SINCE anniversar­y today marks of Napoleon the overthrowi­ng the French government, I thought I’d share a joke I wrote. Why did the army stop using carrier pigeons? They’d heard whispers of a coo!

The fact that I can’t hear you laughing doesn’t make it unfunny! We can’t force people to respond to us in the way we want them to. Yet, following the Lunar Eclipse, gentle persuasion will work wonders.

ARIES Mar 21 - Apr 20 ALTHOUGH being stranded in the desert might not be an ideal scenario, there’s always the chance of seeing a mirage. Imaginary oases serve a vital psychologi­cal function. They offer hope. As long as we think we’re heading towards one, we’ll dig deep and find the willpower to keep going. You might be wondering whether your current destinatio­n is real. It’s certainly shimmering on the horizon. But the legacy of the Lunar Eclipse brings confirmati­on that what you’re heading towards is real. Keep going! Wonderful opportunit­ies arise as the Lunar Eclipse energises your life. For great news, call 0906 751 5601.

TAURUS Apr 21 - May 21 HOW well are things going to work out? Very pleasingly. How close will you get to fulfilling a dream? Closer than you imagine. How much do you need to be concerned about? Not as much as you think. Sometimes, you can be your own worst enemy. You make wise choices and then spend ages wondering if you made the ‘wrong’ choice. When things start moving in the right direction, you consider heading towards a different destinatio­n. Following the Lunar Eclipse, stop self-questionin­g and accept what’s unfolding. The Lunar Eclipse brings powerful positive change. There’s great news in your forecast. Call 0906 751 5602.

GEMINI May 22 - June 22 PEOPLE are always saying that ‘life’s a journey’. If it’s true, how do we know what to pack for the trip? How many pairs of socks would you need? Do you require smart shoes as well as walking boots? What about flip-flops? Clearly, it’s impossible to prepare for every scenario. If you had to carry every item necessary to deal with all the twists and turns of life’s journey, you wouldn’t be able to move! Really, all you need is your ability to adapt. That will enable you to do very well today. Make this a memorable week. The Lunar Eclipse brings potential for transforma­tion. For good news, call 0906 751 5603.

CANCER ‘THINKING June 23 - July 23 outside the box’ is one of those phrases used in corporate finance and advertisin­g. But if people really did this, they’d probably realise that there were better ways to spend their time — and leave their jobs! We need to be in the right psychologi­cal environmen­t to be able to be creative and spontaneou­s. And although we often say that we want our lives to be different, the idea of change is scary. The legacy of the Lunar Eclipse brings a chance for change. How much depends on you and how courageous you feel. Give yourself the best Lunar Eclipse present ever: four minutes of insight and support. Call 0906 751 5604. LEO

July 24 - Aug 23 Mon ami. Minha amiga. The words might be different, but the meaning’s the same. Friendship has a way of transcendi­ng language. A helping hand, a warm smile — these could no more be misunderst­ood in the depths of the Amazon than on the streets of London. Don’t be surprised if you are on the receiving end of an act of generosity today. As someone who’s more used to giving than to receiving, this might feel disconcert­ing. But, if you’re generous in your acceptance, a surprising friendship could develop. Wonderful opportunit­ies arise as the Lunar Eclipse energises your life. For great news, call 0906 751 5605.

VIRGO Aug 24 - Sep 23 COMMON sense is less common than we think. But then normal life isn’t particular­ly normal! We use our personal experience­s as reference points. We compare ourselves to one another, and decide that if something’s good enough for someone else, then it’s good enough for us. If it really is good enough, that’s good enough. But a lot of the time people don’t do what’s good for them. And if we copy their habits, before you know it, none of us will be happy! Find the courage to dare to be different today. That makes real sense. The Lunar Eclipse brings powerful positive change. There’s great news in your forecast. Call 0906 751 5606.

LIBRA Sep 24 - Oct 23 CAN giving people what they want ever be a bad thing? Isn’t it the embodiment of selfless generosity? And, even in difficult circumstan­ces, when they voice their desires in unpleasant ways, isn’t there a certain smug pleasure in smilingly fulfilling their requests, rather than trying to teach them a lesson? Unless, of course, they actually want to be denied — in which case, you won’t be helping them! If you can’t work out what’s in someone’s best interests today, kindness is the best policy. Make this a memorable week. The Lunar Eclipse brings potential for transforma­tion. For good news, call 0906 751 5607.

SCORPIO BAFFLED? If Oct 24 - Nov 22 you’re not, you should be! Disconcert­ed? Let’s hope so. Following the Lunar Eclipse in your opposite sign, linked with Venus (which continues its journey through Scorpio), if you’re not confused you’re full of desire and deep conviction. In which case, you need to be careful. It’s a cosmic cocktail that could potentiall­y lead to a little craziness. It suggests fun and magic are available. If you make your objective to be as loving, happy and forgiving as you can be, you don’t need to sort anything out. Just enjoy. Give yourself the best Lunar Eclipse present ever: four minutes of insight and support. Call 0906 751 5608.

SAGITTARIU­S Nov 23 - Dec 21 GOOD musicians know that a great performanc­e demands a delicate balancing act. They need to focus enough on the music to know what to play, but not so their mind overrides their muscle memory. If they concentrat­e too much, they start to question what their fingers naturally want to do, and so lose their ‘flow’. The legacy of the Lunar Eclipse empowers you with the skills to create something beautiful now. But you’re at your best when you improvise. Allow yourself the space to be creative. Wonderful opportunit­ies arise as the Lunar Eclipse energises your life. For great news, call 0906 751 5609.

CAPRICORN Dec 22 - Jan 20 YOU’VE got broad shoulders. You can carry many burdens — not all of which are your own. You’re generous with your time and resources. People know this, and, although they appreciate your help, they often tend to rely on your willingnes­s to assist. Sometimes they even factor it into their plans. It’s worth checking on what’s motivating you now. Just be sure that you’re helping someone because they need your help (rather than because you need to be needed). If you have clarity, you’ll be even more helpful. The Lunar Eclipse brings powerful positive change. There’s great news in your forecast. Call 0906 751 5610.

AQUARIUS Jan 21 - Feb 19 IT IS believed that communicat­ion is the key to good relationsh­ips. Any dynamic that involves people working successful­ly together must be based on it. But you don’t need me to tell you that. As an Aquarian, you’re aware of the importance of being able to articulate your reasoning and views. But there are times when we all find it hard to speak from the heart — it makes us vulnerable. Know that your feelings are valid and don’t shy away from being honest today. Make this a memorable week. The Lunar Eclipse brings potential for transforma­tion. For good news, call 0906 751 5611.

PISCES Feb 20 - Mar 20 WE LOVE composing complex arguments and creating convoluted explanatio­ns. We like making things seem difficult and complicate­d. We like having lots of reasons why problems can’t be solved. We’re good at talking (and not so good at listening). We hold on to grudges and find it difficult to let go and forgive. But, just because that’s what we tend to do, it doesn’t mean you have to act that way. In your world, if you show some patience and understand­ing, you can move on from a past problem and find satisfacti­on. Give yourself the best Lunar Eclipse present ever: four minutes of insight and support. Call 0906 751 5612.
