YOUR STARS

Yesterday, I compared Jupiter’s Sagittarian visit to Caesar entering Rome. But it’s not about pomp and circumstance. Roman generals were often accompanied by gladiators who would whisper, ‘remember you’re (only) a man’ into their ears. And so, this is a good moment to remind ourselves of the excesses Jupiter likes to indulge in. Still, the planet of luck’s arrival in its own sign is an emphatic, positive development. With Venus and Mars aligning harmoniously today, heart’s desires have rarely been more attainable. ARIES MAR 21 - APR 20

Nobody is right all of the time. Nor, despite what we might like to think, are any of us always wrong. And, sometimes the most fruitful conversations occur in the most inconvenient and unusual situations. Imagine what happens when someone whose reputation for misjudging things makes an unlikely prediction and gets it right. Or the other way round. At such moments, we need to follow our hearts. This weekend, after your ruler’s link to Venus, pay close attention to what’s being said… and follow yours. Want to know how things can work out well? Call 1900 959 005.

LEO JUL 24 - AUG 23

‘It’s better the devil you know’ is a lyric to a Kylie Minogue song. But what if the unknown devil’s not such a devil after all? When you’re certain that your choice is between two devils, the logical conclusion is that you know both of them. Yet, when you’re only in possession of half the facts, how can you really know what’s what? The weekend brings an opportunity to escape from an ingrained habit. Although there’s no way to know which choice is right, you do know which is bad for you. That’s the one to avoid. Find out how the Cosmos can help you this week. Call 1900 959 005.

SAGITTARIUS NOV 23 - DEC 21

Magic mirrors are part of our cultural tradition. Though stories about them have been told for hundreds of years, they haven’t lost their power to impress… so much so that we all have magic mirrors of our own. Just because when you glance into yours, and secretly ask it ‘who’s the fairest of them all?’ you don’t hear a response, doesn’t mean there’s something wrong with you. You’ve just got a faulty mirror! With your ruler in your sign, this is no time to doubt that, both inside and out, you’re the fairest of them all. Get what you want, not what you don’t want. Call 1900 959 005.

TAURUS APR 21 - MAY 21

Imagine if you had the misfortune to live right in the middle of the English countryside, but that you absolutely detested the colour green. Each day, you’d look out of your window and be face to face with something you disliked. To change the situation you’d either have to relocate to somewhere hotter (or less rural), or learn to like the colour. This weekend, following your ruler’s link with Mars, you have an opportunity to learn to like something (or someone). It’s going to be the easiest way to proceed. Regardless of the problem, there’s an answer. Call 1900 959 005.

VIRGO AUG 24 - SEP 23

High standards. What’s the point in trying so hard to maintain them when so few of the people in your life seem to appreciate the effort you’re making? Even those folk who recognise your endeavours don’t seem to adhere to the same benchmarks as you. Is it just that you care too much? Are you being overly precious? Or, is everyone else just being idle? This weekend, following so much positive cosmic activity, don’t be distracted by trivial matters. You’re about to be rewarded for doing your best. Do you want to know how things can work out well? Call 1900 959 005.

CAPRICORN DEC 22 - JAN 20

When Carole King sang, ‘You just call out my name, and you know wherever I am. I’ll come running, to see you again’, she expressed a feeling of love and friendship that we all aspire to. There’s no doubt that you appreciate your nearest and dearest and that you go out of your way to be as supportive as you can. But, is there someone in your world who will drop what they’re doing just to be with you? Yes there is. This weekend, following today’s Mars and Venus link, you’ll know that you’ve got a friend. Feeling fed up? Don’t be! To find out where hope lies, call 1900 959 005.

GEMINI MAY 22 - JUN 22

The world is full of forms that need to be filled out and boxes that must be checked. At this rate, when we get to the pearly white gates, we’ll be provided with a pen and a paper, and have to complete a questionnaire about our earthly experience (with marks deducted for giving what we consider to be the ‘right’ answers). You’re struggling to know what to say to answer someone’s questions and fulfil their demands. What should you do? Simply do your best. No one can ask for more. Get what you want, not what you don’t want. Call 1900 959 005.

LIBRA SEP 24 - OCT 23

Irrespective of what’s preoccupying you, you’ve got to be sensible and business-like today. Your emotions might be powerful, intense and almost impossible to overrule, but they mustn’t dictate your final decision. Facts are facts. And they won’t be altered by dialogue or debate. As Venus and Mars link, it’s time to stop fretting and apply your energy in a more constructive way. If you assess the best course of action, you can put your capable negotiating powers to very good use. Want to know how things can work out well? Call 1900 959 005.

AQUARIUS JAN 21 - FEB 19

Fashion is famously fickle. If one person steps out in an outrageous outfit, the rest of us gasp in horror. If another person follows suit, they’re both considered to be eccentric. Yet, if an idea gradually takes hold, before you know it, everyone’s wearing it and those original buyers are seen as visionaries. As a new mood or expectation comes into your consciousness, you’re not obliged to welcome it with open arms. But, if you allow it some time to grow on you, you might find that it suits you very well. Find out how the Cosmos can help you this week. Call 1900 959 005.

CANCER JUN 23 - JUL 23

People who excel in the retail business have several valuable talents. Firstly, they intuitively know what their clients most want to hear. Then they find a way of making their product fit their customers’ requirements. Although that means that they have excellent persuasive skills, it puts a necessary questionmark over the honesty of their level of empathy. This weekend, if you find yourself caught in a convincing argument, try to take a step back and think about your own interests too. Feeling fed up? Don’t be! To find out where hope lies, call 1900 959 005.

SCORPIO OCT 24 - NOV 22

Even at the end of a very successful day we can sometimes feel low and ineffective. On other days, we can be exhausted by having to dodge metaphorical bullets, yet still have energy to spare. Sometimes, the disparity in emotional wellbeing is caused by psychological or physiological changes, but it is also subject to the effects of the astrological climate. Today, as Venus links to Mars, it brings a reminder of all that you have to be grateful for. Get ready to be blessed with a reason to smile. Regardless of the problem, there’s an answer. Call 1900 959 005.

PISCES FEB 20 - MAR 20

Why can’t life be like it is in those feel-good movies we love to watch? Where are our grand quests and exciting escapades? Where are our fairytale moments? They are there, of course. It’s just that they’re less frequent and less spell-bindingly intense than the screen version. But just because your life is less dramatic doesn’t mean that you’ve failed. There’s a vast gulf between fact and fiction. You have something to be deeply thankful for, today. Don’t be tempted to belittle it by drawing false comparisons. Do you want to know how things can work out well? Call 1900 959 005.
