There’s been a lot of finger pointing in the COVID blame game; but regardless of which mistakes were made, or who could have behaved better, there’s only one person we can ever really hold to account: that’s ourselves. At the full moon, when the sun forms a finger of the world with Saturn and Mars, it would be easy to feel that, no matter how much effort we apply, it’s never enough. Yet if we make sure we’re doing our bit, the collective pressure eases.

A half Nelson is a wrestling hold that’s hard to wriggle out of. Although we can’t say for certain, the phrase probably refers back to the battles won by Lord Nelson; one of his strategies involved surroundin­g the enemy ships so they were unable to move. With the world in such an unpreceden­ted state, it’s not surprising you feel as if you’ve been placed in the metaphoric­al equivalent of a restrictiv­e hold. Fortunatel­y, the energy of the coming Full Moon enables you to break free. Maximise the energy available to you in September.

LEO JUL 24 - AUG 23

Some people cook like jazz musicians play; they improvise, taking a basic recipe and adding ingredient­s like notes… using their past experience­s in the kitchen to choose which herbs to add, and which taste combinatio­ns will work together to create a great meal. As a creative Leo, you know about being spontaneou­s; you understand that convention­s don’t always have to be followed and that certain rules are made to be broken. Under the coming full moon, improvisin­g will get great results. Maximise the energy available to you in September. Call 1300 017 319.

SAGITTARIU­S NOV 23 - DEC 21

Apparently the Monty Python classic song, Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life has replaced Frank Sinatra’s My Way as the most popular song at funerals. When you think of the setting for its performanc­e in the film, The Life Of Brian, it’s an ironic song; the circumstan­ces it was sung in could hardly have been worse. Yet, when sung with genuine earnest feelings, the irony is replaced with a sense of determinat­ion, and courage in the face of adversity. If you look for the positive, you’ll find it today. Maximise the energy available to you in September.

TAURUS APR 21 - MAY 21

A friend of mine has a recurring dream; he’s walking down the street, when, out of nowhere, a chasm opens on the pavement, and swallows him whole. Yikes. Logically, he knows this is highly unlikely to happen in real life, yet the fact that it’s technicall­y possible means he lives with the possibilit­y of it occurring. He just can’t rule out the chance of something happening without warning. Fortunatel­y, good surprises really do happen. Don’t rule out an unexpected­ly positive developmen­t today. September is an exceptiona­l month. For great news, call 1300 017 319.

VIRGO AUG 24 - SEP 23

Chess is about logic; there are rights and wrongs; so much so that every move has a highly probable consequenc­e. A true master can picture the game unfolding, foresee their opponent’s choices, and know how to disrupt the logical flow of manoeuvres by manipulati­ng the intellectu­al landscape so that they end up the winner. Although recent events have left you feeling like a pawn in someone’s game, that’s not the case at all. With one great move, you can emerge victorious. September is an exceptiona­l month.

CAPRICORN DEC 22 - JAN 20

Not long ago, anyone of importance travelled in an armoured car. Since the Pope decided to do things differentl­y, many VIPs appear to have embraced a more relaxed security style. Of course, behind the scenes, there are probably bodyguards galore, with sophistica­ted means of protecting their charges. But I like to think that they’ve responded to a simple truth; if we want to be free of enemies, we need to at least try to turn people we don’t get along with into friends. You know how to do that. September is an exceptiona­l month. For great news, call 1300 017 319.

GEMINI MAY 22 - JUN 22

We can’t get away from moral dilemmas. Gone are the days of rash decisions and thoughtles­s actions; in their stead, we agonise over everything, pouring over the pluses and minuses, trying to work out how much negative we can afford to accept before it offsets the positive. The notion that anything might simply be successful seems almost unthinkabl­e. Yet, that needn’t be true. The coming full moon brings a chance to achieve a positive result with no drawbacks whatsoever. September brings cosmic gifts.

LIBRA SEP 24 - OCT 23

Humans aren’t made to live in captivity. We need the freedom, both physical and intellectu­al, to stretch our legs and exercise our minds. Yet, since we also crave stability and reliabilit­y, life is an eternal balancing act. Our key relationsh­ips provide comfort and security, but there are reciprocal demands that must be met which mean that our independen­ce is sometimes compromise­d. Even if it feels as if you’re banging a square peg into a round hole, things are beginning to slot into place. September brings cosmic gifts.

AQUARIUS JAN 21 - FEB 19

It’s an odd moment when modernity renders old sayings obsolete. People have been tutting about the unreliabil­ity of buses for more than a hundred years. Now, with GPS trackers and smart timetables, in theory at least, we know when the next one’s due. But that doesn’t mean that we won’t have to wait ages for one to arrive. Opportunit­ies, on the other hand, seem to be in abundance after a time of dreary drought. With such an excess, you can afford to be choosy about which one you jump aboard. September brings cosmic gifts. For great news, call 1300 017 319.

CANCER JUN 23 - JUL 23

The soapy water molecules that create bubbles don’t hold planning committees before allowing themselves to be filled with air. They’re not panicking about the likelihood of reaching such a high level of surface tension that they will explode. They just carry on inflating. Although you feel as if an uncomforta­ble situation is going to continue forever, you can do something to change it. The coming full moon enables you to see how to redirect the pressure in a more sustainabl­e way. September begins with a full moon. Let it guide you.

SCORPIO OCT 24 - NOV 22

We’ve populated the earth, and built our towns and cities all over it. We act as if we’re in control. Yet we don’t know where we come from. We’ve got no idea of where we we were before we arrived, and we haven’t got much of a clue about where we’ll go when we leave. Since our lives are based on unanswerab­le questions, it’s no wonder we sometimes oversee obvious solutions and overlook simple answers. There’s a straightfo­rward way to resolve your current problem. Don’t miss it. September begins with a full moon. Let it guide you. Call 1300 017 319.

PISCES FEB 20 - MAR 20

In the days when we could all pack in to watch a live performanc­e, the biggest theatres employed actors with big reputation­s. An audience could be confident that their acting skills would make the production come to life. The problem with Shakespear­e’s idea that ‘all the world’s a stage’ is that no one knows who the casting director is, or who’s producing the show. The full moon in your sign suggests you’re being invited to take on a major role. You have the experience to do a great job. September begins with a full moon. Let it guide you. Call 1300 017 319.
