Were you born by the river, in a little tent? Unlikely! Most folk reading this will have entered the world, if not in a maternity hospital, then at least in a room with a permanent ceiling. But Sam Cooke’s opening line wasn’t the focus of his song. He was expressing his belief that, ‘a change is gonna come’. It was his ode to the civil rights movement. The change coming your way may not be as great. And it’ll take skill and intelligen­ce, as well as belief. But that’s not a bad place to start.

A gambler will tell you that there’s no such thing as a ‘gamble’, only a carefully calculated risk. But I’d like to remind you to be under no such illusions. There’s a vast gulf between gambling and risk, and, before you take a leap, it’s worth stepping back to consider which of these you’re doing. Is the potential gain really worth what you could be throwing away? If it is (and you’re sure) then go for it! As long as you’ve carefully weighed your options, there’s a road to success ahead.

They say caring is a virtue. But is it really? Surely, in today’s world, being kind only opens you up to manipulati­on? Why go out of your way to be good only to have it thrown back at you? Perhaps there’s some truth in that. But what other option is available? Sure, you can pull up the drawbridge and shut everything out. But is that safety, or self-imposed solitude? Now, as Venus moves into your opposite sign, it’s time to have faith in the nature of others. They’re not the threat you fear!

That’s it. You’ve reached your quota. You’re not allowed any more kindness. You’ll have to put some of that warm fuzzy feeling down. And you’ve definitely had your share of financial success too. You haven’t? Ah, now I see what’s happened. For a second, I thought Venus, your ruler, had disappeare­d out of the cosmos altogether. Now I can see that it’s just moved into the next sign. So you’re still entitled to the benefits from a ruler that represents love, money and pleasure.

Some things are just a bad fit. I’m not just talking about relationsh­ips, but we can all think of a couple who spend their time arguing. There’s nothing wrong with compromise, but it’s important to know when to draw the line. Situations and people can only change so much. And, no matter how hard we try, sometimes negotiatin­g is impossible. It’s never easy to let things go. But now is the time to call something quits. When you do, a world of new possibilit­ies will open up.

Imagine you’re lost in the Sahara. Wherever you look there’s only sand. Your throat is parched. And then you see it - rising out of the haze, a lake of cool water surrounded by lush green undergrowt­h. ‘Pull the other one,’ you think. ‘I know a mirage when I imagine one.’ And you crawl on by, ignoring the cries of the people gathered round what is a tangible, drinkable, lifesaving oasis. The moral of the story? Grasp the opportunit­y before you right now - however illusory it may seem.

Venus is entering your sign. A cause for celebratio­n, right? Well, just as it does, your ruler makes a tense alignment with Uranus. This is why seemingly unresolvab­le conflicts may have been pressing on your mind recently. It feels as if, before things can get better, something needs to change. It does. But perhaps you’ve been looking in the wrong place. To feel happier and more valued, it’s not just the world that needs to show you more love, you’ve got to gift it to yourself too.

Thanks to the internet - and social media in particular - things go in and out of fashion quickly. Some people adapt easily to whatever’s new. The problem, is that this adaptabili­ty isn’t confined to technology or fashion. Technology has ushered in an age of treating ideologies and beliefs as ‘fads’ that come and go. They’re cool or uncool at the whim of an editor. Don’t be tempted to abandon a long-held cause or belief because you feel under pressure to do so today. Stay true to your beliefs.

Life is a serious business. We’re not here to have fun, you know. Sit up straight, keep your nose to the grindstone and put your back into the task at hand. If the universe meant us to go about enjoying ourselves, the planet would be made of inflatable plastic, with clouds of candyfloss. Time is precious, we can’t go around wasting it on relaxing and having a good time. There are chores to be done... Oh, forget all that. Today, it’s about time you went out and had some fun. Enjoy!

Most of the time, life evolves gradually. Whilst certain events have the power to turn our worlds upside down, it’s more common for situations, relationsh­ips, and outlooks to change gradually. So we often don’t spot problems until too late. As Mercury makes a dynamic square with Uranus, it’s shedding light on a baffling situation. Problems you’ve been oblivious to now demand urgent attention. This seems difficult. But you’ve got the equipment to resolve any problems effectivel­y.

Yesterday, we talked about the need for caution. That doesn’t mean you need to add trepidatio­n though. I like spicy food. Yet if someone asked me to see if a dish was spicy enough, I wouldn’t gulp the largest mouthful I could manage. I’d bite off just enough to make a judgement as to whether more chilli was required. There’s a situation now that, if not heating up, is at least tingling your taste buds. No matter how complex the flavours, it’s worth tasting - with plenty of water at the ready!

Your rulers are locked in a relationsh­ip that could have ‘significan­t’ results. You might just find events over the coming days, ‘memorable’. You see what I’m doing? Filling your forecast with non-committal words that don’t describe anything at all. That’s not good enough for either of us now. Life is asking you to make a splash, paint vivid pictures, and embark on wild adventures. You can’t afford to dip your toes and test the waters. It’s time to dive right in, with hope in your heart.
