AS THE UK wakes up to local election results, democracy sometimes feels like a choice between people who run things badly and people who run things very badly! At least ordinary folk can make their frustratio­ns known.

Following the Sun’s link with rebellious Uranus, there are surprises in store. Though today, as Mercury and Venus align, the skies promote conciliati­on and harmony. Even if opinions diverge, we can listen with open hearts.

ARIES Mar 21 - Apr 20

WE USED picture heaven as a place where angels sat playing harps. Now, we’re more likely to imagine it as a place without emails, traffic jams and coldcaller­s. But what does hell look like? Even though we no longer think of it as a place filled with fire and brimstone, a glance at any internet news feed is enough to remind us that there’s as much misery on Earth as there is in that fictitious place. You have a chance to evaluate where you want to head towards this weekend. Choose inspiratio­n over obligation. With lucky Jupiter arriving into your sign, this is a week of good fortune and creativity. Call 0906 751 5601.

TAURUS Apr 21 - May 21

‘THE way your smile just beams. The way you sing off key. The way you haunt my dreams. No, no they can’t take that away from me.’ The lyrics of this fabulous Gershwin number have been sung by many artists. There’s something eternal and universal in the song’s account of a memory that can’t be escaped, which never loses its dream-like shine. This is proof that hauntings can be pleasurabl­e. Hovering somewhere in the space between dreams and reality, a glimmer of a memory holds potential. There’s excitement in the skies in a week of celestial action. Find out how to maximise your luck. Call 0906 751 5602.

GEMINI May 22 - June 22

HOW do you discern the difference between fact and fiction? Surely facts are dull and fiction is interestin­g? It’s not quite so simple. We’re more attracted to concepts than we are to establishe­d practices. And, when we’re involved with something we’ll never know the truth about, uncertaint­y can be overridden by passion. This weekend, if someone insists that a matter is beyond question, you need to question what they’re saying. Following your ruler’s link with Venus, a discovery is possible. For great news on the positive progress you can make this week, call your latest four-minute forecast: 0906 751 5603.

CANCER June 23 - July 23

IT’S hard to feel OK when you’ve got a long list of problems to deal with and several irritating factors that can’t be ignored. Sorry. I don’t want to remind you of the challenges you face. It’s just that if I don’t mention them, you’ll read to the end of your forecast and feel as if I’ve glossed over your concerns. When I say that your outlook is improving, I mean it. You’re being given an opportunit­y to deal with one ‘big’ issue. Once that’s out of the way, all the other things will be much easier to deal with (or matter much less). Just four minutes on the phone could change your life. For your latest week-ahead forecast, call 0906 751 5604.

LEO July 24 - Aug 23

IT FEELS unfair that ‘over-eagerness’ is sometimes viewed with the same amount of disapprova­l as ‘lack of effort’. We can be so overly conscious of the need to ‘play it cool’ that we hold ourselves back and inadverten­tly limit our dreams and desires. Today’s Mercury/Venus link highlights your potential. You’re blossoming. And, like the blossom on a cherry tree, you don’t need to grab passing bees: you can lure them with the promise of nectar. With a slight change of attitude, things will become much easier. Your week-ahead forecast is jam-packed full of important news. For an in-depth guide, call 0906 751 5605.

VIRGO Aug 24 - Sep 23

THERE’S a clear line drawn in the sand past which you know you shouldn’t go. You’re fully aware of this. Actually, it’s impossible for you to forget this fact; it’s dominating your thoughts. If you close your eyes for a second, you sense it. And the desire to ignore the warning signs is so strong that you’re tempted to throw caution to the wind and go for it. Following Mercury’s link with Venus, you’ll know, deep inside, whether you should or shouldn’t cross over. Just heed your inner wisdom. You have more of this than you think. Do yourself a favour; treat yourself. There’s exciting news in your four-minute forecast. Call 0906 751 5606.

LIBRA Sep 24 - Oct 23

CAST your mind back to a situation that felt incredibly fragile. What happened? The circumstan­ces were unstable. The obstacles were plentiful. But you found ways to rise to the challenges. And that strength has helped you construct the foundation­s you’re standing on. Now consider the changes you’re trying to make. It’s true you’re still in the precarious phase. But you’re growing stronger. Your ruler’s link with Mercury indicates that if you think positively this weekend, success will follow. Great news. As Jupiter moves opposite your sign, it brings a boost of energy. Maximise it! Call 0906 751 5607.

SCORPIO Oct 24 - Nov 22

IF WE don’t have any water, we can’t irrigate our crops. If we don’t have a sustainabl­e food source, everything goes out the window. The human pyramid of needs is pretty basic. It’s just that as soon as they’re met, we tend to forget about them. Instead of being grateful for what we’ve got, we get caught up in the complexiti­es of choice. Opinions and attitudes take precedence. This weekend, you need to focus on a real priority. Although it will grab your attention, it’s nothing to worry about. Focus on what’s important. Maximise your luck as the planets make creative alignments. Make it a week to remember. Call 0906 751 5608.

SAGITTARIU­S Nov 23 - Dec 21

HARD work and success are natural if temperamen­tal bedfellows. Sometimes, while hard work is busy making connection­s with all the right people, success arrives unexpected­ly at another party. They’re not joined at the hip, and they can get their wires crossed. Yet, even when separated, they’re connected. It feels as if you’ve been seeing more of one half of this partnershi­p than the other recently. This weekend brings an opportunit­y to get them dancing together. To hear how your life could significan­tly change for the better, call your latest week-ahead forecast: 0906 751 5609.

CAPRICORN Dec 22 - Jan 20

WHAT’S really worth having? What won’t you ever regret acquiring or accomplish­ing? The contents of your bank account will continue to rise and fall irrespecti­ve of your lifestyle or the choices you make. Although you might think you’re happier when your purse is full, actually, your emotions are much more sensitive to the contents of another vessel. That’s your heart. This weekend, you have opportunit­ies to fill your heart with things that will make you glad. Faith, hope, laughter. If you do that, you’ll want for nothing. Want to hear some priceless informatio­n about your week? Just pick up the phone! Call 0906 751 5610.

AQUARIUS Jan 21 - Feb 19

WHEN Robert Palmer sang, ‘It’s crazy but I’m frightened by the sound of the telephone’, it was a brilliant examinatio­n of anxiety through music. Take care, this weekend, that it doesn’t become the soundtrack to your life. You might be looking for clues, but that doesn’t mean you’re going to be able to read every situation. And it would be easy to jump to the wrong conclusion­s. If you do your best to give everyone the benefit of the doubt, and think positively, you’ll have reasons to sing. Creative, inspiring times lie ahead for you. Make the most of this astrologic­al opportunit­y. Call 0906 751 5611.

PISCES Feb 20 - Mar 20

IT WASN’T so long ago that human beings looked at creatures of the air with great envy. We could only dream about being able to fly. The idea of having such a thing as a computer, or a phone in our pocket, would have blown our minds. Imagine how we’ll feel when we have access to a time machine? What time would you choose to return to? What era would someone else prefer to send us all back to? Imagine the confusion that would reign! This weekend, you need to be heading forwards. You’ve got plans. Stick to them. As Jupiter moves into a new celestial home, it revitalise­s your luck. Find out more. Call 0906 751 5612.
