PANDORA’S Box didn’t just contain trouble. Once opened, and its chaos was unleashed, hope fluttered out. In a similar way, the restrictions we’re enduring can be a springboard for creativity. The link between

Jupiter and Pluto may have amplified dark concerns, but even if the path ahead is unclear, it won’t be hidden for ever. The Sun’s involvement suggests there are tunnels to explore and lights at the end of them.

ARIES Mar 21 - Apr 20 WHEN you’re trying to convince a child to try a new taste, a good place to start is the story about green eggs and ham by Doctor Seuss. The moral is that even if you really dislike the look of something, there are ways you can come to appreciate it. You just have to be willing to try. But suppose you taste something and hate the taste of it? Well, at least you’ve learned about something that you really don’t like. Events this weekend enable you to swap something you don’t want for something you do. Ease your troubles. Find the support you need. Your latest forecast contains hopeful advice. Call 0906 751 5601.

TAURUS Apr 21 - May 21 AT TIMES like these, when we’re all having to deal with a different set of rules and go without so many of the things we used to take for granted, we’re bound to experience a gamut of mixed feelings and emotions. As the Sun links to Pluto today, you’re feeling confused about many matters. It’s possible that your feelings about a subject close to your heart are not as straightforward as you’d like them to be. Fortunately, as the cosmic climate changes this weekend, you’ll gain a much-needed sense of stability.

GEMINI May 22 - June 22 IF YOU’VE ever planted a seed, you’ll know that nothing happens overnight. This can be a little deflating for the budding gardener. We want results. We want to see the first sprout . . . that first flower. And with sufficient love and attention, something will emerge, growing as each day goes by. The same is true for our emotional growth. With every day that passes, your perspective grows clearer, your heart wiser. Be proud of how far you’ve come... and excited about how far you’ll go!

Unsure about the direction you’re heading in and what to do for the best? There’s valuable advice. Call 0906 751 5603.

CANCER June 23 - July 23 AS EACH day passes, your understanding grows. You’re receiving information which allows you to reassess an event in the past and see it with new perspective. You can see how it has influenced what’s going on in your present. Since you’ll think again about these issues, try not to jump to conclusions and stay as open-minded as possible this weekend. If you can stay relaxed about the factors that have got you to where you are now, you’ll be able to see the advantages they have brought into your life.

LEO July 24 - Aug 23 IT’S one thing to nod sagely and talk in quiet, authoritative tones about the importance of ‘putting yourself in someone else’s shoes’, but it’s quite another to actually do it. For one thing, have you ever tried wearing someone else’s shoes? It’s an uncomfortable experience! Shoes mould themselves to their wearer’s arch, instep, balance and weight. All the empathy in the world can’t emulate anyone’s exact feelings. It’s worth bearing that in mind as you listen to someone else’s advice this weekend. Ease your troubles. Find the support you need. Your latest forecast contains hopeful advice. Call 0906 751 5605.

VIRGO Aug 24 - Sep 23 THERE is evidence to show that music can influence the amount of milk a cow produces. According to dairy farmers, gentle classical music is the most fruitful, whereas heavy metal has the opposite effect on the yield! This might be worth bearing in mind as you deal with various issues over the weekend. You have a choice about which ‘music’ you play as a background to your thoughts. You can play a soothing track, or something that will energise you. You’re in control of your music and your moods.

LIBRA Sep 24 - Oct 23 AS AN armchair quiz contestant, you might surprise yourself by how many correct answers you get when watching a quiz show on TV. Yet if you were ever to find yourself in front of the camera, under the glare of the studio lights, with a stern quizmaster presenting you with challenging questions, it might be a different story. You’re contemplating an idea that (in theory, at least) should come quite easily to fruition. Don’t allow events this weekend to undermine your confidence. Keep your nerve. Unsure about the direction you’re heading in and what to do for the best? There’s valuable advice. Call 0906 751 5607.

SCORPIO Oct 24 - Nov 22 HOW many of us dream of travelling into space? We picture the journey, the zero gravity, the strangeness of seeing our planet. We’re not so interested in the Moon any more with its barren, unchanging landscape. And, besides, there’s no food or water there. So we imagine what possibilities Mars and other celestial bodies might hold. We fantasise about something remote when we don’t even fully understand what’s under our noses! This weekend, a change close to home brings unexpected joy. Confused? There’s a special message for you when you call your four-minute, week-ahead forecast. Call 0906 751 5608.

SAGITTARIUS PEOPLE Nov 23 - Dec 21 who reach high levels of authority often hedge their bets. They understand the danger of flying a flag for a particular idea; there’s always a chance the situation might change and that their choice might be detrimental to their progress up the ladder. Although they think it’s in everyone’s interest to be non-committal, the truth is that it suits them. Since you’re feeling passionate about a plan, don’t pay any heed to an indifferent attitude this weekend. Follow your heart.

CAPRICORN Dec 22 - Jan 20 THE early days of the internet posed a problem for search engines. How could they process and present the billions of results generated by every search? One company came up with a novel solution: the ‘I’m Feeling Lucky’ button. Rather than trawling through the results, the consumer could choose one at random — a kind of technological serendipity! Ah, what you wouldn’t give for one of those buttons in your world right now. The key to success this weekend lies in knowing when to hope for the best. Uncertain?

AQUARIUS Jan 21 - Feb 19 MOST people know the story of the Ten Commandments. The basic rules that humanity lives by were engraved into big, stone tablets and given to a chap on a mountain. Not many of us will be able to remember all of them, though. If you looked them up, you’d find a number of odd rules that come in such a strange order that their level of importance is unclear. There are some rules that you’re absolutely bound to live by. Watch out you don’t accidentally do something that you really don’t want to do. Unsure about the direction you’re heading in and what to do for the best? There’s valuable advice. Call 0906 751 5611.

PISCES Feb 20 - Mar 20 SOMETIMES, I find that a round-about approach to forecasts can, paradoxically, be the most illuminating. So let me tell you a story. I’m often asked for precise predictions about major sporting or political events. In such circumstances, I consult the stars and give my most educated prediction. Whatever I say, some clients will be overjoyed, while others will be infuriated, alleging bias and discrimination rather than simply accepting the result. In the face of opposition, don’t be afraid to hold your ground. Confused? There’s a special message for you when you call your four-minute, week-ahead forecast. Call 0906 751 5612.
