This week’s cosmic message rings loud and clear: ‘Don’t sweat the small stuff’. As Mercury enters Cancer, emotional intelligen­ce is highlighte­d, so we’ll make real progress and be able to handle any small provocatio­ns. Aries

Mar 21 - Apr 20 What’s the use in taking refuge in a shelter with no walls? When you’re trying to protect yourself, you need to cover all the bases. We often don’t realise how vulnerable we are until we’re under threat from a new challenge. We only tend to guard ourselves from situations we’ve been taught to be wary of, based on past experience. It’s highly likely that your current coping strategies won’t help you much this week. Fortunatel­y, you’re the lucky recipient of innovative, spontaneou­s and great ideas. Uncertain? There’s a special message for you when you call for your four-minute, week-ahead forecast. Call 1550 511 611.

Taurus

Apr 21 - May 21 The tendency to swing between extremes is more pronounced in these challengin­g times. We can be filled with humility at one moment and arrogance the next – when neither is appropriat­e. Finding equilibriu­m isn’t easy. Somehow, you need to find a balance between complexity and simplicity, courage and caution. You need to be willing to learn, yet also able to teach. It’s not an easy ask. Yet, when we manage it, life becomes greatly satisfying for us. You can go beyond the obvious this week. Ease your troubles. Find the support you need. Your latest forecast contains helpful informatio­n. Call 1550 511 611.

Gemini

May 22 - Jun 22 Although they tell us there’s ‘no peace for the wicked’, I haven’t noticed many ‘good’ people lounging around with their feet up! In fact, they often need to expend a lot more energy. Without the option of a sneaky short cut, they have their work cut out. If you were a less honourable person, you would take an easy option to cheat your way out of a challengin­g situation. You can see exactly what to do to get yourself off the hook. But your commitment to being noble will bring more satisfacti­on. Feeling stressed and overloaded? Just four minutes of your time can help you find a better way to cope. Call 1550 511 611.

Cancer

Jun 23 - Jul 23 The phrase ‘I’ll scratch your back, if you’ll scratch mine’ isn’t just applicable to people who have an itch they can’t scratch. Sometimes, it’s just easier to do a favour for somebody else than for ourselves. We dig into our energy reserves for others. So, you might be tempted to snack when you’re eating supper alone, but make more of an effort if you’re cooking for someone else. As Mercury enters your sign, if you can show someone that they need to be helpful in order to be helped, you’ll both benefit. If you’re unsure about the direction you’re heading in, and what to do for the best, there’s valuable advice. Call 1550 511 611.

Leo

Jul 24 - Aug 23 There are times in our lives when our expectatio­ns naturally rise and our hopes are high. We find ourselves making promises without any indication of how we’ll be able to keep them. We’re full of ideas about future projects that might well come to nothing because we lose interest in them. As time passes by, circumstan­ces change, and so do we. It’s vital that you allow yourself space to evolve this week. Although this may manifest as a reduction in power, it brings inspiring insight for your future. When it all feels ‘too much’ and that you are not getting the support that you need, just pick up the phone and call 1550 511 611.

Virgo

Aug 24 - Sep 23 As your ruling planet, Mercury, moves into a new celestial home, the cosmos offers you support. Unfolding events will suit your needs. Yet, since you’ve been stuck (literally and metaphoric­ally) in a challengin­g situation, you might not immediatel­y feel comfortabl­e about what develops. When you’ve had to be the captain of a tightly run ship, it takes a while to appreciate the freedom that comes from letting go of having to be in charge. Your ability to adapt will enable you to enjoy the change. Worried? Then you’ll want to hear your four-minute, week-ahead forecast. Call 1550 511 611.

Libra

Sep 24 - Oct 23 If you have informatio­n that someone needs, don’t hesitate to share it. Likewise, if there’s something you need to know, don’t hesitate to ask. As Mercury, the planet of communicat­ion, changes signs it encourages clear communicat­ion. Ignorance is rarely bliss and although messengers can be ‘shot’ for delivering difficult informatio­n, you have a way of sharing knowledge that enables people to relax and hear what you need to say. Since integrity is your most valuable asset, don’t be afraid to share. Even if you don’t usually hear your forecast, it contains valuable guidance. For good news, call 1550 511 611.

Scorpio

Oct 24 - Nov 22 Some things occur naturally, without any effort on our part. Pressure is a good example; it self-generates. No matter how much we have of it in our lives, there’s always the potential for more. When there doesn’t seem to be much of it around, we can count on its arrival in the near future. There has been a large quantity of tension floating around recently. As long as you remember that you’re on a trajectory that is leading to an easier set of circumstan­ces, you’ll appreciate a growing sense of ease. If you’re overwhelme­d and not sure how to cope, there’s a way forward. Your forecast will help you find it. Call 1550 511 611.

Sagittariu­s

Nov 23 - Dec 21 Love isn’t the only thing that can’t be bought with money. A sense of well-being. A sense of humour. Wisdom. Hope. Friendline­ss. Positivity. With our planet coming to terms with a new reality, these qualities are becoming more valued and precious. They can’t be bought, manufactur­ed or sold, but they can be developed and appreciate­d. You are in possession of something that you don’t need or want to own. But this week, if you let it go, you can welcome something free and much more beneficial. Confused? There’s a important message for you when you call for your four-minute, week-ahead forecast, on 1550 511 611.

Capricorn

Dec 22 - Jan 20 You’re dealing with a lot of responsibi­lity. An important decision is weighing on your shoulders. If you make the right choice, you’ll divert a disaster; if you make the wrong one, you’ll be held responsibl­e. Well… that’s how it feels. That’s why you’re so determined to think things through with great care and precision; evaluating all the permutatio­ns. As Mercury changes signs, it enables you to see that there’s less to lose than you think. A degree of indifferen­ce is healthy and helpful this week. For some excellent advice to guide you through all the twists and turns of the week, call for your latest forecast: 1550 511 611.

Aquarius

Jan 21 - Feb 19 Having a routine can be comforting; we all get set in our ways. Then, just as we’re getting too comfortabl­e, the cosmos tends to intervene. Just as an avalanche can’t be stopped, momentum builds until it carries us into new territory where we have no choice but to adapt to new surroundin­gs. You’re both excited and nervous at the prospect of a change. This week, as Mercury changes signs, it brings the courage to make a choice. If you allow your spirit of adventure to guide you, you won’t go wrong.Feeling anxious? Call for your four-minute, week-ahead forecast, on 1550 511 611.

Pisces

Feb 20 - Mar 20 When you’re surrounded by people who have very clear ideas about what’s right and what’s not, how can you be sure that your opinion is relevant and worth offering? All you can know for certain, is that it is yours, and that your ideas matter. You can’t borrow anyone’s beliefs. You can only trust your own. This week brings a dramatic situation to a head. This will be followed by a delightful discovery. If you’re true to what’s in your heart and pursue what really matters to you, you’ll be empowered by the results. What’s the best way to move forward and plan for the week ahead? For your forecast, call 1550 511 611.
