YOUR STARS

They say that knowledge is power and that the pen is mightier than the sword. But when things go bump in the night, I’d prefer to be cowering with a rolling pin rather than my pencil case! In reality, knowing that the ‘bump’ was made by Mr Tibbles (the cat), knocking over the butter dish, quells my nerves far more effectively than carrying an implement in case of a face-to-face meeting with a real cat burglar! Whatever seems scary now will be less so, once properly investigated.

ARIES MAR 21 - APR 20

One way of spotting someone who is feeling vulnerable and uncertain is to watch them barking out orders and assertively taking control. People who have real inner strength have no desire, or need, to make such obvious use of their power. On the other hand, it takes a lot of courage and strength to admit to a weakness. Only the bravest among us confess to our most deeply hidden fears. The Full Moon’s legacy encourages you to speak from your heart rather than hide your true feelings. The Full Moon brings transformation. For spookily accurate news call 1900 959 005.

LEO JUL 24 - AUG 23

When we feel as if we’re being criticised, or under threat, we tend to retreat to a more distant place. Whether this is emotionally or physically, we detach ourselves from the cause of our distress. If we have no choice but to deal with the cause of tension and the factors that make us tense, we do our best to be brisk and professional. This is a good method to adopt, most of the time. But the recent Full Moon indicates that you have marked someone down as a rival when in fact they’re offering support. Look once more. Big changes are due between now and the next Full Moon. Call 1900 959 005.

SAGITTARIUS NOV 23 - DEC 21

Surely there’s room on this spinning ball of rock for people of all different persuasions to live with each other in a harmonious fashion? There must be a way that encourages acceptance, respect and co-operation? It sounds good in theory doesn’t it? Yet the truth seems to be that people hold on to resentments, nurture prejudices and distrust one another. To facilitate a peaceful resolution to a stressful problem in your world now, you and the other person involved both need to seek common ground. Don’t miss your in-depth personal moon-sign forecast. Call 1900 959 005.

TAURUS APR 21 - MAY 21

Despite some of the greatest intellects devoting their lives to science, we still don’t know much about the nature of time. Is it a straight road? Or is it a meandering, circuitous route? What we do know is that our existence is about much more than getting from A to B. The journey is critical – it’s what life is all about. The unlikely, unimaginable situation that you find yourself in is not just a diversion. You’re being taken towards a significant and exciting new destination. Keep going and keep trusting. Big changes are due between now and the next Full Moon. Call 1900 959 005.

VIRGO AUG 24 - SEP 23

The poet Khalil Gibran wrote that ‘art is a step from what is obvious and well-known and toward what is arcane and concealed’. But that doesn’t mean there isn’t great power and beauty when we reveal things that are hidden. The process relies on the same charged, frustrating and dangerous ‘inbetweenness’ from which art derives so much of its power. The coming days bring you an opportunity to decide what should, for the time being, remain behind closed doors. Something else can see the sun. Don’t miss your in-depth personal moon-sign forecast.

CAPRICORN DEC 22 - JAN 20

Are you staring into the abyss? Teetering on the edge of a precipice? Clinging, by your fingertips, to a cliff face that’s threatening to crumble? Is this the final straw? Have you reached the point of no return? If you’re screaming, ‘Yes’ at any of these, then well done. Because that can only mean that you’re due an imminent and significant change. What would happen if you simply let go? Will everything collapse around you? Of course not! Everything is going to be absolutely fine. The Full Moon brings transformation. For spookily accurate news call 1900 959 005.

GEMINI MAY 22 - JUN 22

We’re familiar with the story of the hare who challenged the tortoise to a race. We also know who won. There was never really a contest. But, in order to preserve his dignity, the tortoise made up a tale in which the hare was so distracted by events that the tortoise was able to overtake him and win! No one can pull the wool over your eyes today! Anyone with a nonsensical tale should stay well out of your way. As your ruler prepares to move into your sign, you’re fast enough to run rings around us all. Don’t miss your in-depth personal moonsign forecast. Call 1900 959 005.

LIBRA SEP 24 - OCT 23

The wonderful Motown sound was exemplified by the Temptations. They hit the top spot in 1965 with My Girl and went on to create some of the best loved songs of the era. Their name turned out to be very appropriate; they went through many different band members and dramas. With so much going on in your life it wouldn’t be surprising if you felt tempted to run away from the mayhem. Yet the energy is changing. The rhythm of your life is about to get much easier to move to. The Full Moon brings transformation. For spookily accurate news call 1900 959 005.

AQUARIUS JAN 21 - FEB 19

Even though we know that alcohol is a poison that creates havoc with our liver, at least (albeit briefly) it overrides social anxieties and helps us let our hair down. Resentment, on the other hand, is a more subtle poison. Even the tiniest amount of it has the power to damage our approach to life and creates havoc with our judgment. There’s a chance that you’re starting to resent a situation that you feel powerless to change. To find the antidote, all you have to do is accept what’s happening. Big changes are due between now and the next Full Moon. Call 1900 959 005.

CANCER JUN 23 - JUL 23

How do we know when something is ‘meant to be’? Try giving it up. Passing it along. Letting it follow its own path. If it’s destined it for you, then it will come back of its own accord. If it doesn’t? Then you’ve lost nothing through your bravery. Of course, this is all well and good in theory. In practice, it can lead to some confusing attempts to force something (or someone) to leave just so it can return again. Ultimately, our inauthentic gestures are never rewarded. Heartfelt, genuine ones, though … that’s another story. The Full Moon brings transformation. For spookily accurate news call 1900 959 005.

OCT 24 - NOV 22

If you’ve ever run out of fuel on a motorway, you know that there are few worse places to break down. It’s noisy, it’s smelly, dangerous and unpleasant. But then again, when we just want to get somewhere fast, we don’t choose our route because of its scenery; it’s the destination we’re interested in. As Mercury prepares to change signs it’s worth considering before you make a decision, and making sure that you’re looking at it from the right perspective. A dull process can yield rich results. Big changes are due between now and the next Full Moon. Call 1900 959 005.

PISCES FEB 20 - MAR 20

The easiest thing to cook up in the world is … drama. No skill is required. You just add negativity to negativity and … Bang! The measurements don’t even matter. The temperature is irrelevant. Stress, upset, and strife will result no matter which order you combine your ingredients. That is, unless you work hard to keep each reactive component in its own separate space. This week, try to keep your fears apart. It’s only when adding one to the other that things seem to spiral out of control. Don’t miss your in-depth personal moon-sign forecast. Call 1900 959 005.
