YOUR STARS

Under the powerful influence of the Jupiter-Pluto convergence, it’s worth remembering that fear often brings a rush of endorphins. We see proof of this in our fondness of scary movies. (Although personally I’m about as brave as my cat is when he’s confronted by the vacuum cleaner!) Luckily, we needn’t approach the week with too much trepidation. With Venus’ influence still strong, even the scariest looking things aren’t as bad as they seem.

ARIES MAR 21 - APR 20

One more week on this spinning ball of rock that we call home. Yet our planet has been hurtling around the Sun for billions of years and the maths is unarguable; anyone who celebrates their 100th birthday will spend five thousand weeks here. So do we really need to make each one count? Aren’t we allowed to just drift through one from time to time? Of course we are! No one can constantly fight and try to do their best. This week, you can allow yourself to be carried along.

LEO JUL 24 - AUG 23

Your levels of stress are rising. If you imagine yourself as a character in one of the old silent films, it feels a bit as if a baddie wearing a top hat is tying you to the railway tracks as the express train steams towards you. Help! How are you going to escape? Fortunately, you’re the star of your life story; and this particular film has a happy ending. It’s not going to be easy … there will be some dramas along the way. But, in the nick of time, you’re either going to escape or be rescued.

SAGITTARIUS NOV 23 - DEC 21

There’s a question you’re burning to find an answer to. If, over the next few days, you were able to find a solution to your dilemma, you’d certainly feel more confident; yet you would also fail to fully benefit from being forced to look back and review. Real-life mysteries make us uncomfortable. We want solutions and we want them now. Yet, like it or not, they form the building bricks of our cosmos. Yes, you’re being forced to think things through - but you’re learning something of great value. Your forecast for April has encouraging news. Call 1300 017 319

TAURUS APR 21 - MAY 21

In 1967, Sean Connery starred in the Bond movie, You Only Live

Twice. Personally, I’d have thought that being an undercover spy would be too exhausting to do more than once! Just think of the evil masterminds, hidden gadgets, double-crossings … and that’s before we even get to jumping out of helicopters. Yet, Bond himself has lived more than 24 lives in more than 24 films. Reliving an old experience is not always a setback. Sometimes, it’s a blessing in disguise.

VIRGO AUG 24 - SEP 23

Somewhere, deep in the recesses of your mind, a theory is slowly developing. Since I’m only an astrologer (and uninitiated in scientific discourse) I wonder if you could explain the difference between an unproven theorem and an assumption? You’re 99.99% sure you’ve hit the nail on the head and that almost every alternative avenue has been investigated. But that wriggle room could well cause you problems later down the line. Be certain before you make a move you can’t take back. Your April forecast can help deal with the challenges. Call 1300 017 319

CAPRICORN DEC 22 - JAN 20

Creative folk are able to work wonders with whatever materials they have to hand. We tend to think of the great geniuses as people who might wake up in the middle of the night, with an idea in their heads and leap out of bed to get to work. Yet we’re all capable of having inventive ideas and fashioning what we need from what we’ve got. Under the influence of Jupiter and Pluto, you feel under pressure to create something miraculous. Just trusting in what seems most logical is enough.

GEMINI MAY 22 - JUN 22

There’s a popular expression ‘fake it until you make it’. It’s a useful reminder that sometimes, when you don’t feel able to throw yourself wholeheartedly into a challenging task, if you can summon the energy to try to do what you can, what starts off as feeling difficult, will become easier. Eventually, what felt unnatural and fake starts to flow and gather momentum. The Jupiter/Pluto connection, which is impacting all our lives, is bringing its challenges. Trying to do your best is more than good enough. For valuable support that can help you through April, call 1300 017 319

LIBRA SEP 24 - OCT 23

Competition with other people spurs us on to push for higher goals and pushes us to reach for greater heights. It’s easy to get so carried away that we push ourselves far harder than we might otherwise have done. While this is a very successful mechanism when it comes to dealing with some aspects of life, in more sensitive areas, creating a race-like environment can have a detrimental effect. You’re facing a situation that requires thoughtfulness and patience. Take your time today.

AQUARIUS JAN 21 - FEB 19

People seek opportunities in the most unlikely places. Whether they’re trying to sell ice to Inuits, or coal to mining towns, their determination makes them hard to refuse. Someone who’s hard to say no to is trying to sow seeds of doubt in one of your plans. What’s more, their skilfully timed comments are undermining your confidence. You know that you’re capable of doing the seemingly impossible; it’s never beaten you before. Stick to your plans and you’ll do it again.

CANCER JUN 23 - JUL 23

Everything is relative. To anyone used to long-haul travel, a four-hour hop from Gatwick to Athens is over in the blink of an eye. To less experienced travellers, it might feel like an age. And these days, it feels like impossibility. It all boils down to a question of perspective. Though time waits for no one, the thought of waking up to find that ten years have passed overnight is panic-inducing. A decision that once lay in the distant future has suddenly arrived. There’s no need for that to be a bad thing. Your April forecast can help you in these unsettling times. Call 1300 017 319

OCT 24 - NOV 22

The term ‘Time Machine’ was first coined in 1895 - not by a physicist, an astronomer or even a scientist, but by a novelist. It took the imaginative freedom of fiction to dream such a device into being. Not that it’s just literary types who’d like one. The ability to fast-forward or rewind our own lives would be extraordinary. Taken on too much? Just go back and refuse. Chosen the wrong path? No problem, just nip back and take the other. You can’t do that today. But you can press pause on a problem. Your April forecast can help you in these unsettling times. Call 1300 017 319

PISCES FEB 20 - MAR 20

Imagine that you’re feeling nosy. ‘Aha’, you think, ‘I’ll have a look at what advice Virgos and Scorpios are receiving, today’. How would you feel if you discovered it was the exact same advice I’d given to you? Probably, you’d be a little displeased. Yet, multiple star signs often find themselves in similar predicaments. In moments of extreme astrological turbulence, continuity is better than change. So, sit tight, for the time being. There’ll be plenty of opportunity for innovation.
