WHEN idealism meets reality, there’s sometimes a clash. Following Elon Musk’s Twitter takeover, there’s talk of the need for an online area where free speech is protected. Sadly, the internet can be a dangerous place. Yet in the analogue world we needn’t fear sharing views today. As Mercury and Saturn link, it pays to be serious. And Venus and Neptune insist that kindness will be more inspiring than criticism.
ARIES Mar 21 - Apr 20
CERTAIN people take great delight in finding fault and picking holes in everything. As soon as we open our mouths they pounce and criticise whatever is said. Since the speed of their attack usually catches us off guard, it’s easy to think they’re right and our confidence is undermined. Which is exactly what they want. Destabilised, we stumble, lose our momentum and assume we’ve got things wrong. Today, the only mistake you could make is to take someone’s criticism too seriously. Shrug it off. The Lunar Eclipse brings positive change. There’s great news in your forecast. Call 0906 751 5601.
TAURUS Apr 21 - May 21
THERE’S an ancient Indian folktale involving a king who draws a line in the sand. He asks his advisers to prove their wisdom by making the line shorter without touching it. While most of them are confounded, one adviser draws a second, longer line directly next to the first. Compared to this line, the first appears shorter! Comparison is a powerful tool, which you can use to great effect. Try applying the same principle to an issue you’re dealing with. It’s never going to get as bad as it could get. Make this a memorable week. The Lunar Eclipse brings potential for transformation. For good news, call 0906 751 5602.
GEMINI May 22 - June 22
DO YOU need to have a good talk with someone? Is there a conversation that needs to be held? Are you worried that you won’t hear what you want to hear? Or anxious that the topic you need to talk about will cause a disagreement? As your ruler Mercury links with Saturn, it’s a good moment to bring a contentious subject into the open. If you’re honest, you can instigate a pleasing dialogue and ease tensions. You need to take this opportunity to resolve an issue. There’s a chance that you’ll find a solution. Give yourself the best Lunar Eclipse present: four minutes of insight. Call 0906 751 5603.
CANCER June 23 - July 23
IT’S unsettling to see someone trying to defend themselves from a perceived position of weakness. Thrown off balance, they lose faith in their power. Panicking, they clutch at straws or, worse, show an inappropriate display of force. If they’d only take stock, they’d realise they’re not in the weak position they think. Where in your world might someone be imagining themselves to be at a disadvantage, when in truth, they’ve got everything going for them? Reassess your situation. You’re in a stronger position than you think. Opportunities arise as the Lunar Eclipse energises your life. For great news, call 0906 751 5604.
LEO July 24 - Aug 23
WE ALL know the sinking feeling that comes from thinking that everything’s fine and suddenly realising that it’s not. It throws us into disarray. How could we have been so foolish? Yet we also recognise those moments when we’ve been dealing with so many problems that we feel as if we’re wading through quicksand when, suddenly, we realise that we’re not as stuck as we thought. And then we wonder how we could ever have been so foolish! Today brings a solution to a sticky problem, grab hold of it. The Lunar Eclipse brings powerful positive change. There’s great news in your forecast. Call 0906 751 5605.
VIRGO Aug 24 - Sep 23
THE ability to examine a problem from another angle is a good technique to employ. But when some people find themselves facing an uncomfortable situation, they find a way to twist and bend it so that it resembles something else entirely. Theories and hypotheses are easy to manipulate in this way. But facts are harder to mould. As Mercury, your ruler, links with Saturn, your ability to discern fact from fiction is heightened. If you stand back and reassess, you’ll find a brilliant way to proceed. Make this a memorable week. The Lunar Eclipse brings potential for transformation. For good news, call 0906 751 5606.
LIBRA Sep 24 - Oct 23
WOULD you mind closing your eyes? Now, what can you see? If the answer is ‘nothing’, close them again. And focus. As Venus, your ruler, links with Neptune (the planet of dreams), if you allow yourself the space to be creative you’ll see a vision of your future. And that’s a cosmic gift you don’t want to miss. Pay close attention to your innermost thoughts today. And, if something inspiring pops into your mind, hold on to it. Write it down. Don’t miss an insight that could influence your world in a very positive way. Give yourself the best Lunar Eclipse present ever: four minutes of insight and support. Call 0906 751 5607.
SCORPIO Oct 24 - Nov 22
THEY tell us that wisdom comes with age and experience. But is that true? Don’t newborn babies have an air of wisdom in their innocence? They’re astonished by everything yet they care about nothing. Since we tend to care about everything but are rarely astonished, maybe wisdom isn’t a quality we learn; it’s something we need to remember. Can you be willing to trust today? Not if you have a real doubt about someone or something. But if you’re willing to be amazed, you’ll be delighted by what the day brings. Opportunities arise as the Lunar Eclipse energises your life. For great news, call 0906 751 5608.
SAGITTARIUS Nov 23 - Dec 21
HERE is a question: could your capacity for tolerance be holding you back from achieving your potential? Your enthusiasm and your optimistic nature mean that you’re good at managing the unmanageable and enduring what other people might consider to be unendurable. You’re philosophical. You’re able to forgive. But sometimes you’re too willing to believe what you want to. As Venus and Neptune link, it’s an ideal moment to reassess any habits that might hold you back. The Lunar Eclipse brings powerful positive change. There’s great news in your forecast. Call 0906 751 5609.
CAPRICORN Dec 22 - Jan 20
IT’S not possible to know how other people see us and what they really think about us. Can you imagine what you’d learn if you had the ability to see yourself through someone else’s eyes? The experience might be constructive. You might be pleasantly surprised by what folk think and expect of you. Currently you’re aware of the fact that certain individuals have a strange notion of who you are and what you ‘should’ be doing. Today, as Mercury links with your ruler, it’s time to challenge their assumptions. And set the record straight. The Lunar Eclipse brings potential for transformation. For good news, call 0906 751 5610.
AQUARIUS Jan 21 - Feb 19
AS KIDS, we’re taught that if we haven’t got anything nice to say, we shouldn’t say anything at all. So it’s little wonder that we grow up reticent to speak hard truths and voice realities. Is this something we need to overcome? Maybe. But the counterpoint is to remember that if you know something that needs to be said, other people almost certainly know it, too. If you’re hesitant about saying something difficult, it’s OK to let time pass. A situation is transforming. And your views are altering, too. Give yourself the best Lunar Eclipse present ever: four minutes of insight. Call 0906 751 5611.
PISCES Feb 20 - Mar 20
ACCORDING to the Buddha, ‘the instant we feel anger, we’ve already stopped striving for the truth and have begun to strive for ourselves’. It’s a fascinating take on this challenging emotion. Yet anger can be a useful tool, too. When properly harnessed and directed in the right way, it can energise us to fight injustice. When it’s repressed, it can affect our health and wellbeing. If someone (or something) is making you unhappy, your ruler’s link to Venus empowers you to voice your concerns, in a skilful, effective way today. Wonderful opportunities arise as the Lunar Eclipse energises your life. For great news, call 0906 751 5612.
