A large piece of granite, inscribed in three different languages, scholars were able to use their knowledge of one language to work out previously indecipherable hieroglyphs. They found a key to history's forgotten secrets. This weekend, you don't need to dig around to find a special message. The cosmos is beaming one into your world. If you apply someone else's insights to your life, you'll find a solution to a bewildering problem, and discover the treasure hidden within.
