‘BEHIND every beautiful thing there’s been some kind of pain,’ sang Bob Dylan. As the Sun/Venus aspect peaks on his birthday today, this lyric is apt. This link between the planets of love and heroism has been building since mid-May, and continues to affect our emotions with a longevity befitting Bob’s career. It helps us to strive for love despite hurts. He also wrote: ‘What looks large from a distance, close-up ain’t never that big.’

ARIES Mar 21 - Apr 20 PEOPLE who work in mental health talk about the ‘inner child’. Even the most professional people on the planet have, in their psyche, a child-like persona, which affects their decision-making and life choices. This inner child isn’t necessarily always on the verge of a tantrum! It can encourage us to be playful. We also all have an inner parent, who is on hand to share wisdom. You need to get in touch with the wisest, most sensible side of yourself today. How? Follow your heart. It has the best advice going. How can you stay focused and happy? Your weekly forecast will give you the help you need. Call 0906 751 5601.

TAURUS Apr 21 - May 21 THERE are some parts of our planet where the Sun is guaranteed to shine most of the time. People who live in these locations are delighted by the sight of a cloud. In other places, a bright shiny day is a cause for great celebration. Perspective has similar qualities to sunshine. When we’ve got it, we think we’ll always have it. When we haven’t got it, we struggle to remember what it feels like. As the Sun empowers your ruler, Venus, today, get ready for a delightful moment of clarity that reveals a solution.

GEMINI May 22 - June 22 WHY do we let others judge us? What gives someone the right to criticise our behaviour? Actually, there’s only one thing that bestows that kind of permission. And that’s our judgment of this other person! When we see their opinion as valid, accept their viewpoint and are willing to give them the power to assess us, we allow them to pass judgment. Fortunately, if we don’t like what they say we can take that power straight back. No one’s more capable of assessing a situation than you today. There’s no need to worry. All you need is some guidance. Your week-ahead forecast can help. Call 0906 751 5603.

CANCER IMAGINE how June 23 - July 23 good it would be if we all had our own cheerleader. This person would be present on the sidelines of our life, cheering us on and encouraging us with motivating songs and dance routines. No doubt they’d tell us that we were wonderful, inspired and brilliant — even when we weren’t! And we’d feel empowered to achieve more than we would without them. Even though this is a fantastical notion, with Venus, in your sign, linking with the Sun, cosmic support is yours today. Your week-ahead forecast will help you see the bigger picture and keep you moving in the right direction. Call 0906 751 5604.

THERE’S a saying ‘first to innovate, first to go out of date’. To prove the validity of this, the example of the Neanderthals is often given. Yet the more we learn about these people, the more advanced they prove to be. Not only did they paint and build complex structures, they were masterful hunters. And since they’re our ancestors, we can assume they were good at relationships, too! An innovative idea is forming in your mind. Be patient. You’re creating a legacy that will last a long time. Solve problems. Ease troubles. Find solutions! In your latest forecast, you’ll discover something very helpful. Call 0906 751 5610.

AQUARIUS TO WHAT Jan 21 - Feb 19 degree can we afford to depend on others? Isn’t there always a chance that someone has misunderstood something? We all make mistakes: it’s part and parcel of life. So, shouldn’t we be watching for errors that others might be making, in the hope that they’re watching to see that we’re not messing up? Of course, there’s a difference between kindly pointing out an oversight and criticising. If you gently guide someone along their path today, you’ll benefit, too. Make the most of your opportunities. Your latest, in-depth, four-minute forecast has inspiring news. Call 0906 751 5611.

Although you’re having to deal with an issue you’d prefer to ignore today, if you face it head on and take clear, decisive action, you’ll learn a lot, and set an example that will teach others about a good way of being, too.
