YOUR STARS

This weekend, it’s time to put our mouth where shortly we’ll be placing our money. It’s all about Mercury, the skilful, dexterous planet of the mind, first angling sharply with the passion of Mars, then converging with the great revolutionary Uranus before slipping into Taurus, the sign of the senses. It’s a time to try new things - or at least think about doing something different! Yet don’t fear drifting off into some escapist fantasy. In the coming days, even pie in the sky could find its way on to the menu.

ARIES MAR 21 - APR 20

Our minds constantly make assumptions. It’s a fundamental skill that we use, almost unconsciously, as we go about our lives. But a single insightful moment can overthrow ten simplistic traditions and a single moment of triumph can redeem a hundred failures. Even when the odds seem stacked against success, with innovative thinking and effective teamwork, transformation is possible. Mercury’s link with your ruler, conjunct with Uranus this weekend, is a chance to rethink and make change. Powerful changes are possible as Uranus moves signs. Call 1900 959 005.

Are you able to open a cupboard? Can you turn on the radio? Can you overcome an anxiety and find a way past an obstacle that’s in your way? Yes! You can do all of these things. As Mercury links with Mars and conjuncts with Uranus you’ll be able to stop merely talking about how to make progress; you’ll have the energy and momentum to initiate effective action.

SAGITTARIUS NOV 23 - DEC 21

We all need to step back from our lives sometimes and reassess why we do what we do. That’s why we have holidays. But, even just taking a moment or two to reflect on our key relationships and habits provides an opportunity to appreciate aspects of our lives that we take for granted. As Mercury links with Uranus, the new perspective you so desperately need is available this weekend. It brings the potential for a flash of inspiration which can inspire you to resolve a problematic situation. Powerful changes are possible as Uranus moves signs. Call 1900 959 005.

TAURUS APR 21 - MAY 21

Of the many games we play, perhaps the most sinister is the ‘Let’s play it safe’ game. The title doesn’t sound particularly worrying. It seems to suggest that if you manage to stay tucked behind the parapet, you’ll be able to continue to live your life untroubled by the shots flying overhead. Yet, where is the excitement in a life without risk and drama? As Mercury links with Mars, conjuncts with Uranus and moves into your sign this weekend, it’s time to stop hiding and act out of inspiration.

It’s an exciting week as innovative Uranus changes signs. Call 1900 959 005.

VIRGO AUG 24 - SEP 23

Even considerate Virgos sometimes say things they don’t mean and mean things that they don’t say. You can’t help it. It’s one of the perils of being human. While other animals don’t seem to have the capacity for vagueness, we have a huge capacity to philosophise and consider the vagaries of our feelings and points of view. It’s a blessing and a curse! As your ruler links to Mars and Uranus, before changing signs this weekend, just through being honest you’ll find the clarity you’re seeking.

It’s an exciting week as innovative Uranus changes signs. Call 1900 959 005.

CAPRICORN DEC 22 - JAN 20

The weekend brings the Dark of the Moon in the sector of the sky which, for you, governs risk-taking. I’m not sharing this information to encourage you to buy lottery tickets, though. No, there’s a far more satisfying way for you to take advantage of this celestial opportunity, which will bring you a much greater chance of success. As Mercury links with Mars in your sign before converging with Uranus, you have the power to accept a subtle request which can create a monumental change.

GEMINI MAY 22 - JUN 22

People who are thirsty can’t stop dreaming about gallons of deliciously chilled water. People who are hungry fantasise about feasts of food. If you’re overly hot, you want freezing airconditioning, but when you’re too cold, you dream of a raging fire. Most of the time, our needs are more modest. Indulgence is fuelled by extreme desire. As Mercury conjuncts Uranus and changes signs, it feels as if the way to make a situation bearable is by instigating a big change. You can find a simpler solution. Powerful changes are possible as Uranus moves signs. Call 1900 959 005.

LIBRA SEP 24 - OCT 23

Making a dove appear from a scarf? Well, that’s easy-peasy once you know the technique. It takes dexterous fingers, the right kind of scarf, the right kind of dove and the right kind of distraction at just the right moment. Everything’s easy when you know how to do it. The trick, is to discover the information you need. As Mercury and Uranus link, a revelatory moment reveals an undiscovered option. Don’t give up if you can’t see what to do. That’s your dove moment. You can easily find out. Powerful changes are possible as Uranus moves signs. Call 1900 959 005.

AQUARIUS JAN 21 - FEB 19

I’ve got a little puzzle for you to solve before the weekend starts. Is it more important to be proved right or to be admired? Of course, the answer doesn’t have to be one or the other! You can be both! You feel as if you’re duty bound to tell someone something they might not want to hear. Yet, as your ruler links with Mercury and Mars this weekend, the news is not as straightforward as you suspect. It contains a hidden spark of hope which, when gently nurtured, will turn into an appealing bright idea. Powerful changes are possible as Uranus moves signs. Call 1900 959 005.

CANCER JUN 23 - JUL 23

The approaching New Moon, in trine with Pluto, is making you aware of your vulnerability. You feel as if you’re lacking support and understanding vis-à-vis an important relationship. You’d appreciate someone telling you that they agree with your analysis of the situation. It’s hard going when you feel as if you’re on your own dealing with so much emotion. As Mercury conjuncts Uranus and changes signs this weekend, you’ll have the energy to stand up for something. Most importantly, you won’t do so alone. It’s an exciting week as innovative Uranus changes signs. Call 1900 959 005.

SCORPIO OCT 24 - NOV 22

You know the strange feeling you get when you have an overwhelming desire to do something? It can be a fleeting impulsive need to eat something different for breakfast or a major change in your lifestyle that suddenly seems vital to your wellbeing and future. These moments are both hard to explain and precious. They offer a chance to leave a humdrum routine behind and take a look at the world from a different perspective. As Mercury links to Uranus this weekend, you can ring in an important change. It’s an exciting week as innovative Uranus changes signs. Call 1900 959 005.

PISCES FEB 20 - MAR 20

Even though they say that money talks, no one seems to have heard it say anything worthwhile. The highest rewards that life bestows aren’t associated with financial gains. It’s easy to feel as if our primary focus needs to be on paying our way towards security. But, since security is an illusion, it’s far better to find a balance between adequate living and the freedom to enjoy life’s delights. This weekend, as Mercury links with Uranus, you’ll be much happier if you do what you really want to do. It’s an exciting week as innovative Uranus changes signs. Call 1900 959 005.
