YOUR STARS

I often seem to dream about my favourite stand up comedian and wake up laughing. Yet the same jokes don’t have the same effect in the light of day. And since talking about dreams is a social faux pas (they’re rarely as interesting once they’re outside the head they originated from) I don’t share the humour. As Mercury changes direction this weekend, the cosmos is awakening. The Sun’s link with dreamy Neptune suggests that something useful will emerge from any recent confusion.

ARIES MAR 21 - APR 20

They tell us that everything has a price; that you can’t get something for nothing. And that only idealists believe in the concept of perpetual motion and pollution-free, cost-free energy. Yet some things grow exponentially. When glints of worry and doubt are introduced into a scenario, they develop at such a rate that they affect everyone involved. Before you know it, a great idea can be scuppered before it’s been given a fair chance. Fortunately, trust works in the same way. Do that this weekend. Solve problems. Ease troubles. Find solutions!

LEO JUL 24 - AUG 23

It’s as if you’ve bought a new pair of shoes that have given you a blister. Yet if you persevere with them, they’re going to end up fitting so snuggly that they’ll end up being your favourite footwear. When we find ourselves in new situations it takes a while to adapt. Yet it’s better to try something new than just stick with something that’s worn out. It would be easy to underestimate your power to bring constructive change into your world this weekend. Keep taking small steps and you’ll go far. For great advice to guide you through this week. Call 1300 017 319

SAGITTARIUS NOV 23 - DEC 21

You’re a Sagittarian. You have talents and skills that others lack. You also have an enviable depth of experience in regards to a situation that is bewildering someone who needs your advice. Yet you’ve been underestimating your talents and overlooking your abilities. Rather than dwelling on what you ‘can’t do’ this weekend, and berating yourself for past mistakes, as Mercury begins to move forward once again it encourages you to focus on your attributes. You know how to solve this problem. Make the most of your opportunities. For inspiring news, call: 1300 017 319

TAURUS APR 21 - MAY 21

It’s become something of a cliche for psychiatrists to trace contemporary problems back to childhood experiences. The problem is that it can give people an excuse for their behaviour: ‘I can’t help how I am... it’s because such-and-such happened to me’. Maybe we should use such prompts to reflect on how our past actions inform our current behaviour. Once we’ve understood what’s perpetuating a bad habit, it’s easier to break it. The weekend brings a chance to break a chain once and for all. What does your heart really desire and can you achieve it? Call 1300 017 319

VIRGO AUG 24 - SEP 23

As Mercury, your ruler, changes direction and begins to move forwards this weekend, you’ll discover exactly what you need to know. But if you’re not sure what you need to know, how are you going to know it when you hear it? Perhaps the information will resound so deeply within that it leaves you in no doubt? It might affect you on such a profound level that logic flies out the window and you understand, in your heart of hearts, what action you need to take. Don’t dismiss a hunch this weekend. Live your life to the full. For helpful advice, call 1300 017 319

CAPRICORN DEC 22 - JAN 20

Sometimes it’s not our words so much as our silences that speak the loudest. It’s what remains hanging in the air, heavy but unspoken. What’s understood but not articulated. We all have unpredictable thoughts. We might like to think we don’t care what others are thinking... but sometimes we need to ask difficult questions and face the facts. This weekend, Mercury’s change of direction enables you to talk through a fear and overturn a prejudice. You have a chance to make a difference. Auspicious alignments! Good times are here! Call 1300 017 319

GEMINI MAY 22 - JUN 22

It could be a tectonic plate moving, or is the spin dryer going into overdrive? Before you contact anyone about a potential earthquake, it’s worth checking for a more mundane reason for the shake up that’s occurring in your world. As Mercury, your ruler, turns direct it enables you to get to the root of the troublesome issue that’s been taking up so much of your time and energy. With your mind focused and clear this weekend, you’ll find a reassuringly easy solution. Things are better than they seem. View your challenges in a new light and overcome them. Call 1300 017 319

LIBRA SEP 24 - OCT 23

Are you really reading your horoscope? Or are you dreaming it? Could you actually be staring at a commercial for laundry detergent? Since your ingeniously creative Libran qualities are being highlighted by the Sun/Neptune link, you’re capable of wild imaginings. A big decision awaits this weekend. You’ve been desperately keen to move a complicated situation forwards, but your attempts have been stymied. Just be sure your assessment is based on fact, not fiction... then act. Change is possible now. Get some valuable help. Call 1300 017 319

AQUARIUS JAN 21 - FEB 19

You don’t have to do as much as you think. The situation you’re dealing with appears more unnerving than it actually is. The more energy you invest in thinking about it, the more complex it will become. This weekend, as Mercury begins to move forwards, it’s time to adopt a simpler tactic. If you don’t see an immediate result, try gently modifying your approach. As long as you stay engaged with what unfolds, and apply your experience, you’ll be able to use logic to work out the best way to proceed. Nothing is hopeless. If you want good news, call: 1300 017 319

CANCER JUN 23 - JUL 23

None of us know anyone who is completely free. Yet whether we’re stuck in a rut (or not) we desire to have more freedom in our lives. We think that our responsibilities are preventing us from making certain choices; but without those factors to keep us in check, what would life be like? Your emotional bonds are an essential part of who you are. This weekend’s link between the Sun and sensitive Neptune brings the opportunity to deepen a relationship in a way that will make you want to stay put. Will the dream you’re chasing come true? Find out! Call 1300 017 319

SCORPIO OCT 24 - NOV 22

Do you ever get the feeling that life is a never-ending puzzle? Nothing seems to come easily. Perhaps that’s why, when we finally find a way of getting from A to B, we seldom think to question it. As long as we get there, we tolerate all kinds of roadblocks, diversions and bumps along the way. An awkward process is working... for now. But there is an easier way; without all the difficulty, unreliability, and confusion. As Mercury changes direction, take a shortcut when it presents itself. You’ve got so much to look forward to this week. Call 1300 017 319

PISCES FEB 20 - MAR 20

It was the Roman poet Virgil who first wrote that ‘fortune favours the bold’. Perhaps it does. But fortune is famously fickle. Sometimes it favours boldness and bravery; at other times gentleness and sensitivity. Sometimes sharp wit and intelligence win the day; on others stubbornness and pride seem to produce winning results. So, what does your personal ‘fortuna’ favour, this weekend? Flexibility and fluidity. Fortunately, you possess an abundance of both of these. Serendipitous moments await. What’s in the sky? Helpful planetary alignments! Call 1300 017 319
