YOUR STARS
Following the 2011 tsunami, the Earth apparently shifted on its axis. I wonder what effect this is having on astrological events? Lucy Hi Lucy, According to NASA, the earthquake may have slightly shortened Earth’s days and altered her rotational axis. But the 1.8 microsecond difference shouldn’t affect my astrological writings. Nor should the rotational shift, which amounted to a few inches. A single zodiac degree covers 69 miles. There’s always more to learn about the changing, yet ancient art of astrology. But don’t burn your astrological textbooks just yet! Oscar

ARIES MAR 21 - APR 20
Acknowledging our hopes and dreams is scary stuff. Articulating them makes them tangible. They become more than a secret hope held in our hearts - they become possibilities, things that can be striven for. Articulating them increases the chance of disappointment too. There’s always the danger that we don’t know ourselves as well as we think and, that when our wishes become a reality, the fairytale ending will remain a fantasy. If you take a chance today, and share your vision, your reality will be rather good. Uncertain? Call to hear your unmissable in-depth, forecast: 1900 959 005.
LEO JUL 24 - AUG 23
Yesterday I talked about needing to be careful in a complex situation. With Neptune’s elusive and intangible qualities messing with Mercury, it could be hard to act with certainty and confidence at the moment. Yet tomorrow, your ruler the Sun moves into opposition with Saturn. That could be construed as a limiting omen. But, amid a backdrop of uncertainty, it’s just the jolt you need to focus your attention. You may not be able to be cavalier as your charge ahead now. But you can be confident in a more considered approach. Uncertain? Call to hear your unmissable in-depth, forecast: 1900 959 005.
SAGITTARIUS NOV 23 - DEC 21
Luck and fortune are constructs we use to describe the inexplicable. As an idea, though, ‘luck’ ignores all the hard work you contributed. Your intelligence, your insight, your perception, your passion: these are the qualities that contribute to what you think of as your ‘good luck’. Now, you’re facing a demanding challenge. You’re hoping that, with good fortune, the issue will be resolved. But you don’t need luck! All you need are the qualities that have got you this far. Work on a proactive approach by making your own.

TAURUS APR 21 - MAY 21
It’s easy to jump on our high horse when we disapprove of something or someone. But then we’re too strong, and end up causing more damage than necessary. Of course, we’re all fallible – no one in the world has ever lived a mistake-free life… it’s just part of being human - though we find it hard to admit. So today, if you feel the need to go in search of a horse to saddle, stand back from the situation and take a breath. There might be a better way to handle this situation. Your calming influence can cool things down. Worried? Call to hear your unmissable in-depth, forecast: 1900 959 005.
VIRGO AUG 24 - SEP 23
Sometimes, the most amazing things happen spontaneously, when you least expect them. We’ve all had those moments when we get ‘lost’, or take a wrong turn and discover something spectacular. But these tend to be the exception, not the rule. Most things worth doing, seeing, or achieving, take planning and commitment. What you’re facing now will not sort itself out by chance. It requires effort, and patience. That’s the hidden work that lies behind most miracles. But the planets suggest that your hard work will pay off. Worried?

CAPRICORN DEC 22 - JAN 20
You work hard. You’re capable. Your commitment is unwavering. But you feel unappreciated. Do others see the efforts you’re making? Do they acknowledge your experience and resourcefulness? Do they reward your sense of responsibility? You’re painfully aware of the difficulties in a situation, and you know what’s caused it. But how can you change people’s perception of your actions? You won’t reach a resolution by wrapping it up in negative feelings. Approach the problem with a bold, brilliant attitude. Worried? Call to hear your unmissable in-depth, forecast: 1900 959 005.
GEMINI MAY 22 - JUN 22
For centuries, music has given expression to the hopes and dreams of thousands of composers and the millions more who listen to their music. Sometimes, it’s inspired by little things. Sometimes it’s about important issues - like freedom, revolution and change. And it’s powerful because even the most stoical among us dreams of a future where love triumphs over hate, inclusion beats exclusion, and equality and respect are celebrated. But can this ever be your reality? Well, let’s just say this week’s looking good. Anxious? Call to hear your unmissable in-depth, forecast: 1900 959 005.
LIBRA SEP 24 - OCT 23
When everyone else seems to have lost the plot, it’s hard not to get swept up in the collective panic. Yet you can appear as cool as a cat, while everyone around you acts as if they’re barking mad. From the outside, your calm demeanour can appear insensitive or insensible! But that isn’t the case. You can step back because you’re secure in your vision, and insightful enough to observe the details that everyone else fails to notice. Keep faith in that strong and steadfast vision of yours. It will see you through. Anxious? Call to hear your unmissable in-depth, forecast: 1900 959 005.
AQUARIUS JAN 21 - FEB 19
You pride yourself on your resourcefulness. In a tricky situation you can be counted on to find a workaround that not only resolves the problem, but usually works out in your favour. It’s got to be said. You have talent. But it rarely comes without a price. More than once, you’ve been forced to resort to tactics you’re not entirely sure you approve of. So, when called to apply your ingenuity today, your brilliance will come in handy. It’ll take all your skills to resolve this issue but, if you’re scrupulous, it’ll be no match for you! Anxious?

CANCER JUN 23 - JUL 23
When I was a kid, my grandparents used to set me treasure hunts. They’d hide chocolate coins in the garden and, if I struggled to find them, they’d guide me closer with shouts of ‘warmer’ as I got closer, or ‘colder’ if I drew further away. For some, Mercury’s links with Neptune may be causing confusion. But they don’t have your astrological guardian watching them. Your ruler, the Moon, makes a brief Grand Trine with Jupiter and Mercury. It gives you a wonderful window of opportunity. Listen to your heart, if you want to grow warmer. Confused?

SCORPIO OCT 24 - NOV 22
We like to think of ourselves as experts - good at manipulating life into working to our advantage. We pride ourselves on our alliances, and the friendships that benefit us. But sometimes, the very people that once enriched our lives can seem to be actively working against us. You’re feeling uncertain about a situation you’ve been feeling confident about. There’s no need to panic! The re-evaluations you’re making needn’t be drastic, but they’re necessary. Renegotiating boundaries will make you feel confident again. Confused?

PISCES FEB 20 - MAR 20
We’re all very good at so-called ‘self analysis’. It feels good to sometimes indulge in long-winded justifications for why we behave in a certain way. It helps us see what’s driving our feelings… and we can come up with insights into our emotional reactions. But often we’re motivated by something simpler than we think. Our actions are actually based on our gut feelings. Now is a time to make your choices using your impulsive and instinctive reactions. They’re perfectly reasonable. Even if they’re not easy to explain. Confused? Call to hear your unmissable in-depth, forecast: 1900 959 005.
