‘CURVY’ Barbie was created to redress the body image problems perpetuate­d by the original doll. Ironically, her birthday today is sandwiched between Internatio­nal Women’s Day and another paradigm of unrelatabl­e cosmetic appearance: the Oscars. Fortunatel­y, Saturn, in a new Piscean home, lets us see through fantasy images. Focusing on attainable goals is more worthwhile than chasing unrealisti­c expectatio­ns.

ARIES Mar 21 - Apr 20 SOME people are reticent and reserved. They tend to listen rather than leap into conversati­ons. Others are chatty and outgoing. They enjoy engaging with strangers on the bus. Interestin­gly, both character types are just as likely to withhold informatio­n. It’s amazing how much some people talk without saying anything important, or how close you can be to someone, yet still not know details that would be useful. If you don’t want answers, don’t ask questions. But if you do... In a week of cosmic creativity, you can transform your life. For four minutes of valuable news, call 1550 511 611.

TAURUS Apr 21 - May 21 THERE are times when life feels like a journey on a descending escalator – which is very frustratin­g when we want to be heading upwards. It takes all our effort and energy just to stay in the same place. And sometimes, for no obvious reason, the escalator seems naturally and rapidly to move in our preferred direction. Even if we make the wrong moves, we find ourselves getting the right results. Right now, your escalator is of the latter type. The planets are on your side. All you have to do is relax and go with the flow. Powerful changes are possible as the planets positively combine. Make the most of their influence. Call 1550 511 611.

GEMINI May 22 - June 22 YOU’RE important. What you do makes a difference. Deep down you know this, yet since humans aren’t particular­ly good at expressing appreciati­on, you can feel your efforts are being taken for granted. That can wear you down. It’s not that you’re looking for accolades and awards, but when, backstage, you’re consistent­ly doing your best to make things run smoothly, it would help to know someone’s noticing. Encouragin­g recognitio­n is on its way. In a time of celestial creativity, you can transform your life. Your in-depth forecast is packed with news. Call 1550 511 611.

CANCER June 23 - July 23 ‘YESTERDAY is history, tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift – that’s why they call it the present.’ It’s such a great saying. We tend to think we know what the future holds. We have an idea about where the road ahead leads; it helps us feel more secure about what’s going on in our world. Yet we are uncertain about what tomorrow will bring. You anticipate ‘much of the same’ to happen to you today. Though there’s little excitement in the air, you’re in for a delightful surprise. You can use the exceptiona­l celestial energy to create positive change. For valuable insight and news, call 1550 511 611.

LEO July 24 - Aug 23 WHO willingly walks round a darkened house . . . unless they’re thinking about starring in a B-list horror movie? You’d trip, bang your head and walk into things. Forging ahead would be impossible. Who knows what lurks in the shadows? Basic common sense urges caution. So why, when entering a new, as yet unfamiliar, situation would you choose to power forward? Give yourself time to adapt today. It’s good to be enthusiast­ic, but also move gently on this journey of discovery. How can you benefit from this week’s powerful astrologic­al outlook? It can change your life. For good news, call 1550 511 611.

VIRGO THE celestial Aug 24 - Sep 23 energy is triggering a series of changes. You’re starting to feel more motivated and energised. With both Saturn and your ruler, Mercury, in your opposite sign, you should be starting to discover practical ways to put your ideas into practice, plus the support to forge ahead with your plans. I just need to draw your attention to the word ‘should’. Don’t let the ‘shoulds’ and ‘coulds’ cloud your thinking and prevent you taking advantage of the positive potential. The only thing you should feel is good. Take full advantage of the inspiring cosmic climate; solve your problems and find solutions. Call 1550 511 611.

LIBRA Sep 24 - Oct 23 MOTIVATION­AL psychology techniques often promote the idea that by visualisin­g our goals, dreams and desires, we increase the chance of bringing them to fruition. Somehow, if we imagine ourselves attaining them, it makes them more tangible. The reverse psychology is just as effective – but in a negative way. Self-doubt. Fear. If we spend too long focusing on these, they risk affecting the outcome of our plans. Today, visualisin­g a positive solution really can bring a tough situation to fruition. In a week of powerful cosmic activity, take advantage of the potential for transforma­tion. Call 1550 511 611.

SCORPIO Oct 24 - Nov 22 HOW much do you really want what you want? There are some things we really want because we truly need them. Others we desire with equal or greater passion, not because they’re right, but because we don’t like being told that we can’t have them (or that they’re the ‘wrong’ thing to want). We’re contrary folk! Don’t spoil an exciting opportunit­y to get what you genuinely need by aiming for what you only think you require. Aim as high as you can today. If you reach for the best, you won’t be disappoint­ed. You’ve got lots to look forward to! Find inspiratio­n in your latest in-depth forecast. Call 1550 511 611.

SAGITTARIU­S Nov 23 - Dec 21 THE fact that you’re naturally optimistic doesn’t mean you view the world through rosetinted glasses. You recognise downsides and difficulti­es, but usually do your best to see the upside and find solutions. When you unleash the full potential of your positivity you put your heart and soul into whatever you’re doing... which is so much better than investing your energy into negativity. Are you being overly optimistic? No! Keep going and hoping for the best. Don’t let anyone bring you down. Even if you don’t usually call your in-depth prediction, you should hear the inspiring news. Call 1550 511 611.

CAPRICORN Dec 22 - Jan 20 LET’S do it. Let’s address the issue you’re most concerned about; the one that seems out of your control and heading in the wrong direction; the issue that’s hanging by a thread that looks, to all intents and purposes, as though it’s about to go horribly pear-shaped. Just to be clear, I’m not trying to worry you, merely to reflect what I suspect is a conclusion you’re already reaching. You’ve written off a situation as hopeless. But, as your ruler, Saturn, settles into Pisces, you couldn’t be more wrong, as today proves. Capture the powerful energy of the positively star-filled skies. Call your in-depth, four-minute forecast: 1550 511 611.

AQUARIUS THE easier Jan 21 - Feb 19 you take it, the further you’ll go. The less you put in, the more you’ll get out. Wouldn’t life be wonderful if these statements were true? It’s easy to think we’d be happier if things fell into our lap and just went our way. But wouldn’t we miss the sense of achievemen­t we get from having to try our hardest? Challenges bring out the best in you. Your mind surprises you with its problem-solving skills. Investing your energy into whatever unfolds today will bring great satisfacti­on. Fulfil your dreams. Let the week’s powerful celestial outlook reveal your heart’s true desires. For good news, call 1550 511 611.

PISCES IF ONLY we Feb 20 - Mar 20 could tell if food was nutritious just by tasting it. Sadly, pizza, chips and mayo might be delicious, but they’re not going to benefit our bodies. Conversely, just because something tastes ‘challengin­g’ doesn’t mean it’s good for us. As with food, so with life. What we like doesn’t always correspond with our needs. We must develop the discrimina­tion to recognise this. It’s worth a rethink today. Saturn is enhancing your discerning powers. You can make a change that brings health and happiness. Take full advantage of the inspiring cosmic climate. Solve your problems and find solutions. Call 1550 511 611.
