WHETHER it’s waving goodbye to Wilson in Castaway, or the relationsh­ip between Woody and Andy in Toy Story, I rarely watch a Tom Hanks film without welling up. But we won’t need a Hanks movie to get us all emotional this weekend. The New Moon, in its own sign, is joined by Mercury. Strong feelings may cause us to reveal our deepest thoughts. The right words can plant seeds of encouragem­ent in important relationsh­ips.

ARIES Mar 21 - Apr 20

THE Greek philosophe­r Heraclitus said ‘history is a child building a sandcastle by the sea, and that child is the whole majesty of man’s power in the world.’ At least, we think he said it. Since his writings have been lost, we can only rely on the work of his successors who credited him with the original thought. Regardless of the details, there’s a beautiful sense of perspectiv­e in his idea. If you can manage to overlook the minutiae, and take a bird’seye view this weekend, you’ll be delighted by what you can construct. What will the powerful New Moon reveal? For news that will make your spine tingle: call 1550 511 611.

TAURUS Apr 21 - May 21

IS your

paperwork in order? Can you show proof of your right to say you belong where you are? Yet, what makes anyone think they ‘belong’ here on this spinning ball of rock? It’s not like we’ve always been here; and we know, with absolute certainty, that we won’t stay here forever either. So, while we’re here, surely we should be doing our best to respect our planet, and expect it to treat us respectful­ly, too? This weekend, the New Moon brings you closer to something (or someone) you thought you were separated from. Let the New Moon guide you to the future you secretly long for. Call your latest forecast: 1550 511 611.

GEMINI May 22 - June 22

WHAT makes

humans interestin­g? Our contradict­ory natures, of course! One moment we can be generous and selfless; the next, inconsider­ate and mean-spirited. Although some lean more one way than others, these contradict­ions reside within us all. As a species, we’re brilliant and idiotic, close-hearted and open-handed, amused and bored, often at the same time. That’s why we’re at our best when we can see both sides of a story. Keeping an open mind is key to your success this New Moon weekend. Don’t miss your personal Moon-sign forecast – taking you through to the next Full Moon. Call 1550 511 611.

CANCER June 23 - July 23

EVEN though I doubt you came here to read about the lottery, I’d like to remind you about the remoteness of your chance of winning the jackpot this weekend. Sorry? You were hoping for some good news about the amount of luck in your life? You already have lots! Just being here on planet Earth is an indication of that. Against all the odds, this ball of rock spins through space, and the life-forms on it get to enjoy the ride. With the New Moon in your sign, you’re about to realise just how much you have to be thankful for. Lift your spirits! Call your spookily accurate Moon-sign forecast. Dial in your date of birth. Call 1550 511 611.

LEO July 24 - Aug 23

‘HALT! Who goes

there, friend or foe?’ It’s a line we recognise from books and movies, but did anyone really say it? I mean, what did they expect an enemy intruder to reply... ‘Actually, I’m one of the baddies’! Yet, even at the best of times, it’s not easy to differenti­ate between friends and adversarie­s. And it’s easy to turn a potential ally into an enemy; you just need to treat them with suspicion. If you act as if people are on your side this New Moon weekend, you’ll end up with the support you’re looking for. Your latest Moon-sign forecast brings exciting news about potential positive change. For inspiratio­n, call 1550 511 611.

VIRGO Aug 24 - Sep 23

‘HERE’S another

nice mess you’ve gotten me into’. It’s a line that Oliver Hardy used to say to his mate Stan Laurel, whenever the two of them got into sticky situations (which happened all the time). It made us laugh because Stan was always the innocent party – their troubles were always caused by Ollie! Their humour captivated cinema audiences and made them a hugely successful double act. Yet, being blamed for something you’ve had nothing to do with is never funny. Don’t feel unnecessar­ily guilty this New Moon weekend. Not sure about which direction to take, and what to do for the best? The New Moon brings clarity. Call 1550 511 611.

LIBRA Sep 24 - Oct 23

IT’S hardly surprising you’re feeling so tired; you’ve got so many plates to spin. Things aren’t easy for you now. Even though you know life’s challengin­g for everyone, you’re feeling particular­ly fraught. You’ve been caught up in a situation that feels unfair, and it’s taking all your energy to cope. This weekend’s New Moon brings news that will put a spring in your step and make you feel as if the sails on your ship of life are at last catching what will be the start of a helpful breeze. You’re getting back into the flow. Make this a great week. Take advantage of the New Moon’s gifts. Your Moon-sign forecast is ready! Call 1550 511 611. SCORPIO Oct 24 - Nov 22 HOW are your

levitation skills? Have you used telekineti­c power to transport yourself with a click of the fingers? Or pulled any fluffy animals out of hats? Just because we don’t have proof of this kind of power, doesn’t mean such feats are impossible. Maybe you haven’t tried hard enough? Or, maybe you’ve tried too hard – and these things occur only when we’re feeling relaxed. Be as cynical as you want this weekend, but your supernatur­al skills are being enhanced by the New Moon. You have more power than you think. Like a ray of hope shining

through the darkness, be encouraged by the powerful New Moon. Call 1550 511 611.

SAGITTARIU­S Nov 23 - Dec 21

WE like to think of facts as being categorica­l, clear-cut, and black and white. They’re reliable and, in times of uncertaint­y, we can go back to them. Yet facts can be massaged and manipulate­d into supporting unhelpful arguments and proving certain points. So, if they’re unreliable, what are we supposed to go back to? This weekend, the New Moon brings insight and, if you trust your feelings, you’ll be able to discern the best way to move onwards. If life feels overwhelmi­ng, the New Moon shows the way forward. Your forecast offers insight. Call 1550 511 611.

CAPRICORN Dec 22 - Jan 20

BACK

in the not-so-distant past, people had to have a talent in order to be famous. Anyone known merely for their lifestyle choice was seen as notorious – their fame was devalued rather than augmented. How things have changed! Whether or not it’s deserved (or even desirable), you seem to have developed a reputation. If it’s one you like, you can maximise your success this New Moon weekend. If you don’t like it, you’ll have a chance to set a record straight and regain respect. The stars have a powerful message for you. For a prediction taking you to the next Full Moon call 1550 511 611.

AQUARIUS Jan 21 - Feb 19

IT might be safer to stop reading now because, if you don’t, you’ll find an exclamatio­n mark! Oops! I was concerned you’d read too much into it and think your weekend’s going to be full of brash statements and loud assertions. After all, you’re looking for some relaxation . . . a time free from the drama, noise and arguments that an exclamatio­n mark seems to symbolise. The New Moon brings an innovative idea that enables you to find a much better balance between drama and rest. Enjoy! This New Moon is powerful. You can transform your life. Your latest Moonsign forecast is ready. Call: 1550 511 611.

PISCES Feb 20 - Mar 20

THEY say that ‘diagnosis is half the cure’; when we know what’s wrong, and can put a name to it, that somehow, mysterious­ly, we start to feel better. Or at least we can, as long as it doesn’t turn out to imply a problem that’s impossible to sort out. The good news, this New Moon weekend, is that whatever you’re up against is fixable – although maybe not quite as easily, instantly, fixable as you’d like. If you’re hearing any suggestion­s to the contrary, you’re being told the wrong thing. A sense of optimism is key to victory. Big changes are due between now and the next Full Moon. For a spookily accurate prediction, call 1550 511 611.
