YOUR STARS

Dear Oscar, Recently, promising opportunities seem to appear and then vanish or change into something unexpected. It’s frustrating! I’ve read that it’s something to do with Neptune. Is it? Yours Harry Dear Harry, Scorpio, which is associated with financial investments, has hosted Jupiter (planet of wealth), since October; and Neptune has been making links with Jupiter since December. This fascinating dynamic creates unimagined golden possibilities, which are as elusive as quicksilver! Let’s hope that when they align again this week, Saturn’s link with Venus will provide welcome stability. Oscar

ARIES MAR 21 - APR 20

It’s astonishing how much talking we can do without ever communicating the crux of an issue. Conversely, we might think we have a trusting relationship with someone only to discover that there’s an unbreachable area of misunderstanding. You’re not about to discover a gulf where you thought there was appreciation. Quite the opposite! You’re on the verge of realising why someone who’s been on the fringe of your life is having greater impact. This connection will be more valuable than you imagine. There’s excitement in the air as the planets align. For inspiration, call 1900 959 005.

LEO JUL 24 - AUG 23

We want to feel as if we’re appreciated for who we are. Being respected makes us feel valued. Yet it’s more unusual than we’d like. More often, life feels like a series of hurdles that we need to jump over, difficulties that must be dodged and obstacles that need navigating. If your ambitions were lower it would be easier. But you can’t change what you want for the sake of other people. The Sun’s new position suggests that people are beginning to understand you and will help you get what you want. There’s excitement in the air as the planets align. For inspiration, call 1900 959 005.

SAGITTARIUS NOV 23 - DEC 21

Are you sitting comfortably? To benefit the most from this forecast it would be helpful if you were able to relax. So try taking a deep breath in and notice how the air fills your lungs before you gently release it. Even the simplest of things, like breathing, can be a source of pleasure. We take so many things for granted. Your breath brings you life. And your life is a gift! As Jupiter prepares to make alignments with Mercury and Neptune, you can treasure all that’s good about your life today. There’s excitement in the air as the planets align. For inspiration, call 1900 959 005.

TAURUS APR 21 - MAY 21

Our personalities change over the years. We might think that we stay the same but our life experiences soften us. We can’t help but grow a little wiser and more mellow with age. That’s a reason to celebrate! Even though it might take a long time, there is always hope that feuds will be settled and conflicts resolved. Since you’ve made progress recently in the way you respond to a challenging situation, you’re able to communicate more easily now. A problematic relationship is becoming productive. There’s much to anticipate this week. For valuable news, call 1900 959 005.

VIRGO AUG 24 - SEP 23

If I were to tell you that there’s an adventure awaiting, what kind of escapade would you choose? Would you embark on one with only a few, well-calculated risks, where the destination is known in advance? One with a clear set of defined boundaries beyond which you won’t need to step? That doesn’t sound very adventurous! Your current journey is on a path into uncharted territory. Yes, it’s challenging. Yes, your adrenalin levels are raised. But it’s full of potential. Keep on keeping on! There’s much to anticipate this week. For valuable news, call 1900 959 005.

CAPRICORN DEC 22 - JAN 20

Life feels hard when people don’t take the time to understand your point of view. Things tend to flow with more ease whenever someone takes time to listen and you feel supported and understood. We tend to forget that just as negativity is contagious, so is positivity. Today, if you want to be treated in a certain way, demonstrate that emotion. With Venus opposite your sign and Mercury about to oppose Jupiter, the more generous you can be, the higher the chances of you attracting kindness. There’s much to anticipate this week. For valuable news, call 1900 959 005.

GEMINI MAY 22 - JUN 22

Imagine planet Earth like a roundabout, looping around the brightest star in the sky, with us on board like passengers on the ultimate cosmic ride. Life, with its ups and downs, is like a merry-go-round. The problem is that we often forget to smile! It also slips our minds that life is a cycle and that things come round again. Jupiter opposite your ruler, and the Sun in your sign, suggest that your sense of power is growing and that there’s a possibility of returning to a feeling you thought you’d lost. There’s excitement in the air as the planets align. For inspiration, call 1900 959 005.

LIBRA SEP 24 - OCT 23

Unless you’re a botanist you’d probably find it hard to distinguish between a sprouting tree and a weed. Just to obfuscate the matter, the tree might grow much more slowly. It would be easy to dismiss it as being a less successful plant. In order to make a proper assessment, you’d need to think about what promise both plants hold for the future. In your life now, you may be feeling anxious to see results faster than they seem to be happening. But you’ve invested in something positive. Just be a little more patient. There’s excitement in the air as the planets align. For inspiration, call 1900 959 005.

AQUARIUS

JAN 21 - FEB 19

The art of improvising is so liberating that we should all learn to do it. Rather than leave it to jazz musicians and good cooks, the art of taking a basic form and then meandering off it and returning when it feels right is a skill that would benefit us all. This is worth considering as you now assess the options available to you. For a while now, you’ve been tempted to run with a creative idea. Now that circumstances have changed, this is the right time for some spontaneous improvisation to begin. There’s excitement in the air as the planets align. For inspiration, call 1900 959 005.

CANCER JUN 23 - JUL 23

Excuse me, I have a question for you. Can you recall your reason for being here on planet Earth? Was there a grand celestial plan that somehow, through the excitement of being born into a human body and having to slowly learn all the skills you needed to function in this exciting world, you’ve forgotten? Venus, as it begins its sojourn in your sign, is here to remind you that one of the most important reasons for being alive is to enjoy yourself. That’s exactly what you can now begin to do. There’s much to anticipate this week. For valuable news, call 1900 959 005.

SCORPIO OCT 24 - NOV 22

We know the word ‘abracadabra’ from fairy tales. Yet it used to be an extremely potent magic word that was used with great care. It could unleash powerful forces that needed to be treated with great respect. Words are powerful. Deep down, we haven’t forgotten this. There are still phrases that we utter with caution and others that we repeat because we find them comforting. As Mercury prepares to oppose Jupiter in your sign, if you find the right words, they can have a magical effect. There’s much to anticipate this week. For valuable news, call 1900 959 005.

PISCES FEB 20 - MAR 20

What would we find to talk about if we didn’t have weather? It’s certainly the biggest ice-breaker on the planet! Conversations don’t have to be meaningful in order to be pleasurable. Sometimes, a little banter about the day’s meteorology is all it takes for us to feel as if we’re relating to the world in a positive way. As long as the communication channels are open, there’s the possibility that we can talk about the things that really matter. A profound insight can emerge from a trivial exchange today. There’s much to anticipate this week. For valuable news, call 1900 959 005.
