YOUR STARS

As Saturn finally turns direct today, it begins to form a Grand Trine with Mercury and Uranus. This will help us to think more clearly, plan a little more confidently and prepare for unexpected eventualities. That may sound counter-intuitive - how can we plan for what we can’t foresee? But whilst Saturn’s backwards route through the sky was far from easy, it has made us stronger and more capable. The necessary work to lay foundations for progress has been done. As the New Moon approaches, an exciting leap into the unknown awaits.

ARIES MAR 21 - APR 20

You’re trying to explain something, yet the harder you try, the less someone seems to understand. In fact, their obstinacy is so resolute that you’re beginning to doubt your own facts. Are they intent on getting the wrong end of the stick, or do they have good reason for their questioning? As Mercury, the planet of communication changes signs, try to see this communication challenge as a blessing in disguise. It’s creating the bedrock for a conversation that could be enlightening.

LEO JUL 24 - AUG 23

Think for a moment about someone who irritates you and what it is that you find so annoying. Then, let’s flip the coin and wonder what they think of you? What do they really feel about the way you behave and your opinions? Do you think their appraisal of you is accurate? Do they know enough about you to make an informed decision? No wonder you want to correct their false impression… but they’re equally keen to share their version of events. Good! Here comes a chance for some valuable talking. September brings the Equinox! For your hope-giving month ahead forecast, call 1900 959 005.

SAGITTARIUS NOV 23 - DEC 21

This is a good time for you to listen attentively to a key person in your life who wants to share something important with you. It’s also important for you to pay attention to the voice within your own heart, which will consolidate that message. From where you’re standing, it would be easy to think that you have all the pieces of the puzzle and just need a little more time to fit them together. But you have all the components to make another, more interesting pattern – and the help you need to construct it too. September brings the Equinox!

TAURUS APR 21 - MAY 21

Communication problems arise for a variety of reasons. Some grow from a lack of understanding, while others are a result of a frenetic lifestyle’s effect on our moods. People who are busy dealing with problems don’t have enough time to explain the reasons for their behaviour. Today, as Mercury moves into a new sector of the sky, make some space for the actions of someone close to you. If you give them your support, you’ll help them to slow down, and see the wood from the trees. September brings the Equinox! For your hope-giving month ahead forecast, call 1900 959 005.

VIRGO AUG 24 - SEP 23

With your ruler moving home, into your sign, no wonder you’re feeling on form. You’re enthused with energy and keen to do everything within your power to sort out a problem and then move on to the next challenging scenario. How frustrating then, that you’re faced with people who seem to be stuck in unsatisfactory situations and don’t seem to want to be helped out of them. Yet, if you can bide your time and stay focused, you’ll discover that each minor setback is a valuable stepping stone. September brings the Equinox!

CAPRICORN DEC 22 - JAN 20

They say that when you find a successful formula, you should stick to it. As a Capricorn, this is something you intrinsically understand. Yet, you’re also aware of the downside of following that principle: sometimes the formula can get in the way of progress. Like kids avoiding cracks in the pavement, you’ve been avoiding stepping on something for fear that it will bring bad luck. Now, as your ruler, Saturn, changes direction, you can begin to move freely forward. You have a formula that will bring success. September brings the Equinox!

GEMINI MAY 22 - JUN 22

With so many people trying to give you advice it’s impossible to know who to listen to. Everyone seems confident that they know what to do and, more importantly, what you should be doing. Yet, the art of good communication involves dialogue, and seeking information as well as giving it. It’s about being sensitive rather than being certain. As your ruler changes signs, pay close attention to the person who seems most inclined to listen to what you’re saying. Their advice is worth heeding. September brings the Equinox!

LIBRA SEP 24 - OCT 23

The creators of most science-fiction films and stories use a simple technique which the audience is often unaware of. It involves the assumption that people and beings from other galaxies can understand one another’s language. The power to translate people’s thoughts so that you understand how they operate (and how best to converse with them) is a skill you use every day. So, it will be a relief to know that as Mercury changes signs, any communication problems are about to resolve. September brings the Equinox!

AQUARIUS JAN 21 - FEB 19

You’re starting to doubt yourself. Factors are arising which cast shadows on a decision you’ve made. Mercury’s change of signs brings a reminder that the search for perfection is never going to come up trumps. You’ve set yourself an impossibly high standard and have fallen into the mistake of berating yourself for not having lived up to your expectations. Yet the difficulty you face represents another step on your path. As Saturn turns direct you’ll realise that you know just what you need to do. September brings the Equinox!

CANCER JUN 23 - JUL 23

It’s almost impossible not to be carried away by the illusion that life is supposed to be the way we see it in films and on TV. So, it’s no wonder that we sometimes feel inadequate. That’s why we create our own personal movies in our minds and convince ourselves that we love what we’re doing. The problem, is that we can lose sight of what would really make us happy. It’s worth running a simple reality check now. Don’t lose sight of what you want to do, because it might just be possible to do it. September brings the Equinox!

OCT 24 - NOV 22

Even the most expensive noise-cancelling headphones can’t cut out the noise our minds make as they churn over old memories, bring into focus facts that we’d rather not face and ask questions to which we’d rather not find answers. Since everyone lives with so much background noise, it’s no wonder we often prefer to talk about the weather! Yet, as Mercury changes signs today, it opens a channel of communication so that something important can be discussed. It’s very good timing. September brings the Equinox!

PISCES FEB 20 - MAR 20

‘The truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth’. Although it’s unlikely you’ve ever said these words, you know them from US dramas. Yet truth is relative. Even if you and I attend the same event, my version of what happens is going to be different to yours. We get closest to truth when we honestly share our experiences. As long as you put the information you’re receiving in context, by generously listening to all sides, you can help resolve a situation where truth and fantasy have been confused.
