YOUR STARS

Last year, the artist Banksy hid a remote control machine in a picture frame, and used it to shred his work moments after it was auctioned at Sotheby’s. But it malfunctioned and stopped midway and the artwork became even more valuable. We hear of people making sacrifices for their art; but more often than not, it’s just the price that needs to be paid for creativity. As Venus prepares to converge with Neptune, even though letting go of something we value is never easy, it will be worth it. Inspiration will follow.

When we’re in the right mood and the right place, we find it easy to learn valuable lessons. We’re ready to absorb new information and adapt our behaviour accordingly. At other times though, life’s endless challenges can baffle us. There’s always a new hurdle to jump or an idea to grasp, yet more often than not, we back away from such opportunities. If you take the chance to grab hold of an obstacle, you’ll find that you can move it aside. Then a constructive new attitude will move you forwards. In a time of celestial creativity, you can transform your life. Call 1900 959 005.

LEO JUL 24 - AUG 23

When you care about something, it doesn’t matter if you’re the only person on the planet who feels that way. While it’s nice to be supported, don’t let anyone’s disinterest persuade you that your cause isn’t valuable. If anything, take it as an excuse to redouble your efforts. You believe in this project for a reason; your principles are strong and your heart is determined. You, and only you, have the power to defend your ambitions today. As soon as you stand up for what you feel, you’ll find the backing you need. In a time of celestial creativity, you can transform your life. Call 1900 959 005.

SAGITTARIUS NOV 23 - DEC 21

It might seem as if jazz musicians just go with the flow and improvise, but it’s not quite that simple. They don’t just pick up their instruments and play. Like all artists, they respond with sensitivity to their environment and are influenced by emotions and surroundings. You’re right to be taking your feelings seriously now, even if they are hard to understand. As Venus and Neptune move into an intense relationship, you can draw on a past experience and use knowledge intuitively. Play spontaneously today. In a time of celestial creativity, you can transform your life. Call 1900 959 005.

TAURUS APR 21 - MAY 21

Have you noticed that when people have an answer for everything, it’s almost always the wrong one? Not that that stops them shouting it from the hilltops! Other folk are more prudent. They analyse the details, and consider every avenue even when the answer is staring them in the face. Common sense is not as common as it sounds. Even though you might have it in abundance, it’s not something that can be taught. Follow your judgment as your ruler prepares to link with Neptune. It’s spot on. In a time of celestial creativity, you can transform your life. Call 1900 959 005.

VIRGO AUG 24 - SEP 23

You’re living in a time of magic and miracles. So rather than waste time lamenting the impossible - get out there and pull a rabbit out of a battered old hat! What a ridiculous thing to suggest, I hear you say. Surely I know that all magic tricks are sleight of hand and illusion? But, that’s the point! Nothing makes reality real, except for the fact that we all collude in believing in it! As Venus and Neptune move closer, take this opportunity to blow a dull situation wide open - and construct another in its place. In a time of celestial creativity, you can transform your life. Call 1900 959 005.

CAPRICORN DEC 22 - JAN 20

Our days are framed by sunrises and sunsets. These patterns, which are an intrinsic part of our lives, guide us through the apparent abstract qualities of our daily lives. Bound by their regularity, we are free to make changes and do things in a different way. If we miss one opportunity, we can seize the next. Or, we can decide to put our feet up and put things off for another day. Yet, you don’t need to waste your time doing that. You can afford to look forward with enthusiasm. The future is welcoming. In a time of celestial creativity, you can transform your life. Call 1900 959 005.

GEMINI MAY 22 - JUN 22

No matter what we humans get up to, this ball of rock keeps on spinning. And, despite our scientific explanations, analysis and wisdom, we still have no clue as to why we’re here or what we’re supposed to be doing. That doesn’t seem to stop people from making all sorts of assumptions about ‘the meaning of life’ and that kind of thing. But no matter how frustrated you may be feeling, there’s no reason to follow their example. Gratitude will take you far; and you’ll have much to be thankful for today. In a time of celestial creativity, you can transform your life. Call 1900 959 005.

LIBRA SEP 24 - OCT 23

Do you really need to read your prediction, or can you look at someone else’s? Well, it’s a bit like living in someone’s home instead of your own. Your unique sense of identity is important and vital to your wellbeing; and to feel comfortable in your life, you need to nurture your individuality. As Venus and Neptune prepare to link, you’re in a situation which suits you, but is a source of stress to someone else. If you focus on honouring your own needs, you’ll give them permission to honour theirs. In a time of celestial creativity, you can transform your life. Call 1900 959 005.

AQUARIUS JAN 21 - FEB 19

Our society is built on power structures. Managers report to their managers, and they answer to someone with even more power. So, who is sitting at the top of the ladder? Whose voice must be taken as authority? Who’s too powerful to be questioned? To investigate that effectively, it’s no good thinking universally. Instead, let’s consider the power dynamics in your life. Someone is subjecting you to unfair and unreasonable restraints. It’s time to break free of those chains. In a time of celestial creativity, you can transform your life. Call 1900 959 005.

CANCER JUN 23 - JUL 23

It’s as if the starter pistol has fired and you’re off! It all happened so fast you seem to have gone from stationary to sprinting, and you hardly knew you were out of the starting blocks. Luckily you know how to cope with a sudden input of information, and can process and react with speed and skill. You’re beginning to realise that a desired objective might be within reach. In order to stand any chance of making that happen though, you’re going to have to move as fast as you can. You’ve got this! In a time of celestial creativity, you can transform your life. Call 1900 959 005.

OCT 24 - NOV 22

What should we concentrate on today? The craziness of your current situation, or its inspiring side? As Venus and Neptune prepare to link, there’s one important factor that needs to be considered … there are indications that you’re about to do the exact right thing, at the right time, in the right place. I know that sounds almost too good to be true. But, when you’ve worked as hard as you, and taken so much into consideration, it is payment in kind. You’ve got more blessings than you think. In a time of celestial creativity, you can transform your life. Call 1900 959 005.

PISCES FEB 20 - MAR 20

Someone’s insisting on taking the road most travelled, and creating a situation in which you’re caught in a tangled web of procedure. A ‘possibility’ is generating a huge amount of fuss even though it hasn’t ever happened before and isn’t ever likely to. Oddly, you’re expending more energy debating hypotheticals than you would spend dealing with the actual event! If it was your choice, you’d choose action. But, as Venus and Neptune prepare to converge, give people time to talk things through. In a time of celestial creativity, you can transform your life. Call 1900 959 005.
