The sun challenges Saturn, the planet of lessons, to a kind of cosmic pop quiz. You may feel that the universe is bringing up old issues that you settled long ago, but don't let this annoy you. Take this as a gift, aimed to reinforce your learning and help you realize how much your awareness has grown. When you don't get mad, the test is easy.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Speak about your spiritual leanings. You will find like-minded people in the most unlikely of places. Tonight, you'll fix one of your pesky problems using a friend's insights and resources.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Your quick wit draws to you the precise jesters needed to keep your environment balanced.

When you assemble a lighthearted group of people, the old grumblers will eventually ease up and join the fun.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Law and order work appropriately today as they apply to your situation. Follow the proper procedures and justice will be served. Tonight, you'll relax, knowing that tomorrow you can move on.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Innovation is your calling card. You have become accustomed to others utilizing your creativity. Time to shine the limelight on yourself. You'll capture the attention of the public.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). A certain habit that you've been trying to change is definitely deeply entrenched in your psyche. That said, it's never too late to start doing things differently. You haven't tried everything yet. Have a go at this again.

WEEKEND LOVE FORECAST: ARIES: You have a feeling someone likes you, but don't bring it up. This uncomfortable tension is perfect now. TAURUS: Resist the urge to talk about yourself — it only indicates you have something to prove, which you don't. GEMINI: You're generous with the compliments and now is the time to pour them on thick — it means something coming from you. CANCER: When someone you love cracks jokes, you laugh the loudest. It's one thing this person loves about you! LEO: Your sophistication on a certain topic might be intimidating to a potential love. Go easy and talk plainly. VIRGO: Someone is showing off for you. Your applause will boost this person's confidence. LIBRA: You'll be tuned in to the body language of those around you and gain valuable insights.

CAPRICORN: You'll suddenly get an insight as to what's going on and how to play it to your advantage. AQUARIUS: Select your company. Don't wait to be selected. PISCES: Your affection is returned — what better feeling on earth could there be?

COUPLE OF THE WEEKEND: Leo and Virgo are neighbors on the zodiac wheel. To be clear, they are the borrowing-sugar kind of neighbors, not the "You're in my parking space" kind. In fact, these two understand and need each other more than most zodiac neighbors. Virgo is an anchor when Leo goes wild. Leo is the voice of fun when Virgo gets too serious. This weekend, life is a party wherever they meet.
