Zodiac forecasts

Mercury conjuncts Uranus again today. As this is the second of a ‘three pass transit’, we’d expect this to be the middle of the story. The first hit would have introduced the themes, the middle would encompass the drama, and the finale would bring the resolve. Yet, as Mercury slows down before turning direct next week, it has Uranus for company. It suggests that whatever changes you’re reviewing, or issues you’re unable to free yourself from, the answer is closer than you realise.

aries Mar 20 – Apr 19

They say: ‘The darkest hour is just before the dawn.’ But is that always true? Sometimes, the darkest hour is just before Mercury turns direct! Somewhere, in your world, you’ve been dealing with a light that’s going out, or a source of hope that has been unfairly withdrawn. But it’s only a temporary test. Sometimes, it’s only when we look hard at what has the potential to go wrong, that we can see how to put it right. As Venus returns to your sign, that’s the blessed revelation that awaits you now.

gemini May 21 – Jun 20

We must all be wary of strong opinions. Whenever we feel something is absolutely right or totally wrong, we gain, in a strange way, a sense of confirmation and assurance. ‘This is me. This is what I think, feel and believe, what I stand for. This is who I am.’ All fine, as long as we’re not revelling so deeply in certainty that objectivity deserts us. With Mercury linking with Uranus, there’s a possibility that you may have been wrong about something. Don’t be too proud to reconsider an entrenched view. There’s lots to tell you about May - and you’re going to like it. Call 1900 959 005.

leo Jul 22 – Aug 22

Some people follow odd diets and disciplines. They may allow themselves only to eat food of a particular colour, or that has been cooked in a certain way. Or they may carry out rituals before they let themselves do something. When asked why, they may cite reasons of religion or health. There’s no law against any of this. But nor is there a law that says superstitious behaviour automatically brings benefits. As Mercury links with Uranus, it may be time to look, this weekend, at a questionable belief. There are great things to discover in your indepth forecast for May. Call 1900 959 005.

libra Sep 23 - Oct 22

Why isn’t the world full of peace, love and harmony? Why don’t people show each other more support and respect? Why do we all say that we want this, yet act in ways that suggest a different agenda? I’m not seriously attempting to answer all this today, in a very short forecast. But it’s worth pointing out that often, the reason for ‘bad behaviour’ is fear. Who, in your world, is now feeling unreasonably and unnecessarily afraid? And what, as Venus moves opposite your sign, can you do to reassure them? There’s lots to tell you about May - and you’re going to like it. Call 1900 959 005.

sagittarius Nov 20 - Dec 20

Simple solutions are often sniffed at by clever people who prefer complex and intricate arrangements. Why have all those brains if they aren’t going to be put to work? But the smartest people are the ones who know that there’s no point in making something difficult if there’s a chance of making it easy. You have spent too long grappling with baffling matters. As Mercury links with Uranus today, it’s time to stand back from a confusing argument, and reach a gentle, basic, agreement instead. There are great things to discover in your indepth forecast for May. Call 1900 959 005.

aquarius Jan 20 - Feb 17

We must always try to think things through. We owe it to ourselves to use our intelligence to solve problems. But we must remember that the purpose of a future is to surprise us. If existence didn’t retain its capacity to do that, what would be the point of it? You’re stumped and can’t see how to climb a particular mountain or move a certain obstacle. Fear not. Retrograde Mercury now appears alongside your ruler Uranus. Just because you can’t yet see a solution, doesn’t mean you won’t see it soon. There’s lots to tell you about May - and you’re going to like it. Call 1900 959 005.

taurus Apr 20 – May 20

We can all have a tendency to ruin something because we don’t feel we deserve it. We can all hide things because we feel guilty about having them. Unconsciously, there’s a self-destruct button in us, and we can all punish ourselves by denying ourselves what others proudly flaunt. Our logic isn’t always obvious, though, and can be tough to acknowledge. Aren’t you equally entitled to enjoyment? Right now, you’re worthy of so much more than you’re allowing yourself to have. Why deny it? Why hide it? May is the month you’ve been waiting for. For good news, call 1900 959 005.

cancer Jun 21 – Jul 21

‘Modesty: the gentle art of enhancing your charm by pretending not to be aware of it’ said Oliver Herford. There is indeed reason for you to use your charms and be respected for them. But we tread a fine line when wielding such magnetism, and must be wary of being labelled as superficial. When we display our feathers, and impress people from a distance, they draw near. Yet at close quarters, there’s little more charming than humility. Just don’t be shy about demonstrating what makes you so special today. Make May a magical month.

virgo Aug 23 - Sep 22

Don’t we all love the intrigue of a good mystery? And, of course, there’s no greater curiosity than the puzzle of human nature. Investigating motives and agendas is always popular. What was the meaning of that? Did that have a purpose? What we must guard against is reading too deeply into the evidence we uncover. Following a vague clue can lead us down the wrong line of enquiry, and lead to false assumptions. Today, see things for what they are, not for what you might like to read into them. May is the month you’ve been waiting for. For good news, call 1900 959 005.

scorpio Oct 23 - Nov 21

Matters of the heart rarely look at practical solutions. It’s not uncommon for us to abandon our duties to follow our heart’s desire. Yet right now, certain criteria need to be met. And, though it may not feel romantic, there are responsibilities to take care of. Grand gestures can be great. But the small moments shouldn’t be overlooked. For it’s there that the foundations of life are built. If you feel worried, heed the little things today. It’s here that you’ll discover a rewarding way to move forward. Make May a magical month. For your inspiration packed forecast, call 1900 959 005.

capricorn Dec 2 1 - Jan 19

Most celebrities crave admiration. But can adulation ever be a substitute for true love? And what if the pedestal they find themselves on wobbles and throws them when they reach out for genuine, lasting affection? Perhaps people in the public eye who seem to be unlucky in love, struggle to find real tenderness and warmth. Yet what is it that you crave most right now? Look at what someone’s genuinely offering to share with you today – as long as it’s more than your status that they’re interested in. May is the month you’ve been waiting for. For good news, call 1900 959 005.

pisces Feb 18 - Mar 19

Sometimes we extravagantly decorate our lives in order to maintain a sense of security. That’s okay as long as there’s enough space to be filled. Sometimes, we spoil our loved ones to hold their affections. That’s all right as long as there’s reason to spoil them. Yet, the plumpest pillow can still suffocate. And we can’t just rearrange cushions, no matter how luxurious they are. Material comfort only pleases when we’re emotionally content. Let generosity reveal your feelings, rather than be a substitute for them. Make May a magical month. For your inspiration packed forecast, call 1900 959 005.
