YOUR STARS

One of the best acts I’ve ever seen at the Edinburgh Fringe was someone who performed as The Boy With Tape On His Face. This time, he went under the moniker Tape Face, but, to paraphrase Bill Shakespeare, whatever name this particular rose goes under, it seems to guarantee an hour of inventive, enthralling and hilarious entertainment. When you’re a mime artist, your actions are guaranteed to speak louder than words. And as Mercury conjuncts Mars this weekend, the stage is set for us to follow his example.

ARIES MAR 21 - APR 20

Yesterday, we talked about taking time for a little rest and recreation. I’m hoping you were able to do that because, as Mercury conjuncts your ruler Mars this weekend, the gas pedal and your foot are unlikely to be strangers! And it’s not just your energy levels that are being ramped up. Passions are being laid bare, and emotions articulated in ways that, when Mercury was retrograde recently, would have appeared startlingly direct. Luckily, this is an environment in which you can thrive, and have fun too. How can the Equinox transform your life? For inspiring news, call 1900 959 005.

LEO JUL 24 - AUG 23

I understand why you’re frustrated. It’s irritating when somebody can’t see what’s right in front of their eyes. You’re starting to feel as if you’re going around in circles. You couldn’t possibly make yourself clearer... could you? You’ve tried being direct, but to no avail. The planets are highlighting a different perspective. More often than not, denial is born out of fear. If you can make it clear that you’re coming from a place of love, your attempts to address a sensitive situation will be better received. Capture the powerful energy of the Equinox. Call 1900 959 005.

SAGITTARIUS NOV 23 - DEC 21

Imagine you’re on a running track. Ahead of you, one hundred metres away, is the finishing line. That’s where happiness awaits. The starting gun is fired but, as you set off, a series of hurdles spring up in front of you. Some look impossible to jump over. What will you do? Head back to the changing room and swap your running shoes for slippers? Or keep running and trust that you’ll find a way around the obstacles. You have momentum now. And the insight to make it past the finish tape. The Equinox can transform your world. There’s energy available to you. Call 1900 959 005.

TAURUS APR 21 - MAY 21

Are you feeling lucky? The answer probably depends on how much luck you need to consider yourself ‘lucky’. Enough to get the job you’d like? Enough to win the lottery? Perhaps, in a particular area of your life, it’s time to re-evaluate. Could the problem you’ve been scrabbling with be more in your mind than in your reality? Could there be a straightforward solution that you haven’t seen yet? This weekend, you can find a way to solve it that will make you feel lucky indeed.

Let the warmth and power of the Equinox inspire you. Call 1900 959 005.

VIRGO AUG 24 - SEP 23

Watching superhero films remind us of our limitations. However hard we try, invisibility or leaping over giant buildings is beyond our skill-set. Those muscle-bound titans in tights can do it all! Yet, when you put your mind to it, you have pretty impressive powers of your own. With determination, dedication and belief, you can shift huge obstacles and conquer the most intractable challenges. That problem you’re worried about: now is the time to use your ingenuity to plot a path around it.

The power of the Equinox can be harnessed right now. Call 1900 959 005.

CAPRICORN DEC 22 - JAN 20

When talking about your character traits, astrologers often sound contradictory. We tell you that you’re pragmatic and sensible - almost incapable of doing anything without careful evaluation. Yet we also say that you’re intensely emotional, and sometimes allow your desires to overcome your judgement. Neither characterisation is wrong. You can justify emotionally inspired actions just as much as pragmatic ones. Whichever way you choose, try to react appropriately this weekend.

The Equinox brings powerful positive change! For great news, call 1900 959 005.

GEMINI MAY 22 - JUN 22

Do you see yourself like a queen bee, or do you feel more like one of the workers? Though worker bees might seem less important than her regal highness, without their input the hive system would collapse. Then no one gets any honey! You might not feel that your contribution is as important as others. But your input is crucial. You have a voice that people listen to and respect. This weekend, you can use your communication skills and make a real difference. The effect will be sweet.

The Equinox can transform your world. There’s energy available to you. Call 1900 959 005.

LIBRA SEP 24 - OCT 23

Hurrah for the X-Men - the mutants who save the world. We might envy their superhuman powers but, in the recent film series, actress Jennifer Lawrence’s costume was so intricate that bathroom breaks were challenging. The sacrifices these people make in the name of saving the planet! A recent selfsacrifice has left you dealing with a set of almost impossible conditions. But ‘almost impossible’ is a long way from being unfeasible. And this weekend will bring an opportunity to prove it was worth it. How can the Equinox transform your life? For inspiring news, call 1900 959 005.

AQUARIUS JAN 21 - FEB 19

Outer space fascinates most of us. Its vastness holds a million possibilities. Might we find evidence of other life forms? Would they be benevolent or tyrannical? Will we develop the technology to inhabit other planets? I’m optimistic that we’ll solve some of these questions soon. But you don’t need to wait around before setting off on your own frontier-breaking adventure. It might not be space travel, but it presents a similarly infinite range of opportunities. Don’t let uncertainty hold you back. Capture the powerful energy of the Equinox. Call 1900 959 005.

CANCER JUN 23 - JUL 23

Sometimes an event occurs that makes us marvel at the human capacity to feel. The explosion of emotions - some complementary, others contradictory, can both inspire and overwhelm us. This is especially true for a Cancerian, who can slide from one emotional extreme to the next with a ferocity that surprises even you! In this confusion, don’t let the negatives count for more than the positives. If you can stay calm and weigh things up, you’ll find the scales are tipped in your favour.

The Equinox brings powerful positive change! For great news, call 1900 959 005.

SCORPIO OCT 24 - NOV 22

Sometimes it’s only by having a good old ding-dong that things open up and have a chance to be resolved. As Mercury, now direct again, repeats its conjunction with your ruler Mars this weekend, you can communicate what you mean, and have your motives understood. Or at least, have the motives you want to reveal be understood! You have a reputation for revealing as much as is necessary and not a jot more. But if you want to forge solid connections now, truth might be the best way to bond. Let the warmth and power of the Equinox inspire you. Call 1900 959 005.

PISCES FEB 20 - MAR 20

Back-seat drivers! Not only do they inflict their questionable music choices on everyone, they also have a habit of taking responsibility for getting you there on time if they’ve so much as glanced at the satnav! And that’s ridiculous. It’s your hands on the wheel. You’re the one in control. And, you’d be fine without their interference, thank you very much! Don’t let yourself be belittled by someone who’s not as well informed as you this weekend. You have no reason to doubt yourself. The power of the Equinox can be harnessed right now. Call 1900 959 005.
