THIS week’s eclipse will be visible from Indonesia where, last week, there was a dreadful earthquake. Many astrologers might see a symbolic connection in this but eclipses don’t just affect the places from which they are visible. Psychologically, they influence us all. they represent turning points, apparent ends followed by bright beginnings. Often they herald crisis followed by resolution, disasters which precede recovery or a collapse that comes before a revival! the issues raised may be emotional, physical, political or economic depending on other cosmic conditions and factors in our personal birth charts.

ARIES Mar 21 — Apr 20

IS THIS a pleasant planet? Is the world a happy place? We don’t have to look far, it seems, to see evidence of hardship, stress and strife. Newspapers help us read all about it and, wherever we go, we see screens relaying images of conflict. Might this simply be an indication of a universal tendency to be fascinated by turmoil or trouble, even in small amounts? Do we, perhaps, make more of it than we should? In essence, your life, this week, is good enough and soon you will see more proof of that. This week’s potent solar eclipse can have a huge impact on you. Call your in-depth forecast: 0906 751 5601.

TAURUS Apr 21 — May 21

FROM an early age, we are encouraged to develop opinions. We are asked, ‘What do you think about this?’ Or, ‘How do you feel about that?’ If we continually reply, ‘I don’t really know,’ we are somehow, subtly made to feel inadequate. It is assumed that strong people hold strong views and that those who experience uncertainty must be weak. But how much courage does it really take to concede the existence of a truly tricky question? Be brave enough, today, to acknowledge what you don’t know. How will the stunning solar eclipse change your life? Call for your weekahead forecast. Call 0906 751 5602.

GEMINI May 22 — June 22

DO YOU believe in magic? That’s a silly question to ask a Gemini. You’ve got great faith in logic. But then, isn’t logic a kind of magic? And hey, why are you reading this forecast? Many would say that astrology, in itself, is a kind of magic! More might say the world is full of things that seem magical because they are inexplicable. Once we understand what’s going on, mystery evaporates and understanding deepens. But isn’t this a magical process too? Expect that kind of magic this week.

CANCER June 23 — July 23

WHEN builders knock down walls, they may insert a temporary prop to hold up the ceiling above. It may remain for weeks, taking the strain and providing support until someone builds a more permanent pillar. Do you feel like the acrow prop that time forgot? Does it seem as if you have just been abandoned, standing in a position of responsibility? This week, the eclipse shows you why there is no mistake about the situation you are in. Once you become more comfortable with that idea, you can thrive. I’ve got news you need to hear about this week’s powerful solar eclipse. For lifechanging insight: 0906 751 5604.

LEO July 24 — Aug 23

SO MUCH seems so serious. It cannot be right to make light of a sensitive subject. Or can it? Might there only be positive progress once a sense of perspective has been attained? Objectivity is not just useful, it is essential. You have to stand outside a situation, at least briefly, before you can get back inside and alter it for the better. This week’s eclipse speaks of you finding the courage to stand tall and proud in the face of an authority so seemingly high and mighty it once cast a shadow over you. This week’s potent solar eclipse can have a huge impact on you. Call your in-depth forecast: 0906 751 5605.

VIRGO Aug 24 — Sep 23

WHAT does someone expect of you? What do you expect of them? We put ourselves under much pressure. We try hard to be what someone else wants us to be or, at least, what we think they want. Though we may also make great effort not to project unreasonable assumptions on to our companions, we find it hard not to also hope they will provide what we want. Sometimes they do and sometimes small misunderstandings lead to big rifts. Such problems can be healed under this week’s eclipse. How will the stunning solar eclipse change your life?

LIBRA Sep 24 — Oct 23

WHY do we do things the way they have always been done? Is it because the old ways are the best? A process may have been tried but we can’t automatically assume it has been properly tested. A plan may work but that isn’t to say you couldn’t find a way to make it work more efficiently. Generally, we stick with tradition because it stops us having to think. Yet this week’s important eclipse obliges you to consider carefully what you are doing and why. This then leads you to instigate a profitable change.

SCORPIO Oct 24 — Nov 22

HERE is how a common mistake is made. An undesirable development occurs or a difficult situation arises. We think, ‘Oh, I have got such rotten luck, why is this happening?’ We start to feel so miffed about our situation, we lose all enthusiasm for putting it right. ‘What’s the point?’ we wonder. ‘It will probably all go wrong again soon enough.’ That expectation of frustration becomes a selffulfilling prophecy. This week, though, the eclipse helps you escape a self-perpetuating spiral of negativity. I’ve got news you need to hear about this week’s powerful solar eclipse.

SAGITTARIUS Nov 23 — Dec 21

DOES the world put us under pressure or do we put ourselves under pressure? Be careful how you answer, it is a trick question. It is not a case of either/or — it is a matter of both. On those rare, glorious occasions when we find ourselves able to relax because nobody seems to be expecting too much of us, we then have to ignore our own inner critic who wants to remind us of tasks we have left incomplete. Today doesn’t need to be stressful, as long as you trust your heart more than your head. This week’s potent solar eclipse can have a huge impact on you. Call your in-depth forecast: 0906 751 5609.

CAPRICORN Dec 22 — Jan 20

‘HONESTY,’, they say, ‘is the best policy.’ When people say this, are they telling the truth? Are they, perhaps, encouraging others to divulge more information in the hope that this will create a smokescreen to divert attention away from some issue they might prefer not to have to discuss? Where, in any effort to attain and maintain genuine honesty, does the need for candour supersede the need for discretion? Wrestle carefully with such questions this week, and you will make delicate but positive progress. How will the stunning solar eclipse change your life? Call for your week-ahead forecast. Call 0906 751 5610.

AQUARIUS Jan 21 — Feb 19

WHY are actors so sincere about the roles they portray? Aren’t they engaged in the ultimate form of artifice? They are pretending to be who they are not. They want us to believe what, deep within their hearts, they know to be untrue. We, the audience, wish them every success. It is in our best interests that they deceive us. We feel cheated if they fail to cheat us! Yet do such rules apply away from stage and camera? If you are going to put on a show this week, you had better make it a good one. Discover what this week’s solar eclipse means for you. Call your forecast for great news: 0906 751 5611.

PISCES Feb 20 — Mar 20

WE GET misty-eyed when we stop to think about the special people in our lives and the important connections we have to them. We dwell in a happy idyll until we find that, instead, of just remembering them and imagining them, we are actually interacting and they have annoying characteristics that we had conveniently forgotten all about. This week, you must adjust to a reality that isn’t quite as cosy and a fantasy. But once you make that step, you will be more than happy with where it leads you to. I’ve got news you need to hear about this week’s powerful solar eclipse. For life-changing insight: 0906 751 5612.
