It’s not just the magic of the number three that’s exciting about the influence of the stellium, because this particular group of three planets isn’t working alone. Along with passionate Mars and intense Pluto, they’re creating a Minor t-square, which provides the momentum to follow words with actions. Pluto likes moving stealthily . . . so there’s a sense that we can keep our cards close to our chests and not reveal our hand unless we want to. But it’s possible to subtly change tricky situations today.

ARIES Mar 21 — Apr 20

THERE’S a saying I really like, which feels particularly relevant as we feel the pressure of the festive season: ‘There’s no time like the present and no present like the gift of time.’ I like it because it’s true! The best gift we can give each other is our care and attention. As your ruler connects with Pluto, it brings extra sensitivity your way. You have the ability to intuit someone’s needs and help them make a tangible move towards improving their world. Be generous with yourself today.

TAURUS Apr 21 — May 21

SOME people hate anchovies. The pungent fishiness is simply too much for them to handle. Others love them so much that they put them in every dish they can. But even these diners probably had a moment of doubt when they first tried the little fishes. They had to learn to appreciate the flavour and acclimatise to their saltiness. Sometimes, we need to acquire a taste for something new. Other times, the metaphorical food we’re being offered will never suit our palates. What’s on your plate today? It’s a time of unusual cosmic activity, as a powerful Stellium forms in the sky. Find out how to maximise its powers. Call 0906 751 5602.

GEMINI May 22 — June 22

NO MATTER how hard you try, some things are just impossible. That’s not to say, though, that you shouldn’t make an attempt. Conversely, some things are almost too easy. Yet that doesn’t mean you’ll attain more by doing them. If you find yourself feeling irritated by someone today, it’s likely that you’re being affected by something from the past rather than what’s actually going on. The problem has its roots in a memory. It’s simply an indication that you need to just let go, and move on. Opportunities arise as a powerful Stellium forms in the sky. For news about the good fortune it can bring, call 0906 751 5603.

CANCER June 23 — July 23

YOU don’t need a great hand to win a game of cards. That doesn’t mean that you can rely on chance in the poker game of life, though, because success requires a certain amount of skill and judgment. What’s important today is not whether you have an extraordinary advantage, but whether you have the patience and self-assurance to pull off your idea. As the Minor T-Square forms overhead, you’ll do well if you keep your cards close to your chest. Stay poker-faced today and you’ll be smiling soon enough. It’s a time of unusual cosmic activity, as a powerful Stellium forms in the sky. Find out how to maximise its powers. Call 0906 751 5604.

LEO July 24 — Aug 23

WHEN you’ve collected all your eggs in the same basket, you take a risk of dropping the lot. If, on the other hand, you put them in different bags, you might not remember where they all are — which could lead to an unhappy, messy discovery at a later date. You’ve got something to do which warrants you taking all your eggs along with you. Since they’ve all got to go in one box, you’re going to have to travel with caution. As long as you take care of your load, you’ll arrive safely, with all your assets intact. Opportunities arise as a powerful Stellium forms in the sky. For news about the good fortune it can bring, call 0906 751 5605.

VIRGO Aug 24 — Sep 23

WE ALL like to have tried-and-tested strategies which we confidently resort to time and again. When we want to guarantee a perfect outcome, we can spend hours imagining and dissecting every possible scenario, potential hiccup or hypothetical event. Yet overthinking ideas often creates confusion. You’re an adaptable Virgoan. You understand the power that comes from being able to respond to a situation with fluidity of thought. To be your smartest self today, you simply need to adapt. It’s a time of unusual cosmic activity, as a powerful Stellium forms in the sky. Find out how to maximise its powers. Call 0906 751 5606.

LIBRA Sep 24 — Oct 23

WHEN you think of it, the winners of the rat race of life are . . . rats! Which is why there are some arguments that aren’t worth getting involved in, and some contests that aren’t worth entering. As the Stellium forms in the sky, you don’t need to lower your standards to anyone else’s level. It’s not easy to stay aloof when you’re being subtly pulled into playing a game you don’t want to play. So don’t be goaded into making a response. Stay true to yourself and keep your self-respect intact. Opportunities arise as a powerful Stellium forms in the sky. For news about the good fortune it can bring, call 0906 751 5607.

SCORPIO Oct 24 — Nov 22

THE gurus of the ‘self-help’ world are full of advice, telling us to fill our time with purpose and positivity. They talk about the value of managing our time effectively, setting realistic goals and feeling in control. Yet life on our spinning ball of rock is supposed to flow with its own rhythm. The most satisfying way to live is to find a way to adapt to its tides and flow along with them. As Mars and your ruler connect today, you don’t need to take charge. You can trust what’s happening naturally — and relax. It’s a time of unusual cosmic activity, as a powerful Stellium forms in the sky. Find out how to maximise its powers. Call 0906 751 5608.

SAGITTARIUS Nov 23 — Dec 21

IMAGINE the irony of having the physique of a sumo wrestler, yet believing yourself to be weak and vulnerable. You might end up employing someone smaller than yourself to protect you! People would quake with fear when you thought you were gently putting your hand out to help them. But this isn’t about your physical attributes. It’s a suggestion that you’re more capable and stronger than you think. If you admit your potential, it will help you to aid someone else today. Opportunities arise as a powerful Stellium forms in the sky. For news about the good fortune it can bring, call 0906 751 5609.

CAPRICORN Dec 22 — Jan 20

SOME people follow their plans with militaristic rigidity. If they’ve said: ‘We’re doing X at Y time, and Z will have to be finished by then,’ nothing satisfies them more than seeing everything playing out like clockwork. If fate conspires to thwart their plans, they become agitated and unsettled. But surely it’s preferable to be borne aloft on a wave of spontaneity than to trudge the slow and steady path of how things ‘should be’? As Mars and Pluto link, you’re free to follow your own road today. It’s a time of unusual cosmic activity, as a powerful Stellium forms in the sky. Find out how to maximise its powers. Call 0906 751 5610.

AQUARIUS Jan 21 — Feb 19

IT’S quite interesting to note how quickly we learn to cope with difficult situations. Within no time at all, we settle in and start to feel comfy. In the same way we learn to walk with a bad knee, we find a technique that enables us to carry on. When the problem has resolved, the trouble is that we’ve got so used to the adaptations we made that we’ve forgotten their existence. It’s time for you to let go of something that once served you well, but is unnecessary and energy-sapping now. Opportunities arise as a powerful Stellium forms in the sky. For news about the good fortune it can bring, call 0906 751 5611.

PISCES Feb 20 — Mar 20

ALBERT EINSTEIN said: ‘God does not play dice with the universe.’ I wouldn’t dare to disagree with the maestro of physics, but that doesn’t mean the universe doesn’t love a game of hide-and-seek. Things often seem impossibly out of reach, or out of sight. Then, as we’re about to give up, they appear as if from a puff of smoke. You’ve been wrestling with so much, it’s hardly any wonder that you’re beginning to think that life is unjust. But really it’s full of surprises. And the next one looks good. It’s a time of unusual cosmic activity, as a powerful Stellium forms in the sky. Find out how to maximise its powers. Call 0906 751 5612.
