A classic in any language

New Icelandic crime drama The Valhalla Murders on BBC4 goes to show that subtitles are no hindrance to enjoyment when the quality of the piece outweighs any potential language barrier. The initial episodes point to a Nordic noir not to be missed.

CAPRICORN DEC 22 – JAN 20

We tend to think that disputes always end with someone losing the argument.

Yet no one can consider themselves to be the winner when an injustice has occurred. No matter how much we want to right a wrong, it’s vital to keep a sense of discrimination. This week, the powerful cosmic climate enables you to correct a mistake and improve a situation that has gone pear-shaped. If you keep your sense of perspective, you can achieve this without anyone feeling hard done by. When it all feels too much, and you’re not getting the help you need, pick up the phone. Call 0906 751 5610.

AQUARIUS JAN 21 – FEB 19

Facing a big challenge is never easy, but at least it enables us to deal with other less problematic issues; we just get on with them, unhindered by the usual tendency to procrastinate. Although this week brings a tricky situation to centre stage, it’s going to be much easier to deal with than you think. Compared to what you’ve been coping with, it might even feel enjoyable! What’s more, it signals the start of a change in your fortunes. The next phase of your life brings more fun. Unsure about the direction you’re heading in and what to do for the best? There’s valuable advice on 0906 751 5611.

PISCES FEB 20 – MAR 20

In one area of life you’re not being as emphatic, dynamic or expressive as you’re entitled to be. You’re holding on to an old hypothesis, and failing to see a plain fact that’s right before your eyes. This week brings you the courage to push through a barrier; it appears more solid than it really is. Once you’ve committed to seeing what lies beyond, you’ll find the nerve you need to express your opinion. And that brings such a sense of validation that you’ll feel much better and make excellent progress. Worried?
