YOUR STARS

Venus moves from its link with Mars to form a powerful pattern in the sky. It lines up opposite Pluto, with the energy of this dynamic expressed through Jupiter, which is midway between them. This astrological ‘T-Square’ speaks of a battle for control that leads to an exciting discovery. Yet this is a conflict for which swords, or even tongues, don’t need to be sharpened. It’s a moment when the power of even a small act of generosity can grow exponentially. It’s time to explore how sweet the fruit of kindness can grow.

ARIES MAR 21 APR 20

You can expect a wake-up call, as the planets form a dynamic Tsquare. This is one of those moments when one of those ships that keep passing in the night can turn into a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. There’s an inevitable air of tension as a longawaited prospect heads your way. Will you wait, maintain the same leisurely pace and just hope that you don’t let this chance pass you by? Or will you run to meet it? Though no one likes to be woken with a start, it’s worth jumping out of bed for this. A rare portal now opens up in this magical time between two eclipses.

LEO JUL 24 - AUG 23

Sometimes everything just clicks into place and you realise that you feel like a million dollars. This is one of those times. The world seems rosy, and even the people around you are starting to notice your glow. Enjoy the attention! After all you’ve been through you deserve this moment. It’s time to reflect on the special relationships and the parts of your life that enrich you and make you happy. Don’t be shy about accepting praise and compliments - and don’t let anyone burst your bubble. A rare portal now opens up in this magical time between two eclipses. Call 1900 959 005.

SAGITTARIUS NOV 23 - DEC 21

When I learned to drive, my instructor used to admonish me for depressing the clutch too soon before bringing the car to a halt. Coasting, she said, wasn’t a good idea. The trouble is that, although the ride gets smoother, we have far less control. And we struggle to access power when we need it. But this is not the time for you to get as depressed as my old clutch! You can get where you need to go. If you’re resourceful and you invest in your cause, you’ll cruise to your destination.

TAURUS APR 21 - MAY 21

Dishonesty can seem so much more powerful than the truth. When you can see how embellishment and disingenuous behaviour garner success, (or at least notoriety), being honest can feel like a mug’s game. It’s so demoralising. Wouldn’t it be easier if you could just embroider things, even if it’s only ever so slightly? But truth catches up with us all eventually. And often, the fallout is much worse than the initial gain. The truth might not be the fastest road to success, but it’s the surest and the best. A rare portal now opens up in this magical time between two eclipses. Call 1900 959 005.

VIRGO AUG 24 - SEP 23

Here’s a question. How exactly can you tell a friend from a foe? Perhaps it seems simple to answer. But, as well as being supportive, a true friend will challenge us. They will call us out when we’re wrong, and be brave enough to risk our wrath. When you consider how challenging a good friend can be, the divide between friend and foe isn’t always so easy to see. A friend must be honest. An enemy will flatter to exploit. You have the vision to see who’s on your side and who is not. Trust your instincts.

CAPRICORN DEC 22 - JAN 20

How long has it been since you properly took stock of your life? On you list of hopes and dreams, where was your current situation? How does your position now figure in terms of your expectations? Was it a case of ‘be careful what you wish for in case you get it’? You might not quite be where you expected to be, but you are in a situation that contains the ideal opportunity to get to where you want to be. Life’s taking a circuitous route, but it doesn’t mean that you won’t reach your destination.

GEMINI MAY 22 - JUN 22

When you’ve been through a tough time it’s natural to want to hold an inquest. Why did it have to happen? What was the point? Was it a test? Did anything good come from it? We look for answers but are not easily satisfied. Just because difficult events can lead to positive outcomes, do we have to trade off a bad time in order to enjoy a good one? It’s time to remind yourself of all that you’ve got right. Then you can work out how to get back to the winning formula. It’s easily within reach.

LIBRA SEP 24 - OCT 23

In The Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy I love the ‘peril-sensitive sunglasses’ which turn black at the first hint of trouble. They save the wearer seeing anything that might make them panic! Would you like a pair? You always see both sides. But being so open-minded and fending off questions about why you’ve made a decision can make you… well… panic! Right now, someone’s overreacting. Don’t be infected by their sense of alarm. Be wary of anyone who rushes to judge. Keep your shades on; stay cool. A rare portal now opens up in this magical time between two eclipses. Call 1900 959 005.

AQUARIUS JAN 21 - FEB 19

I don’t want to shock you, but the world you grew up in no longer exists. The TV shows you used to watch are long gone. The toys you played with are obsolete, or confined to boxes in attics. What once seemed important is not. Still, we stay stuck in our illusions, as if they were the unfading and unfailing eternal truth. And yet we still find our roots, somehow, somewhere, in the times and spaces we live through. Today brings a reminder of what’s really important. It will be surprisingly delightful.

CANCER JUN 23 - JUL 23

They say ‘the darkest hour is just before the dawn.’ And, if you think about how the Earth turns this is certainly true. But we also use it to describe moments in our lives where we seem to have lost light and hope. We have to let things get to a certain state before we address a difficulty… so we carry on with our bad habits and unsatisfactory relationships until we’re forced into action. Something in your life, that has become a source of unhappiness, is changing. You’re about to see an improvement. A rare portal now opens up in this magical time between two eclipses.

PISCES FEB 20 - MAR 20

Pisces is a water sign, ruled by misty Neptune, keeper of dreams, herald of visions, and sometimes, bringer of confusion. With such an astrological ruler you’d think you’d feel at home with Mercury retrograde. But even though you’re used to working in reduced visibility, you still run the risk of clashing with others less skilled at navigating. That’s why it’s important to sound your horn, shine your light, and help anyone floundering. There are tangible rewards from bringing them on board.
