YOUR STARS

It’s my Mum’s birthday today. I’ll probably end up using my ‘sons-talking-to-mums’ voice on the phone when I call her. Have you ever heard it? If you listen carefully to people who’ve known each other all their lives, you’ll pick up on a unique mixture of love, underscored by exasperation. Venus is the focus of the frenetic Mars-Uranus energy that we’re experiencing. Yet the Planet of Love’s link to Neptune suggests that, no matter how exasperated we feel, we can be sensitive.

ARIES MAR 21 - APR 20

With Uranus in your sign making links to Venus today, and to your ruler Mars tomorrow, perhaps you need to ask yourself: what is it that isn’t working? What needs shaking up more than a vodka martini at James Bond’s birthday party? Where could a shock to the system provide the energy needed to power you through a situation? There’s at least part of your life through which you’ve been, however unintentionally, sleepwalking. Coming events can spur you into action.

LEO JUL 24 - AUG 23

It can be a very selfish world. So many people appear happy to be rude or unkind. Some don’t even try to hide it - they wear their sneers with pride. So why bother feigning civility? Don’t do that! It would make you a hypocrite. Instead we can all strive to make a genuine, ongoing commitment to be as kind and generous as we can be - irrespective of how others behave. As Venus links to Neptune today, what can you do to make the world match up to your inspired vision for it?

SAGITTARIUS NOV 23 - DEC 21

Is the world at your feet? Maybe - but isn’t that always the case? Isn’t it more important where your feet take you? You want to be on the path to success, not heading down a blind alley. As Venus prepares to align harmoniously with your ruler, if you’re feeling confident, you should be. The universe has got your back. It’s encouraging you to trust your spontaneity, utilise your visionary powers and allow them to carry you forward. I have a hunch that you’ll love where they take you.

TAURUS APR 21 - MAY 21

It’s natural to look back on a mistake and think, ‘I wish I’d done that differently’. That’s how we learn. But there’s a fine line between wishing things were different and being overly selfcritical. When a friend says, ‘Don’t beat yourself up about it’, they’re offering sound advice. That wisdom is particularly true for you now. Today brings a moment to forgive yourself and wriggle free from bonds of guilt and reconsider your ambitious decision. You might not be mistaken after all.

VIRGO AUG 24 - SEP 23

Life is so filled with diversions that it’s sometimes impossible to believe we’re getting anywhere. What if it’s all just an endless series of distractions? What a depressing thought! Fortunately, like life, most roads are full of twists and turns. They might take a little longer than a straighter path, but we reach our destination eventually. Have confidence that life is taking you in the right direction. Though the journey might not be as smooth as you’d hoped, it’s as important as the finish line.

CAPRICORN DEC 22 - JAN 20

We’re always being told what is and isn’t good for us. The problem is that everyone’s tells us different things! So, I’d understand your scepticism when I tell you that coming events will have a significant, and positive impact on your life. They might not seem like a blessing when they arrive, though. Especially as, with Mars opposite your sign, you might be tempted to fight any changes that appear to threaten your foundations. Hold your courage and your ground.

You’ll see! This week’s Grand Trine brings fresh inspiration and hope. Call 1900 959 005.

GEMINI MAY 22 - JUN 22

With Venus in your sign, we’ve spoken about how your charm is enhanced. Today, I’m going to talk about something similar: magic. Most of us are mesmerised by an illusion. Be it sleight of hand, or one of those popular showpieces that involve disappearing landmarks, we enjoy the artfulness of the craft. But, the world is filled with natural magic that you don’t need to be near a stage to access. Generous praise, admiration and wonder are all around you… as you’ll soon see.

LIBRA SEP 24 - OCT 23

Librans are peaceful. You abhor making others uncomfortable… and are almost always able to find a peaceful conclusion to conflict. But, despite that, you have strong views, which you’re not afraid of sharing. Contradictory? Definitely. But that’s part of being a Libran! A recent change has caused some surprising reactions. Fortunately, you know that reaching a decision based on reason is far more important than doing something because it looks good. Do the right thing.

AQUARIUS JAN 21 - FEB 19

Jonathan once wrote a book about ‘cosmic ordering’ - how to ask the universe for a favour. He explained that there are ways of expressing desires that make them more likely to come true. When we know how a system works, we can tailor our applications accordingly (and much more successfully). Once, a long time ago, you asked a question of the cosmos. As we approach the Grand Trine, with links to both your sign’s rulers, an answer is emerging. Are you ready to hear it? A powerful celestial portent brings positivity and potential.

CANCER JUN 23 - JUL 23

‘He started it!’ ‘No I didn’t - he did!’ It’s a familiar refrain in school playgrounds. Teachers have a thankless task when trying to get to the bottom of a fight between classmates, Sadly, we never quite grow out of the blame game. People, businesses, even governments, do it. How many international conflicts could be avoided if politicians rose above the fray? Ask yourself what you would gain from an argument today. Focusing on the bigger picture will be more advantageous.

SCORPIO OCT 24 - NOV 22

They say that if something must be done, ask a busy person to do it. The idea is that someone with lots to do can easily handle another task. But that doesn’t bode well if you want something done well. If a process requires care and dedication, it’s unlikely to receive as much attention from someone under pressure to get it off their plate. You may have a lot to deal with, but there’s something that you can’t afford to take any shortcuts with. Be efficient, yes, but also be careful.

PISCES FEB 20 - MAR 20

Astrologers often stereotype Pisceans as open-minded, adaptable folk with their heads in the clouds. I’m not sure that’s fair. You care deeply about people and situations, and often evince a steely determination in defence of justice and human rights. Currently, though, you may be feeling so defensive that you’re seeing threats where there are none. Step back; you’ll find that life’s giving you a clear run in the direction you want to go. If your head is in the clouds, it will enjoy the view!
