ASTROnOMERS and astrologers alike are excited about Comet Lovejoy now making an impressive appearance near the constellation of Orion. Astronomers insist we can read nothing into the name of this rare heavenly visitor. ‘It just happens,’ they say, ‘to hav

ARIES Mar 21 — Apr 20 ASTROLOGY is a form

of mystical divination. It is thus best suited to questions that neither logic nor conventional research can easily answer. So it is appropriate that we have spent all week asking: ‘Who put the bomp in the bomp bah bomp bah bomp?’ We may be none the wiser, but the absence of an answer can be seen as an answer in itself. Take a similarly philosophical approach to any unanswerable question that may arise this weekend. Your interest in the answer does not equal a duty to discover it. NEW! 2015 Year-Ahead forecast.

Apr 21 — May 21 purchased a pair of shoes and found them uncomfortable on their first couple of outings? Can you recall how perseverance eventually caused them to fit snugly on your feet? None of us enjoy adapting to new situations. That’s why we so often prefer to stick to what is traditional and familiar. But you should not underestimate your power to slowly bring about constructive change. The steps you take this weekend may need to be small and short, but if you just carry on taking

them... NEW! 2015 Year-Ahead forecast. It’s going to be a much better year than you think. Find out why. Call 0906 751 5602.

GEMINI May 22 — June 22 THIS week, I have

encouraged you to picture yourself out in the woods, wearing a raccoon skin hat, exploring territory that none but the brave would ever dare to enter. That is, possibly, a somewhat overly colourful way to summarise the challenge you now face as you attempt to stick to your New Year resolution. In a way, it might all be a lot easier if, actually, you were so far from the rest of civilisation and dependent only on your own devices. But this weekend you may yet find you make a big breakthrough. NEW! 2015 Year-Ahead forecast. I’ve got great news for you in your year-ahead prediction. Call 0906 751 5603. CANCER OLD habits die

June 23 — July 23 hard. At a time of year like this, we are all conscious of that. Our New Year resolutions whisper in the backs of our minds in slightly guilty voices, not unlike those we used to hear at school when we had forgotten to do our homework. Or they are growing louder and adopting a confrontational attitude, striding into the forefront of our consciousness and

demanding a showdown. If you are to commence a year of positive change this weekend, you may first have to resolve an inner

conflict. NEW! 2015 Year-Ahead forecast. It’s going to be a much better year than you think. Find out why. Call 0906 751 5604.

LEO

DRAMATISTS often speak July 24 — Aug 23

about a ‘fourth wall’. This is the dividing line between the actors and the audience. If the players stop to comment on some event outside of the theatre, or even to acknowledge that they are actually just putting on a show, they risk breaking the spell and destroying the magic of the performance. Yet, if this is made to happen cleverly, it can be most powerful and effective. It may be time for you, this weekend, to start taking an apparently immutable obstacle a whole lot less seriously. NEW! 2015 Year-Ahead forecast. I’ve got great news for you in your year-ahead prediction. Call 0906 751 5605. VIRGO ‘WHEN you wish upon

Aug 24 — Sep 23 a star, makes no difference who you are...’ So sang Jiminy Cricket to Pinocchio in the Disney cartoon that we all remember from our childhood. We surely all recall, too, the next line: ‘Anything your heart desires, will come to you.’ Well, it will, won’t it? I mean, if Disney says so. Isn’t that as powerful and authoritative as anything that Shakespeare says? Wishing on a star is not guaranteed, this weekend, to give you all you want. But as far as this astrologer can see, at least, it can do no harm. NEW! 2015 Year-Ahead forecast. It’s going to be a much better year than you think. Find out why. Call 0906 751 5606. LIBRA Sep 24 — Oct 23 2015 eh? Who would

ever have thought you would last that long? And, I must say, you look pretty good on it. Glancing at you, who would think that you were actually born back in... well, let’s us not be indiscreet. You never know who else might be reading this page. They don’t need to know and you don’t need to dwell on how old you have grown. Anyhow, it is not just on first glance but on closer inspection, too, that others seem to see you as an icon of eternal youth. That will all work in your favour this weekend. NEW! 2015 Year-Ahead forecast. I’ve got great news for you in your year-ahead prediction. Call 0906 751 5607. SCORPIO ‘PEOPLE who are

Oct 24 — Nov 22 always taking care of their health, are like misers who are hoarding a treasure which they never have spirit enough to enjoy.’ So said the great 18th century writer Laurence Stern. Much has changed since then, yet his words still ring true. We have to be very careful about what we allow ourselves to be careful about. We never gain from worrying too much about anything, even if all that we are worried about is whether we are too worried. This weekend enables you to free yourself from a fear. NEW! 2015 Year-Ahead forecast. It’s going to be a much better year than you think. Find out why. Call 0906 751 5608.

SAGITTARIUS Nov 23 — Dec 21 HAVE you

noticed how the world is full of reluctant authority figures? Rarely do we hear someone say: ‘I’m glad I have been put in charge of this situation because I know exactly what to do.’ They say that kind of thing when they are applying for the role. Once they’ve got it, the tone becomes more cautious. Nobody likes to be given orders. And the order-givers are always mindful that there are others who think themselves capable of giving better orders. Humility, this weekend,

is the key to success. NEW! 2015 Year-Ahead forecast. I’ve got great news for you in your year-ahead prediction. Call 0906 751 5609.

CAPRICORN THIS happened

Dec 22 — Jan 20 because that happened. That, in turn, was a consequence of this. How easily we accept the explanations others give us for the way things have turned out today. How easily, too, we use those precedents as explanations that, in turn, become justifications. A part of you now wonders whether you really face a situation that is beyond your power to change, or whether everything might alter if one key fact were seen in a different light. This weekend brings your chance to rewrite history. NEW! 2015 Year-Ahead forecast. It’s going to be a much better year than you think. Find out why. Call 0906 751 5610.

AQUARIUS YOUR future

Jan 21 — Feb 19 is under construction. The process, so far, is incomplete. Lots of things have to happen before other things can happen, and some of those may seem to be too closely connected to a past that you might prefer to forget. Try to see all this as laying a firm foundation upon which a reliable structure can then be built. This weekend, you will find there are rewards for being diligent, and valuable discoveries are yet to be made among parts of the past that you have been tempted to discard.

Feb 20 — Mar 20 people left their houses and went out anywhere, they did not expect that it would be easy to make or take a phone call. They had to find a special public phone booth, put money in the slot and then dial their friend. Assuming, that is, their friend was at home. It was complicated and restrictive. Some of us older folk still expect phone calls made on the move to be difficult. Yet they aren’t any more. Watch, this weekend, for fear based on a negative past experience. It may no longer be relevant. NEW! 2015 Year-Ahead forecast. It’s going to be a much better year than you think. Find out why. Call 0906 751 5612.
