‘SHINRIN-YOKU’ is the practice of immersing in nature to cleanse and reconnect to a simpler lifestyle. The concept has many benefits. As Venus comes home to earthy Taurus, the cosmos encourages us to ground ourselves in the physical, natural environmen­t. No matter how many ideas are competing for our attention, what’s real is what we can touch.

ARIES Mar 21 - Apr 20 When writers are looking for ways to inject excitement into their narrative, there’s a literary device that always works: the race against time. The more pressure the characters are under, the more engaged the audience feels. Great in fiction. Not so great when everything starts to feel ‘touch and go’ in real life. That’s not entertaini­ng. The situation you’re dealing with might feel unnerving. Things aren’t as calm and secure as you’d like. But if you take the pressure off, you’ll see you’ve got time to get things right. There’s so much to tell you about May, and you’re going to like it! Do yourself a favour. Call 0906 751 5601. TAURUS Apr 21 - May 21 Venus, your ruling planet, entering your sign is good news for your love life, your finances and your ability to find solutions to long-standing problems. Today, a time of creativity begins; not only can you see what other people need (and help them), in the process your own needs will be met. Get ready for some passion and excitement too. As long as your intentions are based on kindness and generosity, you’ll find ways to ensure that whatever comes along, you’ll be able to turn it into something positive. Make your dreams come true in May! Call your four-minute, in-depth forecast: 0906 751 5602.

GEMINI May 22 - June 22 According to the Infinite Monkey Theorem, if a monkey sits at a keyboard for an infinite amount of time, it will produce the complete works of Shakespear­e (and any other literary work you can think of). Hmmm... the problem is that you’re under time pressure. Whether it’s an obligation to fulfil, or an idea you need to have, you’ve got a deadline. Plus, you don’t want to spend an eternity on this. You want to get it done and move on. With Venus changing signs, your creativity is heightened. Focus... and you’ll succeed. It’s nearly May! For uplifting news on next month’s exciting opportunit­ies call 0906 751 5603.

CANCER June 23 - July 23 We get so entrenched in our ways that we can grow accustomed to feeling uncomforta­ble. Maybe our preferred sleeping position gives us a backache. But that’s how we fall asleep — so we don’t think about changing it. This syndrome affects us on a psychologi­cal level too. We do things out of habit that aren’t always good for us. As Venus moves into a new home, with just

a small amount of self-discipline you can make an adjustment to your routine that changes your mindset... and empowers you into action. To hear valuable informatio­n about the changes you can implement in May, call your month-ahead forecast: 0906 751 5604.

LEO July 24 - Aug 23 If you were interviewe­d about where you go to find comfort, warmth and reassuranc­e, what would you say? Hopefully, you wouldn’t have to think too hard to answer the question. But if you’re wondering why you’re struggling to find these qualities in your world, hope is at hand. As Venus, planet of love and luxury, changes signs, be on the lookout for events and occurrence­s that open possibilit­ies for developing new connection­s. It’s by investing in positive relationsh­ips that you’ll find the support and care you deserve. May is due to be amazing! For four minutes of news that could change your life, call 0906 751 5605. VIRGO Aug 24 - Sep 23 When you’re embarking on something challengin­g, humming the Mission Impossible tune can be helpful. I caught myself whistling it the other day. I mention it, because it’s possible that you’re facing a real impossibil­ity. You’re under pressure to meet someone else’s needs, and it’s putting you in an unfeasible situation. No wonder you don’t feel like humming! Yet if you can summon up a bit of positivity, you’ll find you’re less stuck than you think. Start by being kind to yourself. The possibilit­ies will start to appear. For encouragin­g news about what May holds for you, call your month-ahead forecast: 0906 751 5606.

LIBRA Sep 24 - Oct 23 You know those fairground roundabout­s where children sit in little cars and trains? They love tooting the horn and turning the steering wheel. They’re oblivious to the fact that they’re having no impact on the direction they’re moving in. There are times when, as adults, it feels like we’re stuck on one of those rides. Whatever we do, we don’t seem to make any progress. Today, as your ruler, Venus, moves into its other celestial home, you can take a small action that will have a big effect on your life. This can be fun. May is full of potential. For news that will help make the most of your cosmic opportunit­ies, call 0906 751 5607. SCORPIO Oct 24 - Nov 22 Some ideas are brilliant, yet unworkable. Others, which don’t seem particular­ly innovative, are more practical; they work. And the best ideas of all? They’re the ones that are simple and doable. But they don’t tend to come along very often. Or, if they do, maybe we’re not in the right frame of mind to recognise them. So... stay alert to inspiring thoughts today. There’s a good chance you’re about to have a genius idea. To find it, have confidence in your ability to see something that others have overlooked. Even if you don’t usually call your in-depth phone forecast, there’s excellent news in your May prediction. Call 0906 751 5608. SAGITTARIU­S Nov 23 - Dec 21 ‘The more things change, the more they stay the same.’ I love this expression because it sounds slightly ridiculous. How can things that change stay the same? I suspect it alludes to the fact that whatever the changes in our outer world, they’re not necessaril­y reflected in our inner world — just because we’ve got a new boss, it doesn’t mean our work/life balance improves. So is there any point in trying your hardest to transform an aspect of your life? Absolutely. Your attitude has altered. And that can change everything. May’s cosmic climate inspires positive change. Make it a month to remember! Call 0906 751 5609. CAPRICORN Dec 22 - Jan 20 Our friends and enemies have more in common than we think. When we dislike people it’s often because we’ve got lots in common with them. If we spent time together, we’d agree about lots of things. It’s the small issues of disagreeme­nt that cause problems. And if we found ourselves in the company of someone from a completely different corner of the world, it would be easy to get along. You can be the conduit for a conversati­on between people who are in a dispute. The healing will be to everyone’s benefit (including you). Ready for May? Take full advantage of the exciting cosmic climate! For inspiring news, call 0906 751 5610. AQUARIUS Jan 21 - Feb 19 When our hearts are focused on the right dream, person, or goal, life seems to flow. So, heed your instincts today. As Venus changes signs, like a neon arrow they will point you towards your next brilliant move. Channel your sensitivit­y and kindness; they’re the superpower­s that will gain you the advantage of great support. Just because our planet is full of people who use force to get to the top, it doesn’t mean you need to emulate them. Being inspired by love (and letting go of your fear) is key to a refreshing change. Your powerful prediction for May is ready. For top tips and powerful insight, call 0906 751 5611.

PISCES Feb 20 - Mar 20 We’re told that the past is over and impossible to change, and that the future can be shaped to suit us. But is that true? Or is everything predestine­d? This mystery certainly makes life interestin­g! Actually, history is more malleable than we think. When we reassess our view of past events, we change our relationsh­ip with them; and that has a big effect on our present as well as our future. Today brings an opportunit­y for you to review a recent difficult situation and see it in a new light. A change of perspectiv­e will improve everything. Your in-depth May forecast could be one of the most rewarding calls you ever make. Call 0906 751 5612.
