YOUR STARS

My experience of the Eclipse didn’t quite go to plan. As the world gazed up at the ring of fire, I was staring in the other direction, at a very different blackness, dealing with a virulent tummy bug! I thought I’d miss the spectacular cosmic event but, at the crucial moment, my fellow star-gazers rallied around me. Risking life and lunch, they brought me outside to view the totality. As incredible a sight as it was, it was their compassion that touched me the most.

ARIES MAR 21 APR 20

A realm of possibilities opens up, and something that was unachievable becomes possible. I’m here today, to prepare you for a moment like this. When the moment dawns – it will be so bright you might need to wear shades! Discover priceless information that can create the changes you need, call 1900 959 005.

LEO JUL 24 - AUG 23

Carl Sagan was an astronomer, cosmologist and astrophysicist, who dedicated his life to studying the stars. He was also a terrific wordsmith: ‘We are like butterflies who flutter for a day and think it is forever.’ Could one of the reasons that life, on planet earth is so brilliant be because it is so short? There’s no point worrying about tomorrow, or holding on to fleeting moments of greatness. There will be more. The most important news I can give you is this: today has the makings of an excellent day. Discover priceless information that can create the changes you need, call 1900 959 005.

SAGITTARIUS NOV 23 - DEC 21

Should anything ever be considered impossible? Well, ‘obviously,’ some people would say, after all, it’s impossible for humans to live underwater or to fly. And they’re right. But how many of today’s inventions would our ancestors have believed impossible? Today’s impossible is tomorrow’s possibility. And that doesn’t just apply to the big things. A slight change of approach can turn a disaster into an opportunity. Your world is filled with possible impossibilities if you only see them as such.

TAURUS APR 21 - MAY 21

You have sole responsibility for your emotions. I know that you know this deep down, but I’m reminding you. Why? Because it can be difficult to remember who’s in control, when we’re not feeling our best. And it seems that you’ve forgotten, if just a little, that ultimately you hold the keys. So, if you find yourself in need of a little bravery or daring, you know where to look. You already have plenty of it. All you need to do is make a little extra effort. Then, you can turn this situation to your advantage.

VIRGO AUG 24 - SEP 23

When my son was a baby and we stayed with family, my wife would pack the contents of the house. The travel-cot, the nest he required for a nap, two monitors (one for our bedroom, one for the living room), black-out blinds, nappies, clothes, toys, bottles, and much more. It meant that soon after we’d arrived, I’d disappear for half a day just to unload the car. Mercury reverses out of Virgo tomorrow. But it’ll soon be back, and you’ll start feeling much more settled and ready to move on. Calling your forecast could be one of the most rewarding calls you make. Call 1900 959 005.

CAPRICORN DEC 22 - JAN 20

Like a cat, you always land on your feet. You have a natural ability to devise a plan for every event, and you’re careful not to get caught off guard. Thanks to your preparedness, you’re rarely thrown off balance either. But, doesn’t all this hard work tire you out? You’ll be relieved to know that it’s time for a change of pace. The cosmos presents you with an opportunity. For once, you can put your feet up. Go with the flow, it’s smooth sailing from here on. The universe will take care of the rest. Calling your forecast could be one of the most rewarding calls you make. Call 1900 959 005.

GEMINI MAY 22 - JUN 22

Your ruler, Mercury, turns direct again next week. Until then, it continues to appear to move backwards in the sky. Tomorrow it revisits the sign it left last month. There’s a conversation that’s been haunting you since then. Something was left unsaid, or an idea wasn’t fully realised. It’s been rattling around in your subconscious like a noisy ghost in an old mansion. Don’t worry, there’s no need for a ghostbuster! You know how to lay these issues to rest. Then you can have some peace.

LIBRA SEP 24 - OCT 23

Some disputes never really leave the playground. The gang culture that blights our cities is really nothing more than an escalation of childish scraps in the schoolyard. Only now it involves knives and guns, and a twisted sense of honour, loyalty and duty. It’s a dangerously simplistic world view, with no room for reason or nuance. Right now you have the option to adopt a similarly juvenile approach - or open your mind to other possibilities and tackle the situation you’re facing, like a proper grown-up.

AQUARIUS JAN 21 - FEB 19

How often do we tell ourselves: ‘no pain, no gain’? Whether we’re nursing pulled muscles after the latest gym session, or suffering emotional fall-out from a difficult situation, we justify pain by convincing ourselves that it means that things are getting better. But what kind of logic is that? Surely a sadomasochistic streak is no solution. Look, by all means, for a higher meaning in difficult events. But remember that seeking to make a change isn’t a failure - it might just be the sensible option. Discover priceless information that can create the changes you need, call 1900 959 005.

CANCER JUN 23 - JUL 23

The concept of the apocalypse has fascinated and terrified us since the world began. You might remember the furore in 2011 as the New Year approached. The Mayans had prophesied that the world would end in 2012 - and a panic ensued. Except it didn’t happen. Not that we should be overly surprised - by many estimations, the apocalypse should have happened hundreds, even thousands of years ago! Perhaps it won’t come after all. Neither will the disaster you currently fear.

SCORPIO OCT 24 - NOV 22

A gift-wrapped opportunity is yours for the taking! It’s everything you’ve dreamed of. So why does something feel wrong? Are you so used to having to work hard for things that you distrust anything that seems too good to be true? Or is your intuition picking up on something a little more valid? ‘Never look a gift horse in the mouth’, they say. Perhaps you’re right to probe a little bit deeper, today. Closer scrutiny won’t hurt if everything’s as it should be. If not, then you’ve dodged a bullet.

PISCES FEB 20 - MAR 20

People can drive your crazy. Sometimes, however hard you try to please them, they insist on staying unhappy. Or they’re hyper-critical of your best efforts. Or they’re deliberately contrary. Does any of this ring a bell? Someone, in your life, is causing you irritation, but are they really behaving any more wilfully than you, on occasion, can be? Just asking! Perhaps, before you go wagging your finger, you could take a look in the mirror. You might just realise who this person reminds you of...
