Zodiac forecasts

Today, Venus moves into Cancer, a region of the zodiac where the planet of love feels welcomed and at home. As the son of a Cancerian mother, I’ve got first-hand experience of the warmth, creativity and emotional depths this sign offers. That’s why the return of Venus is something to celebrate, no matter which sign is your celestial home. Venus represents beauty, harmony and value, but it’s most famous quality, love, can truly shine through.

aries Mar 20 – Apr 19

Suppose you were granted eternal life, but those you love were left to carry on living as mere mortals? It would soon become a curse rather than a gift. Even if the gift were shared with everyone, it wouldn’t be the boon we imagine. How would we cope with the people we can only be around for a limited time? Imagine endlessly long parties, or weekends with your extended family drifting on and on and on. Life is precious, and it is our duty to appreciate it. You’ll find that easy to do today. How will Venus bring positive change to your life? Call 1900 959 005.

gemini May 21 – Jun 20

Goodbye passion, kindness and beauty. Now that Venus is leaving your sign you can return to rational, logical calculation, right? Er, not quite. There’s nothing binary about Venus. She isn’t going from 1 to 0 as she bids Gemini farewell. During her procession through your celestial home you’ve discovered feelings that are now an indivisible part of you. Even if the shift has been subtle, it’s something to be grateful for. Hold on to your heartstrings. They remain an important lifeline to solid emotional ground. How will Venus bring positive change to your life? Call 1900 959 005.

leo Jul 22 – Aug 22

Why bother? What’s the point? When life veers from one let-down to another it’s no wonder we end up disappointed. Perfection is an elusive state and, in its absence, it’s easy to fall into a negativity. But how about the beauty that can be found in imperfection? The gift of life itself is easy to take for granted. The moment we take time to appreciate it, our moods shift and the world looks beautiful again. As Venus changes signs today, let it be a day to reflect on just how blessed you are. How will Venus bring positive change to your life? Call 1900 959 005.

libra Sep 23 - Oct 22

Turn on the TV, open a newspaper or check out your newsfeed and you hear the same negative messages of doom and impending financial crisis. But just suppose, instead of talking about how there isn’t enough money, we heard experts discussing the world’s lack of love; how kindness and compassion were in short supply. We’d rise up in outrage. We’d soon show them how much we care about each other. As Venus changes signs, you can find enough of anything that you truly need. How will Venus bring positive change to your life? Call 1900 959 005.

sagittarius Nov 20 - Dec 20

Even when someone means a lot to you, you don’t always need to see eye to eye. Agreement isn’t the key to a successful relationship. Arguing can be the stimulus keeping things healthy. Sparks might fly sometimes, but they add life and creativity. When the going gets tough, though, the relationship needs to offer support. The movement of Venus today brings healing to a relationship that has come under strain recently. It can move forward into an exciting new dimension. How will Venus bring positive change to your life? Call 1900 959 005.

aquarius Jan 20 - Feb 17

You have many talents. Whether it’s your exceptional problem-solving, or your instincts, or a bit of both, you’re often right. (There, I’ve said it!) Paradoxically, you’re sometimes reticent about sharing your conclusions because you know that people don’t always respond well to your brilliance. You’re right to be diplomatic. But don’t be tactful to the detriment of your principles or prospects of progress. Stand your ground on an issue you feel strongly about today. How will Venus bring positive change to your life? Call 1900 959 005.

taurus Apr 20 – May 20

We’ve all had crushes on strangers, people we have no hope of meeting, let alone getting to know. Crushes are maintained by projecting romanticised ideas on someone: like colouring in the blank of their identity with our own hues. The resulting picture seems so perfect that no one can measure up to it. As Venus changes signs today, it helps you see people for who they really are. Despite (or because of) their flaws, your connection can be special. Reality wins hands down over fantasy. How will Venus bring positive change to your life? Call 1900 959 005.

cancer Jun 21 – Jul 21

We live in a world that people from 100 years ago would scarcely recognise. Technology, space travel, and cross-continent communication has changed our planet and how we live our lives. Yet, we still crave the things we’ve craved since time began. We’re defined by the depth of our love, the loyalty of our friendships, and our capacity for forgiveness. It’s these characteristics that hold the key to happiness and fulfilment. As Venus enters your sign, plenty of that is on its way. How will Venus bring positive change to your life? Call 1900 959 005.

virgo Aug 23 - Sep 22

Virgos, unfairly in my opinion, have a reputation for being critical. What you do have, is a strong sense of responsibility. And, being ruled by Mercury, you also seek clear understanding. When you combine all that with your concern if something appears to defy logic and work against progress, you feel compelled to protest. That’s very different to gossip, or sabotage. You’re motivated by compassion. As Venus changes signs, show how much you care. Appreciation is coming. How will Venus bring positive change to your life? Call 1900 959 005.

scorpio Oct 23 - Nov 21

Following Mars and Saturn’s weekend dalliance, it may seem to be taking for ever for a situation to resolve. It’s not easy when you like things to be sorted out quickly and efficiently. You have a natural ability to find solutions and resolutions to scenarios, while those around you are still figuring out what’s going on. As Venus changes signs today, the progress you’re so impatient to see is starting to happen. You’ll see signs of it today. A little more patience is required, that’s all. How will Venus bring positive change to your life? Call 1900 959 005.

capricorn Dec 2 1 - Jan 19

We all like to be valued, respected and taken seriously. We think our advice is sound and ought to be heard. It’s frustrating when so few of our exchanges follow this pattern. And it’s difficult when we feel that we’re listening to the people we care about, but they’re not reciprocating. You have a choice to make. You can let this come to a head and face the possibility of a fall out. Or you can display your care and level-headedness by taking steps to diffuse any difficulties. How will Venus bring positive change to your life? Call 1900 959 005.

pisces Feb 18 - Mar 19

Some things just have to be taken on trust. We trust our friends to cover our backs. We trust that gravity will stop us from falling off the planet, and we trust that life is not a dream. The universe often asks us to believe in things we’ve seen little evidence of. It’s up to us whether we do or not. It’s easy to be sceptical. If something sounds too good to be true then it probably is. But not always. Be brave: take something wonderful, and not a little surprising, at face value today. How will Venus bring positive change to your life? Call 1900 959 005.
