Zodiac forecasts
Earlier this week I suggested that, with Venus in Taurus, we could spoil ourselves a little. But this weekend Venus makes a strong connection with Saturn, the celestial minister in charge of imposing austerity upon the populace. Some argue that austerity is necessary to ensure longterm prosperity. But even if that’s true, we don’t have to like it! Fortunately Venus and Saturn’s link is both harmonious and supportive. Any pruning will indeed encourage future growth. And what’s most important to your heart is ring-fenced.
aries Mar 21 – Apr 19
No one could ever accuse you of lacking hope. You have it in abundance. Where other signs might crave hope and drive, your problem is more one of management of those two fine qualities. The phrases, ‘biting off more than you can chew’ or ‘ fighting on more than one front’ come to mind. Therein lies your advice. One situation in your life has become tired or been forgotten. The skies right now suggest that you put all your energy and hope into that to unlock a world of possibilites. But remember, one thing at a time! The upcoming trine brings fresh hope for the future. Call 1900 959 005.
gemini May 21 – Jun 20
Transformation doesn’t have to be huge to make a difference. In fact, it is often the smaller, more subtle changes in behaviour that can have the biggest longer-lasting benefits. Lately you may have been concerned about where you fit in the scheme of things - or with regard to one person or group. It’s an empty fear, though it might not seem like it to you. You need reassurance, and the skies - and I - are here to offer it. One small transformation, a minor re-think on your part, will be enough to achieve the change you seek. The upcoming trine brings fresh hope for the future. Call 1900 959 005.
leo Jul 23 – Aug 22
‘Aim for the Moon, and if you miss, you’ll land among the stars.’ We’ve all heard that phrase. It speaks of boldness, ambition, hope, and of not settling for second best. What holds us back in life is fear of failure, worrying about making a mistake. Is that you right now? The skies promise a busy few days leading up to the Venus-Mars trine. It’s a period of opportunity, starting today. Focus on your hopes. Don’t be greedy: pick just one. Resolve today to take at least one action to put you on the path to realising that hope. The upcoming trine brings fresh hope for the future. Call 1900 959 005.
libra Sep 23 - Oct 22
When choosing what to buy when out shopping, you rarely cut corners. So why start now? Price isn’t the only factor to consider when making key choices. Your reputation for taking time over decisions (but coming to the right conclusion) is well documented. But, for some reason, this natural trait has abandoned you for a short while. Most importantly, it has even affected your judgement of your own worth. This crisis of confidence is temporary. Today and the weekend will see you back to your surefooted self. The upcoming trine brings fresh hope for the future. Call 1900 959 005.
sagittarius Nov 22 - Dec 21
Exuberant goal celebrations are part of football. But the French star Thierry Henry used to be criticised for his nonchalant manner after scoring. In normal life, few of us throw a party every time we just do our job right. To others, your abilities appear effortless but they come from hard work and experience. You needn’t be a Premiership player to profit from a skill you’ve mastered, although the pay packet would be nice! Today, make sure you get what your abilities deserve - and your charming persuasion commands. The upcoming trine brings fresh hope for the future. Call 1900 959 005.
aquarius Jan 20 - Feb 18
There’s always more than one way to look at a personality trait. Being ‘single-minded’ could be interpreted as ‘blinkered’ by someone else. Consider the well-known Aquarian trait of, ahem, single-mindedness, for example. In particular, your unending search for perfection. It sometimes happens that in striving for an ideal, the searcher misses out on other things along the way. Is it just a teeny bit possible that something in your life is pretty good now, but you aren’t noticing it. Perhaps a reappraisal is needed. The upcoming trine brings fresh hope for the future. Call 1900 959 005.
taurus Apr 20 – May 20
At the risk of overstating things, can I remind you that Venus, your ruler, is currently ‘at home’, residing happily in Taurus. To describe this merely as a boon would be a huge understatement. I am not quite saying that you can do no wrong right now, nor that you will succeed in almost everything you attempt. But in the realms of generosity, kindness, sensual indulgence, attraction and allure, you should be at the top of your game for a while. Let happiness, for you and those around you, replace obligations for a while. The upcoming trine brings inspiration and hope. Call 1900 959 005.
cancer Jun 21 – Jul 22
Being wary is essential for self-preservation. For some, perhaps you, it is in the DNA of your personality. It’s healthy, usually. But if prudent wariness develops into caginess it can prevent you taking any risks at all. That sensation of being on guard, on tenterhooks, most of the time can be debilitating and cut you off from opportunities. Something on offer to you now represents a small risk, and perhaps requires a leap of faith on your part. In the run-up to next week’s helpful VenusMars trine, there is no better time to say yes. The upcoming trine brings inspiration and hope. Call 1900 959 005.
virgo Aug 23 - Sep 22
It’s always a surprise when a Virgo discovers that a decision they made might not be working out how they thought. Are you in that position now, needing to revisit a difficult issue? Perhaps even having to say sorry to someone. It’s hardly a surprise, considering how much astrological activity there has been in your sector of the sky over the last few months. You like to be in full possession of the facts before making a decision. Perhaps you didn’t know everything back then. You know more now. Today you can rethink. The upcoming trine brings inspiration and hope. Call 1900 959 005.
scorpio Oct 23 - Nov 21
Going round in circles is even more dispiriting than just being plain old stuck! You think you’re getting somewhere, then everything unravels. At least when you’re stuck, there’s always hope for a breakthrough. You’ve experienced ever-decreasing circular motion for a while: repeated conversations, the same old hold-ups, renewed thwartings. There’s also a particular someone you’ve struggled to communicate with. You might even be on the point of giving up on that too. Stick with it. A breakthrough is at hand The upcoming trine brings inspiration and hope. Call 1900 959 005.
capricorn Dec 2 2 - Jan 19
Shakespeare wrote, in Macbeth: ‘Life... is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.’ Macbeth is unravelling, after the death of his wife, so the words may be true for a tragic character. But nothing is further from the truth for us. In the real world, the story of your life is a tale told by a Capricorn of ingenuity and intuition, most definitely someone of integrity and sanity. If you can trust in your abilities and in life’s tendency to work out for the best, you will soon see confirmation of both. The upcoming trine brings inspiration and hope. Call 1900 959 005.
pisces Feb 19 - Mar 20
Persistence pays off; often enough for history to confirm that great talent or a great idea combined with tireless tenacity can win through. Examples abound: Christopher Columbus lobbied for years to persuade heads of state to sponsor his strange idea of reaching Japan by sailing westward; Elvis Presley was fired after his first performance at the Grand Ole Opry; JK Rowling had her first Harry Potter book turned down by 12 major publishers. Your big idea is a good one. The cosmos is on your side. Stick with it. The upcoming trine brings inspiration and hope. Call 1900 959 005.
