YOUR STARS

They say that a negotiation is successful when both sides get what they want, but neither walks away entirely happy. Perhaps then, we need to remember that what we think we want isn’t always worth the aggro! Mercury is now in Aquarius. It makes a tricky link with Neptune before receiving a wake-up call from Uranus this weekend. This enables us to pierce an enticing illusion and see what’s really important. We can unite behind a common concept that leads to mutual happier progress.

ARIES MAR 21 - APR 20

It sometimes feels as if we’re surrounded by things that we’re not supposed to do, think or say. There are legal and moral restrictions and taboos that we have to abide by. We start to learn about them when we’re young, and as adults, we share them (often without considering why we follow them) with the younger generation. Every once in a while, though, something happens that calls us to question whether the old rules are still relevant. As Mercury changes signs, one of those rules is changing for you. Money? Luck? Want to know what 2020 has in store? Call 1300 017 319. LEO JUL 24 - AUG 23

People often say that the secret to their success lies in the art of being able to foresee potential hurdles, then drawing on a mix of knowledge and experience so that they’re able to implement the necessary manoeuvres and emerge victorious. Okay … so far, so sensible. In reality, though, we can’t micromanage our lives. We’re humans - not machines. And, by expecting ourselves to ‘super-function’ we risk intensifying our stress levels. You can take things one step at a time, this weekend. Wonderful New Year opportunities arise this week! Call 1300 017 319. SAGITTARIUS NOV 23 - DEC 21

When you think about all the libraries in the world, and all the pages on the internet, there are more than enough exciting ideas and innovative theories to keep us busy forever. We can’t possibly need any more! Yet we’re still baffled by simple things. Perhaps we need to do even more research and reading. Or perhaps we need to accept that there are times when words just aren’t enough. You’re best off trusting what’s in your heart this weekend. It will tell you all you need to know. Benefit from the luck and fortune 2020 brings. Call 1300 017 319.

TAURUS APR 21 - MAY 21

Life is full of people who want things from us. Whether they’re openly expressing what they want, or subtly hinting at what they’d like us to do, they make us aware of their needs; and it’s up to us to work out a policy to deal with all this pressure. Depending on our mood and situation, we vary between ignoring, rejecting, succumbing and indulging in these demands. If you need something from someone this weekend, it’s worth thinking about what they might need from you. A healthy exchange is possible.

Have you noticed how many wise quotations you see on a daily basis? From social media, to bumper stickers and T-shirts, there’s no shortage of advice helping us to live well. So, why do our lives often seem to lack a little depth and meaning? Most likely, it’s because the act of reading a few clever words doesn’t make us wise! Although there’s no formula that will sort out a tricky situation this weekend, your ruler’s move into a new sign indicates that innovative new understanding will improve it. Want to know how things can work out well in 2020? Call 1300 017 319. CAPRICORN DEC 22 - JAN 20

The meaning of life is one of those topics that we can discuss forever. What are we doing here and what happens to us when we’re not here any more? These topics are always floating around somewhere in the back of our minds. This weekend, the cosmos brings you a reminder of the fact that life is meant to be lived and your existence is meant to be celebrated. Your heart is yearning to be happy. As long as you focus your attention on what’s good in your life, happiness is guaranteed. The new decade brings a chance to transform your life. Call 1300 017 319.

GEMINI MAY 22 - JUN 22

What divides you and someone else? How wide and deep is the chasm between you? Even though you don’t want to damage the relationship any further, you can’t afford to let a current issue slide. As your ruler, Mercury, changes signs, you can approach this dilemma from a different perspective. If you put your emotions to one side, you’ll be able to see that the cause of your irritation matters less than it did. If you can resist taking action this weekend, the problem will blow over.

What a start to the decade! For more great news, call 1300 017 319. LIBRA SEP 24 - OCT 23

How can you be sure of what you’re sure of? On whose authority are you basing your certitude? I’m not trying to say that every belief you hold needs to be re-examined. There isn’t time for that. Yet, in one particular area of your life, you’ve leapt into action without taking the time to think things through. Is it possible that an existing prejudice has prevented you from checking all the facts? Be better and stronger than that this weekend. Give someone, or something, a fair chance. 2020 holds great potential for you! For an in-depth guide, call 1300 017 319. AQUARIUS JAN 21 - FEB 19

‘So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past’. Thus, the great F. Scott Fitzgerald ended his most famous novel. Yet, swimming against the tide seldom feels as romantic as he makes it sound. It’s tiring and frustrating. At times, it can even be frightening. But a situation that has caused you struggle and hardship is coming to an end. As Mercury enters your sign, the tide turns. Once you’re going with the flow, you’ll be amazed by what you can achieve.

Let 2020 bring the change you desire. For great news, call 1300 017 319.

CANCER JUN 23 - JUL 23

It’s impossible for most of us to understand the concepts of time and space. How can time have no beginning and space continue on forever? The mere thought is enough to give me a headache! No wonder we leave it all to scientists! Yet sometimes, thinking about these notions helps bring welcome perspective into our worlds. Life is full of facts that we need to face. This weekend, as Mercury changes signs, it will benefit you to think about something you’ve put to the back of your mind. 2020’s going to be a much better year than you think. Call 1300 017 319. SCORPIO OCT 24 - NOV 22

Every single moment, of every single day contains a choice. We decide whether we’re going to enjoy and appreciate what we’re doing, or find reasons to criticise and resent it. No matter how stuck we may feel, that choice is always present. It’s just sometimes, it’s hard to see it. You might be in circumstances that appear to be full of problems and difficulties, yet, if you look more carefully, there’s another side to the coin. You can choose to turn something around this weekend.

Don’t miss your financial outlook for 2020. For good news, call 1300 017 319. PISCES FEB 20 - MAR 20

You have so much potential and are capable of much more than you think. You have an abundance of talent that deserves to be cultivated and, when you apply yourself to complicated tasks, they become simple to resolve. Your self-awareness has increased your ability to access previously hidden strengths, and your insight into other people’s methods of working is so good that you’re able to motivate them to reach new heights of potential. You can be a force for healing this weekend.

Make this the decade that your dreams come true. Call 1300 017 319.
