Hi Oscar, I thought we’d entered the Age of Aquarius, but so far this century seems anything but what we’d been told to expect. What’s happening? John

Hi John, Experts disagree on whether the Age of Aquarius has begun, is about to begin or won’t start for hundreds of years! But regardless, we can’t expect instant utopia. Though the world remains divided, and real challenges lie ahead, we can be proud of how far we’ve come. We’re a young species: our baby steps are headed in the right direction. Oscar

ARIES MAR 21 - APR 20

We all have times when we’d appreciate some divine intervention. Even though the great creative force of the cosmos must have a lot on its plate, just think about the great advice they’d be able to give. Their hints and tips would add valuable insight that would make all the difference to a decision you have to make. As Uranus makes its move into a new celestial home, such advice may well be available to you, it’s just that it’s coming from an unexpected source. Follow your heart today. There’s magic in the air as Uranus, the great change-maker, moves signs. Call 1900 959 005.

TAURUS APR 21 - MAY 21

Do you have the capacity to be magnificent, brilliant and inspirational? What a daft question to ask. Ah … you’re quite right. You didn’t ask at all! How brilliant and inspired of you to notice that. And that’s not all you’re being inspired to notice today. You have the power to turn unsatisfying and even downright undesirable situations into moments of victory. Your inventiveness is your most unique and valuable asset. It’s rivalled only by your knack at calling out questionable statements of ‘fact’. There’s magic in the air as Uranus, the great change-maker, moves signs. Call 1900 959 005.

GEMINI MAY 22 - JUN 22

Editors of newspapers like to have a supply of food, art and film critics on hand. Yet what particular skills do these writers need to have? Surely we’re all capable of finding fault? Of course, there’s more to their trade than meets the eye. They need to not only know what’s wrong, they need to know why the wrongness is different from what other people are doing. It makes you wonder. Although it’s easy to find fault with the way someone is acting, are you really qualified to criticise them today? There’s magic in the air as Uranus, the great change-maker, moves signs. Call 1900 959 005.

CANCER JUN 23 - JUL 23

Why don’t you have celebrity status? Why aren’t members of the paparazzi camped outside waiting to get a shot of you on your way to the shops? Why hasn’t anyone held the front page back to publish the latest gossip about you? If the story of your life was in the public domain, there’d be more than a headline or two. And that’s not taking your future plans into consideration. What’s that? You’d prefer to keep your life stories private? You may not have fame and fortune, but peace of mind is priceless. There’s magic in the air as Uranus, the great change-maker, moves signs. Call 1900 959 005.

LEO JUL 24 - AUG 23

Since you’ve decided that you want something to be different ‘from now onwards’, you need to change something about your ‘now’. That’s the only way to make a difference to the ‘onwards’. If you just put your metaphorical feet up, and wait for something to happen, nothing will change. The other way to create a shift is to re-examine your past. Our memories shape our hopes and dreams. If you can take advantage of the cosmic climate, with its extra helping of innovation, you can forgive something, and move on. There’s magic in the air as Uranus, the great change-maker, moves signs. Call 1900 959 005.

VIRGO AUG 24 - SEP 23

It was Macbeth who described ‘a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing’. It seems today isn’t as different from ancient Scotland as we might like to think! Wherever we turn, there’s drama, arguments and yet more drama. Everyone’s excited about something - and yet that something rarely seems to be important. By all means, if you’re enjoying your current tense exchange, then commit to it; give it your all. If, on the other hand, you’re not, then simply walk away. There’s magic in the air as Uranus, the great change-maker, moves signs. Call 1900 959 005.

LIBRA SEP 24 - OCT 23

People who offer wisdom often advise us to stay away from making short-term plans. They prefer to promote strategies which involve making provision for the potential future consequences of our actions. This, of course, is very sensible advice to follow. Yet, life happens in the here and now. We need to be encouraged to seize each precious moment rather than live for fear of something that might happen in the future. Take advantage of the wonderful opportunity that’s on its way into your world. There’s magic in the air as Uranus, the great change-maker, moves signs. Call 1900 959 005.

SCORPIO OCT 24 - NOV 22

You are many things. But one thing you’re certainly not, is a quitter. When you change your mind, you do so because you’ve reconsidered a scenario and found a more fruitful approach. You’ve recently been on just such a process of revision; and you’ll be ready to change course soon enough. As for the people who may be unconsciously (or not) standing in your way? The truth is that over-sensitivity is no reason to commit to a plan that no longer works. Go ahead gently, just making the changes that need to be made. There’s magic in the air as Uranus, the great change-maker, moves signs. Call 1900 959 005.

SAGITTARIUS NOV 23 - DEC 21

Your reasons for thinking what you feel and feeling what you think are personal and private. You’re under no obligation whatsoever to reveal them to anyone, no matter how hard they might be pressing you for an explanation. When it comes to conversations about your innermost thoughts and emotions, there are no ‘rights’ and ‘wrongs’ either. As Uranus moves into a new sector of the sky, you may find your approach towards someone or something changing. Don’t feel under pressure to explain. There’s magic in the air as Uranus, the great change-maker, moves signs. Call 1900 959 005.

CAPRICORN DEC 22 - JAN 20

The idea of the ‘last judgment’ exists in many different forms around the planet. The idea is that the ‘good’ among us move on to heaven, or a higher plane, while the rest will go to hell. It’s a gallingly black and white system. So, what makes it so enduringly popular? In a world of inescapable injustice, perhaps we need to believe that there’s a process capable of restoring balance and order - that the scores will somehow be evened. Fortunately, you won’t have to wait to get what you so richly deserve. There’s magic in the air as Uranus, the great change-maker, moves signs. Call 1900 959 005.

AQUARIUS JAN 21 - FEB 19

The most important question, as Uranus settles into a new celestial home, is who is going to benefit from this? Will someone else be the one with the wonderful new start? Or are you going to be the beneficiary of this cosmic change? Let’s consider where you’ve invested your power recently. Could there be a chance that you’ve given too much of it away? Have you almost talked yourself out of believing that the future is full of promise and hope? Your outlook is most encouraging. Trust in that. There’s magic in the air as Uranus, the great change-maker, moves signs. Call 1900 959 005.

PISCES FEB 20 - MAR 20

Imagine how rich the person who develops time travel will be. Machines will sell for billions of dollars to anyone curious and wealthy enough to want to learn the secrets of the future or have an exotic holiday in Ancient Greece! Though it might seem a rather exclusive pursuit, the smartest folk will realise that a quick trip to the future, and a fortuitously placed bet will more than cover the cost of the trip! Although, this smart trick won’t work for you, today... a similarly ingenious ploy just might. There’s magic in the air as Uranus, the great changemaker, moves signs. Call 1900 959 005.
