The alarm may have gone off, but it has been set to snooze. Although the curtains are still closed, there’s just the faintest aroma of coffee wafting, which is raising expectatio­ns for action and quickening heartbeats. This weekend, Mercury and Venus briefly converge in dreamy Pisces before they begin to stir things up in assertive Aries. Jupiter’s retrograde movement suggests that, although our internal exploratio­ns won’t all manifest in external adventures, we’ll be stimulated by the change in perspectiv­e.

Once a year, every year, the universe bestows a unique celestial gift upon you. As Mercury enters Aries this week, you’ll begin to feel a sensation of revelation. It’s not as if everything miraculous­ly and perfectly will fall into place – there will be tests to face and mountains to climb –but you’ll be able to see that things aren’t quite as complex as you first thought, or that you’re more capable of tackling them than you feared. As Venus joins Mercury in your sign, this week brings a spark that can ignite you with exuberance and energy. Let the full moon guide you to the future you long for. Call 1900 957 223.

Taurus Apr21- May21

Recently, I visited my local Turkish barber for a trim. In my experience, these environmen­ts are usually “boys clubs”, as the barbers and their clientele are almost exclusivel­y men. Yet, when I revealed my profession to the man with the clippers, he was soon translatin­g relationsh­ip advice into his mother tongue and gossiping with his colleagues… so much so that it was as if they were trying to subvert a stereotype. You don’t need an interprete­r to get the right message across now; you can let your heart do the talking. Let the light of the full moon show you the way to a happier life. Call 1900 957 223.

Gemini May22-Jun22

Here are the headlines: “Children can sometimes be hard work, say parents; the warmth of the sun is key to the growth of trees, scientists report; people are happier after being with friends, reveal experts.” That was the latest bulletin from News OfT he

Profoundly Obvious. In a world of rapidly changing events, we sometimes take things for granted. Sometimes, though, it’s worth focusing on the joys of everyday life. Don’t get embroiled in a daft quarrel this week – enjoy the simple pleasures of a sense of harmony instead. Let the full moon guide you to the future you long for. Call 1900 957 223.

Cancer Jun23-Jul23

None of us arrive on the planet with a mission statement, or clutching a wishlist detailing all we hope to achieve. But, there’s something inside each of us that guides our hopes and dreams. The cosmos is presenting you with the opportunit­y to review your perspectiv­e regarding a situation which is making you unhappy. Are you taking steps to alleviate the tension, or are you pinching yourself in one place to distract you from the pain in another? It’s time to focus on long-term goals, rather than sticking-plaster solutions. Let the light of the full moon show you the way to a happier life. Call 1900 957 223.

Leo Jul24-Aug23

Apparently, most people don’t enjoy waiting in a station or an airport. Even when they’re filled with a myriad of shops and restaurant­s, most folk rate their experience of them as being ‘adequate’. We spend time in these places because they’re stepping stones on a journey to somewhere more exciting. You feel as if you’re stuck in a holding pattern. Though it’s not thrilling, you’re there for a reason. Fortunatel­y, the way to reach your destinatio­n is becoming clear. The next step on your journey is well worth the wait. Let the full moon guide you to the future you long for. Call 1900 957 223.

Virgo Aug24-Sep23

Sentimenta­lity is an odd emotion. It leads us to attach disproport­ionate value to items that otherwise serve no fathomable purpose. We keep concert tickets, photograph­s – even shells we found on holiday. The real problem arises when we transpose these feelings onto people. You feel tempted to overlook someone’s bad behaviour. The question is, will a friendship predicated on forgivenes­s make you happy? Although you can’t lose sight of your values, don’t let an overly critical attitude rob you of a wonderful bond. Let the light of the full moon show you the way to a happier life. Call 1900 957 223.

Libra Sep24- Oct23

When Venus moves opposite someone’s sign, the suggestion is that they’re going to encounter someone with a big heart. This week, you have the added bonus of Mercury and Venus engaging in this process together. Since Venus is your ruling planet, it suggests that your interactio­ns with a key person are about to play more naturally to your strengths. Your communicat­ion skills are highlighte­d, and your words should find an appreciati­ve audience, too. Just remember that you have the biggest heart of all. Let the full moon guide you to the future you long for. Call 1900 957 223.

Scorpio Oct24- Nov22

Slowly but surely, virtual-reality games seem to be taking over the world. It’s hardly surprising when they enable the people who play them to embark on exciting adventures and live thrilling parallel lives. As Jupiter turns retrograde in your sign this week, it might help you to imagine yourself as a fictional avatar. If you can take a step back from the reality of your situation, your perspectiv­e will enable you to see the best way to proceed. You might not have superpower­s, but you can initiate an important change. Let the light of the full moon show you the way to a happier life. Call 1900 957 223.

Sagittariu­s Nov23- Dec21

Knowing when to let something go is an underrated skill. Nobody likes to lose things – and that’s what letting go can sometimes feel like. It’s never easy to relinquish ownership and control of something that we’ve worked hard for, but sometimes it’s necessary. Just like we sometimes have to make do with a phone with cracks on its screen, there’s something in your life that needs replacing with something new. This week, you must choose whether to let go or to hold on. This change isn’t a loss – it’s an upgrade. Let the full moon guide you to the future you long for. Call 1900 957 223.

Capricorn Dec22-Jan20

“So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessl­y into the past.” This is how F. Scott Fitzgerald chose to end his masterpiec­e, The Great Gatsby. It’s a perfect metaphor for life… one moment we’re being swept along with a following wind, the next we’re in the middle of a tempest feeling disorienta­ted by forces we can’t comprehend. This week, as Mercury and Venus change signs, you have the chance to revisit a past relationsh­ip. Don’t let regret stand in the way of a tide of positive developmen­ts. Let the light of the full moon show you the way to a happier life. Call 1900 957 223.

aquarius Jan21- Feb19

Have you ever wanted something so much that it seemed to drift further away every time you thought of it? What’s worse is reaching a goal when the anticipate­d sense of achievemen­t remains elusive. Perhaps we should learn to desire the things we already possess! Often, we focus our energies so completely on external factors that it can take ages before we realise that the thing we desire is right under our nose. As Jupiter turns retrograde, if you look for happiness within, you just might be amazed by what you find. Let the full moon guide you to the future you long for. Call 1900 957 223.

Pisces Feb20- Mar20

Rarely is anything as bad as we expect it to be. We can spend an age worrying about a particular situation, yet, when the dreaded moment arrives, we simply get on with it. We pool our resources, evaluate carefully, and make the best decision we can. More often than not, we surprise ourselves with our success. Try not to hypothesis­e on imaginary failures this week. The most effective way to prepare is to relax. Rather than focusing on your fears, Venus and Mercury’s change of signs will help you to manifest your desires. Let the light of the full moon show you the way to a happier life. Call 1900 957 223.
