A eureka moment arrives
YOUR HOROSCOPE FOR THE WEEK BEGINNING 24 MARCH 2019
Creativity and audacity are in the air. Mercury has been moving backwards and creating mild confusion. Now it is slowing to a halt and linking with a plethora of planets, all offering celestial support. The planet of communication’s change of direction at the end of the week will be felt like a ‘Eureka moment’ as imaginative thoughts find pragmatic ways to change the future. With the planet of love joining Mercury in Pisces, sensitivity is infused with innovation, bringing the promise of harmonious dialogue with surprisingly positive results.
ARIES March 21-April 20
A few years ago, as I sat next to a pilot in a dual-control plane, he let me have a go at flying. In the safe knowledge that he could take over in an instant, it felt exhilarating to manoeuvre in the sky for a few minutes. But it was very obvious that only the expert could get us down safely. It’s surprisingly easy to feel as if we’re more capable than our experience merits. The cosmos, this week, is in the process of showing you something. Don’t feel that you need to rush. Allow yourself time to learn, and don’t be too proud to seek assistance.
IN YOUR LOVE LIFE: Even if you sense a lack of support, events this week will inspire you. Something up there loves you after all.
TAURUS April 21-May 21
J ust because things aren’t going quite as you’d planned in one area, you’re tempted to assume that everything’s going badly. This week brings a reminder that you can nip any negative thoughts in the bud. The last thing you need is a gloomy self-fulfilling prophecy. The reality, is that the problem you’re facing stands alone. If you can isolate it from the rest of your thoughts you can stay cheerful about other matters. Although there will be moments of tension, there’s a cosmic promise of potential magical resolutions too. IN YOUR LOVE LIFE: A small change of awareness and a new understanding, this week, will bring enormous material and emotional advantages.
GEMINI May 22-June 22
A re you in the mood to stick to your intended route or does the idea of a magical mystery tour take your fancy? As your ruler slows to a halt, you’re finding yourself feeling uncharacteristically pulled towards following the scheduled path. That’s understandable; you’ve got a specific goal in mind. Yet, if you find yourself wandering off your chosen route, there’s no need to worry. You’re being invigorated by a kindly sky. As Mercury moves forward, serendipitous moments will arrive. Stay open-minded this week.
IN YOUR LOVE LIFE: Events this week, bring a rare chance to make a personal involvement more meaningful and to lift a restriction.
LEO July 24-August 23
B uzz Lightyear, from Toy Story, is such a likeable character. Although his mission, 'to infinity and beyond' is never going to be achievable, his optimism is contagious. In truth, since we're all already part of infinity, we don't need to go beyond it. In a similar way, you're being empowered to see beyond a restriction that's been holding you back. The challenge is to realise the potential you already have. You have everything you need to succeed. By proclaiming what seems to be impossible, you'll discover how to achieve it.
IN YOUR LOVE LIFE: Conflicted between your head and your heart? Stop seeking a 'perfect' solution. Isn't there something right about what's wrong?
LIBRA September 24-October 23
N o matter how kind a teacher might be, they need to have the authority to keep their class under control. If they allow just one child to get away with something, there’s a chance that the rest will follow suit. That’s why we learn to behave in the same way as other people and fear the consequences of stepping out of line. We have an in-built nervousness of authority figures and can be too quick to do what we’re told. This week, as Mercury changes direction, you’re encouraged to be a bit more rebellious. You might find that you enjoy it!
IN YOUR LOVE LIFE: Can that fantasy come true? If ever there were a chance of this delightful development, it would be sometime soon.
VIRGO August 24-September 23
W ithout meaning to, in the search for reason, we can sometimes find ourselves in an extreme position. In the quest for quiet, we can raise our voices. Or we can take simplicity to new lengths of complication! You probably know where your forecast is heading. Even when your ruler slows down, you’re quick off the mark and able to anticipate people’s thoughts. Yet, in the run-up to it moving forward again, take care that you don’t jump too far ahead. In one area, where you think you haven’t done enough, you have.
IN YOUR LOVE LIFE: It’s time for sincere communication. Be clear, be fair, be truthful. This will elicit a straightforward response that is helpful.
SCORPIO October 24-November 22
E ven the cleverest people can’t think as fast as they’d like. Our brains function in a methodical way; their default activity is to process information rather than create it. Our heart works faster. Not only does it know the answers before the questions have been asked, but it’s always correct. It’s just that our mind often insists that it knows best. As Mercury slows down before changing direction, it’s worth bearing this in mind. You’ve already reached a good decision. It’s just that you’re struggling to reconcile it.
IN YOUR LOVE LIFE: An exceptional outlook, due, not least, to Mercury’s fast-approaching change of direction. The cosmos will take care of you.
CAPRICORN December 22-January 20
If you’re waiting for someone to come to see things the way you want them to, you may have a while to wait. Even if you were able to shine a bright light into the shadows of their fear, they might not be able to discern the potential. So, you’re going to have to harness your growing clarity and make a decision by yourself. You don’t really need anyone’s approval. Neither are you dependent on anyone for their support. Although you’d appreciate some help, you have the wherewithal to move ahead on your own for now. You won’t regret it.
IN YOUR LOVE LIFE: You know what you have to do. You started the journey some long while ago. Progress will be slow... but steady.
AQUARIUS January 21-February 19
When we’re little, although parts of us don’t know very much, other parts know plenty. We go to school, where our heads are filled with information, whilst our overlooked, inner voice grows ever more quiet. It’s little wonder that we hardly remember what we once knew. Mercury’s movements are reminding you of the wisdom you have at your disposal. An intuitive idea, growing from the very essence of your being, is reaching up and making itself known to you. Be attentive and allow yourself to be guided this week.
IN YOUR LOVE LIFE: A moment may come where you have to make a gesture of faith in someone. Your heart knows more than your head. Trust it!
PISCES February 20-March 20
Are you anticipating a tricky week? Do you need to be prepared for a stressfully tense and troublesome time? Definitely not! As Venus enters your sign, it offers support and encouragement. Challenges find their way into our lives more swiftly when they know that we’re preparing a space for them. As long as you can embrace and nurture the optimism that’s being offered, you’ll be able to work on the assumption that there’s nothing you can’t cope with. Then, you’ll realise that this maxim is true: all is well.
IN YOUR LOVE LIFE: The planet of love joins Mercury in Pisces. That’s a big advantage, both materially and emotionally. You’re set for a fine week.
