YOUR STARS

ARIES MAR 21 APR 20

‘Slow and steady wins the race’. Thus spoke the tortoise to the hare in Aesop’s tale. And, in most cases the tortoise is right. Certainly, when it comes to evaluating situations, it’s better to weigh a decision up before making one. Unless, that is, we’re forced to decide something while under intense pressure. If we’re forced to, we can make instant brilliant choices. Fortunately you’re not under quite that much stress right now. You have the luxury of time to reflect. It’s better to take that time than jump to a conclusion today.

Every now and then something happens to remind us of the extraordinariness of the world around us - the vastness of its deserts, the depths of its seas, the varieties of its people. It’s a humbling feeling. There’s so much we can never know. We are but a drop in the ocean of time. But that doesn’t invalidate the knowledge we have. You’re on the edge of finding the answer to a bewildering problem. If you just trust yourself, and have confidence in your abilities, you’ll be delighted by what you can achieve this weekend.

Happiness is infectious. It’s almost impossible not to smile back at someone who smiles at you, or not to join in with laughter. Positive energy seems to float along the breeze, touching everyone it meets. What an awe-inspiring thing it is to be responsible for so much joy! You often carry that responsibility. It’s not so easy, though, when you’re feeling that there’s not much to smile about. Be reassured that the Eclipse will enable you to turn a corner. You’ll be back to spreading sunshine before you know it!

Do you remember the playground game, ‘stuck in the mud’? It’s funny how there are times like that in life, when taking another step feels difficult. It’s not, though, as much fun as the game used to be. Probably that’s because the stakes are higher outside the playground. Your current feeling of being stuck isn’t caused by material circumstances. You aren’t physically trapped. Today, just as the bell would ring at the end of playtime, you’ll be able to pull yourself out of the mud as if it were never there.

VIRGO AUG 24 - SEP 23

Yesterday we talked about the effectiveness of finding common ground with someone important. Though it’s easy to think that the difficulties you’re facing are not yours to deal with: that’s only half the answer! Miscommunication is both understandable and forgivable. It’s a natural part of relationships. As we head towards the Total Eclipse, you have the opportunity to remake your world in an image closer to the one in your heart. Any communication problems can be ironed out with ease this weekend.

Sometimes you feel as if there’s someone watching out for you. It’s as if you’re being given an invisible helping hand. Right now, though, it feels as if your guardian angel has gone AWOL. You feel alone, left to face your problems without any insight. Our guardian angels are sometimes called away to tend to matters more complicated than we can imagine. They’re dealing with the background negotiations – of which we remain blissfully unaware. Sit tight and stay optimistic. Negatives will soon blossom into positives.

Yesterday, we talked about pausing for breath. But I don’t want to stop you in your tracks. I recently saw a documentary about free diving. It made me think about you and your current situation. Before each dive, the divers breathe calmly and deeply, filling themself with as much air as possible. This enables them to swim for longer and deeper, unaided by breathing apparatus. The delays that you’re facing are necessary preparation for what lies ahead. The potential for change, signaled by the Eclipse, is breathtakingly deep.

LIBRA SEP 24 - OCT 23

We talked, yesterday, about the value of persistence. Often, when we decide we’re going to fight for something, it can be hard to gauge the right amount to push, pull, or demand. We become so fixated on our goal that we adopt a hard line, even with people who would have helped us, if only we’d thought to ask. We can end up doing more harm than good. Don’t give up on your dream, but there’s no need to make a mountain of a molehill. Harness the transformative power of the Eclipse to reach your goals.

Building a fixed link between England and France was first proposed in 1802. But the complexity of the project meant that the Channel Tunnel only opened in 1994. These days, passengers don’t give a second thought to jumping on a train in one country and emerging in another. At the moment someone is trying to sell you an idea based on the potential rewards of a scheme. They’re not mentioning the heavy lifting needed to achieve it. Don’t hold back, but ask yourself first: do you want this as much as they do?

We know the sequence of most of life’s big events: birth, nursery, school, move to a bigger school, set off into the world, start a job, relocate and so on. Most things follow a pattern. We know what to expect. But that’s not the case for you at the moment. Circumstances are changing in unpredictable ways. The sequence is out of sync. Rather than trying to put things around the right way, if you take a look at the beginning of this sequence, it will start to make sense. You’re being freed from obligations now.

SCORPIO OCT 24 - NOV 22

We’ve all been driven potty by a song on the radio, or a jingle on TV. Every time it pops up you dash for the ‘off’ switch. The tune is terrible, the lyrics are nonsense and yet it’s infuriatingly popular. Now, imagine being in a room where you have to listen to that song - and the rest of the artist’s playlist - for an hour. What a nightmare! It would be torture… or would it? Instead of putting your fingers in your ears, could you find some way of learning to like the music? A minor tweak to your mind-set will reap rewards this weekend.

To succeed, all you need is grit and determination. Well, not quite. Willpower is undoubtedly important… without resolve you can only get so far. But you also need ingenuity and adaptability. And there’s another quality that is equally important: patience. Naturally you want to get on with things this weekend. Better, though, to take your time. For all the instant gratification of a quick fix, the best results will require dedication and commitment. If you think of the tortoise rather than hare, you’re on the right track.
