YOUR STARS

This weekend, Neptune turns retrograde. Although this happens every year, it’s important not to underestim­ate its impact. Traditiona­l Neptunian qualities will begin to work differentl­y. For some, that might mean that some sacrifices are a little harder to

ARIES MAR 21 APR 20 Our imaginatio­n helps create our future. Imaginatio­n enabled people like Nelson Mandela and Martin Luther King Jr. conceive the possibilit­ies of a world where equality, and justice could be valued. But imaginatio­n is also where someone conceived the idea of the nuclear bomb. I know these are extreme examples! The point is that what we imagine has a formative effect. When we believe in it, positive or negative thoughts have a way of coming into being. So, this weekend, dare to imagine the positive, and make it true. How will the Solstice transform your life? Call 1900 959 005. LEO JUL 24 - AUG 23 Why grit your teeth and go it alone, when you could ask for help? Sure, you could do everything all by yourself. You could suffer through hard times and complicati­ons alone. But the mud you’re trudging through might be like water to someone else. I know, asking for help means navigating someone else’s ideals. But wouldn’t you benefit from another perspectiv­e? If you reach out, you’ll make life easier, and enter into a partnershi­p. You may even learn something new. So swallow that pride and ask! Capture the powerful energy of the Solstice. Call your indepth forecast now: 1900 959 005. SAGITTARIU­S NOV 23 - DEC 21 Yesterday, as the Sun opposed Saturn, I asked you not to worry a problem into being. And, as Mercury moves into the same position opposite Sagittariu­s this weekend, I want to reemphasis­e this. Sagittaria­ns are known to ride their luck a little too hard, and aren’t always prepared when it runs out. But part of what brings you good fortune is your belief that you can dance your way out of any corner. It’s only when you doubt yourself that a tentative step leads to lost footing. Be confident this weekend. The Solstice can transform your world. Make the most its energy. Call 1900 959 005. TAURUS APR 21 - MAY 21 Nothing magnifies distress like downplayin­g the situation. If we blow problems out of proportion, we still expect people close to us to respect how deeply we’re affected. Someone may be well be acting as if they’ve been in the wars. But you’re right to suspect that if you don’t take their situation seriously you’ll only aggravate their mood. They know they’re crying over spilt milk, but that doesn’t change how they feel. An indirect approach will better serve you both. As Neptune turns retrograde, don’t state (or do) the obvious. Let the light and power of the Solstice inspire you. Call 1900 959 005. VIRGO AUG 24 - SEP 23 We all dream of meeting the person who will make us feel complete. We want someone who knows what we need before we even know it; who sees us for who we are, not who we pretend to be; who champions us when we’re down, and challenges us when we’re wrong.We’ve all grown up with this fairytale vision of relationsh­ips. But it’s important to be realistic now. Our fantasies can prevent us from appreciati­ng our reality. Let go of an elusive ideal; you might find everything you never knew you wanted. The power of the Solstice can be harnessed right now. Call 1900 959 005. CAPRICORN DEC 22 - JAN 20 We can all experience tunnel vision. It can be a good thing - being fixated on our goals can give the tenacity we need that makes them achievable. But sometimes, if there’s an obstructio­n in the road, we grind to a halt. You need to stand back from a situation, and realise that there are other paths you could be taking. And all of them lead to your destinatio­n - they just take a more scenic route. All that’s needed today is a little perspectiv­e. As Neptune turns retrograde, you’ll see a way to make progress. The Solstice brings powerful positive change! For great news, call 1900 959 005. GEMINI MAY 22 - JUN 22 Everyone sees the world a little differentl­y. Some people have the gift of perspectiv­e that allows them to see the world in an optimistic way. Others are myopic and can’t see the forest for the trees, nor the ocean for the drops of water. There’s no point arguing with these people; logic and reason are wasted on them. Whatever you’re trying to say, know that it’s not you who’s struggling to make sense, but the other person who’s struggling to understand. As frustratin­g as this is, keep your cool. Be patient. The Solstice can transform your world. Make the most its energy. Call 1900 959 005. LIBRA SEP 24 - OCT 23 Maybe things have taken a tricky turn. You’ve lost your footing, and perhaps you feel you’ve lost some ground that you’ve worked hard for. Your plans have also changed. The road you were planning to travel isn’t quite the same. But it doesn’t mean you’re stuck. You just need a new strategy. Open yourself to possibilit­ies that you wouldn’t usually consider. The route may be more challengin­g, but it could also be more satisfying. Look again, and you’ll find the path that will take you where you want to go. How will the Solstice transform your life? Call 1900 959 005. AQUARIUS JAN 21 - FEB 19 ‘Problem management’ is a buzzword nowadays. It’s about evaluating the scale of a problem and acting accordingl­y. But surely it’s not that simple? When we’ve built something up in our minds, it often seems insurmount­able when, in reality, it’s a tiny issue that we’ve barely even noticed, that’s going to be tricky. There’s no definitive way of knowing the best way to move ahead this weekend. All you can do is weigh up the evidence and try not to overthink it. You’re more than capable of solving this. Capture the powerful energy of the Solstice. Call your indepth forecast now: 1900 959 005. CANCER JUN 23 - JUL 23 Some schools now teach lessons in empathy. This doesn’t play well with the old-fashioned brigade, who think that anything other than the ‘three Rs’ is a waste of the timetable. They’re wrong though! Empathy is a hugely important skill. And it’s one that could serve you well this weekend. You’re anxious to put someone right about something - but before you do, try to consider how they would like to hear your message? This is an occasion where what you say is less important than the way that you say it. The Solstice brings powerful positive change! For great news, call 1900 959 005. SCORPIO OCT 24 - NOV 22 If you look through a telescope, you can see the edge of our galaxy, the Milky Way. If you could see through NASA’s Hubble telescope, you’d have a taste of Andromeda, our closest galactic neighbour. But looking through a glass cylinder gives only a narrow picture of the universe. As Neptune turns retrograde, remember the scope of vision available to you. If you take a step back from your current situation, you’ll find that you can find a much broader outlook on your problems this weekend. Let the light and power of the Solstice inspire you. Call 1900 959 005. PISCES FEB 20 - MAR 20 I once thought my three-year-old was a bit of a con artist. He’d talk about things that happened yesterday when I knew they hadn’t happened. But then I realised that, for him, ‘yesterday’ meant any time in the past. As your ruler turns retrograde, your past takes on more significan­ce. But that doesn’t mean it has to catch you up, or limit your options. No matter how real it feels, what’s done is done, and only lives in your memory. You can choose to let it worry you into indecision, or inspire you to great heights! The power of the Solstice can be harnessed right now. Call 1900 959 005.
