THEY say that fantasy rarely lives up to reality. Maybe that’s because when situations are imaginary, we’re in complete control. But just because things don’t work out as we’d like, doesn’t mean that we should stop trying. As the Sun’s link with Pluto forms a Minor Grand Trine with the convergenc­e of Neptune and Mars, we need to compare like with like. By all reasonable standards, exciting things can happen today.

ARIES Mar 21 - Apr 20 IF LIFE is simple, why do we need schools and colleges? If nature knows best, why bother with science and medicine? It’s easy to allocate blame. Targets are easy to find. We make sweeping statements based on wild oversimpli­fications, because we feel better when we think we know what’s going on and why. Yet the truth is that we don’t know much at all! When the Mercury/ Venus link puts you into an ambiguous situation today, don’t try to get out of it by jumping to an easy assumption. Be brave and ask challengin­g questions. For advice to guide you through this twists and turns ahead, call your forecast: 0906 751 5601.

TAURUS Apr 21 - May 21 WE know the words to the most successful charity singles. They’ve gone down in the annals of music history. When a pop star lends their name to a worthy cause, it’s a great way to garner support and raise funds. But there can sometimes be a whiff of self-promotion about these endeavours. If not embarked on in the right way, they risk turning the cause into their own advertisin­g vehicle. And that doesn’t look good or feel right. As your ruler links uncomforta­bly with Mercury, ensure any generous gestures are heartfelt. Transform your life! To move forward in a positive direction, there’s good news when you call 0906 751 5602.

GEMINI May 22 - June 22 YOU sometimes find yourself having an internal argument with an inner persona. You ask yourself a question, and give yourself the answer. Then you respond to what you think you’ve heard. Yet no actual conversati­on has taken place! This might sound slightly ridiculous, but it’s something we all do. It helps us prepare ourselves for real conversati­ons. Today brings an opportunit­y to have an honest, real-life dialogue about something you really care about. Just make sure you don’t second-guess what’s being said. What’s the best way to move forward and ensure success? Call your forecast: 0906 751 5603.

CANCER June 23 - July 23 ONE of the effects of feeling anxious is we can end up identifyin­g potential problems in simple situations. Opportunit­ies start to look threatenin­g. An invitation turns into an obligation. Since a recent event has made you feel defensive, it’s important to take a moment to remember you’re a sensitive, yet courageous individual who’s entitled to expect a good outcome to every mission you embark upon. There may be obstacles in your way, but you can rise above them. Don’t worry. You’re definitely on the right track. There’s no need to worry. All you need is some guidance. Your forecast can help. Call 0906 751 5604.

LEO July 24 - Aug 23 WHY does it sometimes feel like Groundhog Day? That no matter what changes, or how many positive steps forward we take, there’s no progress? We seem to be repeating the same gestures and just hitting our heads against a brick wall. We might not even notice this pattern for a while. But repetitive disappoint­ment makes us notice there’s a problem. If what you’re doing isn’t working, rip up the rulebook. It might not be obvious, but there’s an innovative way to proceed. Look hard and you can find it. What does your heart desire and how can you achieve what you really want? Call your forecast: 0906 751 5605.

VIRGO Aug 24 - Sep 23 WOULD you object to being ‘bigged up’ today? Could you sit down and enjoy hearing your praises being sung as your qualities and attributes are acknowledg­ed? Don’t worry, I’m sure anything ‘less-thanperfec­t’ would be overlooked. What’s that? You don’t think you deserve to be seen in a positive light? I’m not trying to flatter you, or encourage you to indulge in a moment of self-glorificat­ion. But as your ruler Mercury makes a challengin­g link to Venus, if you experience a misunderst­anding, you need to stand up for yourself. Curious to know more? There’s valuable news in your latest forecast. Call 0906 751 5606.

LIBRA Sep 24 - Oct 23 DO YOU need a hug? Don’t panic! Not from me, of course! Oops! If it were possible, I’d certainly hug you! Under the influence of Mercury’s tricky link to your ruler, Venus, there’s a possibilit­y of misleading signals today. And you could do with a physical display of affection. Fortunatel­y, as long as you’re aware that signals could easily be misread, there’s a very good chance that you’ll get the support you need. If you’re as clear as you can be, a generous gesture, from a surprising source, is possible. Success is about attitude and timing. Your forecast shows the way to positive change. Call 0906 751 5607.

SCORPIO Oct 24 - Nov 22 MANY self-help philosophi­es work with the idea that if you can imagine yourself in a situation, it will manifest in your life. Picture yourself owning a house with a swimming pool, and before long you’ll be living in one. In true life, of course, it’s not quite so simple. Yet there’s still an element of truth to this approach. If you focus on how poor you feel, you become more aware of your limitation­s — and less able to see the opportunit­ies. Since generous people always have something to give, be generous (even if you don’t feel it) today. You’ve got lots to look forward to. The inspiratio­n you need is in your forecast. Call 0906 751 5608.

SAGITTARIU­S Nov 23 - Dec 21 HOW is it possible to be right and wrong at the same time? Think about the dreadful conflicts we see on our screens. War is wrong. Yet people go into conflict believing they’re fighting for a just cause. And inaction is inconceiva­ble. They believe they’re risking their lives for a right and fair reason. It’s a huge dilemma, which regrettabl­y we still wrestle with. And sometimes, even though we’re plagued with doubt, we have to commit ourselves to a course of action. You might have to do that today. Don’t worry! Knowledge is power. Find out how to take full advantage of your astrologic­al assets. Call 0906 751 5609.

CAPRICORN Dec 22 - Jan 20 DO YOU ever do something then wonder why you did it? It happens to us all. We try to explain it away; tell ourselves we meant to do it. That it was what we planned. We don’t want to admit we made a mistake, because that would, we think, make us look weak. Yet, since we all experience such errors of judgment, you’d think we’d be able deal with embarrassm­ent and be honest about what really happened and how we really feel. You can take steps to make good on a past error of judgment today. What’s in the sky for you? Helpful planetary alignments! For good news, call your in-depth forecast: 0906 751 5610.

AQUARIUS Jan 21 - Feb 19 ONE of comedian Harry Enfield’s character’s catchphras­es was ‘You don’t want to do that’. He played on traditiona­l stereotype­s — the kind of people who can’t resist finding faults with everyone else’s decisions; while pretending to give helpful advice, he’d make them look ridiculous. The joke always finished with the victim reacting to his patronisin­g methodolog­y. Under the effect of the tricky Mercury/Venus link, make sure you don’t fall for a similar set-up today. Keep your wits about you. Make the most of your opportunit­ies. Your latest, in-depth forecast has inspiring news. Call 0906 751 5611.

PISCES Feb 20 - Mar 20 ‘WE come into this world alone, and we leave it alone.’ This saying has been repeated by great thinkers and philosophe­rs over the years. But why? I mean, it’s not completely true is it? For starters, we require at least one other person to make it into this world! And our paths are intertwine­d with others from our first day to our last. You’re in a position to influence the path a key relationsh­ip takes. Even in this tricky cosmic climate, your will, and ability to shape and share your future, is greater than you think. Transform your life! To move forwards in a positive direction, there’s good news when you call 0906 751 5612.
