IT’S a big day in the astrological calendar. As power planet Mars moves into Aquarius and links with Pluto, it brings a cosmic invitation to instigate revolutionary change. But rather than going for it all guns-blazing, a pancake-flipping approach will work best. It’s about being confident but careful – too much energy, and breakfast ends up on the ceiling! A subtle, soft approach will get the best results.

ARIES

Mar 21 - Apr 20 MOST of us, most of the time, do what we’re told to do. And if no one’s telling us to do something, we do what we imagine we might be told to do. Aargh! Humans are surprisingly compliant. But every so often, even the most passive people are capable of standing up for themselves, discovering new passions and branching out in unexpected ways. As your ruler Mars changes signs and links with Pluto, if you want to instigate a change in a situation that other people are happy to accept, the timing is absolutely perfect. You can use the celestial energy to create positive change. For valuable insight, call 1550 511 611. TAURUS Apr 21 - May 21 EVEN if we do

our best to accept that what’s done is done, we all have regrets. And, when you think about it, trying to lead a life that doesn’t have the potential to lead to anything ‘regrettable’ might be one of the most regrettable things we could do! Being perfect is no fun, we need the freedom to get things wrong. It could even be said that it’s a mistake to try to avoid making mistakes! And having no regrets can lead to arrogance. Do you need to forgive someone? If you do (but you don’t do it), you might end up regretting it. Take full advantage of the cosmic climate; solve your problems and find solutions! Call 1550 511 611. GEMINI May 22 - June 22 HUMANS enjoy imposing rules. We tell each other where we can (and can’t) go, and which option we’re allowed to take. We set standards of behaviour that must be conformed to. And we learn, from a young age, to be alert to signs that we might accidentally be contravening one of these codes. If we’re too focused on complying, we risk missing out on opportunities. As Mars changes signs, it gives you the courage to push a boundary, allowing you more freedom to be yourself. You’ve got lots to look forward to! Find inspiration in your latest four-minute forecast. Call 1550 511 611. CANCER June 23 - July 23 IT’S easy for you to underestimate the effect you have on people. Even when you think you’re being overlooked, you’re making an impact. Some people might be shy of expressing their admiration because they’re impressed by you. Or they’re secretly attracted to you. Some are nervous because they know you’re intuitive, and will spot aspects of their character they’d rather keep hidden. And some smart people realise that despite your strengths, you need support sometimes. A mutually encouraging connection is possible today. For great news on the progress you can make this week, call your latest forecast: 1550 511 611. LEO July 24 - Aug 23 TO SOME extent, all our interactions and relationships involve a power struggle. In the best-case scenarios, no one wins these battles. And in our close connections, they can continue, in a gentle way, for years. We often assume that in order to get on with people, we need to agree. But challenge is essential; it keeps us alert and causes us to rethink our views and our relationship with the world. The tension you’re experiencing is for a good reason. It’s helping you instigate a welcome change. Creative, inspiring times lie ahead for you. Make the most of your astrological opportunity. Call 1550 511 611. VIRGO Aug 24 - Sep 23 WHO, in your

world, can you depend on to truly understand you? Who is there to offer advice and go out of their way to offer you support? There is someone who satisfies these criteria. Except that, right now, you doubt their ability to get involved. Maybe they’ve got their own challenges to deal with. Or maybe you’re just reluctant to ask them for help. If the latter is the case, the movement of Mars into a new sector of the sky gives you the confidence to reach out. Or, if that feels inappropriate, ask someone else. Help is available. There’s so much more to tell you. Your four-minute forecast could change your life. Call 1550 511 611.

LIBRA Sep 24 - Oct 23 WHEN we started using computers, we considered them to be different from, and perhaps ‘better’ than, us. Since they’re machines without emotional capacity, we thought them incapable of making mistakes. These days, we’re concerned about AI, and we know computers are not error-proof. Just like us, they have imperfections. If you’re worried about getting something wrong, today brings reassurance. You might not be perfect. But if you follow your heart, you’ll be open to a possibility that has the potential to bring joy. Need advice to guide you through the week? Call your forecast: 1550 511 611. SCORPIO

Oct 24 - Nov 22 THE author of Dracula, Bram Stoker, was a Scorpio. His imaginings led to a story that has captured our imaginations for more than 100 years. Which just goes to show what can happen when members of your sign get carried away with an idea! You’ve got the power to impact those around you both positively and negatively. You can spread anxiety, or you can spread inspiration. As Mars moves towards a significant connection to your ruler, Pluto, your powers are at their most persuasive. Be the most positive you can be today. How can you stay focused in this crazy world? Your forecast has advice. Call 1550 511 611. SAGITTARIUS Nov 23 - Dec 21 WHEN I was a child, I really wanted a pair of X-ray specs. According to the ads in the back of my comics, they gave their wearer the ability to see through walls. Sadly, when I got a pair, they were just cheap plastic glasses! How disappointing. Although that superpower isn’t available, you’ve got access to the next best thing. As Mars changes signs and moves to connect to Pluto, it brings the understanding to see through confusion. A seemingly unsolvable mystery is easily solvable. Even if you don’t usually call your in-depth prediction, you should hear the news. Call 1550 511 611. CAPRICORN Dec 22 - Jan 20 HOW do you know what you know about the situation you’re dealing with? And are you certain you know everything you need to know about it? The truth is that you can’t be 100 per cent certain. No matter how much research you’ve done, there’s a chance you’ve overlooked something. All you can do is check your facts and then work with what you have. It’s time to stop deliberating and be decisive. The good news is that as Mars leaves your sign and links with Pluto, your instincts are spot on. Trust them. For news on the positive progress you can make this week, call your latest four-minute forecast: 1550 511 611. AQUARIUS Jan 21 - Feb 19 IF ONLY we

could work out where stress comes from. If it’s being manufactured somewhere, we’d be able to track it down and close down the production line, then that would be the end of it. No more stress. No more worry. Yay! But no more drama or excitement either. With Mars moving into your sign, where it will connect with mysterious Pluto, you’d be wise to prepare for an eventful time. It’s not going to be stress-free. But if you embrace the adventures ahead, they can be transforming in the best possible ways. Capture the powerful energy of the star-filled skies. Call your forecast: 1550 511 611. PISCES Feb 20 - Mar 20 WE’RE all aware

of the dangers of counting chickens before they’ve hatched. But that doesn’t mean it’s not a good idea to make plans for the arrival of a certain number of chicks. No matter how many appear, you need to be prepared to deal with them. You’ve been waiting for something to change and done all you can to hurry it along. As Mars changes signs, it brings a shift of energy that speeds everything up. You’re about to see an improvement. It might not be quite what you expect, but the outlook is promising. Powerful changes are possible as the planets positively combine. Make the most of their influence. Call 1550 511 611.
