When two sprinters cross the finishing line at the same time, we use technology to determine which one was the fastest. We live in a world where there can only ever be one winner. It’s a strange ethos and an unhelpful belief system. The competitiv­e nature of our lives goes back thousands of years – you’d think we’d have found a better way to evaluate success by now. Following the powerful Halloween Blue Moon, you can find a skilful way to judge the success of a situation today.

November’s due to be amazing. For four minutes of news, call 1300 017 319.

MAR 21 – APR 20

LEO

Although great TV series and films entertain us, it’s rare they go into great depths or details. They rely on our readiness to accept cliches, follow suppositio­ns and judge situations and characters by their looks. If we seek more intricate background informatio­n, we have to turn to literature. We often accept the superficia­l in our lives too, rather than seek out the complexiti­es that lie beneath the surface. Today, as Mercury prepares to turn direct, it’s important to go beyond the obvious. There’s excellent news in your November prediction. Call 1300 017 319.

JUL 24 – AUG 23 SAGITTARIU­S NOV 23 – DEC 21

What would we do with ourselves if we didn’t spend so much time worrying? How would we fill up our days if we didn’t pass so many hours mulling over our concerns and fears about the future? Even if those negative thoughts pass quickly through our minds, they have a significan­t impact on our unconsciou­s, and influence our sense of self and purpose. As Mercury prepares to turn direct, it provides you the opportunit­y to banish a stream of thoughts that you’ll be much better off without. Find out how to make this a month to remember by calling 1300 017 319.

I’m often asked about election outcomes. But rather than compelling us to vote one way or another, astrology speaks to our emotional states – and that may push us in certain directions. Following the Blue Full Moon at Halloween, there’s a yearning for change in a key relationsh­ip, whatever political affiliatio­n we have. For some, that includes their relationsh­ip with government. Mercury turns direct tomorrow, so it’s time to make informed decisions.

TAURUS APR 21 – MAY 21

We get used to being uncomforta­ble. We find ways to sleep on tired mattresses and lumpy sofas so that we lessen the impact of the lack (or excess) of padding. If the offending piece of furniture is magically replaced, we might even moan about the discomfort of the new one. Following the Blue Moon in your sign, a subtle change has occurred to an old, familiar source of stress. It might take some getting used to. But you’ll soon appreciate the new level of ease. Don’t judge too quickly today. For encouragin­g news about what November holds for you, call 1300 017 319.

VIRGO AUG 24 – SEP 23

Emotions are nonsensica­l. They’re crazy, messy, illogical things that can’t be categorise­d, fixed or reasoned. Yet, there are times when they blow us away with their clarity. Nothing says that our emotions should logically follow whatever’s in our heads. Nor can we expect our hearts to glow with fervent enthusiasm for technical plans concocted with mechanical precision. As your ruler prepares to turn direct, feel what you need to feel, but don’t let it eclipse your commonsens­e. November holds great potential for positive change in your life. Call 1300 017 319.

CAPRICORN DEC 22 – JAN 20

It starts when we’re young: we’re taught that quality is more important than quantity and that life isn’t a game of numbers. I suspect that scientists, mathematic­ians and accountant­s might disagree. As, for that matter, might the many billionair­es, for whom a tiny increase in their profits pays for their next yacht. Like most things, there are arguments to be made for both sides. This week, the numbers don’t lie. Nor can they be ignored. Just don’t let them become the be all and end all. Your powerful prediction for November is ready. Call 1300 017 319 to hear it.

GEMINI MAY 22 – JUN 22

If life was only about listening to our hearts, would we be able to avoid our day-to-day difficulti­es? Surely we’re all considerat­e souls who simply want to do the right thing? None of us want to be so complex that we’re unable to access the voice of our purest emotions. Even if that does occur, we’re always only one thought away from returning to our most innocent selves. As your ruler prepares to turn direct tomorrow, all will be well if you see the best in everyone you meet. There’s so much to tell you about November. Call 1300 017 319 to hear your fourminute forecast.

LIBRA SEP 24 – OCT 23

In these unpreceden­ted times, when so much of what we took for granted is no longer possible, it’s hard to know how to explain things. It’s not easy to know whether we’re doing the right thing, or the wrong thing. We live by a system of societal codes which we’re bound to follow, otherwise we find ourselves on the margins, or in breach of the ethics we need to live by. Somewhere in your world, someone is pretending to be something that they’re not. Don’t be deceived by appearance­s today. Your four-minute November forecast will be rewarding. Call 1300 017 319.

AQUARIUS JAN 21 – FEB 19

The rollercoas­ter of life is, thank goodness, not as terrifying as the ones found at theme parks. Although there are thrilling moments as we climb to the top, and exhilarati­ngly fast descents, at least there are also long periods in between when we just rumble along on a fairly level track. Well, that’s normally how things are. Yet, you’ve been through more than your fair share of dramatic moments recently. No wonder you’re hoping for a quieter and smoother ride. It’s on its way. Take advantage of November’s exciting cosmic climate. Call 1300 017 319 to hear about it.

CANCER JUN 23 – JUL 23

Nine times out of 10 you’re probably right – and don’t get me wrong, those aren’t bad odds at all. But they’re not perfect. So, it’s no surprise that even you find yourself grappling with the fallout from a misjudged comment every now and then. Wouldn’t it be brilliant if we could all install some kind of sensor that would bleep whenever we were seduced into believing we were right when we weren’t? For the time being though, the cosmos is doing its very best to point you in the right direction. Make your dreams come true in November. Find out more, call 1300 017 319.

SCORPIO OCT 24 – NOV 22

When we talk about the elephant in the room, we’re usually referring to the fact that someone’s trying to avoid acknowledg­ing a truth that is both obvious and important. Sometimes we share in the complicity. Knowing glances, raised eyebrows, and a rigorous refusal to look in the far left-hand corner are telltale signs we’re hoping that the elephant will miraculous­ly find its own way out. How’s it going so far? Your best bet today is to face up to something, warts and all. For great news about the exciting opportunit­ies that await you in November, call 1300 017 319.

PISCES FEB 20 – MAR 20

You’re dealing with a tricky imbalance in one area of your world. Where you’d appreciate clarity and concision, you have more options than you can shake a stick at. Yet, where you’d like the luxury of choice, there are none. If only you could find middle ground, yet the chances of you finding this seem slim. But things aren’t always as they appear to be and sometimes the impossible turns out to be very possible indeed. Should you take a risk to pursue a dream? Success awaits you. A new month brings with it a forecast that could transform your life. Call 1300 017 319.
