YOUR STARS

Vantablack S-VIS is the world’s blackest material, so dark that the details of the objects disappear. It’s the closest thing to staring into a black hole. Even without this paint, sometimes we can feel like we’re staring into one of those! It’s when fear’s gravitational pull takes control of our emotions. Friday the 13th’s powerful eclipse is an opportunity to break any such grip. A change of perspective today will enable us to see that there’s nothing to be scared about.

ARIES MAR 21 - APR 20

Have you seen those cookery shows when the contestants are given the ingredients but no recipe? You’re facing a similar challenge now. You have an interesting selection of components but are going to have to work out how much you need of each one, and how you’re going to combine them in order to achieve the best cake. I mean, outcome. Your judgment is being called for. Which is a good thing because, on Friday the 13th, under today’s eclipse, yours is being empowered.

We have so much to learn from the generosity of nature. Whereas we’re often intolerant of mistakes, nature is bountiful and encourages even tiny shoots. She’s full of variation, changing seasons and weather patterns… and adapts to our attempts to control. Let’s not forget that she creates and sustains life too. Today, Friday the 13th, she brings a partial Solar Eclipse combined with a Grand Trine. The change in your life might be difficult at first, but it leads to renewal and joy.

GEMINI MAY 22 - JUN 22

How are your relationships going? What’s the state of your finances? Are you expressing your creativity? Is your life filled with delightful, sweet and inspiring experiences yet? The partial Solar Eclipse occurs in the part of your chart that governs your sense of security, suggesting that, even though you may well be feeling a sense of impending doom, the reality is that you’re about to be rescued from a disagreeable scenario. It may be Friday the 13th, but don’t assess a situation negatively today. It’s Friday the 13th and a Solar Eclipse! Call 1900 959 005.

CANCER JUN 23 - JUL 23

There’s no guarantee that life will go according to plan. That’s why pessimism is so rife; people feel justified in preparing themselves for the worse possible scenario. Yet sometimes things turn out wonderfully right. The truth is that we don’t usually notice how well life is going until something appears to go wrong. Could Friday the 13th be a day for you to feel optimistic? Actually, the mood you’re in isn’t going to make a big difference – it’s the Solar Eclipse in your sign that brings hope this weekend.

LEO JUL 24 - AUG 23

Although it’s hard to believe, the world we inhabit isn’t real; it’s a buffer between two other worlds – the one we were in before we arrived here and the one we’re going on to. Every night we check into another one when we fall asleep and back into this one when the alarm goes off. Just as our dreams are fluid, so are our lives. You may be facing a situation that seems intransigent, but with a Solar Eclipse and an ongoing Grand Trine this weekend, you can change whatever you want. It’s Friday the 13th and a Solar Eclipse! Call 1900 959 005.

VIRGO AUG 24 - SEP 23

Welcome to the Grand Trine Eclipse. This weekend throws new light on your involvement with a group or a society, brings an opportunity for restructure, and a potential revelation about how your influence can help galvanise people into action. First, though, there’ll be a moment of tension, when questions arise. Solving the problem calls for you to leave behind a worn-out perspective and find a different vision. Once the problem has been solved, the solution will embrace a joyful, inclusive approach. It’s Friday the 13th and a Solar Eclipse! Call 1900 959 005.

LIBRA SEP 24 - OCT 23

All sorts of people and institutions create their own laws. Behaviour which is accepted in one place is not tolerated in another and, if you want to get on with the people in authority, you have to know what’s considered appropriate. Being caught out doing something ‘wrong’ is no fun; but we all enjoy getting away with things and beating the system. Today’s Solar Eclipse changes the power dynamic so you have control over a situation that usually seems to have control over you.

SCORPIO OCT 24 - NOV 22

With every day that passes you’re gaining deeper insight into a perplexing matter. Though it’s possible that you’ll never manage to totally understand one particularly stressful situation, you’re gaining helpful perspective. The actions of someone close to you are helping you to see the strengths of the other people involved in this scenario. Friday the 13th brings you the chance to trust both your assessment of this matter and accept the offers of support you receive as a result of the Solar Eclipse. It’s Friday the 13th and a Solar Eclipse! Call 1900 959 005.

SAGITTARIUS NOV 23 - DEC 21

Even to the experts, the rises and falls of the world’s financial markets are unpredictable. So, we’re free to blame the pessimistic TV pundits and poorly managed structures – or whoever we feel has the power to make poor decisions that affect our bank accounts. Then, when our economy improves, it’s fuelled by our growing sense of optimism, which is reflected on those same TV shows! It may be Friday the 13th, but the Grand Trine means that you can relax into a contagious aura of security this weekend.It’s Friday the 13th and a Solar Eclipse! Call 1900 959 005.

CAPRICORN DEC 22 - JAN 20

It’s obvious isn’t it? If you want to fit into the clothes you wore on your last holiday, you need to eat a bit less. If you want to feel less stressed, you need to reduce the number of items on your ‘to do’ list. If you want to feel less pressure, you need to accept a compromise or two. Of course, you’re free to shun any of these options. You can be as ambitious as you want. Yet as Friday the 13th brings an Eclipse opposite your sign, it’s a reminder that life doesn’t have to get hard before it gets easier. It’s Friday the 13th and a Solar Eclipse! Call 1900 959 005.

AQUARIUS JAN 21 - FEB 19

The Grand Trine that’s forming a perfect triangle in the sky involves Venus and your co-rulers; Saturn and Uranus. Just as they fall into place, along comes a partial Solar Eclipse opposite Pluto. It’s a star-studded celestial show. If the Grand Trine was the culmination of this weekend’s great music festival, Latitude, the Eclipse would be the opening song of headliner Solange as she kicks off the party. That’s a good indication of what the weekend holds for you. Fun, energy and creativity await.

PISCES FEB 20 - MAR 20

We’re such creatures of habit that we spend years sitting on the same piece of furniture, facing the same view. Then one day, it suddenly dawns on us that a simple move around can dramatically improve the vista. But, there’s no need to relocate or even throw things out and buy new furniture. It’s just a case of rearranging what you have. As the Solar Eclipse arrives this weekend, you can find an easy way to solve a nagging problem. Someone will be on hand to help you shift the furniture too! It’s Friday the 13th and a Solar Eclipse! Call 1900 959 005.
