ARIES MAR 21 - APR 20

Bob Dylan said, ‘behind every beautiful thing, there’s some kind of pain’, and it’s true that we all seem to have a masochisti­c streak – why else would so many of us make our lives harder than they need to be? Is this just a part of being human? And, if not, why don’t we implement the changes necessary in order to simplify things? It’s worth taking a closer look at what’s upsetting you. There’s no need to let it affect you so deeply. If you take a step back, you’ll see what you need to do.

LEO JUL 24 - AUG 23

It seems that disaster is always striking somewhere in the world. Whether it’s caused by the forces of nature, or the wrath of man, our news channels and internet feeds are inundated with the suffering of others. It isn’t always clear what to do to help. It can feel as if our acts of charity are too small to make a difference. But no display of generosity is insignific­ant or invaluable. Even the smallest kindness has a profound effect. You have an opportunit­y to make a contributi­on to an unresolved conflict today.

SAGITTARIU­S NOV 23 - DEC 21

Ah, you’re playing a game of Guess Who? You seem to have figured it all out: hair colour, eye colour, gender; you’re poised to win, you make your guess and you’re ... wrong! We’ve all jumped to a conclusion, believing that we had all the pieces of the mystery. Worse than being wrong though, is when we’re unwilling to see where we’ve made the error of judgment. Sometimes it’s easy to admit that you’ve made a mistake. If you want to find the right conclusion, it’s worth reassessin­g.

TAURUS APR 21 - MAY 21

We can get very tangled in our worries. Yes, you may face some conflict and upset in the short term. Yes, you may be concerned about money, or emotional upheavals. But, you’ve experience­d such challenges before. And, as you’ve done in the past, you’ll come through with a smile. That happy moment will be reached far more quickly if you can put your problems into perspectiv­e. As Neptune’s presence looms large, don’t be fooled into thinking things are bigger than they are.

VIRGO AUG 24 - SEP 23

Old wounds can make us guarded. We become wary of other people’s intentions, and doubt our feelings towards those trying to help us. Affection, respect and trust take a while to be earned. So what exactly has someone done to earn your confidence? The proof of this pudding is, as they say, in the eating. You don’t need to be so cautious. Sometimes, people or situations that seem too good to be true are just that: good and true. The help you’re being offered is worth taking.

CAPRICORN DEC 22 - JAN 20

In the introducti­on to today’s forecasts I talk about Mercury’s link with your ruler having a grounding effect. But for Capricorns it speaks about issues of faith. That may seem rather contradict­ory – especially in a forecast for those born under the sign that’s most unlikely to believe what it hears! But this doesn’t mean that you don’t have a spiritual side. You just tend to need evidence to justify your beliefs. Try recognisin­g how far you’ve come this year; you’re about to do even better.

GEMINI MAY 22 - JUN 22

Have you ever had to solve a puzzle where you were given the answer and asked to work out the question? It’s supposed to encourage lateral thinking. In real life, though, it’s hard to see the point of such exercises. The beauty of overcoming a challenge, is in the positive changes that are created by success. You might not be feeling quite this way about the issue you’re facing. But that’s because you haven’t worked out how to overcome it yet! As soon as you have, you’ll feel very differentl­y.

LIBRA SEP 24 - OCT 23

Our customs are strange. Where I’m from, it’s obligatory for a host to offer a visitor a cup of coffee or tea. The correct response is, ‘only if it’s not too much trouble?’ When it turns out to be no trouble at all, the polite guest will then ask for ‘whichever is easiest’. Of course, there’s absolutely no difference between the two! We play an elaborate charade of politeness because social codes demand it. Follow an establishe­d code today, but don’t let it prevent you from getting what you really want.

AQUARIUS JAN 21 - FEB 19

They say that knowledge is power. But power isn’t always advantageo­us. In this era of high-priced gadgetry, bargain hunters are often tempted to charge their devices on power supplies made by dodgy manufactur­ers, even when there are reports of them delivering too much energy and causing fires. But you didn’t come here for consumer advice. In fact, where you seek your advice is important today. Watch out for people with too much informatio­n. Heed enough to get the job done.

CANCER JUN 23 - JUL 23

Does the Queen ever do her own dusting? It’s hard not to smile at the idea of the monarch donning her apron, and waving a feather duster over the Buckingham Palace knick-knacks. But she might enjoy polishing the silverware, and, if she did, would it devalue her importance? No! Don’t feel undermined by having to deal with what seems to be a minor matter. As Mercury links with Saturn today, last weekend’s Mars-Neptune opposition will help you to maintain grace under fire.

OCT 24 - NOV 22

There’s something clearly wrong when smoke billows from the engine of a car. It’s obvious to everyone that the vehicle needs to stop, and that expert help is needed. But, how do you know who to trust? Someone passing by may appear to be knowledgea­ble, but who’s to say that they know what lies at the root of this particular problem? Isn’t it better to call a mechanic? Similarly, don’t rush to find a solution now. Especially since you’re unsure about the cause of the problem.

PISCES FEB 20 - MAR 20

‘The enemy of my enemy is my friend.’ The earliest known expression of this concept was in the Fourth Century, written in Sanskrit. In English, the first appearance is 1884. This illustrate­s the fact that people have been forming unlikely alliances for at least a thousand years! If you hope to get justice in a current situation, you might consider adopting such an approach. Though a new partnershi­p may see you paired with someone you don’t exactly get along with, it could be most beneficial.
