YOUR STARS

Mars and Saturn are in step for some time, providing the bread and butter for several interesting celestial sandwiches. Firstly, Mercury provides the filling in a configuration called the Finger of the World. If this were an actual sandwich, we’d struggle to finish it no matter how many bites we took because it encourages us to focus on taste, rather than satisfying hunger. It’s worth remembering that sometimes it’s not what we achieve, but what we learn along the way that’s most important.

ARIES MAR 21 – APR 20

Is chocolate the best flavour for ice cream? Is silver the best colour for a car? Is classical the best kind of music? Are oranges the richest source of vitamin C?

SAGITTARIUS NOV 23 – DEC 21

You’re dealing with a situation that’s less than ideal. Yet although you feel as if you’re trying to walk through a field of thick mud wearing thongs, you have to admit that things could be a lot worse. As soon as you manage to see glimmers of hope, and focus on them, it becomes apparent that there are more glimmers glistening in the field next door.

TAURUS APR 21 – MAY 21

Aesop, the Ancient Greek storyteller wrote: “a man is known by the company he keeps”. Nowadays, that comment would be made to address women too, but the essential truth remains. If you mix with wealthy individuals, you’re likely to get richer. If you hang out with academics, you’ll get smarter. If you spend time with narrow-minded, selfish folk... I think you get my drift. As you become close to a particular group, or person, make sure their values are ones you would gladly defend. The Finger of the World alignment brings powerful positive change. Call 1300 017 319.

VIRGO AUG 24 – SEP 23

Imagine that you’re doing a cryptic crossword. You’ve pored, puzzled and pondered over a particular clue for ages and, finally, you’ve cracked it. Only... the answer doesn’t fit. Could the puzzle itself be wrong? It seems impossible. How many people (authors, proofreaders, publishers) would that mistake have to have slipped past? Yet you’re perfectly capable of spotting an error in someone else’s work, however intelligent they might be. Stay calm and trust your judgment today. The Finger of the World alignment can transform your world. Call 1300 017 319.

CAPRICORN DEC 22 – JAN 20

“I don’t know much about art but I know what I like” is one of those phrases that people use either because they don’t think they have enough knowledge to articulate how they feel about the artwork they’re viewing, or because they disagree with what the critics say. We find it hard to see the good in something once we’ve seen the bad. Yet the powerful cosmic alignments involving Saturn suggest that you’re able to review, change your mind and see a negative situation in a positive light. How will the Finger of the World alignment transform your life? Call 1300 017 319.

GEMINI MAY 22 – JUN 22

When things seem to be stacked up against us, when we can’t see the road ahead because of the obstacles on it, when everyone around is filled with gloom and doom, wouldn’t it be best just to throw in the towel, call it quits, and spend the day under the duvet? No, not when we have a dream to follow and a goal to reach. Definitely not when there’s a possibility that our efforts might translate into a surprisingly successful outcome. As your ruler is empowered, stick with your idea today. Let the Finger of the World alignment guide you to your dream future. Call 1300 017 319.

LIBRA SEP 24 – OCT 23

Bungee cords aren’t infallible. Safety nets develop holes. And insurance policies have so many get-out clauses that we need to take out insurance on our insurance. Or maybe we need to reconsider our approach to worrying about our personal safety and acknowledge that a desire to protect ourselves can go too far and create even more anxiety. You’ve been doing everything you can possibly do to protect yourself against an unwanted complication. Today brings proof of your success. The Finger of the World alignment brings transformation. Call 1300 017 319.

AQUARIUS JAN 21 – FEB 19

Psychologists argue that celebrities have less free will than us ordinary folk, that when someone famous makes a choice it has potential ramifications on the lives of many people. Apparently, knowing the fact that their almost insignificant decisions might affect others alters their pattern of thinking. Is there someone in your world whose life would be changed according to a decision you’re about to make? Could they be hoping you make one specific choice? You might be less free than you think. Let the power of the Finger of the World alignment inspire you. Call 1300 017 319.

CANCER JUN 23 – JUL 23

Following a recent video call with a relative who has a reputation for strong opinions and slightly outlandish statements, the fear, among younger family members, was he was slightly losing his marbles. It turned out that he was just turning his hearing aid off when he didn’t see eye-to-eye with whoever was talking. When they had finished speaking he flicked the switch back on and returned to making his point. There can be advantages to protecting yourself from other people’s views. How will the Finger of the World alignment transform your life? Call 1300 017 319.

OCT 24 – NOV 22

No matter your age, today’s world looks very different to the one you were born into. Political, social and environmental landscapes have changed beyond recognition: the ice caps are melting, while video chats allow us speak face to face with friends and family around the world. Even a few years ago much of this was unimaginable. It seems that we humans are a fairly adaptable and creative bunch. What seems all-consuming today could be irrelevant tomorrow. Don’t take on too much pressure. The Finger of the World alignment brings powerful positive change. Call 1300 017 319.

PISCES FEB 20 – MAR 20

”Don’t stop thinking about tomorrow, don’t stop, it’ll soon be here,” so sang Fleetwood Mac. The song’s staccato rhythm is so rousing it could be an anthem to encourage blood to pulse through your veins, to inspire you and drive you forwards. Of course, the idea of a bright future is intoxicating but if we’re always thinking about tomorrow, aren’t we ignoring the here and now? The choice is yours. Enjoy the gifts of today and know that when tomorrow does come, it will be better than before. The Finger of the World alignment can transform your world. Call 1300 017 319.
