Zodiac forecasts

with Oscar Cainer Alan Partridge, the spoof TV and radio presenter, used to sign off segments with the words, ‘on that bombshell’. The joke, was that it followed a very mundane revelation. As Venus’s link to Uranus signals the ending of the Grand Trine, I’m tempted to make a similar joke. Not because this is mundane, but because ‘bombshell’ suggests shock and surprise. Although since Venus has a surprise in store, it’s going to be one of a pleasant variety!

aries Mar 20 – Apr 19

Novels and poetry often talk about oncein-a-lifetime events. As a result, there are a plethora of instruction manuals teaching us how to cope when we come across one. We’re products of our culture and often seduced into believing we face one such once-in-alifetime moment when, in reality, it’s more commonplace. A current issue is feeling like a very big deal indeed. So, is that feeling of mounting tension going to fizzle out with a quiet pop, or explode and change your life? Just don’t overreact. It’s an exceptional week. The Equinox and the New Moon bring transformation. Call 1900 959 005.

gemini May 21 – Jun 20

leo Jul 22 – Aug 22

libra Sep 23 - Oct 22

We know that time is linear. It marches steadily on day by day, drawing us inexorably with it. It’s inescapable and insistent; kind and cruel. It’s one of the absolutes of our world. And we’re taught this from the youngest age. Yet, despite this, we have days that feel like years and years that feel like days. It’s enough to scramble your brain. How can time be so constant and feel so fickle? We’ll probably never know. Fortunately, there’s enough stability in the rest of your life to keep you grounded today. It’s an exceptional week. The Equinox and the New Moon bring transformation. Call 1900 959 005.

sagittarius Nov 20 - Dec 20

We all love a good rags-to-riches story. From Cinderella to Steve Jobs, we delight in tales in which the underdog triumphs against the odds. Look at Oprah Winfrey, who was fired from her first television job when she was 23. And now, well, she’s Oprah. I draw a parallel to such a prominent figure because we’re all the centres of our own universes. You may feel small and adrift now, wondering what good can come your way. But whatever you’ve lost is not as great as what’s to come. It’s an exceptional week. The Equinox and the New Moon bring transformation. Call 1900 959 005.

aquarius Jan 20 - Feb 17

With heat, a blacksmith can mould metal into any shape. Many materials become malleable under the right conditions. A bag of dry mixture can transform into a cake, if you just add water and heat. Similarly, your present situation is more flexible than you think. The environment might not be ideal for the change you wish, but you can alter the conditions. If you want to heat things up, ask someone to help. But choose wisely. You don’t want to bend the situation so far that it breaks. It’s an exceptional week. The Equinox and the New Moon bring transformation. Call 1900 959 005.

taurus Apr 20 – May 20

Time marches on. But it tends to do so at different speeds depending on the circumstances. When you’re enjoying yourself, or engrossed in a task it sprints by. If you’re stuck in a traffic jam, or waiting to go on holiday, it slows to the most leadenfooted crawl. But, even when time seems to be going slowly, we can be certain of one thing - it is moving. You’re growing impatient with the duration of an episode in your life that you expected to be long over. It is making progress. Just give it a little more... time. Exceptional opportunities arise as the New Moon energises the Equinox. Call 1900 959 005.

cancer Jun 21 – Jul 21

Unless they fall on Full or New Moons, astrologers pay little mind to the links the Moon forms. It moves so quickly that its influence tends to be usurped by longerlasting relationships between slow-moving planets. But today, as your ruler forms a Grand Trine with Uranus and Saturn, it does so in conjunction with Venus. That’s the equivalent of playing the word ‘Moon’ (a humble 6) on a Scrabble board, but hitting the Triple Word Score. The game is far from over, the comeback is on. Exceptional opportunities arise as the New Moon energises the Equinox. Call 1900 959 005.

virgo Aug 23 - Sep 22

Well, this is awkward. Something you want conflicts with something someone else wants. You don’t want to step on any toes, but you find yourself returning to this wish again and again. If you’re so committed to this dream, then why hesitate? You may be ceding too much power to others in areas of your life best left to your own judgement. True, The Rolling Stones did say, ‘You can’t always get what you want...’ but who says they were singing to you? If you want it, go for it. Exceptional opportunities arise as the New Moon energises the Equinox. Call 1900 959 005.

scorpio Oct 23 - Nov 21

Sometimes, the world shifts around us and we’re so focused on the details that we don’t even notice. In fact… it just has! You’ve been so desperately searching for a solution to a tricky person, situation or event that you haven’t looked up for long enough to realise that it’s right in front of you. It might take a while to shake off that gnawing feeling of doubt. But it will go. And, as soon as you begin to allow for the possibility of a different outlook, a new-found optimism will begin to grow. Exceptional opportunities arise as the New Moon energises the Equinox. Call 1900 959 005.

capricorn Dec 2 1 - Jan 19

There’s a famous saying, ‘what goes up must come down’. It comes from the ancient idea of Fortune’s Wheel. The wheel reminded kings, queens and aristocrats that their rise was not entirely of their own doing: it could turn again and, just as it had once brought them high, it could, one day, bring them back down. Today, the wheel has another message for you. What falls down often springs up again! You’re due to start experiencing the bounce effect. An exciting change is on offer. Exceptional opportunities arise as the New Moon energises the Equinox. Call 1900 959 005.

pisces Feb 18 - Mar 19

I understand you’ve been wronged and are deserving of sympathy. But there’s always a time, after we’ve suffered an emotional injury, when licking our wounds only serves to stop them from beginning to heal. You can’t hide away forever - and you don’t really want to! There’s no benefit in feeding the fire of anger either. It’ll only make you rush decisions. Instead, it’s time to search for a hidden silver lining. It may be hard to find, but it’s there, and it will make all the difference. Exceptional opportunities arise as the New Moon energises the Equinox. Call 1900 959 005.
