YOUR STARS

Pluto, the planet of secrets, intense power, hidden control and precious insight is slowing to a stop. It’s beginning a time of near motionlessness, as the backward movement it began in April finally draws to a close. Just like a sleepwalker awakening, as Pluto ‘comes round’ there might be some difficult or strange sensations as it takes time to recognise its surroundings. But this brings a profound moment of realisation too. The regenerative effect it has on our world brings transformation. Teletopia. Max call cost $1.32 per minute, including GST.

ARIES MAR 21 - APR 20

It’s hard to be aware of how much energy you invest in maintaining all the different aspects of your life. Pressures and demands pile on top of us. It’s not until we take our attention away that we notice how much we’re carrying. Then, either things miraculously carry on by themselves, or the tower starts to crumble. Yet you can’t relax under a roof when you’re the only person making the effort to hold the walls in place. This weekend, as the Sun and Jupiter link, you can put down something you’ve been carrying. Inspiring times await you in October. Call your NEW forecast: 1900 959 005.

TAURUS APR 21 - MAY 21

You can try as hard as you like, but some ideas are doomed to failure. Others will just about work, while some will succeed only if you try extremely hard to make them work. Yet, how are you supposed to know which ones are worth investing in? Far be it from me to recommend that you spend the weekend banging your head against a brick wall, but (as long as you’re wearing metaphorically protective headgear) there’s a chance that, if you persevere, you’ll succeed. Don’t give up. Be ready for the magic on offer to you in October. Call 1900 959 005.

GEMINI MAY 22 - JUN 22

History reveals that even great generals like Napoleon had to wrestle with choices over where to concentrate their armies. When you’re fighting on several fronts, you need to know where to focus your energy and where to position your resources. Events this weekend will place you in a powerful position from which you can achieve a long-cherished dream. You just need to check that you have the equipment you need and that you’re not leaving another area of your life in a vulnerable state. October brings a rare cosmic opportunity for change. Call 1900 959 005.

CANCER JUN 23 - JUL 23

Although you may be feeling as if you’re destined to carry on struggling with a complex problem, you’re not facing this situation by yourself. Help is closer than you think. Over the weekend, you can expect to receive offers of aid and support. The only problem that looks likely to raise its head is that everyone involved brings their own opinions. Yet, even if you’re not in full agreement with someone’s point of view, a dynamic of co-operation will be much more effective than continuing alone. Don’t miss your inspiring in-depth forecast for October. Call 1900 959 005

LEO JUL 24 - AUG 23

When you’re passionate about something and the underlying desire has an honourable objective, it’s a wonderful feeling. But, when the objective is dubious, passion can be accompanied by an element of danger. With an approaching link between your ruler and Jupiter, you’re empowered with enthusiasm. The only person who knows if you’re heading towards something worthwhile, or running away from something problematic, is you. Be honest with yourself this weekend. Your in-depth forecast for October is ready. Call 1900 959 005.

VIRGO AUG 24 - SEP 23

On the surface, nothing seems to have changed. Everything seems much as it was. Yet, at least one key area of your life has seen a significant shift. You’ve moved forwards … and you’re about to make even greater progress. Over this weekend, that’s all you need to remember. It would be easy to think that you’re still going over the same old ground. Yet you’ve made steady progress through some tricky terrain. Once you’re out of the woods, you’ll move like the wind. A new phase is beginning. Discover why October has so many opportunities. Call 1900 959 005.

LIBRA SEP 24 - OCT 23

Some folk are unaware of peoples’ behaviour. They hardly notice when they’re treated with a lack of respect, and seem to be immune to rudeness. You, on the other hand, take such actions personally. You’re such a sensitive soul that you can almost remember all the moments when you’ve been emotionally hurt. You can forgive … but you can’t forget. Of course, there’s wisdom in remembering – no one wants to repeat a mistake. Yet this weekend, someone deserves the benefit of the doubt. There is inspiring news in your indepth October forecast. Call 1900 959 005.

SCORPIO OCT 24 - NOV 22

If you want to bring about social change, you can either inspire it, or legislate for it. The second of these is most common. That’s why people campaign for changes in the law and seek to uphold democratic rights. Yet, even when laws have been agreed, they can be hard to implement. They need public support to be successful. If, though, we’re inspired about a new way of doing things, behaviour seems to change naturally and easily. You can encourage the change you want to see this weekend. Your in-depth forecast for the whole of October can really help. Call 1900 959 005.

SAGITTARIUS NOV 23 - DEC 21

Even if we think we’re honest, we only tell the pieces of truth that we want other people to know. Or, perhaps it’s that we only share the parts we can cope with. We tend to deny anything that might hurt or threaten our sense of self-worth. Truth, however, is a powerful entity which won’t be suppressed. It waits for an opportunity and then returns to disturb the people who won’t recognise it. Although you can’t protect someone from a difficult truth, you can help them see that it’s nothing to be scared of. October is a powerful month for you. Find out more. Call 1900 959 005.

CAPRICORN DEC 22 - JAN 20

It’s essential to be able to disagree. Life would be unimaginably bland if everyone wanted the same thing and never raised a dissenting voice. Yet arguments need to be held in a spirit of respect. When people lose their sense of decorum, the world becomes a more dangerous place. Rather surprisingly, it’s often among folk who hold similar views that the most aggressive arguments arise. This weekend, try to focus on the things you have in common with someone rather than the differences. In October, the power of the planets can change your life. Call 1900 959 005.

AQUARIUS JAN 21 - FEB 19

We often have hidden ulterior motives which drive us to do things. Sometimes we’re not even sure how these are affecting our reactions. So, this weekend, if you see someone who seems to be acting unkindly or unwisely, ask them why they’re doing what they’re doing. We all benefit from regular checks on the reasons behind our behaviour. And we’re all capable of overreacting in seemingly insignificant situations. If you ask the right questions, in the right way, you can make a positive difference. October brings great potential for change. Call 1900 959 005.

PISCES FEB 20 - MAR 20

Have you noticed how inventive we can be, when we don’t want to do something? Usually, we begin our excuses with reasons that we hope will extract sympathy and understanding. Our real objections are hidden beneath a veneer. Only when the initial line of defence has failed do we begin to confront the truth – which is usually based on fear or uncertainty. This weekend, if you can find the confidence to explain your true feelings, you can help to create a communication breakthrough. Four minutes on the phone can make October special. Call 1900 959 005.
