IT’S more than a week since the Eclipse arrived to brighten, ahem, darken our skies. it would be wonderful to hear how it affected you, especially if you were one of the lucky people who saw it. i had planned to view it in the Blue ridge Mountains in the U.S. with an old friend. We chose this location so we could experience the awe of nature as the sky darkened, hear the birds fall silent and see magical twilight envelop the mountains. But it didn’t all go exactly to plan!

ARIES Mar 21 — Apr 20

CBT — cognitive behavioura­l therapy — aims to make people aware of the thought processes behind bad habits and give them the tools to change how they think and act. I mention it because there’s something you’d like to do differentl­y. You’re repeating a pattern, yet you know another approach would serve you better. Self-reflection can work wonders. You don’t have to be a slave to your own mind. If you can find flaws in the reasoning behind the pattern, you can break it. Your in-depth week-ahead forecast lasts four minutes. It could be one of the most rewarding calls you make. Call 0906 751 5601.

TAURUS Apr 21 — May 21

WITH Venus changing signs last weekend, you’re entering a phase when your gaze turns inward. It’s important to focus on ourselves, consolidat­e and evaluate, and spend time watering the tree of our own life. After all, there’s no point spreading our branches outwards if our roots pull up with the first gust of wind. Yet as important as this process is, becoming too insular is unhealthy. We need security and stability, but not at the expense of opportunit­y and freedom. You can strike a balance today. Make this week special. To discover some priceless informatio­n that can create the change you really need, call 0906 751 5602.

GEMINI May 22 — June 22

NOTHING is impossible and no rule is absolute. Even when all hope seems lost and every avenue exhausted, life has the capacity to surprise us. Closed doors can reopen and once-in-a-lifetime opportunit­ies sometimes come around twice. The universe believes in second chances and in special circumstan­ces is prepared to go out of its way to present the necessary chances. Keep your eyes peeled for a sign. It might not seem much, but the potential is extraordin­ary. Your in-depth week- ahead forecast lasts four minutes. It could be one of the most rewarding calls you make. Call 0906 751 5603.

CANCER June 23 — July 23

I MIGHT have raised an eyebrow or two in the astrologic­al community yesterday by counsellin­g you to apply sound, reasoned logic. Stereotypi­cally, Cancerians are not the most logical of people. You’re far more emotionall­y intuitive and instinctua­l, but no one’s black and white — you’re capable of using logic, too. You wouldn’t have got this far without it. But it’s understand­able to fall back on what comes naturally when under stress. Fortunatel­y, there’s little to fear on that count today. Make this week special.

LEO July 24 — Aug 23

WE TEACH children the importance of modesty. We tell them it’s good to be gracious and self-deprecatin­g — and that no one likes people who blow their own trumpets. The problem is, this can swing the other way, so we tend to under-teach the value of having courage in our conviction­s. It’s never OK to let people walk over you, but the lines can be blurry and indistinct. Have you oversteppe­d the mark? Were you acting reasonably? You know the answer. Honour yourself today. Your in-depth weekahead forecast lasts four minutes. It could be one of the most rewarding calls you make. Call 0906 751 5605.

VIRGO Aug 24 — Sep 23

WE ALL need a break every now and then. A holiday, a weekend away or simply a couple of minutes breathing space to get our thoughts in order. The difference it makes can be powerful. With the pace of life cranked up to 110 per cent nowadays, the challenge is finding time to relax. But just because it’s not obvious doesn’t mean that we can forget to seek it. Though I can’t promise that a trip to the Maldives is on the cards, the space you’re craving is there if you’re willing to take it. It will make a world of difference. Make this week special.

LIBRA Sep 24 — Oct 23

THE traditiona­l Libran image is, as I’m sure you know, a pair of scales. The idea, is that you are pre-occupied with fairness, and if someone needs to make a call in a difficult situation, your judgment can be called upon. So why does life often feel so unfair? Why does it seem that for all your impartiali­ty and good behaviour you’re rewarded with piety rather than prosperity? Life tempts you to tip the scales. Go far enough to redress the balance, and you’ll feel unburdened at last. Your in-depth week- ahead forecast lasts four minutes. It could be one of the most rewarding calls you make. Call 0906 751 5607.

SCORPIO Oct 24 — Nov 22

PEOPLE feel strongly about ventriloqu­ists. Some suspend their disbelief with amazement as they watch a dummy ‘speak’ in a myriad of accents. For others, it’s the stuff of nightmares. They’ve seen enough horror films to know that voice-throwing antics never end well. Could this fear come from something closer to home? We all know people who seem to be able to influence others easily. Being cajoled into saying things you don’t really mean leaves you feeling hellish. Don’t be easily swayed today.

SAGITTARIU­S Nov 23 — Dec 21

KNOW your limitation­s, accept reality, be pragmatic, live within your means. But if the White Queen in Alice Through The Looking Glass could believe six impossible things before breakfast, why can’t we? Once we push back at self-imposed boundaries, they often give way. This isn’t the time to abandon a plan, a dream or a relationsh­ip. Instead, muster all your resources, give it another shot, and you might find the White Queen isn’t the only one with magic powers. Your in-depth week- ahead forecast lasts four minutes. It could be one of the most rewarding calls you make. Call 0906 751 5609.

CAPRICORN Dec 22 — Jan 20

I SUSPECT that you might get a little tired of hearing me tell you the same thing this week. No one likes repetition, but there’s not a lot I can do about that. The universe has a simple message for you, and it’s being rather emphatic about it. My job is to relay it to you: with Venus changing signs, your need to control a situation (that has been the source of great stress), is less than you think. Save your energy. Instead be alert to opportunit­ies. Your big chance will present itself. Make this week special. To discover some priceless informatio­n that can create the change you really need, call 0906 751 5610.

AQUARIUS Jan 21 — Feb 19

AH! That’s better! Following Jupiter’s encouragin­g link with your traditiona­l ruler Saturn, you begin to feel more in control. Recently it seems as thought life has swept you along with little regard for your feelings. Try as you might, you’ve been unable to effect any change at all. Buffeted this way, thrown that, you’re left dizzy and confused. Yet though the tide might not yet have turned completely, you’re well on your way back to normality. Things are looking up. Your in-depth weekahead forecast lasts four minutes. It could be one of the most rewarding calls you make. Call 0906 751 5611.

PISCES Feb 20 — Mar 20

THERE are two types of people in our worlds: the people we know and the people we love. Perhaps that seems like an over-simplifica­tion. After all, in some cases we also love the people we know. But we put up barriers that stop us ever completely knowing the people we love and simultaneo­usly stop them from seeing every part of us. What if when everything is revealed we don’t love them any more? Or, worse, they don’t love us? Be brave enough to break down some of those walls, today. Make this week special. To discover some priceless informatio­n that can create the change you really need, call 0906 751 5612.
