Just as we’re experienci­ng the Full Moon in a Grand Cross shining in the sky, we’re also influenced by other planetary shenanigan­s. Venus and Neptune are conjunct, and Mercury, now direct, has returned to Cap- ricorn. Could it mean that Mercury’s cautious approach will be at odds with the yearning in our hearts? Are we lost in confusion? Quite the opposite. Mercury’s pragmatism can provide a harmonious answer.

ARIES Mar 21 — Apr 20

YESTERDAY, I was talking about how there’s more to life than being a grown-up. Yet, for many of us, being grown-up is far better than being a child. Though we may feel under pressure to act a certain way and to conform, no one is going to send us to bed without supper if we don’t! As adults, we can choose whether to follow the rules. Today, don’t let the fear of punishment for past transgress­ions hold you back from new possibilit­ies. If you’re willing to push your luck, you can succeed. It may be Friday the 13th, but 2017 is going to bring fortune and good luck. For inspiring news, call 0906 751 5601.

TAURUS Apr 21 — May 21

HAPPY New Year. Yes, I know it’s late — but as we bask in the glow of yesterday’s Full Moon it feels appropriat­e to say this again. Although I’m half-tempted to wait a while longer . . . things will really start to feel fresh and different later in January. But at least you’re now at the end of a drama that’s been bubbling away in your life since late last year. A decision has finally been made. From here on in, you can move forward with confidence and clarity. You no longer have to keep going round in the same old circles. It may be Friday the 13th, but 2017 is going to bring good fortune and good luck. For hopeful news, call 0906 751 5602.

GEMINI May 22 — June 22

ACCORDING to Aristotle, Zeno was ‘the inventor of the dialectic’ . . . the first to debate truth and contradict­ion. He formulated hypotheses. One example was the opposing relationsh­ip between theoretica­l ideals and practical realities. It doesn’t help us answer your question. In theory though, by sharing what you know, with a set of your peers, you can reap rewards. But that’s just one theory! Experiment this weekend, and you can still find a way to harness the power of this recent Full Moon. It may be Friday the 13th, but 2017 is going to bring good fortune and good luck. For great news, call 0906 751 5603.

CANCER June 23 — July 23

YOUR ruler, the Moon, has just been full in your sign. That’s positive. It’s also challengin­g. It means you must wrestle with an emotion you’d prefer to suppress. With the Sun still coloured by its recent conjunctio­n with Pluto, you can’t hide what you feel. Nor can you control it. You need to treat it like an aggressive intruder, who can be disarmed with reasoning. Make concession­s today, but don’t give way to an unreasonab­le feeling . . . and you’ll yet strike a useful deal. It may be Friday the 13th, but 2017 is going to bring fortune and good luck. For inspiring news, call 0906 751 5604.

LEO July 24 — Aug 23

DURING a game of cards, a player might complain they’ve been dealt a bad hand. This, they’ll claim, was why they folded and lost their stake. Although actions are important, reactions can be just as influentia­l. How we react to challenges teaches us more about ourselves than a lucky streak ever could. If you’ve been disappoint­ed lately, sabotage is an unlikely culprit. The cosmos now offers you the chance to play a winning hand. Place less emphasis on what you hold, and more on how you play it. It may be Friday the 13th, but 2017 is going to bring good fortune and good luck. For hopeful news, call 0906 751 5605.

VIRGO Aug 24 — Sep 23

IF A thing’s worth doing, it’s worth doing well. And, if, it isn’t worth doing, it doesn’t matter how well you do it, there’ll still be no point! It’s more important to have purpose and a sense of meaning than a technique, a style or a strategy. In your life now, there’s something that’s well worth doing. You must give it your best shot. Don’t think that, because you lack a particular skill or a type of experience, you can’t do it well enough. As Venus conjuncts Neptune opposite your sign, motivation and faith make all the difference. It may be Friday the 13th, but 2017 is going to bring good fortune and good luck. For great news, call 0906 751 5606.

LIBRA Sep 24 — Oct 23

WHAT are you so keen

to explore that someone else seems desperate to avoid? There are valid reasons for you to have taken the path you are on. But, perhaps the bright lights of the destinatio­n are blinding you to just a few of the bumps in the road. Today, it’s worth taking someone’s perspectiv­e seriously. There’s no need to capitulate, but there may be a kernel of truth in their words. By summoning your positivity and confidence, you can grow that kernel into a mighty tree. It may be Friday the 13th, but 2017 is going to bring fortune and good luck. For inspiring news, call 0906 751 5607.

SCORPIO Oct 24 — Nov 22

SOME people might be surprised to discover the thoughts that pass through your mind. But then you might be amazed to know their secrets! Fortunatel­y, though our eyes may be the windows to our souls, they act like frosted bathroom glass in terms of revealing what’s on our mind. With the Full Moon beginning to wane, and your ruler Mars about to link to Uranus, you’re working out how to handle a challenge. Don’t apply someone else’s standards. Your way is best. It may be Friday the 13th, but 2017 is going to bring good fortune and good luck. For hopeful news, call 0906 751 5608.

SAGITTARIU­S Nov 23 — Dec 21

I TALKED about lifting confusion yesterday. And while it’s true that your head’s becoming clearer, the same can’t entirely be said of your heart. Yet there are still plenty of reasons to celebrate. In fact, there’s now the potential for fireworks in your life. But what do fireworks need to be so magical? Darkness. And what’s produced from their wondrous displays? Smoke. You’re about to discover the secret to realising a dream. It has just been waiting for the smoke to clear. It may be Friday the 13th, but 2017 is going to bring fortune and good luck. For great news, call 0906 751 5609.

CAPRICORN Dec 22 — Jan 20

WHERE were you before you were so rudely interrupte­d? Where had you just about got to before you realised that you had to do something else? What was looking just about possible before you suddenly started to see how disappoint­ingly impossible it probably was? It turns out it may just be possible after all. As Mercury, now direct, returns to Capricorn, under the light of the waning Full Moon, it’s time to review some of the more oppressive restrictio­ns you had found yourself feeling obliged to accept. It may be Friday the 13th, but 2017 is going to bring fortune and good luck. For inspiring news, call 0906 751 5610.

AQUARIUS Jan 21 — Feb 19

WHERE’S the line of shady men holding brown envelopes? What about the cash-stuffed briefcase swapped surreptiti­ously in the park? It’s unlikely that you’ve ever witnessed such an event. But as an eagle-eyed Aquarian, you’ll have noticed that yesterday I said that your ideas can now start to pay off. But I didn’t mean you’d be ‘paid off’. I hope this hasn’t caused you any confusion. Because this weekend, it would be wise not to let misunderst­andings turn into emotional confrontat­ions. It may be Friday the 13th, but 2017 is going to bring fortune and good luck. For hopeful news, call 0906 751 5611.

PISCES Feb 20 — Mar 20

OUR circumstan­ces may make it difficult for us to do what we’d really like to do. Actions by others may prevent us making progress. These obstacles pale into insignific­ance when compared to the greatest barrier — self doubt! If we don’t believe in ourselves, we’ll never get anywhere. And if we do, there’s no hurdle we can’t conquer. In the aftermath of Venus conjunctin­g Neptune in your sign, however you perceive your biggest challenge, it’s really all about faith. It may be Friday the 13th, but 2017 is going to bring fortune and good luck. For great news, call 0906 751 5612.
