ARIES MAR 21 - APR 20

What makes a great leader? Is it self-confidence, the ability to make autonomous decisions and an unwillingn­ess to take advice? Or is it having the courage to acknowledg­e and learn from mistakes, to seek different opinions and find middle ground? Trying times are best faced together; we can find ways to support one another, even with the challenges of socialdist­ancing. As Mercury moves opposite your ruler, it’s important to communicat­e clearly. A surprising source of support is on its way. When it all feels ‘too much’ and you need support, call 1300 017 319.

LEO JUL 24 - AUG 23

We all know the story about the donkey and the stick. But before I remind you, I want to be clear: you’re not a donkey. And, in this day and age, no animal should ever be threatened with anything. Donkeys have rights just like everyone else. If you feel as if someone’s trying to sweet talk you into doing something you don’t want to do, remember that there’s no justificat­ion. You don’t have to please anyone. Focus on looking for the carrot instead. It should be easy to find.

When it all feels ‘too much’ and you need support, call 1300 017 319.

SAGITTARIU­S NOV 23 - DEC 21

Nothing is as unifying as a collective sense of outrage and indignatio­n. If we’re seething with inner furies, we’ll seize the chance to rant and rage, gossip and bluster. It’s cathartic and, for a time, it works. But there’s only so long that social interactio­ns and a sense of belonging can be founded on anger and injustice. We need more than negativity to sustain us. The cosmic outlook encourages you to take an opportunit­y to build a bridge, make a connection, or reach shared understand­ing. Don’t waste it. When it all feels ‘too much’ and you need support, call 1300 017 319.

TAURUS APR 21 - MAY 21

Do you really want to know what’s coming up in the future? I often hear from people who want to know what lies ahead, but only if it’s positive. I always tell them that the good news is that I only work with good news. Or, perhaps it would be fairer to say that I can’t help but seek to find a positive aspect, even in the most challengin­g of situations. If you’re anticipati­ng a coming event with a degree of apprehensi­on, and avoiding making a decision, it’s time to be more confident and decisive. Anxious? Call to hear your in-depth, four-minute forecast 1300 017 319.

VIRGO AUG 24 - SEP 23

One of the reasons we get wound up every so often is that it teaches us to appreciate the delights of winding down. A tricky situation you’ve been dealing with recently is becoming less intense. Since you’re well on the way to resolving a difficult issue, and the pressure you’ve been under is beginning to abate, you’re experienci­ng a lessening of tension that will make what you’ve been through seem worthwhile. Soon enough, you’ll be able to appreciate the reward your efforts have achieved. Anxious? Call to hear your in-depth, four-minute forecast 1300 017 319.

CAPRICORN DEC 22 - JAN 20

Someone wants to share important informatio­n with you. But in order for their communicat­ion to be effective, not only do you need to be listening, you also need to think creatively about what’s being said. Their words won’t adequately express their feelings. There are times when we all find it difficult to express what’s in our hearts; we find all sorts of ways to disguise the depth of our innermost thoughts. As Mercury links with your ruler, you can uncover the message behind the words. Anxious? Call to hear your forecast 1300 017 319.

GEMINI MAY 22 - JUN 22

Wouldn’t it be great if you could bend the elements to suit your purposes? Fancy a glorious sunny day? All you have to do is ask. A white Christmas? No problem. Yet, delightful as this might sound, wouldn’t it be better to learn to make the most of the weather, whatever it brings? You’re feeling powerless with regards to an emotionall­y complex situation. But if you can accept that for now, at least, that’s the way it is, you’ll find the freedom to focus on an issue you can do something about.

LIBRA SEP 24 - OCT 23

The back of the mind is a bit like a psychologi­cal ‘cupboard under the stairs’. It’s where we throw the odds and ends, the ‘what-ifs’, the awkward encounters, and the moments we’d rather forget; hoping that we’ll never have to dredge them out. Often, however, we do. Although we’d prefer life to be clean and tidy, it’s rarely that simple. As Mercury aligns with the cosmic teacher, Saturn, once you’ve found the courage to look at a fact you’d rather not face, you’ll unlock a breakthrou­gh. For advice to guide you through the challenges, call 1300 017 319.

AQUARIUS JAN 21 - FEB 19

We need contrast in our lives. If we never experience sadness, the sensation of feeling happy loses its value. Similarly, we need light and shade, otherwise everything becomes dull and grey. So, even when we feel as if life’s presenting us with an endless list of challenges to deal with, there are still moments when we can experience happiness. I’m not trying to warn you that you’re heading towards a difficult time. It’s just a reminder that you don’t need to be suspicious of a generous gesture today. For advice to guide you through the challenges, call 1300 017 319.

CANCER JUN 23 - JUL 23

A recent experience has called for you to demonstrat­e your bravery; you’re much more courageous than you realise, and more fearless than many of the people in your life. You have developed inner strength and resilience and can cope with pressurise­d situations that would make others quake in their boots. Your current challenge is reinforcin­g your determinat­ion and inviting you to keep moving forwards towards the destiny you deserve. Don’t doubt yourself today.

Need support? What’s the best way to plan ahead? Call 1300 017 319.

SCORPIO OCT 24 - NOV 22

They tell us that it’s not good to let our imaginatio­ns run away with us. And that may be so. But surely it’s better than allowing it to run away without us. Your creative thought processes are always valuable; but today they will enable you to deal with a challenge. If you find yourself wondering whether you can trust your instincts about whether something is possible or not, look back to a recent past experience. It’s down to your ability to put your thoughts into action. And you’re good at that.

PISCES FEB 20 - MAR 20

Life sometimes feels like Groundhog Day; as if we’re going through the same motions and encounteri­ng the same people, situations and problems, day in, day out. Is this when the universe is trying to tell us that we’ve come as far as we can hope to go? Of course, not. Often, repetition is the cosmic way of showing us that we have overlooked a vital clue that will lead us into a better future. Keep your eyes peeled and you’ll soon wake up to find that a problem has, miraculous­ly, moved on. Need support? What’s the best way to plan ahead? Call 1300 017 319.

 ??  ?? Maybe yesterday’s forecast about daring to imagine a fairer world seemed naive. Yet I’m under no illusion as to how difficult a task it is. Fairness is a human concept; we don’t often see it in nature. And, since it’s highly subjective, it’s hard to manifest. Yet as Mercury aligns tensely with Saturn and Mars, there are some arguments we’ll feel compelled to make and some laws we’ll need to lay down. Kindness doesn’t mean being foolhardy.
