Last week, I asked a geophysicist about a shift in Earth’s magnetism that some doom-mongers seem to be expecting. He said it isn’t necessarily a major problem, and it could, in any event, be 100,000 years away. My charts confirm his optimism. so, despite

ARIES Mar 21 — Apr 20 WE ARE taught from

an early age to be consistent. It is seemingly socially acceptable to pour scorn on folk who change their minds. Hypocrites are persona non grata in many a household. Why, the very idea that a person should say one thing yet do another is — well, outrageous! Which is a bit of a shame, because if we don’t allow ourselves to learn, develop, adapt and adjust, how can we ever hope to become stronger and wiser? Saying ‘yes’ today, to something you may once have said ‘no’ to, is not so bad. What does the potent power of the Equinox mean for you? Call your latest four-minute forecast: 0906 751 5601. TAURUS Apr 21 — May 21 WE WERE not placed on this planet so that we could learn how to get the better of one another. We are not here to pull the wool over each other’s eyes. None of us descended from the ethereal realm to take up a physical incarnation just so that we could have a chance to score points and win petty disputes. Or even big disputes, for that matter. No matter how pressing an issue may seem today, it is surely more pressing to find a way to rise above it. Be bighearted, open-minded and guided by a wise inner spirit. It’s the Equinox! I have a lightshedding, hope-giving, worry-quashing fourminute forecast for you. Call 0906 751 5602. GEMINI May 22 — June 22 MUST it be

‘all or nothing’? What’s so wrong with a good old-fashioned compromise? Can’t you reach an agreement, an accommodation, a deal? Your retrograde ruler may be exacerbating an urge to embrace one side or another of some intense argument. But not all such urges are to be followed. The better part of you already knows that a less dramatic solution is sure to be less stressful, too. What it may not yet know, unless you give it a chance to find out, is that this is also a better way to get the result you want. How will this Equinox change your life? I have important news for you.

June 23 — July 23 NOTHING supports ignorance as effectively as knowledge! When we are so sure of something that we have no doubt, we see no reason to wonder or ponder. Why ask any questions when you have all the answers? Ah, but, are all the answers in place today? Might someone, somewhere, be making an assumption? Might it be better to concede that there is room for further clarification? You may think a deal is done and a case is closed. But if you are hoping for a reason to see a situation differently, you may yet

find one. What does the potent power of the Equinox mean for you? Call your latest fourminute forecast: 0906 751 5604. LEO July 24 — Aug 23 CERTAINTY is satisfying.

Uncertainty is unnerving. Hence the urge to seek confirmation and corroboration. ‘I think this and so-and-so agrees with me, so I must be right!’ Ah, but what if soand-so is wrong and was only supporting you in your assertion in the hope that you would then return the favour and stand behind one of their misguided beliefs? Real progress rarely needs to be as dramatic or destructive as many of us imagine. Life becomes unfair when any of us push our points too far, too hard. Go easy today. It’s the Equinox!

Aug 24 — Sep 23 THE cosmos is not conspiring against you. Mercury may be retrograde, but that does not make your astrological outlook undesirable. Mercury’s retrograde movements have an undeserved reputation because they are much misunderstood. Does that remind you of anyone you know? People often jump to strange and silly conclusions about you just because you have such a kind heart. They suspect you are too good to be true. But you are sincere, and that will yet afford you all the protection you

need today. How will this Equinox change your life? I have important news for you. Pick up the phone! 0906 751 5606. LIBRA Sep 24 — Oct 23 THINK of some of the

things you used to do. Librans never change their minds without a good reason. You may not always know at the time what that reason is. It may take months or years before you see the meaning and the purpose that lay behind what initially appeared to be just a wild impulse. But eventually it all makes sense. Sometimes, too, you come to realise that it’s OK to repeat an exercise that for a while was not OK. Mercury’s retrograde phase may be telling you something like that right now.

Oct 24 — Nov 22 SOME afterdinner speakers rehearse in front of a mirror. This gives them, they think, an idea about how they may appear to their audience. But they can only see themselves as they see themselves. To quote the great Scottish bard, Rabbie Burns: ‘Oh would some Power, the giftie gie us, to see ourselves as others see us.’ Regardless of what guise or disguise we don, we can never fully control the impression we make on others. But if we are truly sincere, it always communicates. Just be true to yourself today. It’s the Equinox! I have a lightshedding, hope-giving, worry-quashing fourminute forecast for you.

created equal but ‘some . . . are more equal than others’. So goes the classic line from George Orwell’s Animal Farm. I quote it to you because Saturn’s newly begun journey through Sagittarius is best understood from this perspective. Some folk don’t respond so well to this influence. But you were born to rise to a challenge like this. Whatever difficulty life places in your path, you see the opportunity and turn it to your advantage. Today, you will work a very special kind of magic. How will this Equinox change your life? I have important news for you. Pick up the phone! 0906 751 5609. CAPRICORN

Dec 22 — Jan 20 MARS and Saturn now form a right angle to each other in the night sky. Well, actually, they do it during the day as well. But we can’t see it until it gets dark! I mention this because there is some poetry and poignance for you now in the traditional suggestion that ‘out of sight is out of mind’. You are becoming conscious of a situation that has been in existence for quite some while. No great harm has come of it yet. Why should it now be more problematic just because you are aware of it? By all means be alert, but do not worry. What does the potent power of the Equinox mean for you? Call your latest four-minute forecast: 0906 751 5610. AQUARIUS

Jan 21 — Feb 19 SOME people like to count their blessings and list their ‘reasons to be cheerful’. While there is nothing wrong with such a process, it is always worth remembering that none of us actually need ‘reasons to be cheerful’. Cheerfulness, happiness and gladness are not obliged to honour the laws of logic. That’s inspiring, at least in so far as it suggests we have the option to feel good at any moment, regardless of what’s going on. Whether or not you can justify joy today, you will certainly find you can feel it. It’s the Equinox! I have a lightshedding, hope-giving, worry-quashing fourminute forecast for you.

Feb 20 — Mar 20 WE MAY not worry about what other people think of us, but we are certainly aware that they have their opinion. Because we are only human, we want to be well thought of. Should we ever encounter a suggestion that we are earning an unsatisfactory reputation, we may well balk and bridle. And if we think we know who is badmouthing us, we may bad-mouth them to serve them right! The power of a good word should never be underestimated, even in an unsatisfactory situation. Be nothing but nice today.
