MasterChef: Lee’s raw chicken fail
ARIES Remember those Harry Potter stories about powerful magic wands? Even at her most dramatic, JK Rowling didn’t suggest that such magical tools had minds of their own. The wizards were the ones with the power. The pieces of wood that they waved were just ways to focus their energy.

LEO The further you go, the more there’s further to go! But then, life without challenge would also be life without opportunity. To be a restless spirit, to feel forever inclined to explore new options and alternatives, is to be blessed with the potential for great success. But it can also, at times, be a reason why small issues seem like big problems - or developments that might comfort other people leave you feeling edgy. Look now towards new horizons to conquer and new achievements to aim for - not for fresh battles to fight! The power of this Full Moon can be yours. Call 1900 959 005.

SAGITTARIUS This is the last sentence. Don’t panic! It’s not the last sentence you’ll ever read, nor the last one I’ll ever write. I’ll explain more soon enough. Today though, I need to say that it has something to do with the way in which you’re glimpsing the end of something. You’re fairly sure that you know how a process will turn out, but not too sure that you’re going to like it. But, you’ve only seen a portion of the outcome, and imagined the rest. The lead up is just as important. And on that topic, today, this is the last sentence. The power of this Full Moon can be yours. Call 1900 959 005.

Here’s the traditional routine. The client asks their astrologer ‘when will my life improve?’ The astrologer consults planets, and issues predictions involving firm dates and words of helpful advice. That may be the expectation, but it’s not a procedure that I wish to follow with you now. It’s more honest if I say that your life will improve the moment you decide you’re going to allow it to improve. The Moon is becoming full. Don’t wait for something to change; change the part of yourself that resents the absence of a change! This Full Moon brings powerful positive change! Call 1900 959 005.
VIRGO AUG 24 - SEP 23
Some of my friends, who aren’t familiar with the benefits astrology, find my job confusing. They ask ‘Do you ever take the advice that you give?’ That’s the Virgoan spirit all over. An exceptional ability to phrase timely, clever questions and see beyond the superficial. No wonder you sometimes question decisions more than other people do. You think so much more deeply than most of us. As your ruler, Mercury, moves towards Uranus again, picking the right option is just a matter of identifying the highest priority. This Full Moon brings powerful positive change! Call 1900 959 005.
CAPRICORN DEC 22 - JAN 20
‘Smile and the world smiles with you, cry and you cry alone.’ So goes the old saying. But it helps to have something to smile about. When exasperation drives us to tears, how are we supposed to put on a happy face? We can’t! Well, we can try and may just get somewhere. After all, there’s another old saying, ‘Fake it till you make it.’ If you can find something in your life to feel pleased about - or at least amused by - it may help you see the lighter side. But if it doesn’t work, be patient. With the Full Moon, a change is coming. This Full Moon brings powerful positive change! Call 1900 959 005. recreate chicken
The trio had to mirror Mehigan while he made the dish in real time.
A flustered Silva burnt the skin of his chicken, added far too much cream to his pea custard and set off the smoke alarm when he burnt the butter for his fondant potatoes.
Morgan slipped early when he fell behind and tried to take Mehigan’s roast with peas and potatoes. shortcuts preparing the vegetables for his jus.
But it was Behan who suffered most.
The 29-year-hospitality manager cooked the chicken skin-side perfectly but then forgot to flip it over to properly sear the other side.
Mehigan, along with Matt Preston and George Calombaris thought Behan’s dish looked fantastic.
But then the judges cut into
GEMINI MAY 22 - JUN 22
Why do we do what we do? We always have reasons but these don’t, on close inspection, always make sense. We think we’re clever, yet we’re creatures of instinct and impulse. We act on our feelings, and then think up clever justifications. Don’t kid yourself that you have all the answers. You don’t even have all the questions. You’re acting on a series of assumptions… some of which need to be challenged. Don’t worry, you hardly need to start from scratch. But your plan requires an important rethink.

Some bicycles have two seats and two sets of pedals. None have two sets of handle bars that move. The person on the back provides extra energy. They can even help to balance the ride. But only one person can steer. If that responsibility is to be divided and shared, the cyclists must take it in turns to change position. There’s a conflict in your world that stems, at least in part, from the need to have a realistic conversation about the delegation of decision-making. For there to be any progress, there must first be trust. This Full Moon is powerful. Change your life. Call 1900 959 005.

Sometimes people say ridiculous things. We can’t quite believe what we’re hearing. Then we have to be careful. If we’re too quick to conclude that the other person is talking rubbish, we may miss out on valuable understanding. Yet if we remain too willing to believe the unbelievable, we can end up in a state of great confusion. Question what you’re told today, and keep questioning until you run out of questions! The truth is out there. One way or another, you’ll eventually end up with an answer you can trust. This Full Moon is powerful. Change your life.

“That little piece on the bottom of the breast is absolutely not cooked,” Mehigan said.
The judges said that just 30 seconds of searing that part of the chicken would have made a difference.
“You know in the MasterChef kitchen undercooked chicken always sends you home,” Preston said as he announced Behan’s elimination. Behan’s

We spoke yesterday about the idea that there are no rewards or prizes for ‘the endurance of discomfort’. We can’t help believe, though, that it’s a prerequisite for happiness or success.

PISCES FEB 20 - MAR 20
Why should we all start listening to you? What do you know that we don’t? How good is your judgement? How wise are your insights? I’m asking these questions, not to cast doubt on your merit and integrity, but to echo the way in which various people are resisting your influence. You may feel as if you’re being asked to prove yourself, or to defend a stance you’ve taken. By all means explain. Try to listen, too, to their comments and responses. But, with the power of the Full Moon approaching, don’t doubt yourself. Are you ready to look at your life in a new light? Call 1900 959 005.
