ACCORDING to the band Massive Attack, ‘Love, love is a verb, love is a doing word’. With Mars back in gear and revving its engine, and Mercury looking forward to navigating a new area of the map, the Sun’s tense link with Venus today puts paid to the idea that we’re simply on a joyride. The energy and clarity wrought by this purposeful sky affirms the importance of choice in what we do and how we do it. The value and purpose of our individual decisions is being highlighted. Positive action can be taken this weekend. ARIES Mar 21 — Apr 20

WHAT’S not to love about adventure films? We all enjoy watching our heroes work their way through death-defyingly difficult challenges. Sometimes, there’s hardly a moment of respite between dramatic scenes. It’s enough to tire you out just watching, let alone living life at such a pace. So, have you factored some ‘down time’ into your world this weekend? Now that Mars is moving forward again, whatever is about to happen will be much more easily dealt with if you’re relaxed. September brings the Equinox! For your lightshedding, hope-giving, worry-quashing month-ahead forecast, call 0906 751 5601.

TAURUS Apr 21 — May 21

WOULDN’T life be idyllic if it were full of joyous experiences? The reality, though, is that being challenged brings the most value. Stressful situations hold the potential for great learning. Struggling makes us strong and brings insights that we’d never otherwise have. As the Sun and Venus link today, you’re gaining valuable understanding. You’re grappling with a process that’s bringing inevitable change into your world. Take heart and be courageous. What’s happening is for the best. September brings the Equinox!

GEMINI May 22 — June 22

IT’S as if you’ve set off on a trek up a mountainside. The loaded rucksack you’re carrying is slowing you down and making a difficult journey more problematic. Yet, rather than stop, check your load and discard some unnecessary items, you’re determined to carry on. You’ve been carrying heavy emotional baggage for a while. Yes, it’s true, you’re strong enough to continue. Yet, imagine the progress you’d make if you were unencumbered? You can let go of a burden now. September brings the Equinox!

CANCER June 23 — July 23

IF OUR lives are mapped out before us and we’re predestined to do what we do, surely that means we’re no better than automatons. If we’re robotically leading our lives, there’s no point in wasting time worrying about what’s going to happen. We might just as well put our feet up and do nothing at all. Hmmm, that doesn’t feel right, though! We know that we can make a difference and that the future isn’t carved out before us. The choices you make this weekend can have a big impact on your destiny. September brings the Equinox! For your light-shedding, hopegiving, worry-quashing month-ahead forecast, call 0906 751 5604.

LEO July 24 — Aug 23

ALTHOUGH there’s no sure-fire guarantee your ruler, the Sun, will come up over the horizon tomorrow, there’s a good chance that it will. Experience suggests that tomorrow will arrive in a similar way to today . . . which is a good thing because it would be a very different kind of day if it didn’t. In the same way, there’s nothing wrong with taking something for granted in your world. You’re feeling nervous about a matter that is about as certain as the sunrise. You can stop worrying. September brings the Equinox! For your lightshedding, hope-giving, worry-quashing month-ahead forecast, call 0906 751 5605.

VIRGO Aug 24 — Sep 23

WITH the Sun in your sign linking to Venus today, you have a chance to catch a wave of serendipity. The challenge, is that the ocean of beneficial coincidences is a little rougher and edgier than usual. It’s throwing up some larger waves that might churn you around and take you further into the depths than you’d like. Yet, this movement is an opportunity to head towards an island of composure and calm. You have everything you need to ride out any challenges. Just set your inner compass to positive. September brings the Equinox! For your light-shedding, hopegiving, worry-quashing month-ahead forecast, call 0906 751 5606.

LIBRA Sep 24 — Oct 23

WHEN we’re at a loss for words, we tend to say whatever jumps into our minds. We like to fill silence ... it makes us uncomfortable when a pause is too long. Yet, today brings a chance to listen. If you don’t know how to respond to someone, try not saying anything at all. The true message is hiding behind their words. Rather than listening to your fears, which are projecting your anxieties into the conversation, listen with your heart. Then you’ll uncover a line of communication which can benefit you both. September brings the Equinox! For your lightshedding, hope-giving, worry-quashing month-ahead forecast, call 0906 751 5607.

SCORPIO Oct 24 — Nov 22

WHY do we spend so much time worrying about saving our pennies, yet devote little energy to saving our time? The fact that we put ourselves through so many needless experiences suggests that we don’t value ourselves very highly. When we indulge in some pampering, we often bombard ourselves with guilt. Yet, we’re all entitled to some luxury and fun. This weekend brings a chance for you to have something you’ve long merited. Before you can appreciate it, you have to believe you deserve it. September brings the Equinox! For your lightshedding, hope-giving, worry-quashing month-ahead forecast, call 0906 751 5608.

SAGITTARIUS Nov 23 — Dec 21

WHEN did you last embark on a spirited debate? Your natural enthusiasm and vigour suggest you’d be good to have on side when arguing an important point. The art of good debate involves careful listening and persuasive communication. This weekend, if you find yourself rising to a challenge, allow your intuition the space to respond. You can easily win someone round to your idea. But if you want their approval, communicate to their heart, rather than their intellect. September brings the Equinox! For your light-shedding, hope-giving, worry-quashing month-ahead forecast, call 0906 751 5609.

CAPRICORN Dec 22 — Jan 20

WITH Mars on full throttle in your sign, you have the energy to get what you really want. Yet, you also have the energy not to get it. Though it might sound odd, that’s your choice this weekend. You can either go for broke and forge fullsteam ahead, or pull back, out of the starting block, with dignity. You just need to be certain that you’re doing what you want to do. Don’t make a fear-based choice. Or succumb to outside pressures. Be confident you will do your best, no matter what you do. September brings the Equinox! For your light-shedding, hope-giving, worry-quashing month-ahead forecast, call 0906 751 5610.

AQUARIUS Jan 21 — Feb 19

WITH unannounced visitors about to arrive, how will you hide the messiness of your front room? If you draw the curtains and close the door, maybe you can take them into the kitchen and hopefully no one will see the clutter. On the other hand, if you’ve invested in something beautiful, you’ll want to display it in the light to be admired. Cosmic indications point towards an amplification of something you’ve been keeping to yourself. Focus on what is good in your world, and it will shine. September brings the Equinox! For your light-shedding, hope-giving, worry-quashing month-ahead forecast, call 0906 751 5611.

PISCES Feb 20 — Mar 20

SOMETIMES we can look at a familiar view and see something that we’ve never noticed before. It’s like when you turn the light off and see a room differently. Shapes and outlines become more important than details and textures. If you’re seeking optimal contrasts, it’s worth trying to see in the dark. Yet, interesting though the picture might be, it’s not the reality. Sometimes we need to put information into context. This weekend, you need more details to fully comprehend the bigger picture.
