YOUR STARS

The celestial climate has indicated a lack of sensible understanding for some time now. Not only has the planet of planning and communication been in a tailspin, none of the signs that typically represent rationality have hosted any visitors. It doesn’t mean that recent decisions are questionable – sometimes having a lack of something makes us work harder to manifest it. But as Mercury and Venus enter Libra tomorrow, good ideas become easier to create and more attractive to pursue. Teletopia. Max call cost $1.32 per minute, including GST.

ARIES MAR 21 – APR 20

I’ve been thinking about communication and miscommunication, about how we often talk but don’t listen, hear but don’t heed. Yet the truth is we’re no better at listening to ourselves than we are to others. We push ourselves beyond our limits. We knock ourselves down over silly errors and meaningless mistakes and grind down our confidence. As Mercury and Venus change signs tomorrow, it’s time to leave niggling regrets behind. Here comes an opportunity to achieve closure – take it. Confused? There’s a special message for you when you call 1300 017 319.

LEO JUL 24 – AUG 23

Some people seem to keep their homes tidy without too much bother. Everything looks neat and orderly, yet if you opened up a cupboard or looked into a drawer, you’d find it stuffed full of bits and bobs. Although this arrangement might have aesthetic advantages, it’s not, at least in my experience, always easy to locate something that’s been shoved away somewhere. When it comes to emotions, hiding messy feelings out of sight is never going to lead to any good. Be honest today. Are you feeling confused?

SAGITTARIUS NOV 23 – DEC 21

I’ve heard it said that there’s a special corner of hell reserved for people who, despite having the ability to speak clearly and convincingly, can’t stop changing their minds. Don’t worry, I’m not suggesting you fall into this category, but someone in your immediate orbit might. One moment they argue in favour of an approach, then, by the time you’re on board, they’re on a different page entirely. As Mercury and Venus change signs tomorrow, it’s time to define your boundaries. Are you feeling confused? There’s a special message for you when you call 1300 017 319.

TAURUS APR 21 – MAY 21

None of us view life in exactly the same way. Even things we take for granted, like colours, are perceived differently by different people. Just to make it as hard as possible, there are apparently more than one million shades, and it’s only relatively recently that we’ve been able to distinguish tones of blue. Since it’s impossible for anyone else to see how you perceive the world, if you need to make a decision based on the effect a situation is having on a key person, be as positive as you can be. Anxious? There’s a special message for you when you call 1300 017 319.

VIRGO AUG 24 – SEP 23

Imagination is a powerful tool and positive self-belief will take you a long way down the path towards success. I know this isn’t news to you – you’re a Virgo, of course you understand these concepts. It’s just that you don’t always bear them in mind and sometimes your inner critic prevents you from exploring your potential. As Venus prepares to leave your sign, you’re being gifted an opportunity. Don’t let anyone (especially you) talk yourself out of following one of your dreams today. Are you feeling anxious? There’s a special message for you when you call 1300 017 319.

CAPRICORN DEC 22 – JAN 20

When put under pressure, human beings are able to do the most extraordinary things. What’s more, the pressure doesn’t need to be negative. Challenging ourselves, or trying to do something to help someone, can enable us to rise to an occasion and reach new heights. We can be inspired to shift metaphorical mountains and surpass our own expectations with our achievements. As Mercury and Venus prepare to change signs, you can look forward to a positive accomplishment. Have faith. Are you feeling anxious? There’s a special message for you when you call 1300 017 319.

GEMINI MAY 22 – JUN 22

CEOs and superheroes like to talk about changing the world as though it’s a social, moral responsibility. But change for change’s sake isn’t always to be recommended. Nor is it even especially unusual. We make infinitesimal adjustments to our lives all the time. Do we deserve a cape and a huge salary? Only if these changes work to make the world a better place for the people around us, too. How outlandish is your current desire? As you’re about to discover, it’s not so outlandish at all. Are you feeling uncertain? There’s a special message for you when you call 1300 017 319.

LIBRA SEP 24 – OCT 23

“Fairy tales can come true, it can happen to you, when you’re young at heart” is a lyric immortalised by Sinatra. With retrograde Mercury, and Venus, about to enter your sign, the optimism it evokes seems particularly pertinent. If you listen to the voice of your inner child and allow it room to play, you can turn a drama on its head. While making fun of something might not be your normal response, pulling a metaphorical funny face will lighten up a situation, and potentially transform it. Are you feeling uncertain? There’s a special message for you when you call 1300 017 319.

AQUARIUS JAN 21 – FEB 19

Experts never seem to agree on what’s good for us and what’s not. One minute, we’re all supposed to be eating one thing, then before you know it, contradictory advice hits the headlines. At least we’re kind of used to it by now. But that’s the point. Essentially, these people are paid to argue difficult issues on our behalf. They have the expertise we lack. If the expert opinion in your world is differing regarding the best way for you to proceed, don’t forget that you know best. Trust your intuition today. Uncertain? There’s a special message for you when you call 1300 017 319.

CANCER JUN 23 – JUL 23

When a guardian angel’s trying to get your attention, what does it do? How loud does the shouting need to be? Spirits don’t come with microphones and the latest sound systems. When muses utter wisdom, they tend to whisper their advice. As a mere hint of an idea hovers on the edge of your awareness, it’s worth taking time to focus and pay it some attention. As Mercury and Venus prepare to change signs, you’re being encouraged to give that hint of an idea some credence. It deserves to be heard. Are you feeling worried? There’s a special message for you when you call 1300 017 319.

SCORPIO OCT 24 – NOV 22

So much in your world could be different. So many difficulties could be resolved. You can sense the potential for change, yet, in the current climate, it’s no wonder you’re feeling as if your ambitions should be put on hold for the moment. But, as retrograde Mercury and Venus are about to move signs, a breakthrough is possible. You’re on the verge of uncovering information that enables you to move into a stronger position from where you can make sure the right things happen. Positive change is nigh. Are you feeling worried? There’s a special message for you when you call 1300 017 319.

PISCES FEB 20 – MAR 20

Your astrological outlook is encouraging but it’s worth remembering that if you’re in the mood to seek out trouble, it won’t be long before you find it. However if you’re happy to leave it well alone, well although it might eventually come knocking on your door, it won’t have you in its sights today. Venus’s imminent change of sign brings you a cosmic dose of confidence. There’s no need to be fearful. As long as you do what needs to be done, you can easily deal with whatever comes your way. Worried? There’s a special message for you when you call 1300 017 319.
