YOUR STARS

Dear Oscar, I’m a priest – not usually someone you would expect to be interested in astrology. But over the years your horoscopes have fitted nicely with my life. In The Bible, the energies you deal with are called ‘exousia’. Jesus was hailed as the Lord of all the ‘exousia’ that exist. Marc Dear Marc, Thank you for your fascinating letter. With Mercury turning direct in Neptune’s embrace, there will be other soulful revelations arising… for us all to experience. Yours Oscar

ARIES MAR 21 - APR 20

They say ‘if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it’ but some things aren’t worth fixing even if they are broken. Nothing is made to last these days. Someone who works in the trade told me that almost all white goods are expected to break when they’re around three years old! In our throwaway society, we just replace anything that’s not functioning perfectly. Yet sometimes, it just takes a tweak and a little TLC to give something a new lease of life. Don’t miss a chance to repair something precious today. It’s an exciting week as cosmic connections peak. For valuable news, call 1900 959 005.

LEO JUL 24 - AUG 23

You possess a deep sense of duty. Even though you’re proudly independent, and do a good job of pretending not to care what other people think, your loyalties are powerful. As Mercury prepares to change direction, you’re becoming more aware of a promise you’ve made which is proving hard to keep. Interestingly, it has more meaning for you than for the person you made your commitment to. The message is clear. If you’re feeling restricted by self-imposed boundaries, you also hold the key to freedom. It’s an exciting week as cosmic connections peak. For valuable news, call 1900 959 005.

SAGITTARIUS NOV 23 - DEC 21

How do you know that you friends are really your friends? Or that your enemies are really your enemies? Can friends actually be enemies in disguise? Is it possible that your ‘enemies’ secretly wish you well? We’re all meant to be able to tell the difference, yet there are times when even the most astute can’t quite tell who’s who. That’s a good thing - it means that our minds and hearts are open to change. Keep your options open. As Mercury prepares to turn direct, you never know what you might discover. It’s an exciting week as cosmic connections peak. For valuable news, call 1900 959 005.

TAURUS APR 21 - MAY 21

Some folk choose to drink water that comes from remote mountain streams. Other people are happy to quench their thirst drinking it straight from the tap. Can anyone really tell the difference? Well, the people who invest in the expensive stuff presumably think they can. But such distinctions are subjective. Sometimes, things taste better because we think that they ‘should’ and are most unhappy if anyone tries to tell us otherwise. Make sure that you’re backing a plan you really believe in today. In a week of exciting cosmic activity you can change your life. Call 1900 959 005.

VIRGO AUG 24 - SEP 23

It’s possible, in moments of brilliance to come up with an inspiring vision. We can change the direction that the ship of our life is sailing in, and set forth towards a bright new destination. Sometimes, though, we get carried away and put all our energy into a ghastly idea. We seize upon a ridiculous notion and are diverted away from a course that was heading (albeit slowly) towards something worthwhile. Your ruler’s change of direction, and link with Neptune will give you the clarity to re-evaluate. In a week of exciting cosmic activity you can change your life. Call 1900 959 005.

CAPRICORN DEC 22 - JAN 20

The great George Bernard Shaw wrote that he never resisted temptation because he found that things that were bad for him didn’t tempt him. ‘Yeah, right’, I can almost hear you thinking. Yet he also said that ‘virtue is insufficient temptation’. Take from that what you like! All I can tell you is that as Venus changes signs, and Mercury prepares to turn direct, there is a clear message to you. You can find a way to greet a challenging temptation with cool, calm conviction - and detach yourself from it. In a week of exciting cosmic activity you can change your life. Call 1900 959 005.

GEMINI MAY 22 - JUN 22

Our tone is far more important than we realise. When we convey thoughts with sincerity and conviction, people pay attention. It’s when we’re able to approach challenges with warmth and enthusiasm that we inspire confidence and allow others to relax. As your ruler prepares to turn direct and link with Neptune, it invests you with the authority and self-possession to succeed at an upcoming event. Rather than worrying about the precise words you need to use, let your attitude do all the talking for you. It’s an exciting week as cosmic connections peak. For valuable news, call 1900 959 005.

LIBRA SEP 24 - OCT 23

No one is going to force you to do the right thing. You can do the ‘wrong’ one, if you want to. Of course, there will be consequences. But these need to be carefully weighed up against the challenge of doing what feels ‘right’. Yet, that’s easier said than done! Suppose you make the easy mistake of thinking that what’s ‘right’ is ‘wrong’ and vice versa? As Mercury prepares to move forwards, and links to Neptune, logic isn’t going to help. It’s by following your heart that you’ll make the ‘right’ decision. It’s an exciting week as cosmic connections peak. For valuable news, call 1900 959 005.

AQUARIUS JAN 21 - FEB 19

Can you think of anything more ridiculous than entering a lottery draw when the chance of winning anything (let alone a significant prize) is minuscule? I can! Entering and then forgetting to check to see if you’ve won! Apparently there are countless unclaimed prizes every week. It’s better to be foolishly optimistic than foolishly pessimistic. It’s worth taking a moment today and checking whether a moment of wild hopefulness has achieved anything. Something is working out better than you thought. It’s an exciting week as cosmic connections peak. For valuable news, call 1900 959 005.

CANCER JUN 23 - JUL 23

In this ever-changing universe, it’s no wonder we like to establish routines that we hope will stay the same. We crave the security of knowing what’s expected of us - and the comfort of knowing that our lives won’t dramatically change. So we create rituals we adhere to. Yet these go beyond our favourite ‘go to’ breakfast cereal; we form opinions and beliefs that we hold on to with conviction and, sometimes, a touch of desperation. Could you be entrenched in a position or attitude that’s no longer viable? In a week of exciting cosmic activity you can change your life. Call 1900 959 005.

SCORPIO OCT 24 - NOV 22

You’re adept at adapting to circumstances that are less than ideal. You’ve developed an array of techniques, which enable you to cope with difficult scenarios, so that you feel as ‘at ease’ as possible in awkward conditions. Yet, it would be erroneous to assume that you’re okay in such circumstances. There’s nothing like the feeling of being able to effect a change in a long-standing unsatisfactory situation. As Mercury prepares to turn direct, it brings the chance to make a courageous difference. In a week of exciting cosmic activity you can change your life. Call 1900 959 005.

PISCES FEB 20 - MAR 20

Today will change your life. Nothing will ever be the same again. But that news doesn’t need to unsettle you. In many ways, the big change has already happened. It has been evolving gradually. Now as Venus enters your sign, it brings a clear signal that a long-term project has almost been completed. It’s less that something new is about to occur and more that something old is coming to an end. And that shouldn’t be scary. The outcome of this process of transformation can only be positive. In a week of exciting cosmic activity you can change your life. Call 1900 959 005.
