Aries

Mar 21 - Apr 20 What’s the point of bothering to teach anyone anything? Wouldn’t it be easier to keep everyone in the dark and make us feel silly for asking questions? This is how it works in the world of computing. If something doesn’t work, it’s usually because we’ve done something wrong — but how are we supposed to know what to do when the mechanics are such a mystery? You’re feeling frustrated by something that should be working but isn’t. This week brings the informatio­n you need to feel clever. In a time of celestial creativity, you can transform your life. Find inspiring news in your forecast. Call 1550 511 611.

Taurus

Apr 21 - May 21 Venus, your ruling planet, forms a link to mysterious Pluto. That’s a big celestial story. It’s the front-page headline on your weekly astrologic­al news bulletin. For the next few days, there’s only going to be one issue on your mind. How are you going to cope with a difficult dilemma that’s pulling you in confusing directions? It’s illogical, but we don’t live in a logical world. And, with your ruler also moving towards a conjunctio­n with the Sun, you’ll find magical ways to resolve this issue. You can use the exceptiona­l celestial energy to create positive change. For valuable insight and news, call 1550 511 611.

Gemini

May 22 - Jun 22 There are times when, for wise and pragmatic reasons, we have to hold ourselves back from doing the things we really want to do. Like going out for a walk to watch the sunset when new shoes have hurt your feet, you don’t want to make the blisters worse. In your world, you’re dealing with a delicate situation that needs to be protected rather than inflamed. With Mars in your sign for a long time, you can afford to pace yourself. Resist the temptation to make a decisive move, and trust that things are working out by themselves. It’s time to make your dreams a reality! Call 1550 511 611.

Cancer

Jun 23 - Jul 23 The fact that our nearest and dearest don’t always agree with us shouldn’t be so surprising. We all have things that we love, but which we enjoy only in limited quantities — some food (or drink!) can be indulged only in moderation. And when it comes to financial matters, we might like spending money, but we don’t like realising that we’ve spent more than we should have. This week brings an opportunit­y to address any imbalances in your world. You have the insight to understand and change a relationsh­ip in a very positive way. Capture the powerful energy of the positively star-filled skies. For your in-depth forecast, call 1550 511 611.

Leo

Jul 24 - Aug 23 Once upon a time, there was a storytelle­r who loved telling stories. Their stories always began, ‘Once upon a time, there was a storytelle­r who loved telling stories’. Someone you know seems, in a stuck-record kind of way, to be caught in an unhappy narrative. But they’re not doing anything to change it, and you feel responsibl­e for improving their situation. Your job this week is to disentangl­e yourself and turn your attention to you. There’s fun to be had. But first, you have to make a choice. Enough is enough. Let this week’s powerful celestial outlook reveal your heart’s true desires. For good news, call 1550 511 611.

Virgo

Aug 24 - Sep 23 They tell us that ‘nature abhors a vacuum’. And you can’t bear to see things go to waste. If you put these two facts together, it’s easy to see why your world is so full — you feel almost obliged to fill every spare second with something useful. Yet sometimes, the most useful thing we can do is slow down, bide our time, and wait to see which way the wind’s blowing. You don’t have to leap to everyone else’s rescue this week, or exhaust yourself meeting their needs. It’s by allowing things to unfold organicall­y that you’ll find joy. Take full advantage of the inspiring cosmic climate. Solve your problems and find solutions! Call 1550 511 611.

Libra

Sep 24 - Oct 23 As the Sun prepares to converge with your ruler, Venus, the cosmic spotlight is moving onto you. As it shines, it highlights everything you’re proud of and want to show to the world. Which is great news... so long as you’re aware of the side-effects. When a light shines brightly, the shadowy areas round it get darker. Make sure you don’t waste the celestial energy by focusing on a small difficulty that seems to be garnering lots of attention. It looks bigger than it is. Other people are more than able to sort it. Focus on what’s bright. Your forecast explains how to take advantage of the cosmic gifts on offer. Call 1550 511 611.

Scorpio

Oct 24 - Nov 22 Children are creative with the truth. ‘No, I haven’t eaten all the chocolate’, when we can see evidence of it all over their faces! They’re determined to stick to their version of events despite having been caught redhanded. But even as grown-ups, we tell ourselves stories that help us feel better about the situations we find ourselves in — especially when we think we’ve somehow ‘messed things up’, or that we’ve disappoint­ed someone. This week, being honest with yourself will help you sort out a problem, once and for all. Powerful changes are possible as the planets positively combine. Make the most of their influence. Call 1550 511 611.

Sagittariu­s

Nov 23 - Dec 21 Things might not be perfect but you’re still smiling. You’ve got that Sagittaria­n ability to cope and deal with whatever life throws at you – even when you’re feeling under-supported, overlooked and fed up. But you won’t need to maintain a facade this week. Excellent news is on its way. You’re about to reach a settlement or make an encouragin­g discovery, or both. Even if you’re faking enthusiasm at the moment, you’re about to feel genuinely enthused. The improvemen­t you seek is going to be easier to implement than you think. How can you benefit from this week’s powerful astrologic­al outlook? It could change your life. For good news, call 1550 511 611.

Capricorn

Dec 22 - Jan 20 If you stop throwing all your energy into something that isn’t working (and will never work), you’ll have the resources to turn your attention to something that will. It’s not always easy to know when we’re wasting our time. But one of the biggest clues is a growing feeling of cynicism. Of course, you can always hope for a miracle, but in reality there are times when it’s best to cut your losses and move onto other projects that have a better chance of success. One of those is making its way into your world this week. Grab it! For priceless informatio­n about how to profit from this powerful celestial climate, call 1550 511 611.

Aquarius

Jan 21 - Feb 19 You’re wondering what’s going on in one of your key relationsh­ips. Something’s changed; it’s not the same as it used to be, and you’re uncertain about what it’s going to become. As Mercury leaves its shadow, events will allay your worries. You’ll see that teamwork enables you to accomplish tasks you’d never be able to do alone. You’ll start to feel hopeful about something that seemed impossible. If you’re clear about your feelings, you’ll open conversati­ons that reassure you — and you’ll have reasons to celebrate. In a week of transforma­tive cosmic activity, take advantage of the potential for change. Call 1550 511 611.

Pisces

Feb 20 - Mar 20 You need to be a bit wary of jumping to conclusion­s this week. Although you might think you know how a story’s going to work out, you’ve got the power to alter things so that the outcome suits you better. You need to set a familiar formula to one side, and forget the speeches you’ve been rehearsing in your mind. Instead, listen to what’s being said. Observe what’s taking place. Just because a situation resembles something from your past doesn’t mean it has to reach the same conclusion. You can alter it for the better. You’ve got lots to look forward to. Learn how to harness the gifts of the universe when they arrive! Call 1550 511 611.
