My musician friends bemoan the slowness of the return to the new ‘normal’. Family who are shielding are alarmed by its speed. Meanwhile my bored child is desperate to stop homeschool with ‘Mr Cainer’. Whichever course we take there will be discontent. But one thing’s certain; following the Sun’s link with the Jupiter-Pluto convergenc­e, we can’t let fear rule the roost. That doesn’t mean we should act irresponsi­bly. But where reward trumps risk, opportunit­ies to live life need exploring.

ARIES MAR 21 - APR 20

There’s nothing quite like the sound of the cavalry coming to the rescue. Yet, although you’ve been peeking over the castle walls hoping to see help on the horizon, you’re still waiting for visual reassuranc­e that someone is leaping to your assistance. You can’t keep looking either... it’s chilly up on the ramparts, and you’re making yourself vulnerable to passing predators. Today, the cosmic climate offers you a metaphoric­al telescope; the rescue party is much closer than you think. What does your heart really desire and can you achieve it? Call 1300 017 319

LEO JUL 24 - AUG 23

Nutrition experts agree that eating healthy foods makes us healthier. So if we can train our minds to focus on healthy thoughts can we expect a similar reward? Will our intellectu­al abilities be increased and our conversati­onal skills enhanced? The logical extension of this idea is that if we can only eat and think the right things, we’ll become almost superhuman. We might even be able to live forever! Whilst such an extreme is impossible, by making healthy choices you’ll achieve good things. What does your heart really desire and can you achieve it? Call 1300 017 319

SAGITTARIU­S NOV 23 - DEC 21

If you don’t want to know what the future holds what’s the point in reading your prediction? Perhaps more to the point, why not ask yourself what lies ahead rather than putting me on the spot? It seems that either you’re seeking validation for your perception of what you think lies ahead, or you’ve struggled to decipher the clues. Suppose you’re not actually meant to know what’s waiting? Imagine - you might even be better off not knowing! Keep as open-minded as possible today. What does your heart really desire and can you achieve it? Call 1300 017 319

TAURUS APR 21 - MAY 21

Karl Marx observed that ‘religion is the opium of the people’. But he was writing more than 150 years ago. If he’d been writing today, he’d know better. Nowadays, the opiate is television and online entertainm­ent. It’s easier than it has ever been to turn on a screen and turn off our minds. Without stimulatio­n, our brain deteriorat­es and before we know it, we’ve transforme­d into unquestion­ing clones. You’ve been trying to overlook a recent mistake. Today brings a chance to put things right. Will the dream you’re chasing come true? Find out! Call 1300 017 319

VIRGO AUG 24 - SEP 23

You’re beginning to feel as if the great cosmic croupier has dealt you a challengin­g hand of cards. How are you going to make a winning move when you can see that the odds are stacked against you pulling off a surprise? It would be easy to feel dishearten­ed. Why bother to sit in on a game when there’s a high chance that you’ll lose it? Yet great poker players know that you can sometimes win big with surprising­ly low cards. If you can muster some bluster you’ll go far today!

CAPRICORN DEC 22 - JAN 20

When plans go wrong, or a situation doesn’t turn out as we’d hoped, we sometimes make things worse than they need to be. We tell ourselves that this is some kind of divine punishment, that the universe has ‘plenty more where that came from’, and that we might as well throw our hands up and accept disappoint­ment and defeat. If we’re not careful, this can turn into a never-ending cycle. Whatever discourage­ment you’ve faced recently, don’t take it as a sign of things to come.

GEMINI MAY 22 - JUN 22

You share something special with people who are ‘on your wavelength’. You probably laugh at the same things and are intuitivel­y able to tell how the other person feels about certain situations. Yet for everyone with whom you share a natural affinity, there are also people who seem diametrica­lly opposed to your views and to your way of being. Today brings a chance to gain insight into the mind of one of these so-called opponents. You’ll be surprised and amazed by what you discover. Change is possible now. Get some valuable help. Call 1300 017 319

LIBRA SEP 24 - OCT 23

Your ability to facilitate communicat­ion between people who don’t see eye to eye is legendary. Whilst most people want things to be ‘okay’ and avoid conflict if they can, you have a talent for diffusing difficult situations and creating a space for conciliati­on and understand­ing. With so much subtle power at your fingertips, it’s no surprise that someone’s directing negative energy towards you. Just do your best... you’ll be fine. You’re being protected by a kindly sky.

AQUARIUS JAN 21 - FEB 19

Here’s a wonderful expression from Yorkshire, ‘where there’s muck, there’s brass’. Although it’s true, money isn’t only made in mucky situations. But wherever something dirty is going on (be that fear, conflict or any other murky business) you can confidentl­y predict that someone is making a tidy profit whilst appearing to be cleaning things up. If you make a heartfelt effort to sort out an angry situation with the feather duster of forgivenes­s, the reward will be more subtle, but much more satisfying. Change is possible now.

CANCER JUN 23 - JUL 23

You’re no longer the person you were yesterday. And that’s no bad thing. Slowly but surely, you’re transition­ing into the person you were born to be. You’re not quite there yet though... and this in-between stage feels discombobu­lating; especially since there are no definitive guidelines or advice. You’ve been left to your own devices. Yet today, someone you’ve met along the way can act as a guide - or at least offer support. The cosmic message is clear; you’re about to find the clarity you seek. Solve problems. Ease troubles.

SCORPIO OCT 24 - NOV 22

When we find ourselves in bewilderin­g situations, our first instinct is often to push against them. We prefer things the way they were. We understood them. Then, as we acclimatis­e, we realise that while things might not be ideal they’re certainly not as bad as they seemed. With time we become so used to our new situation that if someone offered an alternativ­e or even our old way of being back, we’d recoil in horror. Sometimes, in order to move forwards, we need to take a look back.

PISCES FEB 20 - MAR 20

No process of self-discovery can begin by disregardi­ng the needs of other people. How can we overcome our own internal struggles if we’re unable to listen and attempt to understand the challenges facing the people around us? Although the sense of being more knowledgea­ble and morally superior feels satisfying, it’s a bit like fast food; it tastes good, but there’s no lasting sense of fullness and no nutritiona­l value. Where you see struggle, extend empathy rather than judgment today.
