YOUR STARS

Capricorn is the sign of the sea-goat, and remains home to most of the zodiac’s important players for a little while longer. It’s an opportunity to appropriate the traits of resourcefulness and patience which are characteristics of this part of the sky. As the New Moon arrives, we’re encouraged to think again about what we’re hoping to achieve this year. Not every dream will become a possibility. But if sensible, practical steps are taken, there’s a new way to get what’s needed. What we realistically visualise can be achieved. Teletopia. Max call cost $1.32 per minute, including GST.

ARIES MAR 21 APR 20

Despite the (almost) certain fact that your present plan will be rebuffed by someone, you’re not going to be swayed off course. Just because you’re attempting to massage a set of circumstances so that this particular person will change their attitude doesn’t mean that you’re unscrupulous. ‘Heaven helps those who help themselves’ can be your motto for today! As long as you don’t feel that you’re compromising your integrity or your ideals, there’s nothing to be concerned about.

Sometimes things have to be destroyed before rebuilding can occur. Just ask anyone who works in construction… a lot of messy work has to be completed before anything shiny and new can be created. Following Jupiter and Pluto’s alignment today, and the imminent New Moon, you’re moving away from your regular routine and discovering something new. You may feel anxious about having to make changes that you’re not ready to make. But they’re leading to a new phase of your future.

Do you know anyone who actually uses all the commands on their smartphone? Personally, I’ve got no idea what most of them do. There are some functions I should be able to use, but haven’t quite worked out yet, and there are other things that I don’t know anything about, which are on my ‘to-do’ list of things to investigate. Most of us have similar issues regarding our own personal skills and abilities. Jupiter’s link to Pluto reveals keys to resources you don’t even know you have.

When people talk about going on a ‘journey of self-discovery’ it always sounds as if they’re off on a trip to the superstore and will be back, just in time for tea and a piece of cake, to tell you about the experience. The truth, though, is that such journeys last a lifetime. Your ‘self’ is a multi-faceted complexity that can’t just be surveyed like a building. It’s more like a Tardis, the more you see the more there is to discover. You’re ready to voyage into new territory. Enjoy the trip!

VIRGO AUG 24 - SEP 23

When it comes to creativity, we tend to put people into little boxes: it’s OK to be creative if you’re an artist, and not OK if you teach mathematics. That’s the kind of thinking that most of us fall into. We’re inundated with images that reinforce stereotypes. Yet, you’re now being encouraged to move beyond a protocol and investigate a fresh opportunity. Is that going to mean risking the status quo? You’ll know whether the risk is worth taking… just follow your heart. It knows what’s best.

CAPRICORN DEC 22 - JAN 20

When I explained the real meaning of Christmas to my fouryear-old, I told him that what makes it special isn’t the presents, but the time with family and friends. ‘Yes’, he agreed, ‘and playing with new toys’. As Venus prepares to leave Capricorn, you may start to focus on your material possessions. But it’s important to remember what, and who, has enabled you to get to this point. The New Moon brings fresh perspective and reminds you of the value of a passing but powerful emotional connection.

Don’t you get tired of innovating, exciting change? Is anything really wrong with the mundane, the humdrum and the traditional? Nope! Not if we’re happy with what we’re doing. The New Moon highlights your routines, and challenges you to think about whether you’re stuck in a rut, or deliberately choosing to do what you do because it makes you happy. You’ve entered a different terrain recently. Just because you feel a little unnerved is no reason to give up. A positive move is possible now.

If you’re feeling that your emotional life has had a reboot, that’s because it has! Celestial powers have combined to place you in a situation that you recognise, but this time, you have an upgraded ability to cope with it. Just draw on your previous experience and then you can fix whatever needs fixing. There’ll be a surprise or two in store as you make important adjustments to a working relationship. But as long as you keep your focus on what lies ahead, things will work out much better.

Venus enters Aquarius tomorrow. But you don’t actually need to wait another moment, let alone a full 24 hours, to feel more connected and in tune with your fellow humans. The New Moon brings fresh perspective and helps you to see the value of an emotional connection that runs deeper than you thought. It’s not what you do, but who you are, at a fundamental level, that allows you to share a wonderful experience now. Compassion and understanding can take you to an unexpectedly lovely place.

When talking about love, Mother Teresa said ‘We need to love without getting tired’. Of course, there are many different kinds of love and she was talking about the kind that you need in order to feel love for the world… the love that’s at the heart of creation. If you can be compassionate, empathetic, forgiving and appreciative now, you’ll draw those qualities into your life. With Jupiter’s link to Pluto today, plus the New Moon, your enthusiasm will be generously reciprocated.

PISCES FEB 20 - MAR 20

We’re all very good at disguising our idiosyncratic ways. We don’t even realise that we’re doing it. We just naturally hide them away until we’ve established a relationship with someone, then, when they’re not looking, we reveal the side of ourselves that we only show to the people we know best. And of course, other people do the same thing to us. No one on the planet is truly completely sensible and sane! All you need to make the best of your current situation, is a sense of humour.
