got him what he wanted — the Moon on a stick! As Venus enters Capricorn, our hearts become more demanding. But the New Moon in Sagittarius suggests that not everything should be taken too seriously!

SOME people live by the mantra that by ‘watching the pennies, the pounds will look after themselves’. Others think it’s a false economy. Why, they wonder, would anyone bother to faff about saving tiny amounts of money when they could be putting their efforts into making a larger sum? On their own, neither approach is perfect. Today, an attempt at achieving balance and proportion can turn a tricky scenario into something far more successful. Try taking a step back today.

GEMINI May 22 - June 22

SOME of the biggest and most sensible human beings are terrified of spiders. Just the mere thought of touching one throws them into paroxysms of fear. When they see one, they either run out of the room, or wreak vengeance on the poor creature. It’s interesting how in certain circumstances, even the strongest among us identifies as being weak. There’s no reason for you to draw such a conclusion about yourself today. Don’t allow a problem to loom bigger than it needs to be.

CANCER June 23 - July 23

IT’S one thing to play by the rules, and to follow the instructions, but it’s worth checking to see whether they’re still in date. There’s a chance they’re telling you to stick to the status quo because life is simpler when we behave as we’re supposed to behave. But what if you’re

craving excitement? Suppose you want to throw the rules out of the window? Would everything come crashing down? If people ever regret anything, they regret what they didn’t do. It’s time to be brave . . . and go for it.

VIRGO Aug 24 - Sep 23

JUST because someone looks good doesn’t mean that everything will go the right way for them. If they have a difficult manner, or an aggressive attitude, people will subtly go out of their way to not help them. Then there are the folk without exceptional physical attributes, who have a way about them that immediately inspires people to want to give them a hand. No matter how you look today, with patience and kindness, you can convince someone to see something from your standpoint. Tonight’s New Moon adds to the auspicious and exciting cosmic climate.

LIBRA Sep 24 - Oct 23

YOU will have noticed that I’ve been encouraging you to find a positive approach to your problems recently. I’ve also recognised that there are times when my optimism can be easily dismissed; I have a reputation for seeing the best in even the trickiest astrological alignments. So you might be tempted to write my positivity off as whimsical. That’s OK by me! No one’s forcing you to take anything too seriously. But as Venus moves into Capricorn, it will make a very exciting difference indeed.

SAGITTARIUS Nov 23 - Dec 21

THE art of making something out of nothing becomes magic in the hands of skilful magicians. Whether it’s a rabbit out of a hat, or a coin out of thin air, the audience is impressed by such ingenious tricks. Yet there are other equally, if not more, impressive skills that

non-magicians are able to perform, such as calming troubled waters, and smoothing over difficult situations. Today the New Moon brings the very helpful ability to make nothing out of something!

CAPRICORN Dec 22 - Jan 20

YOU rather enjoy a good debate. Most people who know you understand that when you have an alternative point of view, especially if you’re challenging assumptions, you’re able to express yourself with confidence. Yet it might surprise them to learn that you’ve been using your debating skills against yourself to deconstruct a recent decision. Today, as Venus moves into your sign, it encourages the gentler side of your personality to express itself. You can begin to agree with yourself now!

AQUARIUS Jan 21 - Feb 19

PEOPLE whose job involves providing professional criticism can’t afford to be too extravagant with their praise. Their job involves finding faults, and if they’re too kind in their appraisal, they will be criticised by fellow critics. That’s why they tend to be harsh — it ensures they keep their edgy reputations. It’s worth considering why someone is judging you harshly at the moment. If you can understand rather than react, the tables will turn. Positivity can replace disapproval. Tonight’s New Moon adds to the auspicious and exciting cosmic climate.

PISCES Feb 20 - Mar 20

THE Red Flag Act of 1865 was issued in response to fears regarding the safety of road vehicles. Britain’s government decreed that such dangerous machines with multiple wagons would only be allowed on the road if someone walked in front of them, holding a flag and warning people to get out of the way. Nowadays, moving at a brisk walking pace would be preferable to being stuck in all the traffic! Attitudes change over time. The New Moon indicates you can move on from an issue that makes you anxious.
