YOUR STARS

This is an exciting time for people called Oscar. We keep hearing about our namesakes being awarded to the creatively rich and talented people of the film industry. As much as I might be thrilled at the prospect of going home with some of the recipients, I have to remember it’s an Academy Award, not a balding astrologer, who the stars are competing for! If there’s confusion arising from the weekend’s SunNeptune conjunction, Mercury and Venus entering Aries tomorrow will help bring clarity. Teletopia. Max call cost $1.32 per minute, including GST.

ARIES MAR 21 APR 20

You have a clear understanding of what you need to do, a realistic notion of how to approach it, and clarity about what you want to achieve. Although the picture you’ve created in your mind is powerful and vibrant, it’s not quite as accurate as it needs to be. You’ve made some assumptions and jumped to conclusions based on slightly dodgy evidence. As Venus and Mercury move into your sign, they will enable you to discover the information you need so that you can move towards a tangible goal.

LEO JUL 24 - AUG 23

The award for best dramatic screenplay goes to… actually, this is not an award that you want to win! Intense, action-packed thrillers are entertaining when viewed from a comfy seat, with popcorn to help you through the scary bits, but not so easy when you’re the main character. Fortunately, you don’t have to be the protagonist of a thriller right now. You’re being given an opportunity to take a step back and direct the action from behind the scenes. It’s not as adrenalin fuelled, but you have more control.

SAGITTARIUS NOV 23 - DEC 21

What’s the point in being cross and bothered? No matter how justified we may be, it’s always better to forgive and forget. Sometime we need to protect ourselves from the impact of our own negative responses. It’s easy to see why you fear that you’ll lose face if you let go of a particularly irksome concern. You don’t want anyone to feel as if they can just get away with sloppy behavior. So, be aware of what you say… and then move on, leaving this behind you. You don’t need it any more.

TAURUS APR 21 - MAY 21

Just think how much effort you’ve been putting in so far this year. Of course you haven’t yet achieved all that you wanted. The trick is to remember that nothing is ever quite as successful as we’d like it to be. If we can hold on to this premise, it helps us to stop driving ourselves quite so hard to reach goals. As Venus and Mercury move into a new sign now, they bring a hopeful possibility for your aspirations to be achieved in a gentle and kindlier way. Be generous with yourself today. Powerful changes are possible. To maximise and enjoy the effects, call: 1900 959 005.

VIRGO AUG 24 - SEP 23

When people extol the benefits of making good eye contact they’re actually talking about seeing beyond what’s going on in someone’s eyes. When we look carefully, we can see what’s happening in their mind. You don’t need to develop psychic powers right now, though! You already have the empathy skills and enough emotional intelligence to gain the insight you need. If you take an optimistic view of a difficult situation today, you’ll be surprised by the positivity of someone’s response. Powerful changes are possible.

CAPRICORN DEC 22 - JAN 20

Some people are hyper sensitive and hardly need to be spoken to before they read more into a situation than they need to. They over-react to the slightest provocation. It’s not easy to just smooth things over either. The more effort you expend trying to improve the situation, the bigger the hole you find yourself in. Often, in such circumstances, the best course of action is to simply step back and do nothing. Time heals, and even just allowing time for a proper pause can be effective. Keep your cool this week.

GEMINI MAY 22 - JUN 22

Since every single person on the planet sees the world from a different perspective, it’s hardly surprising that there are disputes and disagreements. It’s pretty extraordinary that anyone ever manages to agree with anyone else! You’re feeling as if you’re stuck out on a lonely limb, and finding it hard to find someone to share your feelings with. Luckily, as your ruler moves into a new home alongside Venus, you’re about to find unexpected support from someone who’s very close to home. Mercury and Venus are moving homes.

LIBRA SEP 24 - OCT 23

Even when you try to keep change to a minimum life has a habit of throwing unexpected challenges into your path. What’s more, the very nature of them means that they crop up just when they’re least expected! You should find it relatively easy to stay on a safe and steady path this week. It’s even possible that you’ll find yourself slipping into habits you thought you’d long shaken off. So maybe keep your eyes peeled for any unexpected moments. They might be worth holding on to!

AQUARIUS JAN 21 - FEB 19

This is the moment you’ve been waiting for: when you can make a change and do something differently. But now it’s here, you’re aware of the sense of steadiness that comes with just rolling along doing things in the same old way. But you can find that feeling again. It’s just that you need to deal with a situation that needs to be challenged and changed. You’re in a position to think productively now. Yes, you might stoke up some trouble, but you’ll also release your latent powers.

CANCER JUN 23 - JUL 23

n the fiercely competitive world of air travel, many airlines have had to sacrifice the luxury of the first-class cabin in order to make space for more seats. This must make it challenging for the rich and famous. If they haven’t got the means to hire their own jet, they’re forced to share the journey with the hoi polloi. Following the Mercury and Venus conjunction, it’s as if life is extending you the offer of a free upgrade. You might need to use your charm. But it will be well worth the effort.

SCORPIO OCT 24 - NOV 22

There isn’t an obvious answer to the puzzle you’re facing. You’re not overlooking anything. It’s clear too, why you feel as if you’re looking at a set of limited options. But suppose you were to dig below the surface a little? What would happen if you applied your creativity and your resourcefulness to the matter that’s demanding your attention? The cosmos is encouraging you to think around all the obstacles, and play with all the possibilities facing you. You can uncover a most satisfying plan.

PISCES FEB 20 - MAR 20

Thank goodness that breathing comes so naturally that we don’t have to remember to do it. If the responsibility were ours, we might forget. Nature looks after many other critical functions too, including providing us with enough beauty and wonder to keep us happy. The strong cosmic conjunctions which have just occurred in your sign suggest there’s still plenty around to help you to enjoy yourself now. Your responsibility this week is simply to follow your natural disposition to be content.
