YOUR STARS

ARIES MAR 21 - APR 20

Life demands a certain amount of arrogance. After all, when we get out of our beds, with a degree of hopefulness that the day might bring pleasant things our way, aren’t we assuming that the cosmos has our interests at heart? And when we refuse to be overwhelmed by all the things we “have to do”, the bills we have to pay and the problems we need to deal with, doesn’t that show a certain air of confidence and swagger? The link between Mars and Jupiter gives you the right to be assertive. There’s great news in your August prediction.

LEO JUL 24 - AUG 23

Many years ago, someone pointed out to me that, if a time machine were ever to be invented, it would have to exist right at this very moment. Any second, someone could choose the summer of 2020 and, suddenly, there it would be. Just think, calendars, diaries, the linearity of time – overnight, all of these would become irrelevant. Except, of course, for the stars, which we could still use to make measurements. Luckily, your stars are pointing in only one direction, today: that’s forwards. You can change your life this August.

SAGITTARIUS NOV 23 - DEC 21

According to researchers, the measurements given for Noah’s Ark are about right. Other biblical facts and figures are less reliable though. Which leads us to the story of creation. Even with the best will in the world, it’s hard to imagine how anyone, or anything, could construct an entire universe in a mere six days. Yet, as Mars empowers your ruling planet Jupiter, extraordinary things are on your horizon. As you’re about to discover, the impossible is more possible than you think. It’s August.

TAURUS APR 21 - MAY 21

When an outcome hasn’t gone our way, we sometimes reassure ourselves with the thought that “there was really no way of knowing”. But that’s never quite true. Few consequences are entirely unforeseeable. They’re usually logical (if, occasionally left-field) conclusions to a series of emotions and events. If we’d thought about it carefully enough, we might have been able to redirect an outcome or two. You face a choice between the easy and the unfamiliar. There’s no real reason to choose the former. August begins with a powerful full moon. Be inspired. Call 1300 017 319.

VIRGO AUG 24 - SEP 23

As kids, we’re taught to believe that anyone in a uniform has almost heroic qualities; these figures of authority represent the embodiment of what’s meant to be “professional”, and their ideas are to be shown great respect. It’s only as we grow older that we realise that no one, even those people who we’ve put on pedestals, is perfect. This sometimes creates a quandary. To what extent should we continue to trust our icons? Today, your wisest action is to trust any feelings of doubt. August’s due to be amazing. For transformative news, call 1300 017 319.

CAPRICORN DEC 22 - JAN 20

As a Capricorn, you might well be a little bored of being told how pragmatic, practical and sensible you are. When it comes to rules, you’re the one people turn to. Instigation? Enforcement? You’re the person for the job. Friends, colleagues and astrologers alike are convinced that this is your calling. And, it’s true that you’ve got bucketloads of common sense. Luckily, that’s exactly why you realise that an old practice is no longer serving its purpose. Put your practicality to better use today. Transform your life in August. For good news, call 1300 017 319.

GEMINI MAY 22 - JUN 22

A small amount of worry is like a small amount of salt; the right dose adds flavour to life. Too much of it, though, and what we’re dealing with becomes unpalatable. Worry can overwhelm healthy emotions and eventually, just like salt, cause lasting damage. Although you have more than a little bit of worry on your plate, it doesn’t need to turn into an overpowering force. Yes, there are reasons to be concerned; but you’re more than able to cope with what’s unfolding … and come out stronger. It’s August.

LIBRA SEP 24 - OCT 23

A good villain has so much grit and diabolical cunning that they pop off the screen. They’re so real that we might almost bump into them. The same can’t be said of heroes. The more hero-like they get, it seems the more two-dimensional they become. While cinema often reduces complex moral problems to black and white, it isn’t always the case in real life. Great people have shameful pasts, and “bad” characters have altruistic moments. When the time comes to pick a side today, choose wisely. There’s great news in your August prediction.

Call 1300 017 319.

AQUARIUS JAN 21 - FEB 19

The universe is a mad place. Yet, how mad must we be that, even after recognising and accepting this, we still look for sense within its confines? We crave familiarity and order – something tangible to cling to in the sea of chaos. So, what are the attributes that can be relied upon to anchor us above all else? Love. Friendship. Compassion. Generosity. Kindness. If we have these, we can tackle anything. Luckily, your world is blessed with abundance. Whatever you do, don’t take it for granted. You can change your life this August. For good news, call 1300 017 319.

CANCER JUN 23 - JUL 23

Everyone does regrettable things that they’re unable to forget. Whether it’s something innocent (such as eating rubbish food), or putting ourselves into unhealthy situations and relationships, once we’ve experienced the negative side, we try not to put ourselves into a position where we repeat the experience. And sometimes, we try so hard to avoid one particular scenario that we overlook something that’s in our best interests. As you’re about to find out, the past doesn’t always follow you. Transform your life in August. For good news, call 1300 017 319.

SCORPIO OCT 24 - NOV 22

It’s not only birds that feather their nests. We all want to make our lives as comfortable as possible. And, it’s undeniable that some of the “feathers” we take would have gone to someone else if they had got their first. Does that mean that we should feel bad about having something that someone else might have appreciated? While a degree of self-sacrifice is a good thing, a degree of self-indulgence can be healthy. Fortunately, today, whatever suits you best will suit the people around you. August begins with a powerful full moon. Be inspired. Call 1300 017 319.

PISCES FEB 20 - MAR 20

A key person in your world is dealing with an ongoing drama. Although you’re keen to help them in their stress, could you be inadvertently adding to their pressure? Today, while it’s compassionate and helpful to do what you can to extend support, don’t be tempted to take on more than you can deal with. You simply can’t take the entirety of their burden on your shoulders. As you learn where to draw a boundary, they’ll learn something vital that will help them to move in a healthy direction. August’s due to be amazing. For transformative news, call 1300 017 319.
