YOUR STARS

We know that a negotiation has been successful when it ends with both parties feeling slightly disappointed. At least that’s one way of putting a positive spin on the news. But if that’s true, perhaps it’s because we’re destined to be dissatisfied. Maybe happiness is fleeting by nature and arrives or disappears regardless of the deals or safeguards that are put in place. Today’s news is that we have more influence than we think.

ARIES MAR 21 – APR 20

When you don’t feel able to fully commit to something, you can’t expect to get much back in return for your effort. If you compare it to the activity you would prefer to be engaged in, it’s always going to feel like second best. There’s an argument that suggests that for as long as we think something lacks merit and value, we won’t be able to find any merit and value in it, even if it’s packed to the brim with these qualities. Positive thoughts during the Equinox, will have especially powerful results for you. The Equinox brings powerful positive change. Call 1300 017 319.

LEO JUL 24 – AUG 23

Even people who are known for their sincerity aren’t always completely honest with themselves. We all have thoughts we don’t want to have, and feel emotions we’d prefer not to feel. Whether they clash with our ethical code or embody an attitude we’d prefer not to have, we feel uncomfortable about admitting to these ideas, so we try to quash them. But if you courageously accept your feelings during the Equinox (even if you don’t want to be feeling them), you will find it helps you to become stronger. Use the magic of the Equinox to create change. Call 1300 017 319.

SAGITTARIUS NOV 23 – DEC 21

“How are you doing? You keep saying that you’re fine, but is that true? Maybe the fact you keep saying you're fine is a sign of the fact that you’re not. You’re just pretending to be fine aren’t you?” There’s nothing like this sort of one-sided conversation to put us off balance and make us doubt how OK we actually are. You’re doing fine, apart from the fact that you’ve got someone whose questions are undermining your confidence. The Equinox empowers you to let go of unwanted projections. In fact, The Equinox can rejuvenate your world, find out how by calling 1300 017 319.

TAURUS APR 21 – MAY 21

People are not trees. We can’t take root wherever it suits us, and stand strong and tall despite the ravages of time. To be human is to be adaptable, to move with the ebbs and flows of the universe, and to thrive in the face of difference and uncertainty. Sometimes we might wish that this weren’t the case. But how happy would you really be to live without progression, without any possibility of development? An upcoming change is for the best. The Equinox brings you clarity of vision as well as inspiration. Capture the auspicious energy of the Equinox. Call 1300 017 319.

VIRGO AUG 24 – SEP 23

Have you noticed how often people’s actions don’t line up with their words? They might promise to do something, but the outcome looks like something else entirely. ‘”Ah,” they say, ”I tried but …” You’ve never been one to make digressive excuses. When you say you’ll do something, you do it, and you optimistically hope that others will do the same. Yet, at the Equinox, someone’s inconsistencies can work to your advantage. If you accept unusual eventualities, they will work out surprisingly well. The Equinox brings cosmic gifts your way. Call 1300 017 319.

CAPRICORN DEC 22 – JAN 20

When we’re feeling confident we can get away with all sorts of things — the more self-assurance we have, the higher we can reach. Yet no one is infallible or exempt from the potential consequences of their actions. It’s just that people who are more assertive are less likely to be questioned, even when they’re doing things they shouldn’t be doing. You can take advantage of the powerful boost the Equinox brings your way and use it to break your way out of a situation that’s holding you back. Give yourself the best Equinox present ever. Call 1300 017 319.

GEMINI MAY 22 – JUN 22

You keep finding yourself in situations in which you have to make decisions that will benefit other people rather than yourself. From colleagues, to close family, even those with whom you have a professional relationship, it seems everyone’s putting pressure on you to fulfil their needs. Yet you’re not easily pushed around. Before you leap to the rescue you need to feel empathy for their problems. If you feel compelled to take action over the Equinox, go for it. Soon enough, you’ll have time for you. Let the warmth and power of the Equinox inspire you. Call 1300 017 319.

LIBRA SEP 24 – OCT 23

Although the movements of the planets have been used to guide us for centuries, my astrological predecessors worked in a very different cultural climate. They sometimes made acrossthe-board statements. So, if someone was born under a specific aspect, they’d say they were likely to be a ne’er-do-well. Yet we’re all born good, not bad, and even difficult situations contain hope. During the Equinox, you can start to see someone (or something) in a new and much more positive light. How will the Equinox transform your life? Find out, call 1300 017 319.

AQUARIUS JAN 21 – FEB 19

Is today the day to make changes, embark upon a new path, embrace a challenge and learn something new? What about your responsibilities, routines and creature comforts? Not to mention the fact that overhauling our lives tends to be met with scepticism from those around us. Our nearest and dearest love us as we are, and the idea of change is unsettling. Yet, the innovative aspect of your nature is itching to add something new to your life right now. The Equinox is the perfect time for this to happen. The Equinox energises your life this week. Call 1300 017 319.

CANCER JUN 23 – JUL 23

Could you be leading a secret life, so secret that it’s hidden from even you? Is it possible that a strong denial of such a possibility merely indicates that this could indeed be the case? I’m not trying to undermine your confidence, in fact, the very opposite. When we question our ideas about what’s normal and real, we throw ourselves off balance and that’s when we strike the core of our identity. The Equinox reveals a new vista for you. Your true intentions become clearer as a misunderstanding evaporates. The Equinox brings potential for transformation. Call 1300 017 319.

SCORPIO OCT 24 – NOV 22

It’s all very well to say ”nothing ventured, nothing gained” but haven’t we all taken risks and received nothing in return? So, maybe the opposite is true and we should sit back and hope things come to us. Yet, we instinctively know that in order to make life work, we need to be switched on and engaged in what’s happening. Sometimes that might mean leaping into action, while at other times it might mean sitting tight. Both require bravery and conviction, qualities that you have in abundance. The Equinox can change your life for the better. Call 1300 017 319.

PISCES FEB 20 – MAR 20

No matter our culture or society, we all know that mind-altering substances should never be given to children. However we permit the consumption of intoxicating liquids as soon as young people reach a certain age, and we often endorse the idea of people getting sloshed to have fun. Where’s the logic? It’s as if we think it’s a good idea for adults to use alcohol in order to become more childlike. It’s definitely not the answer to your issues today. Yet a degree of silliness will enable you to get out of a dull situation. It’s Equinox week. Let it guide you to what you desire. Call 1300 017 319.
