What’s the opposite of a bucket list? My wife was pondering this in her attempts to make peace with herself over the things she feels too old and long-inthe-tooth to bother trying to do. She wants to take the pressure off… and was relieved to realise she doesn’t need to pretend that she wants to ride in a helicopter one day. Sometimes, accepting limitation­s is liberating. As the sun harmonises with Saturn and links to Neptune, we can set boundaries that help us let go of unwarrante­d feelings or obligation­s.

ARIES MAR 21 - APR 20

Why are some things so much more important than others? Does it depend on the way we feel about them? Is it more to do with other people’s feelings? Or is it because of the way we think we should feel? And does that depend on what other people think they should be feeling? There are subtle but distinct difference­s between all of the above. Even if they don’t help us modify our choices or actions on the basis of that understand­ing alone, we need to be aware of these factors. A little wisdom today, will be extremely valuable.

LEO JUL 24 - AUG 23

What do any of us know with any certainty about the future? We can’t even say there’s always going to be one. What we do know, is that our time on this planet is finite, and that we won’t always be around to play a part in it. Experts tell us that there will come a day (far too far away for any of us to experience) when the sun will explode and the entire solar system will be destroyed. It’s a scary thought, but it reminds us to take advantage of each moment. As your ruler makes important connection­s today, there’s lots to appreciate.

SAGITTARIU­S NOV 23 - DEC 21

“There may be trouble ahead, but while there’s moonlight and music and love and romance, let’s face the music and dance.” There’s nothing like an old musical to transport us into a trouble-free fantasy world. Who doesn’t want a bit of music and love to lighten their step and give them something to sing about? You’re a fun-loving Sagittaria­n. You’re the first to seize a chance to celebrate, and encourage others to join in. As the Sun makes harmonious links today, you can spread joy and laughter. Get your dancing shoes on.

TAURUS APR 21 - MAY 21

If watched pots never boil, maybe that’s why we sometimes find ourselves getting hot under the collar. Nothing’s more frustratin­g than waiting for someone to act - especially when we’re able to get on and do it ourselves. But while we’re waiting for someone to hurry up and get a task done, isn’t it possible that they’re waiting for us to finish something else? When we feel frustrated over one thing, it’s easy to take our eye off the issue that needs our attention. You can cope today. Just stop worrying about what you can’t control.

VIRGO AUG 24 - SEP 23

Where’s your blind spot? What’s stopping you from seeing the full picture from an objective view? At the moment, part of your life feels like an irritating­ly difficult crossword clue. You know that you’ve got some of the letters, but you can’t find a word that will fit. It’s time to take a metaphoric­al cup of tea break. Put it down. Do something else. If you come back with fresh eyes, you’ll find the inspiratio­n you need. There are disadvanta­ges to having such a wide-reaching mind. You’ve been overthinki­ng this. The answer is simple.

CAPRICORN DEC 22 - JAN 20

What’s the fastest and simplest way to get something wrong? Well, sometimes, it’s simply trying too hard to get it right. The trouble with pushing too far and striving too hard, is that you can end up losing your ability to see the picture unfolding around you. As your ruler, Saturn, links harmonious­ly with the sun, fresh insight brings a new way of looking at your current challenge. It might feel as if you’re searching for the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, but you’re closer to finding a source of treasure than you think.

GEMINI MAY 22 - JUN 22

How many self-help books are on your bookshelf? I’d put money on the fact that most of us have a few, or have perused one or two. Bookshops are full of them, and there’s a huge amount of that kind of info online. Although each article might be based on a different concept, they all agree on one thing; we all need to be more confident about our ability to create positive change. You’ve made a mistake recently. But, as any successful person knows, when approached in the right way, mistakes lead to transforme­d ideas.

LIBRA SEP 24 - OCT 23

It goes without saying that whenever you lose something, you’ll find it in the last place you look. D’oh. You’re hardly going to keep searching once you’ve found it. Usually, of course, we’ve got a vague memory about where we last saw that lost thing, so we know where to search for it. You had an idea at the start of the year, but have been too busy to pay it any attention. It has become lost in the minutiae of life. As the sun links to Saturn, the great cosmic teacher, your memory comes back. Now, you’ve got time to act on it.

AQUARIUS JAN 21 - FEB 19

They say fortune favours the brave. So, today, we need to consider the difference between courage and fearlessne­ss. When we have no fear, we’re unaware of potential danger. And, when we know there are reasons to be nervous, but go ahead, and bravely face our concerns, we push beyond our limits. That’s when favours are bestowed. You’ve been dealing with a challenge. And you’ve made yourself vulnerable. But you’re doing the right thing. Just a bit more courage… then a heap of good fortune will be yours.

CANCER JUN 23 - JUL 23

Much as we like to bemoan the kind of health-and-safety-gonemad environmen­t of recent years, we’re wrong to assume this is a new phenomenon. Harold Lloyd, the great silent movie star, used to do entire skits based on the fact that society, at the time, was ridiculous­ly risk averse. Please don’t read this thinking I’m going to suggest that you throw caution to the wind and do something careless. But, be aware that a potentiall­y exciting developmen­t is being viewed with extreme caution. There’s much less to fear than you think.

SCORPIO OCT 24 - NOV 22

In days gone by, the maxim what the eye can’t see, the heart can’t grieve over was used to justify all manner of hideous actions. It’s the sort of attitude adopted by people with no regard for the feelings of others, or any sense of right and wrong. When we consider the prevalence of such views, it’s easy to find renewed appreciati­on for the popularity of concepts like religion that place an omniscient, all-seeing being as invisible arbiter. Whether you buy into that idea or not today, being honest is more important than ever.

PISCES FEB 20 - MAR 20

If you pinch your arm, will you wake up? Or will you just be dreaming about pinching your arm? The strange realisatio­n that we’re dreaming about dreaming is very discombobu­lating. Similarly, something bewilderin­g is unfolding in your world. You’re not sure what to make of it. Fortunatel­y, as the Sun links harmonious­ly with your ruler, Neptune, you can start to make sense of a seemingly ridiculous series of events. If you find yourself experienci­ng an unexpected sense of optimism, you’re perfectly entitled to indulge that hope.
