YOUR STARS

Today, the Sun opposes Saturn, with Mercury hot on its heels, doing the same this weekend. It speaks of a grounding influence. A moment to become more discipline­d and effective in how we think and operate. That doesn’t sound like much fun, though, does it

ARIES MAR 21 - APR 20

Just as a marathon runner needs to ensure their body’s at its peak, our minds need stimulatio­n to keep them working effectivel­y. It’s easy to get complacent. Then, before we know it, we’re stuck in a rut that we can’t figure how to get out of. Ideas need to be challenged just as much as our bodies. So how can we keep them fit? What’s the brain equivalent of dumb bells! Our greatest strength is being able to acknowledg­e our weaknesses. Find the courage to do that and your mind will be free to move like the wind. Worried?

LEO JUL 24 - AUG 23

We sometimes take an instant dislike to someone. But we can have the opposite experience too - and like someone from the moment we meet. It’s always a delight when we discover an instant affinity, and feel the potential for a new friendship. But such immediate positive emotions can affect our judgement. Your rapport with someone new means that you’re inclined to lend them your support. While it might work out fine, it’s worth proceeding with a caution. Your generous heart is a little vulnerable today. Worried? Call to hear your unmissable in-depth, forecast: 1900 959 005.

SAGITTARIU­S NOV 23 - DEC 21

Even you can pre-emptively jump on to the defensive. Sometimes, when you’ve understood that you’ve spoken thoughtles­sly, you realise the implicatio­ns of your words. What if you’ve offended someone? What if they thought you meant X rather than Y? Imagined conversati­ons follow, excuses are made, apologies prepared - and before you know it, there’s an issue! For all you know, the other person’s been fretting about the same things. Be careful not to worry a problem into existence today. Worried?

TAURUS APR 21 - MAY 21

You’ve known for a while that someone has been trying to build up the courage to tell you something. They’re clearly nervous, and their nerves have unsettled you too. But the chances are that, though it’s a big deal for them, it’s nothing that’s seriously going to trouble you. So, as the Sun links to Saturn, why not give them the nudge they need to begin? Once they’ve worked up the courage to talk, the rest will follow easily. If you can listen with sensitivit­y and kindness, you’ll find that you’ll both benefit. Anxious?

VIRGO AUG 24 - SEP 23

Our brains have an active ‘action replay’ setting. When something hasn’t gone to plan, we run it back through our minds, imagining what we could have done to produce a better outcome. But what’s done is done. And guilt is a pointless emotion, which is well worth avoiding. Work out, instead, what positives you can take to make future encounters more rewarding. With the current cosmic climate, if you can implement them into your plans, you’ll have the means to make good on a long-held promise. Anxious?

CAPRICORN DEC 22 - JAN 20

In what seems like an age ago, I did a degree in commercial music. It was an important phase of my life, but I’ve often said that the greatest thing it taught me was who I definitely didn’t want to be. I realised that the institutio­ns and production lines of ‘pop’ music weren’t really conducive to an independen­t spirit. And I’m grateful that I was able to recognise that early. Currently, you may be going through a similar process. Life’s helping you to see how you don’t want your life to turn out. So don’t let it! Anxious?

GEMINI MAY 22 - JUN 22

Respect your elders. Say ‘please’ and ‘thank you’. We start learning accepted ways to behave as soon as we arrive on the planet. These social laws are designed to avoid conflict and encourage cohesion. They’re a part of life. Yet there are times when conflict is necessary. We’re just not so confident when it comes to speaking our minds and breaking the code we so naturally follow. Saturn’s movements suggest that there’s an issue to be dealt with directly. Adopt a respectful, but assertive approach. Confused? Call to hear your unmissable in-depth, forecast: 1900 959 005.

LIBRA SEP 24 - OCT 23

Explaining how we feel is never easy. Especially when we’re put on the spot. Clarifying emotions is challengin­g enough, without having to put them into words, when you’re feeling obliged to enlighten someone else. But, if you can manage to articulate what you’re experienci­ng, as clearly as possible, it helps others to understand what you’re trying to say and do. And vice versa. By offering support when someone talks to you today, there’s opportunit­y for mutually beneficial dialogue and understand­ing. Confused?

AQUARIUS JAN 21 - FEB 19

Yesterday, I mentioned that your ingenuity would serve you well in a difficult situation. You have the opportunit­y to make a real difference to a cause you’ve placed great stock in. But, you’re not going to capitalise on your potential if you apply only a thin veneer of paint over cracks which require major building work. Whatever you do, keep the long-term picture in mind. You might have to make some unpopular decisions today. But, if you show that your heart’s in the right place, you’ll find the support you need. Confused?

CANCER JUN 23 - JUL 23

It’s amazing how much energy some people are prepared to expend whilst never seeming to go anywhere. Take treadmills, for example. Why would you want to simulate moving forward rather than actually going somewhere? The illusion of progress is surprising­ly prevalent through all aspects of life. Whether it’s putting something off by doing something irrelevant, or losing perspectiv­e so that you can’t see the futility of the task absorbing your energy. We all do it! Today, make sure your energy serves a purpose. Uncertain? Call to hear your unmissable in-depth, forecast: 1900 959 005.

OCT 24 - NOV 22

We all recognise that feeling of being treated like a doormat. If we’re too generous, kind and friendly, we worry that someone will take advantage of us. No one wants to feel like a mug. But what’s the alternativ­e? Be selfish and sharp and don’t do anything to help others? What would that make us? We get a lot back from being open and friendly. You know how to stand up for yourself and be generous spirited. Just make sure the actions you take are for the right reasons and you won’t go far wrong today. Uncertain?

PISCES FEB 20 - MAR 20

You might not realise the value of your contributi­on, but to others you’re the driving force behind a project. Don’t underestim­ate what you’re bringing to the table. Even when you feel that you’re not contributi­ng very much, you must be aware that your work is crucial. Without you, how many projects wouldn’t have made it? Today, ask yourself what you want to achieve, and then consider what you can realistica­lly do. Commit to that, and with Venus to back you up, be confident that your ability will be enough.
