aries MAR 21 - APR 20

You need courage if you want to get anywhere in life. At least, that’s what they say. And, to an extent, they’re right. But it’s not the whole story. Some challenges require kindness and sensitivit­y - and, try though we might, these qualities aren’t always compatible with decisive actions. It’s best to try a gentle approach first today. If that policy isn’t as effective as you’d like, then feel free to be clear and bold. When your heart’s engaged, it’s okay to be assertive… especially when you have the potential to make a difference.

leo JUL 24 - AUG 23

Are you looking for a different kind of prediction today? Something more mystical and mysterious? Or some more traditiona­l advice; the height of the stranger you should look out for, or the colour of the door you need to walk through? Maybe I should dust off my crystal ball, drape the walls in luxurious fabric, get the incense out and expect you to cross my palm with silver. You know this isn’t going to happen. Bribery won’t work, and you can’t be hoodwinked. It’s by being pragmatic that you’ll get what you need today.

Often, when there are big trials in the news, I get emails asking whether I can foresee the outcome by looking at the horoscopes of the people involved. Even back in ancient times, there’s no evidence to suggest astrology was ever used as evidence. This art of divination can’t be used to say whether someone’s good or bad, guilty or innocent. It can indicate their strengths, and suggest where their weaknesses lie. And we’re all capable of doing that. Try to be less black and white about what’s right, and what’s not today.

taurus APR 21 - MAY 21

There are some things in your world that you could do with having less of. The problem is that it can be harder to reduce a commitment or curb a habit than to give it up. It’s complicate­d because, when we stop ourselves from doing something that we shouldn’t be doing, we don’t always feel great. We feel out of sorts… as if we’re no longer in our comfort zone. Which makes it easy to slip back into old habits. With your ruler, Venus, in a new home, if you really want to move forwards, you can overcome any hurdles.

It’s frustratin­g when everyday objects disappear. Remote controls seem particular­ly prone to evaporatin­g into thin air, only to reappear behind a cushion which has already been looked behind. It sounds like a trivial thing. But, in my house, when you’re desperate to change the channel, it’s not. In the moment, even simple problems can become a source of stress. We tend to over-exaggerate. Yes, you’re doing something difficult. But it’s nowhere near as hard as you think. You’re about to find the solution… it’s in an obvious place.

capricorn DEC 22 - JAN 20

What is it about human beings that make us seek out difference­s? Even people who share lots of things in common, often look for issues over which they disagree. It makes life more interestin­g. It would be a dull world if we all felt the same way about everything. You don’t need a key person in your life to accept everything you believe or consider important. You just need to know where you stand, and how much support (or lack of it) you can expect from them. Clearly explaining your position will clarify their views today.

Gemini MAY 22 - JUN 22

They say that elephants never forget - but what few people realise is that they barely ever sleep either. Apparently, they can go for days at a time without nabbing a nap. Maybe, then, the two issues go hand in hand and these great mammals are so caught up in reliving past memories that they’ve decided to avoid potential nightmares by refusing to close their eyes. Are you losing sleep over an issue from your past that bears little relevance on your life? You’re big enough (and smart enough) to see it as small and irrelevant.

libra SEP 24 - OCT 23

None of us have our own way all the time. But neither are we obliged to do only things we don’t want to do. As with so much in life, we need to strike a balance. Although the middle ground might not look particular­ly alluring today, as you continue your journey of learning and discovery, you need to cede some power to those who know more than you. Before you know it, you’ll reach a happy compromise. Your ruler’s arrival in a new celestial home ensures that it will work out to significan­tly help you progress.

aquarius JAN 21 - FEB 19

What’s the point of wisdom? How does it help us deal with our daily lives? Are we meant to spend our time hoovering up informatio­n so that we can store it away? Surely we eventually reach a point where we run out of space and have to put it in the bin? While the desire to learn should always be encouraged, there’s little point accumulati­ng knowledge if it’s never put to use. We need to act on it. You can help someone clear up a messy situation today. Somewhere in your memory bank, you’ve got the missing info they need.

cancer JUN 23 - JUL 23

What did you have for dinner this time last week? Maybe you’re one of those people who like to stick to a weekly menu, and eat the same thing every Tuesday evening. In which case, you know exactly what you ate. I mention this to illustrate the fact that we do all sorts of things that we forget because they don’t make much impact on our lives. Thank goodness. We carry so much informatio­n, it’s a blessing we don’t have to remember everything. You can choose to let go of a worry that’s nowhere near as important as you think.

scorpio OCT 24 - NOV 22

The karmic laws of cause and effect are more complicate­d than we’d like. If only we knew, in the middle of things, why we were in the middle of things… the understand­ing would make it so much easier to cope! It’s only with hindsight that we can see why events unfold in specific ways. Aargh. And if we understood more, and assumed less, we’d make other choices. Don’t waste valuable time looking backwards today. Instead, look ahead and think about whether you’ve got enough info and experience to make a significan­t decision. You have.

pisces FEB 20 - MAR 20

The art of doing nothing isn’t just practised by people who can’t find the energy to get on busily with their lives. Wise folk are similarly drawn to not doing much. In our fast-moving, actionpack­ed world, the act of just being is disappeari­ng. Yet, if we allow ourselves to let go, doing nothing can be surprising­ly effective. You’re entangled in a complicate­d scenario and are considerin­g a number of potential ways of sorting it out. Today, your best option involves conserving your energy, and allowing some time to pass.

 ?? ?? As Mercury moves on from its opposition with Pluto and enters Leo, it’s as if it’s being released from studying in class to running around in the playground. Playing is more than an idle pursuit. Kids learn just as much from recreation as they do in the classroom. And grown-ups often make their greatest discoverie­s when free to have some fun. As Jupiter prepares to link sharply with the cosmic teacher, Saturn, the freedom to explore less-restrictiv­e environmen­ts becomes a priority.
