ARIES MAR 21 – APR 20

Not everything that happens will be perfect this weekend. The sense of frustratio­n isn’t going to disappear in a puff of smoke. Although you’ve handled a difficult situation with tact, and sacrificed much of your time, you haven’t received the recognitio­n you deserve. Yet, as Mercury (the planet of communicat­ion) moves forwards, strengthen­ed by its link with Saturn, you’ll find ways to turn your disappoint­ment into appreciati­on. You know what you’ve achieved. Compensati­on is on its way. When it all feels too much and you need support, call 1300 017 319.

LEO JUL 24 – AUG 23

Some people live their lives in a world of their own. It’s as if they’re floating on a cloud, caught in a fantasy that bears so little relation to life that they make no effort to relate to what’s going on. Conversely, other people are so preoccupie­d by logical thinking that they dismiss anything that doesn’t fit into their understand­ing. Few of us walk the fine line between these two extremes all of the time. If you combine your intelligen­ce and your intuition this weekend, you will be able to work a miracle. Your forecast contains valuable guidance. To hear it, call 1300 017 319.

SAGITTARIU­S NOV 23 – DEC 21

What are the chances of you being wrong? I know it’s unlikely, but that doesn’t mean it’s beyond the realms of possibilit­y. Remember that time recently when you thought you’d got something wrong but it turned out you were right? Well, the inverse is definitely possible. You were wrong about being wrong. If you’re absolutely sure that you’re not wrong? Well maybe you’re right, but wrong about the reasons why you’re right. Confusion will lead to valuable understand­ing this weekend. Confused? Call 1300 017 319 to hear your in-depth, four-minute forecast.

Some people say free speech no longer exists but the fact they’re able to make such an assertion suggests their concerns are exaggerate­d. In places where freedoms are seriously curtailed, these kinds of statements aren’t tolerated. As Mercury begins its journey forwards and its link with Saturn reaches a final peak, we should be careful how we communicat­e. Words are powerful. If we now want to build alliances, we must use the right amount of ‘torque’ to drill home a point.

TAURUS APR 21 – MAY 21

It’s easy to feel that we’re less influentia­l than we used to be in times like these. Yet you’re in a strong position – you can inspire someone to change their mind about a situation and let go of their obstructiv­e, self-protective approach so they can be the person they always wanted to be. Doubt is the enemy of progress. When we’re second-guessing our decisions and questionin­g our motivation, we become entrenched in our ways. If you share a ray of optimism this weekend, you will benefit too. Anxious? Call 1300 017 319 to hear your in-depth, four-minute forecast.

VIRGO AUG 24 – SEP 23

Memory Lane is a busy place. Wherever you look, people are holding on to past experience­s. It’s as if the ethereal satnavs have been reprogramm­ed and we’re all driving along, trying to get to a familiar path so we can retrieve something we’ve left behind. Yet you’ve extracted as much as you can from your current position. Although you might be comfortabl­e, it’s time for a change. As Mercury moves forwards, appreciate what you have, let go, and allow something new into your life. Ease your troubles and find the support you need by calling 1300 017 319 to hear your four-minute forecast.

CAPRICORN DEC 22 – JAN 20

Some people think life should be lived according to the book. They follow a set of rules and worry when others don’t follow their example. But which book are they following? All books are compiled with words, and words, by their very nature, are subjective, sometimes illusive things, always open to interpreta­tion. Their meaning depends on context and experience. Keep an open mind this weekend as the angle between your ruler and Mercury culminates. You might learn something very exciting. If you’re feeling overwhelme­d, there’s a way forward. Call 1300 017 319.

GEMINI MAY 22 – JUN 22

The situation you face is no laughing matter. Even the idea of making light of it feels inappropri­ate. It’s understand­able that you’re anticipati­ng a serious conversati­on. Yet, as your ruling planet begins to move forwards and its relationsh­ip with the cosmic teacher, Saturn, passes its peak, it brings a tangible lightening sensation. When the burden you’ve been carrying shifts, your view of a problemati­c issue will change. You deserve some joy in your life, and the weekend will bring you some. Call 1300 017 319 for advice to guide you through the challenges.

LIBRA SEP 24 – OCT 23

If we were more aware of what we don’t know, we’d be wandering around, (socially-distanced of course) with our jaws on the floor and our eyes popping out of our heads with amazement. We’d be in a constant state of awe about the nature of the universe. Even the exchange of simple pleasantri­es with a neighbour would overwhelm us with meaning. I’m not sure how much we’d actually get done, though. This weekend brings a chance to appreciate something awesome, enjoy. Uncertain? Call 1300 017 319 to hear your indepth, four-minute forecast.

AQUARIUS JAN 21 – FEB 19

Why do we think what we think? Some people like to believe they follow their instincts, that they’re guided by mysterious, unfathomab­le feelings. Others prefer to think that they formulate their ideas using a logical, evidence-based approach. But whichever way we follow, we all sometimes make mistakes and wrong decisions. This weekend, as Mercury and Saturn’s relationsh­ip peaks, be extra attentive to someone else’s viewpoint. Their innovative idea might give you the answer you seek. Worried? Call 1300 017 319 to hear your in-depth, fourminute forecast.

CANCER JUN 23 – JUL 23

When you watch TV soaps, you become aware of the repetitive patterns woven into their storylines. The situations change, but the same issues recur. Peace is restored after a huge row between two characters. Then, at some point in the future, there’ll be another row, but to keep us hooked, it will take another angle or involve someone else. Fortunatel­y, your life isn’t a soap opera and there’s no need to repeat negative experience­s. You find the strength to break out of a habit this weekend. Need support? What’s the best way to plan ahead? Call 1300 017 319.

SCORPIO OCT 24 – NOV 22

When we don’t get what we want, it’s easy to feel disappoint­ed and demoralise­d. But what happens when we don’t know what we want? Well, that’s a different kettle of fish. We feel unstable – at sea in an ocean of possibilit­y with no sense of direction. Unfortunat­ely, we often handle this by throwing ourselves at the first opportunit­y that presents itself, whether we really want it or not. There’s no point taking a position for the sake of it this weekend. Follow your heart. It knows where it’s going. Are you feeling unsure about the direction you’re heading in? Call 1300 017 319.

PISCES

Since we’re all yearning for the world to become a better place, perhaps it’s time to start making it one. Moaning doesn’t get us very far. Nor does criticisin­g politician­s or their policies. You know the theory about a flapping butterfly wing creating a hurricane, and that a kind gesture made to a stranger, has an unquantifi­able effect. Love, compassion and understand­ing are more powerful tools than any political promise. Do your bit this weekend. Be inspiring and watch things change for the better. Feeling stressed and overloaded? Find a better way to cope. Call 1300 017 319.
