YOUR STARS

The Leo New Moon isn’t the only shadow worth considering. Tonight, as the Moon and Sun converge, Mercury emerges from the shadow of its backwards journey through the skies. Now that it’s finally travelling in new territory, it’s time to look at answering tomorrow’s questions, rather than sorting out yesterday’s trouble. This spark of innovative energy arrives just in time to make the most of the New Moon’s creativity, and ensures that any seeds we plant have a chance to blossom dramatically.

ARIES MAR 21 - APR 20

It’s all starting to feel a bit overwhelming. You’re feeling a desperate need to do something that appears to be beyond the realms of possibility. It’s as if you’ve got to fit a square peg into a round hole whilst taking a strong stance on why the chicken decided to cross the road, while simultaneously spinning too many plates. It’s just so much pressure to be under. Yet, as Mercury begins to move forwards again, energised by the New Moon, doing your best will carry you to where you need to be. A powerful New Moon marks the start of an exciting month. Call 1900 959 005.

LEO JUL 24 - AUG 23

As the story of King Canute tells us, no one is able to turn the tide. It’s not even worth spending time thinking about doing it. But that doesn’t mean to say that a tide won’t turn of its own accord when it’s ready to do so. It will. Actually, it must. And, although it’s impossible to force a change of direction, it is wise to anticipate one happening. You’ve been biding your time, waiting for a change to happen and a new era to begin. The New Moon in Leo is a sign that a fresh start is possible. August begins and ends with a New Moon. Create the change you desire. Call 1900 959 005.

SAGITTARIUS NOV 23 - DEC 21

These words have been permeated with a subtle fragrance which is already on its way into your physical body. As you continue to read, you’ll find that you’re helpless, and susceptible to doing whatever I ask you to do. Don’t panic! It’s not that effective! Of course, no one can put you under their spell so easily. Today, under the light of the New Moon, take a look at a relationship which seems to have bewitched you. It’s worth stepping back and checking that this is how you really want it to be. A new month! A powerful New Moon! For good news, call 1900 959 005.

TAURUS APR 21 - MAY 21

The chance to pursue a long-standing plan remains open before you, but you no longer have much inclination for it. Your perspective and your priorities have shifted. You’re no longer nourished by the same dream and have experienced a dramatic about-turn that contradicts your earlier stance. The New Moon highlights the choice lying before you. You can dawdle, scuff your heels and allow the moment to pass you by, blaming fate and fortune. Or, you can seize an opportunity by the horns. Go for it! August begins and ends with a New Moon. Create the change you desire. Call 1900 959 005.

VIRGO AUG 24 - SEP 23

People say that my forecasts aren’t always easy to understand. ‘Can’t you be a little clearer’, they ask. Of course, I could… but I’m honouring a long-held esoteric tradition that invites you to read between the words. Somehow, in that mysterious space between the text and understanding, comes knowledge. Yet, my forecasts are always rooted in a clear message that can never be twisted out of context. Read between the lines of your life today and you’ll find the answer you need.

A new month! A powerful New Moon! For good news, call 1900 959 005.

CAPRICORN DEC 22 - JAN 20

A film can be years in the making. Even a simple shot can take weeks to film. Cast members can drop out, directors can storm off. A story, on the other hand, is easier to construct. A couple of phrases woven together with a touch of magic create an evocative image. Many people can read the same words but no one will experience the same feeling. For the same reason, communicating the details of our ideas and dreams often misses the mark. Someone needs to see a little more than the final picture, today. A powerful New Moon marks the start of an exciting month. Call 1900 959 005.

GEMINI MAY 22 - JUN 22

We’re not supposed to spend all our time struggling and suffering. Life isn’t meant to be filled with stress and strain. When we were in spirit form, before arriving on planet Earth, there must have been a time when we decided we wanted to experience an earthly adventure. We made that decision because we absolutely knew that life holds the potential for wonder, joy and love. As Mercury, your ruler, turns direct, a development in your life is about to show you that you made the right choice. A new month! A powerful New Moon! For good news, call 1900 959 005.

LIBRA SEP 24 - OCT 23

The connection between our mouths and our brains is complicated by a series of safety nets and filters. Well, that’s how it usually seems to be. But in truth, it would probably be better if those psychological protection devices were less efficient and we spoke more honestly about how we feel. The problem, is that one minute we think one thing and the next… well, you know how easy it is to change your mind. Now that Mercury is direct once more, it will be easier to say the right thing than you think. A powerful New Moon marks the start of an exciting month. Call 1900 959 005.

AQUARIUS JAN 21 - FEB 19

Is there any point? Is there any meaning or purpose? These are the kind of questions we’re better off asking occasionally rather than every day. Your critical abilities are being highlighted by the New Moon. You’re naturally skilled at finding the problems in other people’s plans – and suggesting ways that they can improve them. Your innovative mind means that you can play devil’s advocate too. Today, though, it’s advisable to go along with whatever’s happening. Take a break from your doubts for now. August begins and ends with a New Moon. Create the change you desire. Call 1900 959 005.

CANCER JUN 23 - JUL 23

When you look around you can’t help but notice that some people seem to be living easier lives than you. Why’s that? Because they don’t have your high aspirations. They have settled for less. What they consider to be satisfactory, falls short of your dreams. They’re just not made of the same stuff as you. Does that make you vulnerable to disappointment? Yes it does. But it also guarantees that your life is rich. You’re able to rise gloriously to any challenges – as you will do today.

A powerful New Moon marks the start of an exciting month. Call 1900 959 005.

SCORPIO OCT 24 - NOV 22

Giving advice makes us feel good about ourselves. We feel generous, wise and kind. But, most of all, it makes us feel powerful. The problems start when the quality of advice is irrelevant compared to our sense of self-satisfaction; when, despite what we tell ourselves, we care less about whether our advice improves anyone’s life and more about enjoying imparting our wisdom. So, to that advice you were asking for... under the light of the New Moon, trust your own intuition today. August begins and ends with a New Moon. Create the change you desire. Call 1900 959 005.

PISCES FEB 20 - MAR 20

Every now and then, someone says precisely what everyone else was thinking but was too polite to say. Immediately, everyone panics. Silence reigns and eye contact is avoided. Then, everyone mutually - and silently - agrees to act as though it never happened. But should truth ever be confined to its ‘proper’ and ‘polite’ place? There’s too much injustice in this world to justify silence. You have the chance to face an uncomfortable truth or bury your head in the sand. Make the right choice. A new month! A powerful New Moon! For good news, call 1900 959 005.
