It’s not just that the second New Moon to fall in a single sign inspires me to call this a Blue trine Eclipse. Nor is the Grand trine the only triangle in the equation. As the Great American Eclipse begins, one of the final landmarks it crosses will be th

ARIES Mar 21 — Apr 20

WE’RE all aware that running a marathon is a test of endurance, but only those who have finished a race over 26 and a bit miles understand the blisters, aches and pains that accompany the achievement. That’s the difference between knowing something and experiencing it. There’s something in your life you’re starting to ‘know’ for the first time, and the implications are sinking in. As they do and you comprehend the gulf between the drawing board and reality, you’ll find fresh inspiration.

TAURUS Apr 21 — May 21

WHEN you’ve been fasting, the first bite of food is immensely satisfying. A large constituent of the pleasure derives from finally eating something after a time of denial. Yet no matter how delicious the delicacy or how famished we feel, hunger is finite. And although we might want to eat and never stop, if we ignore our body’s signals, too much of even the healthiest banquet will make us ill. If you can control your impulses now, success untainted by excess will take you on a journey towards great satisfaction. A rare portal now opens up in this magical time between two eclipses.

GEMINI May 22 — June 22

CAN you count to three out loud? One, two, three. Why? Oh, no reason — I just wanted you to pause for a moment. Your full-steam-ahead attitude is great, but you’ll tire yourself out if you don’t relax. I say that knowing no one pays attention when told to slow down. Even though we understand that giving ourselves some ‘time out’ allows us to process and perform better, we don’t like hearing it. Remember that the people reminding you to take a breather do so because they care about you.

CANCER June 23 — July 23

YOU’RE feeling confident that you know what’s going on and how you’re going to make it go the way you want it to go. That’s because you think that what you think is all that there is to know. This reveals a potential flaw in your argument and a possible obstacle that will throw you off track. Meanwhile, someone else has a clear idea of what you need to do to move forward, but

why should you trust their judgment? Though it will feel frustrating, if you can stay open

LEO July 24 — Aug 23

HOW many children look forward to bedtime? Mine will do anything to avoid it! Yet teenagers will gladly sleep until the afternoon. I’m sure I’m not the only adult who looks forward to the end of the day. We change as we get older and activities we once found objectionable become more appealing, such as eating vegetables and paying bills. There are many ‘negative’ experiences that we reframe as rewarding. The stress you’re experiencing could be alleviated if approached from a different angle.

VIRGO Aug 24 — Sep 23

TRY not to focus on the reason why you and ‘a certain person’ are having problems seeing eye-to-eye. Look instead at what you have in common. I know it’s not easy to shift your mind to such a different way of thinking. But look carefully and you’ll find that you share opinions. Then, if you’re clever — and subtle — you can focus on the end goal and find a way for you to be able to work together for the greater good. The best solutions come when everyone works to the best of their abilities. You can make that happen.

LIBRA Sep 24 — Oct 23

WE CAN find ourselves like Alice in Wonderland in a world as difficult to comprehend as it is alluring. It’s not always easy to know what to do. Your ruler’s link to Jupiter is the equivalent of a cookie labelled ‘Eat me’ arriving in your life. It’s an experiment, with the potential for huge emotional growth. Of course, growth and change are not easy to deal with and, like Alice, we prefer to run away from potential problems. But allow your curiosity to be piqued today. This adventure is worth taking.

SCORPIO Oct 24 — Nov 22

WE LOVE to escape into fantasy. Whether in the company of handsome heroes and feisty heroines in a novel or watching warriors take on fire-breathing dragons on screen, these are harmless diversions. They are problematic only when you spend so much time in these worlds that you struggle to distinguish them from the real one. How serious is the problem you’re grappling with? There’s a chance that you’re exaggerating the risk and making it harder to overcome than necessary.

SAGITTARIUS Nov 23 — Dec 21

IT’S a classic refrain, one we first hear from teachers and parents: ‘You’ve done your best and you can’t do any more than that.’ What if our best isn’t up to the task? Will a regretful shrug and feelings of self-reproach help us come to terms with our failure? Not necessarily. Perhaps such setbacks should prompt us to reassess. Are we throwing our all into a project that is going nowhere? There’s another way, one that will make much greater use of your many qualities.

CAPRICORN Dec 22 — Jan 20

ATHLETES need to warm up before a race, but they also have to cool down. If not, their muscles seize up and their bodies take longer to recover. It’s the same with an argument: just as there’s a prelude — the building of animosity, hostility and resentment — there’s a cooling-off period, when everything’s been resolved. We can’t just switch off. Emotions take time to ebb away. Take care not to hold on to yours for too long. There’s a difference between a natural process of recuperation and holding a grudge.

AQUARIUS Jan 21 — Feb 19

WE’RE quick to accuse certain people of being out to deceive us. In a list of the least-trusted, politicians are usually somewhere near the top, followed by estate agents. But while we are busy criticising others, we forget that most of us can be economical with the truth at times. We spin stories to suit our own purposes, skipping over inconvenient facts in the hope that others will buy into our version. And sometimes they do. But, in general, honesty is the best policy — and that’s true today. A rare portal now opens up in this magical time between two eclipses. Find out what this means for you. Call 0906 751 5611.

PISCES Feb 20 — Mar 20

HOW often have you embarked on a ‘simple’ task, only still to be struggling with it hours later? Conversely, sometimes you brace yourself for a heavy-duty assignment, only for it to turn out to be a lot more straightforward than you anticipated. We should never choose a job because it’s simple or avoid another because it appears difficult. If you set sail in calm conditions and find yourself in a storm, you might need to return to port. But before you do, see if you can surf that big wave — it may propel you forward. A rare portal now opens up in this magical time between two eclipses. Find out what this means for you.
