THE WEEK AHEAD WITH

ARIES MAR 21 – APR 20

Do you want to get into a discussion about minor details – or would you rather stand back and appreciate the bigger picture? Do you want to get drawn into a debate? Or would you prefer to stop talking and start taking positive action? When you see them written down, the answers to these questions are obvious. But it’s not so easy to keep perspective when we’re caught up in the middle of a drama. As your ruler, Mars, links with Uranus, be on the look-out for impulsive reactions. It’s important to keep sight of your long-term vision. You’ve got lots to look forward to. The inspiration that you need is in your four-minute forecast. Call 0906 751 5601. TAURUS

Everyone knows about the care and consideration you give to people lucky enough to fall under your protection. But this week, when you find yourself engaging with a new project, be ready for a different experience. Although Mercury’s reconnection with Pluto brings the insight to respond to an exciting opportunity, if you want to stay at the forefront of the action, you’ll need to keep up with your entourage. If someone has skills you don’t have, be generous enough to accept their help. You can advance together. Knowledge is power. Find out how to take full advantage of your astrological assets. Call 0906 751 5602.

APR 21 – MAY 21

GEMINI MAY 22 – JUN 22

Every one of us is at the mercy of the gods. We’re blissfully unaware of how, when we’ve had to go back for our phone and are running a few minutes late, we’ve actually been saved from an unfortunate event. Yet just because we don’t understand the complex nature of our relationship with the cosmos, that doesn’t mean we don’t have some control. This week you can make simple changes that alter your attitude and empower you to make more effective decisions. A tweak to your thinking can have a big impact on your future. What’s in the sky for you? Helpful planetary alignments! For good news, call your in-depth forecast: 0906 751 5603.

As Mars trines Uranus this week, risks taken must be carefully measured. But the depth of knowledge inspired by newly direct Mercury’s third meeting with Pluto suggests that plans can emerge that create exciting, sustainable change.

CANCER JUN 23 – JUL 23 What makes you prone to moodiness? Maybe it’s because you’re ruled by the sensitive Moon; your big-heartedness means that you care. And, just as energy can’t be created or destroyed, emotions are powerfully present in your world – you can’t just switch them off. Which is great when you’re feeling hopeful and optimistic, but more challenging when you’re feeling frustrated. Your compassion grows from your awareness of life’s bitterness as well as its sweetness. This week brings the cosmic equivalent of chocolate! Make the most of your opportunities. Your latest, in-depth forecast contains inspiring news. Call 0906 751 5604.

LEO JUL 24 – AUG 23

One of my classmates at school was a gifted guitarist. A few years later it was his impressive songwriting and vocal skills that led to a growing reputation in the music industry. Sometimes life encourages us to switch our attention away from something we know we’re good at, and inspires us to develop other skills. And sometimes that’s when we start to find success. You’re a multi-talented Leo. This week you’ll be reminded of your attributes. Seize an opportunity to use a hidden talent in an advantageous, profitable way. Transform your life! To move forwards in a positive direction, there’s good news when you call 0906 751 5605.

VIRGO AUG 24 – SEP 23

I’m sure you’ve noticed that astrologers often talk about your pragmatic, logical side. They’re not wrong… of course you have these qualities. But your natural Virgoan wisdom and mental acumen are only part of the picture. When the mood takes you, and the timing’s right, you can be imaginative, creative, expressive and spontaneous. You have a fiercely independent side, so you don’t feel as if you have to explain your actions to anyone. And when you act on impulse, the results are impressive. Trust your intuition this week. For advice to guide you through the twists and turns ahead, call your four-minute forecast: 0906 751 5606.

LIBRA

Have you been given information you don’t want to hear? Or been shown something you’d rather not see? Would you rather bury your head in the sand and carry on regardless? Before you think about how to proceed, it’s worth checking the reliability of your news. How much has it been coloured by an opinion, a hope or a fear? As Mercury turns direct, if you look again, you’ll be able to sort out misinformation from the reality. Can you find something new and inspiring within all that seems to be so cut and dried? Absolutely! How can you stay focused and happy? Your weekly forecast holds the advice you need. Call 0906 751 5607.

SEP 24 – OCT 23

SCORPIO OCT 24 – NOV 22

I wonder if you’d mind getting a bit closer to the words on this page and taking a deep breath. Perfect. They’ve been imbued with a wonderfully subtle fragrance that will enable you to relax and fully appreciate the information in your prediction.

Don’t panic! Of course, that would be manipulative and power-wielding – I’d never do that. But somewhere in your life, it’s as if you’re under some sort of spell. Remember, this week, that you’re in control of your life. Unless you want to be seduced by something or someone, you don’t have to be. What’s the best way to move forward and ensure success? The answer is in your latest forecast. Call 0906 751 5608.

SAGITTARIUS NOV 23 – DEC 21 We have ideas about how things are ‘supposed’ to be. But our expectations rarely match the reality. Our personal storylines don’t always end up with the endings we’d like. You’ve been dealing with a drama that’s been taking a lot of your energy. There’s still a lot to do. Yet what’s happening is happening for the right reasons. Eventually you’re going to feel greatly relieved and very pleased. Just do whatever you need to do, while remaining as optimistic and open-minded as you can be. You’re going to enjoy this. There’s no need to worry. All you need is some guidance. Your week-ahead forecast can help. Call 0906 751 5609.

CAPRICORN DEC 22 – JAN 20

Whatever anyone needs this week, they can count on you to supply it. With Mars in Capricorn, you’re more resourceful than usual.

And with generous Venus and communicative Mercury also in your sign, you can share information in encouraging ways. If you find yourself feeling a bit worn down – as if you’d like to be the recipient of a generous gesture or two – remember that it’s when we start to give that we really start to receive. Good things are coming your way this week. The less you demand, the more you’ll enjoy. What does your heart desire, and how can you achieve what you really want? Call your forecast: 0906 751 5610.

AQUARIUS JAN 21 – FEB 19 It’s easier to be critical than to be creative. It’s less work to tear something down than to rebuild it. We live in a world where demolishing the opposition is simpler than providing an alternative. Yet we’re capable of so much more.

With the Sun in your sign, it’s time for you to think about your intentions. Whatever you dream you can do, you can do. Once you recognise your power, you’ll see that your beliefs are a valuable resource. They can empower you to move on from a situation you’ve been stuck in for too long. Curious to know more? There’s valuable news in your indepth forecast. Call 0906 751 5611.

PISCES FEB 20 – MAR 20

Imagine the scenario: one person, who’s carrying a violin, asks another, who’s pulling a double bass, ‘Excuse me. How do I get to the Royal Opera House?’ They reply, ‘Just keep practising.’ That’s the piece of advice I need to give you this week! You’re not sure where you need to get to. Although you’ve got a vision, it’s not quite fully formed, and the route ahead doesn’t appear to be straightforward. Yet you’re good at what you do. Be confident that if you keep doing what you’re doing, you’ve got the talent to succeed. Success is about attitude and timing. Your fourminute forecast shows the way to positive change. Call 0906 751 5612.
