YOUR STARS

I was watching a documentary featuring a proud stag, majestically displayed against the backdrop of a silver moon. But, it turned out that it was a programme about hunting. The commentary described how the hunter found it so beautiful that he wanted to have the stag as a trophy. Venus’s recent return to the sign of Libra was juxtaposed with Mercury’s opposition to Uranus. One promoted harmony and balance; the other a stark change of mind. Try not to flip between extremes today.

ARIES MAR 21 - APR 20

If someone says something negative, it’s natural to respond. The problem is that we can get stuck in a spiral of everincreasing negativity. And none of us want that to be the driving force in our lives. It’s far more productive to focus on the positives. Try, this week, to look for praiseworthy moments. They exist, even in barren situations. You might be amazed by what you find. And once you know what to look for, you’ll be surprised by how many lights there are in what appear to be dark places.

LEO JUL 24 - AUG 23

Every year, surfers flock to Bali, Hawaii, and even Newquay in search of the biggest and best waves. By timing it perfectly, these intrepid individuals can swim through treacherous seas, until, finally, standing tall atop towering waves, they glide serenely and confidently into land. That same wave would flatten an innocent spectator or a surfer who’s fluffed their timing. A series of breakers are lining up on your horizon. Use your intuition, and a tricky situation can work to your advantage.

SAGITTARIUS NOV 23 - DEC 21

Do I have to remind you of the adage, ‘slow and steady wins the race’? Not to imply that you’re impatient, or acting hastily, but everyone is prone to disquiet if progress is slow. Sometimes, you can even doubt that it’s being made at all. But evolution happens in increments; even things that seem to flourish overnight. The bread that rises does so at its own pace, and you must leave it be until it’s ready. Adopt the same approach for the changes you’re trying to implement today.

TAURUS APR 21 - MAY 21

They say that everyone has a talent - and if that’s truly the case, the future of prime-time TV is guaranteed for years to come. But the trouble with talent contests, is that they require more than just a contestant with a modicum of skill. Performers need ability and hunger (not to mention talent). As Venus and Mercury both get comfortable in their new celestial settings, you’re finding a new-found confidence. It’s an ideal time to show someone how special you are. Chances are, they’ll appreciate it.

VIRGO AUG 24 - SEP 23

If you’ve ever read a book on astrology you’d be forgiven for thinking that the phrase ‘at your service’ was invented for Virgos. Those same books also note the strength of your sense of responsibility. So, I don’t suppose you’ll mind if I point out that you’re responsible for every facet of your work ethic? You’re quite right, that’s unfair. Especially as, following Mars’ link to Saturn last week, and Venus departure from your sign, you’re being much tougher on yourself than you need to be. Venus, planet of love, has changed signs. It’s an exciting week. Call: 1900 959 005.

CAPRICORN DEC 22 - JAN 20

Anger is like bad weather. It’s unwise to go out in it. Unlike heavy fog, rain or snow, though, there are always weather warnings for a bad mood. Still, the advice is the same: stay indoors and wait out the storm. Since you’re feeling calm, you’re probably wondering why I’m telling you this. Except that you can sense the potential stress building. You have an unforeseen obstacle to negotiate. However it was created, if you can keep perspective (and calm), you’ll be able to move ahead.

GEMINI MAY 22 - JUN 22

Ever seen a ‘queue prank’ on TV? The premise is simple: stand around as if you’re waiting for something, and others will start queueing behind you - without knowing what they’re waiting for. When the hidden camera reveals itself, the passers by realise they’ve been queueing for no reason! We’ve all followed someone else’s lead, thinking that they know what they’re doing. Often they don’t! Watch out today, for people who want you to follow them, without telling you where you’re going. Powerful changes are possible now Venus brings inspiration. Call 1900 959 005.

LIBRA SEP 24 - OCT 23

As a Libran, you’re usually more poised and considered than the proverbial bull in a china shop. But, now that your ruler Venus is in your sign, that image comes to mind. Except that this shop has recently rebranded to become a supplier of rare and ancient brass lamps. So, can you expect to find an army of genies waiting to grant your every wish? Not quite. But you’re about to see that the world is a more beautiful, kind, place than you realise. Your task, is to work out what you want from it. Powerful changes are possible now Venus brings inspiration. Call 1900 959 005.

AQUARIUS JAN 21 - FEB 19

A doctor friend is fond of advising that ‘diagnosis is half the cure’. The theory is that, once you’ve ascertained what the problem is, you can go about fixing it. But what happens if you get it wrong? What if you administer one set of cures instead of another? Perhaps nothing will happen. But what if the condition worsens? It’s important to be accurate in your assessment of a situation today. The cosmos is gifting you a surprising amount of power - use it with discretion. Powerful changes are possible now Venus brings inspiration. Call 1900 959 005.

CANCER JUN 23 - JUL 23

According to psychologists, our subconscious wields a powerful influence over our conscious mind. Like a computer programme, running in the background, our unconscious carries out mental processes that influence our thoughts and decisions. So, when we’re trying to make an informed choice, we aren’t limited to what’s in front of our noses. Your situation might feel like a mystery with no clues, but it’s still one you can solve. If you trust your instincts, you’ll see that you’ve already figured this one out.

OCT 24 - NOV 22

In a guessing game, if you rush to a conclusion, the penalty is often, ‘You’re out!’ If the rules are kinder, you might lose a turn. In real life, jumping to a false conclusion can land you in much hotter waters. Decisions based on that conclusion could have negative implications for you and those around you. That’s why it’s best to gather as much evidence as possible. Today, it’s worth looking at a fact you believe to be true. It involves someone close to you. Be certain, before you make a decision. Venus, planet of love, has changed signs. It’s an exciting week. Call: 1900 959 005.

PISCES FEB 20 - MAR 20

Imagine if we didn’t have emotions. We wouldn’t have to worry about feelings getting in the way. We wouldn’t consider the effects of anything we were doing, on ourselves or on others. Phew! Life would be much more straightforward. But how would that sense of numbness feel? Although Venus has moved out of your opposite sign, you’re imbued with compassion. Be glad of that. Your emotions are powerful tools. They’ll help give meaning to your search for happiness. Venus, planet of love, has changed signs. It’s an exciting week.
