ARIES Mar 21 — Apr 20 THOSE who campaign

for a fairer world are keen to point out that there is enough food on this earth to feed us all. But most is wasted. To control profits and prices, key commodities are often destroyed. Scarcity has an impact on price. But we should not assume that apparent unattainability amounts to proof of nonexistence. Your strong desire for an experience is not a suggestion that you will never have one. Rather, it is simply a device to help you savour success when it comes.

TAURUS ‘WHEN in Rome, do Apr 21 — May 21 as the Romans do.’ So goes the old saying. But don’t the Romans have a somewhat worrying tradition of inconsistency? Once, they threw Christians to the lions. A while later, they were establishing the church and creating popes. Consider carefully whether it might be wise not to emulate another’s example. Perhaps, in the past, they have only done what seemed appropriate at the time, but there may yet come a point in the future when they regret this. Looking for some good news?

GEMINI WILL you win the May 22 — June 22 lottery with a coin recently spent on a single ticket? Why ask your astrologer? You may as well just wait until the draw is held. Will you win if you buy a thousand tickets? Again, there is no point in asking me. You know the answer already. It is a dumb idea! If you are going to ask me anything at all, surely it is: ‘What will the winning numbers be?’ But then, if I could tell you that, why would I be sitting here telling you this? Ask the right question — of the right people. Much will improve between now and the July New Moon. I’d like to give you a reading based on your exact date of birth. Call 0906 751 5603.

CANCER IF YOU think you June 23 — July 23 know what someone else will say, why bother talking to them? If you anticipate a negative response, it may make more sense to leave the subject alone. Then, at least, you won’t have to hear what you don’t want to hear. And if you confidently expect them to say something good, you can probably just as confidently expect them to say it without Gamblers and statisticians (hopefully) agree about one point. If there’s a consistent 50/50 chance of something happening or not happening, there’s no great predictive rule. The majority of us are (hopefully) neither gamblers nor statisticians. We would like to feel that any principle we are trusting is 100 per cent reliable. but we may be willing to let ourselves feel comfortable about 99 per cent, even 90 per cent. Yet just as, in business, the difference between 49 and 51 per cent ownership is a critical distinction, the ability to predict any phenomenon with 51 per cent accuracy is enough to qualify as valuable. more tomorrow. prompting. The point of any exchange is to elicit information that you don’t already have. When you get it, you may like it! Looking for some good news?

LEO YOU want the best, don’t July 24 — Aug 23 you? The cosmos wants this for you, too, doesn’t it? Strangely, the only people who ever feel inclined to answer that second question in the negative are those who would also tend to refute the first one. It surely isn’t fair to accuse the universe of a conspiracy and imagine that it secretly plots to engineer our downfall. The very worst, we might assume, is that it has a degree of ambivalence — and that which sits on the fence can always be nudged! Give positive fate a gentle push.

VIRGO SOME so-called Aug 24 — Sep 23 experts claim the secret of eternal life involves exploring ways in which time can be made to slow down almost to a standstill. That fits with what has come to be my own understanding. But we must take care. One thing that can drag on interminably, making us feel as if our whole life has ground to a halt, is worry! Yet, even if it were part of the recipe for immortality, who would want to live forever in such a state? Let yours go. You won’t, I promise, be sacrificing any other advantage.

Sep 24 — Oct 23 perverse ability to take pleasure in pain? Don’t we all indulge in activities that bring us no enjoyment other, perhaps, than the enjoyment of complaining about how little we are enjoying ourselves? Think, say, about smoking. Why does anyone want to do that, far less develop an addiction to such an unsatisfactory experience? Sometimes, too, we like being resentful about stupid situations. Yet this is never good for us, either. A great letting-go can now happen. Much will improve between now and the July New Moon. I’d like to give you a reading based on your exact date of birth.

SCORPIO IT IS one thing to Oct 24 — Nov 22 know what you want, another to know how to get it. Some might argue that without the latter, the former is worthless. But if you don’t know how to get what you want, at least you are open to being shown an answer. Worse, by far, is to feel you know how to get it but that there is no way to make this happen. The right kind of uncertainty here, as in so many other areas of life, is so much better than the wrong kind of certainty. Be wary of growing too fixed and focused. Looking for some good news?

SAGITTARIUS PEOPLE Nov 23 — Dec 21 who are magnanimously-minded rarely look at others and envisage them as mean-spirited. Yet cold, closed characters find it equally hard to imagine anyone else’s trusting attitude can possibly be sincere. ‘Even if it is,’ they figure, ‘it is a sign of stupidity.’ Thus, a chasm often opens between life’s optimists and pessimists, with both sides insisting that only they are the ‘realists’. Even if you feel you can bridge such a gap, do it

carefully lest you lose your footing. Much will improve between now and the July New Moon. I’d like to give you a reading based on your exact date of birth. Call 0906 751 5609.

CAPRICORN ‘IF YOU fail to Dec 22 — Jan 20 plan, you plan to fail.’ Or so some folk say. It may be a wise aphorism up to a point, but it is misleading. Some eventualities simply can’t be planned for; moments of challenge that are best met with spontaneity. Planning for everything can result in accomplishing nothing, for there is always another possibility to foresee, no matter how remote. Could your situation have been anticipated? Perhaps — perhaps not. All that matters is that you are still in time to deal with it. Looking for some good news? Dial in your date of birth for your latest spookily accurate Moon-sign prediction.

AQUARIUS YOU are good Jan 21 — Feb 19 at what you do, but you may not be the only person who can do it. You are also good at being who you are. In this regard, at least, you are unique. Surprisingly often, we confuse what we do with who we are. We often ask, in moments of social introduction: ‘Where do you live? And how do you fill your time?’ We then use the information to form a judgment about the other person. Resist the urge to define what can’t be changed by what can be changed.

PISCES I HAVE been asked to Feb 20 — Mar 20 pass on a letter from the manager of your local branch of Leprechauns R Us. After the usual salutations (‘top of the morning’ and other traditional colloquialisms), it explains how, when you last saw a rainbow, your eyes inadvertently fell upon the actual ending place and, as all pots of gold have had to be surrendered to the European Central Bank in order to help with the crisis in Greece, you have been issued instead with a 24-hour guard of little people. Be careful what you wish for! Looking for some good news? Dial in your date of birth for your latest spookily accurate Moon-sign prediction. Call 0906 751 5612.
