Happy New year, again! We’re now in the Dark of the Moon that heralds the annual new moon in aquarius and with it the start of the Chinese year Of The Horse. This particular year, the Horse belongs to the element of wood, symbolising unexpected adventure. If that puts you in mind of the wooden horse that the Greeks employed to invade the city of Troy, you may be thinking along the right lines. Many Western astrologers see 2014 as a year when millions suddenly realise that major change has sneaked up on us. More on this next week.
ARIES Mar 21 — Apr 20 HOW do we learn to master the art of doing the right thing at the right moment? Some people seem to have this knack. They don’t do very much. They certainly don’t seize every opportunity that comes their way. But then, once in a while, they clearly notice a possibility that seems worth exploiting. They smartly, subtly spring into action, making very little fuss, while attaining a result that clearly suits them. Life offers you the chance, this weekend, to be such a person. Bide your time but stay alert. Discover what the magic of Chinese New Year means for you. Your new moon-sign forecast is ready. Call 0906 751 5601.
TAURUS Apr 21 — May 21 ‘PATIENCE,’ we are often told, ‘is a virtue.’ So are the most virtuous people on the planet also the most calm and collected characters? Might a further logical extension of this idea be the suggestion that, to attain a state of maximum virtue, one should aspire to total inactivity? It isn’t quite so simple. Other considerations apply. Other virtues exist! Doing (and being willing to keep doing) nothing, this weekend, won’t entitle you to canonisation, but it still may prove the wisest policy for now.

GEMINI May 22 — June 22 ANCIENT Greek Heraclitus lived as a hermit and believed his wisdom stemmed from his loneliness. He was a critic of other philosophers, including Homer and Pythagoras, which may explain his isolation. But his wise observation, that change is the only constant, remains beyond question. Less so, his grasp of medicine. He died trying to cure an illness by covering himself in manure and lying out in the sun. To know some things is not to know all things. Just remember that this weekend. Discover what the magic of Chinese New Year means for you. Your new moon-sign forecast is ready. Call 0906 751 5603.
CANCER June 23 — July 23 JAPANESE folk stories describe the Uma-no-ashi; a horse’s leg which dangles from a tree and kicks passers-by. While there are many differences between Chinese and Japanese myths, it is hard not to perceive the potential for the awakening of such a spirit, as we now approach the new Moon that heralds the start of the Year Of The Horse. It is not unreasonable, this weekend, for you to expect a seemingly inexplicable intervention that provides a sudden spur to much-needed progress. It’s Chinese New Year!

LEO July 24 — Aug 23 WE ARE all, to some extent, dream-weavers. Your magical powers as an illusionist may extend no further than an ability to dress or present yourself in a particular way but they exist, nonetheless, and you rely on them to help shape the impression you make on others. Or at least, usually you do. Currently, the Dark of the Moon is impeding this ability, which explains why some people seem to be looking at you in a different light. Neither let this offend nor worry you this weekend. Their view will yet change again. Discover what the magic of Chinese New Year means for you. Your new moon-sign forecast is ready.

VIRGO Aug 24 — Sep 23 YOU would appreciate it if someone could see a situation from a different point of view. To you it is obvious that they have reached an erroneous conclusion. Why isn’t this obvious to them too? Your choice, this weekend, is simple. You can become even more entrenched in your own position while they continue to defend theirs. Or you can take a genuine interest in the reasons why they say what they say and clearly feel what they feel. If you want to be heard, show that you are willing to listen. It’s Chinese New Year!

None, unless there is a linguistic hurdle. What if you speak only your own native tongue and the cosmos, when it converses, uses Sanskrit or ancient Aramaic? Those hints and tips from on high might as well be obscure poems or recipes for all the sense they are making. Yet this weekend brings a breakthrough. Attempt to understand the subtle signs and signals that you are being sent and you may yet gain a precious insight. Discover what the magic of Chinese New Year means for you.

SCORPIO Oct 24 — OUR memories of Nov 22 the past inform our expectations of the future. What a shame then, that so few of these are accurate and reliable. In broad-brush terms they may be right but although they say the devil is in the detail, all kinds of helpful angels reside in the realm of the subtle and the complex, too. A moment of measured reflection may yet help to release such ethereal assistants. Might you have overlooked something that deserves closer attention? This weekend brings a reason to raise your hopes.

SAGITTARIUS Nov 23 — Dec 21 THIS weekend doesn’t just bring in the Chinese Year Of The Horse, it brings another opposition between Jupiter and Pluto. We had one last year. We will get another in April. The next will form part of a Grand Cross in cardinal signs and will herald change for us all. Can we surmise therefore that what’s happening in your life now is important? We certainly can! Too important to allow your key decisions to be overly influenced by a sense of insecurity. Be confident. Discover what the magic of Chinese New Year means for you. Your new moon-sign forecast is ready. Call 0906 751 5609.
CAPRICORN Dec 22 — Jan 20 I RECENTLY observed my two-year-old grandson walking near a river. My inner alarm bell rang as I hastened to his side. He smiled sweetly and said: ‘I know what I’m doing.’ Of course, he did! Clearly, I didn’t feel safe enough to trust his own trust in himself. Then I thought how all week I have been encouraging you to step bravely towards new territory. Then add that to the week before when you had such a big decision to make. Never mind who else trusts you this weekend. You must trust yourself. It’s Chinese New Year! Let your new moon-sign forecast reveal how your future can be changed. Call 0906 751 5610.
AQUARIUS Jan 21 — IT IS quite Feb 19 like you to argue. Few of your companions would be surprised to discover you had an alternate argument to a conventional idea. They might be slightly more surprised to find that you weren’t holding a debate with some other opinionated individual, or pitting yourself against an organisation which believed their way was the right way. But instead, you were critically deconstructing a decision of your own. This weekend, it is time to start agreeing with yourself! Discover what the magic of Chinese New Year means for you.

PISCES Feb 20 — Mar 20 A CONSCIENCE is something to be glad of. Indeed, though pride is never a good emotion to indulge too far, there are reasons why we should take pride in the moral standards that we do our best to adhere to. Yet as all who strive to uphold the highest principles will testify, dilemmas inevitably arise. As fast as we think we can see the right thing to do, we realise there may be a complex counter-argument that raises sensitivities heretofore unseen. Don’t tie yourself up in too many knots this weekend. It’s Chinese New Year! Let your new moon-sign forecast reveal how your future can be changed. Call 0906 751 5612.
