WE HAVE been talking about going with the flow. With the amount of protest sweeping the world, that may seem incongruou­s. But activism is the outward sign that a tipping point has been reached. Disruption is one of the few constants. Yet we don’t need to burn bridges to make progress. As Mercury prepares to turn backwards, it’s important that messages don’t get lost. Hope, not anger, must be the motivating force. ARIES

Mar 21 - Apr 20 SOME of the best ideas the world has ever seen sounded ridiculous when they were first suggested. When Isaac Newton first came up with his theory about an invisible force holding us to the Earth, people probably thought that the falling apple had done him some serious damage! Now, though, no one disputes the existence of gravity. If you find yourself hesitating over a new idea today… don’t. It would be easy, but unwise, to put the brakes on something before it has begun. Be brave. Need some support? What’s the best way to move forward and plan for the future? Call your forecast: 1550 511 611. TAURUS Apr 21 - May 21 THE phrase ‘going on a wild goose chase’ is used to describe an action or idea that isn’t going to lead anywhere. Yet few and far between are the people who have ever tried to run after a wild goose. For all we know, it’s much easier to catch one than we think. With some quick online research, you could easily work out what delicacies geese like and ways to entice them so that they are easily contained and don’t even need to be chased. Follow this policy today regarding something you seek.

GEMINI May 22 - June 22 TICK here; cross there; there’s always some kind of form or questionna­ire to fill in. Most of us delay form-filling for as long as possible. While we are more than able to read a question and answer yes or no, something about the layout and precision required causes stress. Suppose we tick the wrong box? Well, the world wouldn’t end. In fact, it’s unlikely anything dramatic would happen, even if we didn’t do what was required. Don’t get caught in the details today. Ease your troubles. Find the support you need. Your latest forecast contains helpful informatio­n. Call 1550 511 611. CANCER June 23 - July 23 YOU find yourself engaging with someone who has a naïve view of a complex situation. They seem to be overly simplistic in their attitude and are expressing as fact something that is open to question. You’ve been very patiently trying to persuade them to be more realistic because you want them to understand why it’s important to be open-minded and thoughtful. As Mercury prepares to turn retrograde, understand­ing how they’ve reached their point of view will be key to your success. For excellent advice to guide you through the twists and turns of the week, call your latest forecast: 1550 511 611. LEO July 24 - Aug 23 SOME people seem to enjoy going between extremes. They head too far in one direction, do an about-turn, then shoot off in another. Surely it would be better if they could hold themselves back, swing less radically, and settle for somewhere more balanced? If you find yourself tempted by an opportunit­y to make a dramatic move, it’s worth taking a moment to reflect before leaping into action. As Mercury prepares to turn retrograde, you’ll be better off just maintainin­g a steady path.

VIRGO Aug 24 - Sep 23 ‘DON’T stop, thinking about tomorrow’ is a lyric from one of Fleetwood Mac’s hits. It addresses something that we humans naturally tend to do. Yet thinking about tomorrow isn’t the advice I’m going to give you. Instead, it would be far more valuable if you thought about what’s happening to you today. As your ruler, Mercury, prepares to turn retrograde, rather than pinning your hopes on what ‘might’ happen, try concentrat­ing on what you’re grateful for in the here and now. That’s where happiness lies. Even if you don’t usually hear your forecast, it contains valuable guidance. For good news, call 1550 511 611. LIBRA

Sep 24 - Oct 23 SOMETHING needs to be said. But is it your place to do so? Perhaps you feel that someone else deserves that honour? Or do you see the task as more of an embarrassm­ent? No? I’m glad to hear that. So, what’s causing you to hesitate before making your contributi­on? Since you’re aware of the potential to create a powerful change that will lead to increased co-operation and agreement, don’t be tempted to walk away from confrontin­g a challenge. You’re the right person for the

job. Ease your troubles. Find the support you need. Your latest forecast contains helpful informatio­n. Call 1550 511 611. SCORPIO Oct 24 - Nov 22 IMAGINE that you’ve just finished eating when an unexpected delivery from your favourite restaurant appears at the door. You wouldn’t be able to enjoy it. Similarly, if, after a long day’s work, an email arrives with a long list of things to do, you might just ignore it. Yet the words ‘I’ve had enough’ are almost always followed by ‘for now’. When enough time has passed, we’re able to look at things a little differentl­y. Some time ago, you’d had too much of something. Now, you’re certainly ready for more. For excellent advice to guide you through the twists and turns of the week, call your latest forecast: 1550 511 611. SAGITTARIU­S Nov 23 - Dec 21 IN days gone by, the mark of a subject’s complexity was indicated by the number of weighty tomes dedicated to it. In unpreceden­ted times such as these, when many libraries and bookshops are closed, we increasing­ly rely on the internet for our reading. While

publishing used to imply quality, anyone can write anything and put it online. So how are we supposed to distinguis­h between what’s worth reading and what’s not? Take your time before jumping to a conclusion.

CAPRICORN Dec 22 - Jan 20 SUPPOSE you were an actor, throwing yourself into your part. There would surely come a point when you forgot that you were acting. Suppose that you were acting the role of someone who was acting? Would you be pretending within a pretence, or would it be a reality within a reality? I don’t mean to bombard you with so many confusing questions. The good news, as Mercury prepares to turn retrograde, is that a situation that has been complicate­d is about to become crystal

clear. Even if you don’t usually hear your forecast, it contains valuable guidance. For good news, call 1550 511 611.

AQUARIUS Jan 21 - Feb 19 IT’S not easy when the only way to support someone is to disadvanta­ge ourselves. Perhaps you’re only too ready to take a knock in order to build someone else up? Or, maybe the idea of self-sacrifice isn’t appealing? As Mercury prepares to turn retrograde, it enables you to recognise your own worth. Then, you can find a way generously to support someone without jeopardisi­ng your progress. Every act of kindness is extraordin­ary. You can make someone’s day, and yours, too, today.

Ease your troubles. Find the support you need. Your latest forecast contains helpful informatio­n. Call 1550 511 611. PISCES I DON’T want to

Feb 20 - Mar 20 turn your forecast into a mini-lecture about the art of bridge-building. There’s no need for a discussion on the complexiti­es of different constructi­on techniques. Yet it’s worth considerin­g the negotiatio­ns needed when a link is forged between two communitie­s. Past suspicions need to be set aside before collaborat­ive teamwork can begin. You’re being offered a chance to build on a relationsh­ip with someone. Even though there are challenges ahead, your effort will bring rewards.
