YOUR STARS

In the UK, and other countries that share its Victorian heritage, today is Boxing Day. The name derives from ‘Christmas Boxes’ given to workers for faithful service, and also from boxes containing alms for the poor. Whether you’re working or not today, yesterday’s VenusSaturn conjunction encourages us to take matters of the heart seriously, and be cautious when considering anything expensive - either emotional or financial. It will be pleasantly surprising to discover what can be eked out today. Teletopia. Max call cost $1.32 per minute, including GST. Higher charges from mobiles/payphones may apply.

Have you been ticking off what you received and making notes about whose gifts failed to live up to expectations? I hope not - that’s the kind of attitude likely to encourage Santa to visit the reindeer stables when looking to next fill your stocking! Although it’s Christmas time, this isn’t a celestial environment where you’ll be handed your heart’s desires on a plate. But that doesn’t mean the kitchen is bare. You can still get what you want if you’re willing to put in the effort. NEW! Good tidings await you in your 2018 prediction. GIve me a call: 1900 959 005. LEO JUL 24 - AUG 23 Christmas is all about tradition. Hearth and home or barbecues on a beach. The tradition can change but the idea of repeating an old favourite activity is integral to the exercise. Your life, no matter how caught up with the holidays it may now be, is not quite one and the same thing as the festive season itself. There is room to manoeuvre, scope for improvisation and space for innovation. There’s nothing wrong with the tried and tested this holiday season. But if there’s room for improvement, it needn’t be ignored. NEW! Good tidings await you in your 2018 prediction. GIve me a call: 1900 959 005. SAGITTARIUS NOV 23 - DEC 21 We all become a little luckier at this time of year. Even if our thoughts turn to sources of sadness, they can soon be steered back to more inspiring subjects. Now, what happens to people who feel more fortunate? They become more fortunate! They make choices that turn out to have pleasing consequences. Though she may have exited your sign, Venus’ alignment to Jupiter and Saturn this Christmas can still bless you with an exuberant mood. Indulge it! You can create an entire festive season’s worth of hope and happiness if you just think positively. NEW! To find out about all the exciting possibilities 2018 has is in store. Call 1900 959 005. TAURUS APR 21 - MAY 21 Things aren’t as bad as they look. Nor are they as bad as you fear. And they’re a lot better than one certain someone seems to imagine. Somewhere in your world, there’s a pessimist who takes a very bleak view of current prospects. To them, even Christmas looks more like a threat than a promise. Your involvement with this character has begun to have an impact on your own enthusiasm. You’re not sure what you believe in any more - or what you have to look forward to. But you’re soon going to have your faith restored. Will 2018 be the year that your dreams come true? Find out. Call 1900 959 005. VIRGO AUG 24 - SEP 23 Some people thrive on mayhem and melodrama. The nearer they are to disaster, the happier they seem to be. For much the same reason, many of us enjoy horror movies or roller-coasters. This enhances the sensation of ‘being alive’. That’s what we all yearn to feel. Sometimes, when life is too quiet, everything becomes too flat or dull. Now, about the current source of excitement in your life... If you feel it is doing you good, roll with it. If not, just remember one thing: it is optional! If you want a peaceful Christmas season, you can create one. NEW! Give yourself some good news with your forecast for 2018. Call 1900 959 005. CAPRICORN DEC 22 - JAN 20 You are the same person you have always been, even though the person you once were might have difficulty recognising the person you have become! You’re now looking at a situation that, had it arisen in the distant past, might have left you feeling floored. But it is happening now, not then! You’re ready for it. It is right for you. Life is about growing, learning and moving on. Christmas may be presenting you with a challenge but it is also presenting you with an opportunity that you can rise to and thrive on. Your NEW 2018 prediction is ready. I’ve got great news for you. Call 1900 959 005. GEMINI MAY 22 - JUN 22 The Christmas Day truce of 1914 was unofficial. Troops from both sides stopped shooting, climbed out of their trenches and made friends... albeit briefly. Their commanding officers were furious. How can you keep up an army’s morale if the soldiers know each other to be human beings and not just ‘evil enemies’. You’re tempted to create a caricature and demonise someone or something. But if you can resolve to go beyond that and remain real and human and kind, you’ll move a long way in the right direction. NEW! Your prediction for 2018 is ready! Pick up the phone. Call 1900 959 005. LIBRA SEP 24 - OCT 23 Christmas is traditionally a time for families to get together. Now, we become able to spend time with our relatives and remember, in the process, why we are secretly quite glad that we are normally too busy to see some of them! Tensions arise, conflicts emerge and, if we are not careful, we end up painfully aware of the vast void between ‘how things are supposed to be’ and ‘how they actually are’. Yet despite all that now seems less than ideal, one situation truly is starting to become magical. Enjoy that this week. Will 2018 be the year that your dreams come true? Find out. Call 1900 959 005. AQUARIUS JAN 21 - FEB 19 It’s easy to forget Christmas is a spiritual celebration. But you don’t have to thump a Bible to access its relationship with ‘the divine’. All the world’s religions teach that, if we follow a particular path, we will gain positive attention and co-operation from whatever force governs the universe. Are they wrong? It is not my job to comment. But I do have a duty to point out that your own personal connection to a higher authority is not as tenuous as you fear. For you, the festive season can bring deep spiritual awakening. Treat yourself to an early festive boost! Your 2018 prediction is ready. Call 1900 959 005. CANCER JUN 23 - JUL 23 Before anyone had heard of Christmas, the world held a festival around this time of year. They celebrated the solstice, the turning point in the journey of the Sun as it travels along the horizon. No wonder we all still associate these holidays with a chance to start taking our own lives in a different direction. It may seem as if no such opportunity exists. Other people’s choices seem to limit your choices. But you can choose not to give them that choice. In your personal journey now, it is time to be strong about your true needs. There’s great news in your NEW 2018 year-ahead prediction. Call me 1900 959 005. SCORPIO OCT 24 - NOV 22 Venus didn’t just converge with Saturn yesterday. She also made a slightly tense angle with Jupiter. This would usually just be a footnote on the end of a statement. But with Jupiter in your sign, it’s worth exploring the terms and conditions. After all - you don’t want to get caught out for the lack of a little due diligence! Because Venus isn’t asking you to invest in a scheme with instant return; she’s encouraging you to define what you value and to put your heart into making it work. Don’t let emotion become the enemy of wisdom. Treat yourself to an early festive boost! Your 2018 prediction is ready. Call 1900 959 005. PISCES FEB 20 - MAR 20 You still have the power to make this a wonderful Christmas, not just for yourself but for all you love and care for. What wand must you wave? What spell must you recite? What great sacrifice must you make? None! Indeed, in some ways, the less you do, the better. You just have to be yourself, to be a part of what is happening and to be supportive of others as they grapple with the challenge that the festive season presents. Your time is the greatest gift that you can give; and, in giving, you will receive so much back. NEW! I’ve prepared your forecast for 2018 and it’s packed with news! Call 1900 959 005.
