YOUR STARS

There seems to be a prevailing mantra among politicians of ‘never apologise, never explain’. What lonely lives they must lead! Of course, it’s much easier to get things done when you have this kind of mentality. And it’s obviously important for them to be left to their own devices and trusted to get on with the job of making rods for their own backs! The rest of us, though, might benefit from checking that our good intentions have not been misinterpreted. Time taken to relate to one another won’t be wasted now.

ARIES MAR 21 - APR 20

When a country decides to go to war, first of all, it must convince its people and gain their support. This is usually achieved by the demonisation of a national trait or an important character; there needs to be a sense of escalating threat. Once that process has begun, those in power can sit back, feed the propaganda and watch public fervour rise until the people demand action. In your emotional world, you’ve already made a decision. Your mind has finally caught up. It’s time to do something. Anxious? Call to hear your in-depth, four-minute forecast: 1900 959 005.

LEO JUL 24 - AUG 23

The part of the hero doesn’t always take courage and principle, fire and fortitude, resolve and vitality. In fact, the most commendable, extraordinary acts of all are often those which have involved great self-sacrifice. These are made with humility; they’re unseen, so that no-one even knows who to be grateful towards. They often seem to involve overcoming a more basic set of feelings and acting from our wiser, less dramatic and more altruistic selves. You can choose to do something wonderful today. Anxious?

SAGITTARIUS NOV 23 - DEC 21

Can you take on the impossible? Silly question! Of course you can! Where other folk turn away from a daunting challenge, you keep heading towards it. You know how to deal with difficult things and your quiet determination ensures that you’re good at it. As long, that is, as you don’t have to sit around waiting for things to happen. You’re not so good at that bit! So, that’s why the current challenge is proving frustratingly tough to deal with. Someone else holds the power. Be patient. Change is in the air. Anxious?

TAURUS APR 21 - MAY 21

Are you doing what you’re ‘supposed’ to do? Have you ticked the right boxes? Pleased the right people? We’re all sometimes guilty of doing what we think others want - or expect - us to do. Crowd mentality kicks in. We forget to worry about what we want, and try hard to fit in with those around us. The quirks of our individuality come to be seen as a liability - something to be picked on and criticised. Whatever you do today, don’t apologise for being you. Your individuality is an extraordinary strength. Confused? Call to hear your in-depth, fourminute forecast: 1900 959 005.

VIRGO AUG 24 - SEP 23

If someone were to offer you the easy way out of a situation, you’d be tempted to take it. But it seems that you’re going to have to stand firm, nail your colours to the mast, face the music, take the stick, put your head above the parapet … you get the picture. Actually, though, the act of doing this won’t be anywhere near as ghastly as you think and you’ll discover, to your delight, that you’ve overcome a problem, scored a victory, conquered a fear, triumphed over an enemy… you get the picture!

CAPRICORN DEC 22 - JAN 20

Have you ever considered that you’re never truly alone? I’m not talking about being connected to your family or friends - I mean the voice in your head that accompanies you and comments on how well you’re doing? This is your ‘inner critic’. It tends to be on hand to remind you that you’re not good enough, or that you’re doing things wrong. It needs to be evicted today. Have faith in your own capabilities and your value. The one thing that you most certainly do not need, right now, is doubt. Confused? Call to hear your in-depth, four-minute forecast: 1900 959 005.

GEMINI MAY 22 - JUN 22

It doesn’t matter how many intelligent questions you ask, you’re never going to receive the perfect answer. Some things can’t be taught; they can only be learned through experience. And, of course, some things just aren’t worth experiencing. This week, as the germ of an idea begins to grow, try to overcome your reserve and curb your eagerness. With your ruler retrograde, you’ll make more significant progress if you begin by conducting a tentative assessment before jumping into anything. Uncertain?

LIBRA SEP 24 - OCT 23

Sorry, you need a permit to go right. You can’t go left either – road works are currently in progress. No, there’s no space to turn around - the road’s too congested. So, straight on, you assume? I wish that were an option. Unfortunately, there’s a new regulation to stop that. So, what ARE your options? I wish I could tell you, but… another rule forbids that as well! Do you ever feel that, no matter what you try, you can’t shake a persistent problem? A new discovery will soon illuminate the way ahead. Uncertain?

AQUARIUS JAN 21 - FEB 19

You’ve had a great deal to cope with, and it’s not going to get any less this week. But there’s a good chance that you’re going to find it easier to do what you’ve got to do. Your problems will be more easily solved than you think. All you need to do is to devote enough of your energy to the tasks in hand. Then, that feeling of being overwhelmed will dissipate and you’ll be able to move ahead in a relaxed way. You have the cosmic gift of Venus in your sign. That means there’s a chance of financial improvements too. Uncertain? Call to hear your in-depth, four-minute forecast: 1900 959 005.

CANCER JUN 23 - JUL 23

I can’t believe you forgot. You totally promised you’d be there. I was relying on you. I just can’t believe you could do this to me. There. I’ve got you feeling bad, now, haven’t I? You can’t bear being told that you’ve disappointed someone. The merest suggestion is galling. But I’m only doing so to alert you to your current fragility. Were someone unsavoury to pull on your heartstrings, hoping to manipulate you to their own ends, then you might have a problem. Don’t leave yourself open to attack today. Worried?

OCT 24 - NOV 22

The most revealing conversations are often those held with total strangers. The anonymity allows us to get closer to the issues we’d normally bury or shy away from. Were you to have such a conversation today, you’d probably be forced to admit that the anxiety caused by an irrelevant issue has led you to overlook something that, in reality, is much more important. They’d probably admit the same. Whether such an interaction takes place or not, try not to take your anxieties so seriously. Worried? Call to hear your in-depth, four-minute forecast: 1900 959 005.

PISCES FEB 20 - MAR 20

People who place adverts are very picky about where their product name and image appears. Which is a good thing; imagine how you’d feel if you were watching a program about healthy food options and the adverts were from a corporate burger chain? Mixed messages make us feel uncomfortable. As Mercury deepens into its retrograde movement in your sign, there’s a chance that someone in your world is disguising a truth they’d rather you didn’t notice. Look behind what’s being said today.
