ARIES MAR 21 - APR 20

We all know someone who always has the same problem every time we speak to them. We’ve given them advice more times than we can count and there’s only so many times we can say the same thing. It’s almost as if they’ve grown so attached to their angst that they can’t bear to let it go. Whilst there’s something comforting in the familiarit­y of a known quantity even a negative one - it’s important not to get stuck in a rut. Only action can solve your particular predicamen­t. I suspect that might be a relief!

LEO JUL 24 - AUG 23

People often get nervous when they see a police car. Even when our records are clean, we’ve never shoplifted, or been caught speeding, we instinctiv­ely begin to think about our recent activities. Did we do something we shouldn’t have? Could anyone have accused us of anything? Sometimes it’s this misplaced guilt that proves to be the very thing that might arouse suspicion. It’s worth rememberin­g this tendency now. And it’s also worth noting that you have done nothing you need to apologise for.

SAGITTARIU­S NOV 23 - DEC 21

Would you believe someone if they told you that there’s a product in stores now that can solve all your problems? Not only yours, but the whole world’s! You just slather it on - it’s cream-based, with a consistenc­y like sun lotion - and voila! Woes be gone, as if by magic. Of course you wouldn’t, though you might hope. Sadly, no such magic cure-all exists. That doesn’t mean, though, that there is no answer to the problem you face today. You already have what you’re looking for. Change your future in this magical time between eclipses: 1900 959 005. Venus made an encouragin­g alignment with rebellious Uranus yesterday. This weekend, the planet of love changes signs, creating a very different flavour to her influence in our lives. She’s been in Aquarius, where her attitude towards love and money required specific progress in order to feel satisfacti­on. Now, as she enters Pisces, we’ll find conditions lend themselves more readily to going with the flow. That’s good news - especially as we have time to influence the direction the energy is moving in.

TAURUS APR 21 - MAY 21

They say that Thursday is the new Friday… so the weekend begins now! And, it doesn’t need to end on Monday for you! The influence of Venus, soon to enter a new sign, will reverberat­e and set events in motion that will define and influence your direction for a while. That’s no reason to start feeling pressurise­d. As long as you base your choices on inspiratio­n, ambition and your uniqueness, you’ll be headed in the right direction. Be sensitive enough to follow your intuition and trust in what unfolds.

VIRGO AUG 24 - SEP 23

One of the difficult things about being a parent is dealing with the chaos. Having Virgo on my ascendant, I prefer living in a home where everything stays in its place. So when all the pens have been used as swords and there’s nothing to write an important number down with, a small part of me doesn’t know whether to weep or shout. But I also know that ‘messy play’ is an essential way for my son to experiment, learn and ultimately grow. Today, look for a hidden benefit in a disruptive environmen­t.

CAPRICORN DEC 22 - JAN 20

We read scary things in the papers about the world economy. Some predict that banking systems will collapse under the weight of increasing debt. But these scaremonge­ring fears shouldn’t be taken seriously. There may be a few bumps on the way but the prospects for a (relatively) smooth financial future are good. Don’t let fears for your future dominate your decisions now. You’re striving to protect something when it may be better to let it go and move forward unencumber­ed.

GEMINI MAY 22 - JUN 22

I’ve discovered just how careful you have to be with the ‘favourites’ selection on a Satnav. With fingers like mine, it’s easy to select a saved destinatio­n that’s adjacent to the one I want. Then, even if I suspect I’m heading the wrong way, I trust that I’m following strange traffic-minimising routes, rather than realising that I’m being misled by the friendly voice. No one’s trying to trick you now, but make sure you’re on the same page as your fellow travellers. Someone has ingenious directions to follow.

LIBRA SEP 24 - OCT 23

Somewhere in your life there’s a situation that you’re desperate to change. The problem is, you’re unsure how much influence you have over these events. You could splash about and see how far the ripples you make will carry... but if other people are in the water with you, how can you tell which ripples you’re making? Rest assured, your actions are having an effect. Although you’re not achieving everything you might wish just yet, that’s all the more reason to keep working on it.

A gathering of VIPs got to see what lies in store for the future Home of the Arts complex in Bundall

HOTA (HOME OF THE ARTS) LAUNCH Bundall

WHAT’S in a name? If you are HOTA – the acronym stands for Home of the Arts – quite a lot. The (old) Gold Coast Arts Centre is undergoing a massive transforma­tion and on Monday night selected VIPs were given a run down over the plans for the future. A new name, the official unveiling of the $40 million outdoor entertainm­ent areas and the announceme­nt of several world class events which will hit the stage in the next few months. Rather than focusing on where your plan has gone wrong, might I suggest that you would be far more productive if you scrapped it altogether? Without being restricted by a flounderin­g strategy, you’re free to re-establish your priorities. Why rush to replace one inflexible system with another? Go with the flow. There’s a definitive answer but it won’t be found through scientific calculatio­ns or practical assessment­s. Instead, allow yourself to feel the gentle pull of the universe. It’ll guide you on your way.

CANCER JUN 23 - JUL 23

What don’t you know? It’s a very difficult question to answer because how can you know what you don’t know? On the one hand, you might be sure that you’re on top of a subject - only to be confounded by a difficult question. On the other, you may doubt your knowledge, then surprise yourself with the right answer. What you face at the moment are ‘known unknowns’. But that’s is no reason to be consumed by self-doubt. Being willing to admit to ignorance is the first step on a journey of discovery.

OCT 24 - NOV 22

Most of us have irrational fears. There are people who are afraid of clowns, others who are scared of the number 13, and even people who can’t stand buttons. Some will claim that their phobia is perfectly rational - those who hate flying say that sitting in a tube at 40,000 feet up is unnatural! Yet many of our anxieties are self-created. Don’t waste your energy running away from a monster who only exists in your imaginatio­n. You have far better, and more creative ways to use your powers.

PISCES FEB 20 - MAR 20

We can be our own fiercest supporters or most vicious critics. It’s easy to be kind to ourselves when we’re feeling on top of the world… but when we’re feeling insecure, harsh self-talk comes easily. Yet surely, it should be the other way around! On rainy days, we need to be as nurturing with ourselves as we would be with a friend. Kicking someone when they’re already down won’t motivate them to want to get back up, so why do we do it to ourselves? Treat yourself today.
