Thought for the day 12 August 2011
Welcome to yet another Full Moon weekend. I hereby repeat what's fast becoming a regular warning. Alcohol, when the Moon is full, has a more intoxicating effect than at any other time of the month. You need less to get you tipsy. Nor is the effect of booze the only thing that a Full Moon exacerbates. Tempers fray more readily, passions rise more rapidly, fears intensify more easily and laughter comes more naturally. Basically, if you are having a strong reaction to anyone or anything, whether the response is positive or negative, it is likely to amplify or magnify.
In the ocean of existence, we are all surfers. Want to know which waves to seize and which to steer clear of?

Aquarius
Jan 21 - Feb 19
Sometimes, we suddenly find ourselves in the middle of a process or a course of action, unable to remember what it was we were trying to achieve in the first place. It happens to us all. But when we are young, we call it a memory lapse, whereas when we get older, it becomes a 'senior moment'. You are now looking at something you put a lot of energy into. Once you felt very sure of your direction and your purpose, yet nothing is now so clear. You may have to finish what you have started but you don't have to commit to any more. Now please, keep reading, if you haven't yet had a full personal chart reading, calculated from your date of birth, you have been missing out. Change your future. Click here!
Pisces
Feb 20 - Mar 20
The weekend starts here but it doesn't stop here. In fact, given half a chance, the weekend will go on for a long while to come - or rather, it will give rise to events that remain in your memory and continue to have consequences in your daily life. Does that sound ominous? It need not be, as long as you are wise enough to base your decisions on inspiration rather than fear and on imagination rather than conformity. It is time for you to be the best you can be. Make that your guiding principle, and you can't go wrong. And there's more... Your 'Personal Profile (New Edition)' is here! It's been extensively rewritten, revised, and illustrated. It's the ultimate birth-chart reading and you can order now. Get it here.
Aries
Mar 21 - Apr 20
You can't always tell what other people are thinking. You aren't invariably, infallibly psychic. Yet, every so often, you pick up on something. You get a sense of what others are thinking or feeling. Sometimes, it comes to you so strongly that you simply can't shake it off. You are now keenly conscious of a mood, an atmosphere or a way of behaving that others around you are enthusiastically embracing. Be sensitive, by all means, over the weekend - but don't feel obliged to join in with a game that you don't want to play. Now please, keep reading, if you haven't yet had a full personal chart reading, calculated from your date of birth, you have been missing out. Change your future. Click here!
Taurus
Apr 21 - May 21
Planet Earth is an incredible place. A most mind-blowingly beautiful world where nature never stops bursting forth with fresh growth. Look at the sky, it's a miracle. Look at the ocean. Whose amazing idea was that? Look at human beings, aren't they just breathtaking? Well, yes, okay. It is not, I concede, always quite so easy to see the glory and the wonder of our companions and even our loved ones. They can exasperate us, just as easily as they can inspire us. Still, though, this weekend, you'll have a delightful encounter. And there's more... Your 'Personal Profile (New Edition)' is here! It's been extensively rewritten, revised, and illustrated.

Gemini
May 22 - June 22
During yesterday's forecast, I think we both got a little distracted by a minor, relatively insignificant event. It got far too much attention and, looking back, perhaps you can see how we might say much the same thing about the nature of your day. How much energy did you spend responding to an impulse or indulging a concern that might have been much more wisely ignored? Oh well, that was then. This is now. Over the weekend, a similar choice will present itself. Are you going to let your agenda be stolen? Then hang on to it. Now please, keep reading, if you haven't yet had a full personal chart reading, calculated from your date of birth, you have been missing out. Change your future. Click here!
Cancer
Jun 23 - Jul 23
Open your eyes, what do you see? Now close them, and make a wish. Open them again. How big a difference is there between the reality and the vision? What exactly is it that you just wished for? Something you could easily get so that you would not risk disappointment? Something you thought you would never attain? Something you would be shocked by if it actually happened? Visions are funny things. Sometimes, we give far more to them than they give back to us. But reality, this weekend, has something wonderful to give you. And there's more...

Jul 24 - Aug 23
Some people say, 'Don't look back.' Others say, 'Don't look back in anger.' I prefer to say, don't look back unless you think it will help you look forward more clearly. There is, after all, something a little unhealthy about a determination to gaze in one direction only. Over the weekend, events and encounters will encourage you to revisit old experiences and to re-evaluate what they meant to you. Somewhere in that process, you will reach a valuable understanding about an ongoing and important matter.

Aug 24 - Sep 23
'You've got to have a dream, if you don't have a dream, how you gonna have a dream come true?' So goes the old song, Happy Talk, from the musical South Pacific. It all sounds so simple when you put it like that. And in a way, it's true. Your dream can't come true if you haven't got a dream, any more than you can win the lottery if you haven't got a ticket. It's just that that principle doesn't necessarily work in reverse. You've got to have slightly more than a dream. But it's a good place to start this weekend. And there's more...

Libra
Sep 24 - Oct 23
If you want the answer to a pressing question and you are concerned that you may not like the reply you get, it may be as well not to ask. There are, for example, some things that people do all the time, even though they are not supposed to do them. Blind eyes are happily and habitually turned. But if someone makes an official inquiry or asks permission from the person in a position of authority, they will have to be told, 'No, that's not okay.' If you want to push your luck this weekend, do it quietly. Now please, keep reading, if you haven't yet had a full personal chart reading, calculated from your date of birth, you have been missing out. Change your future. Click here!
Scorpio
Oct 24 - Nov 22
In polite conversation people don't tell each other how they are truly feeling or what they really think. They simply exchange pleasantries. They make bland remarks about the weather or the time of year. The objective is to achieve a discourse free of controversy and to give away as little as possible about either participant's true personality or state of being. Why do we do this? I forget. Indeed, I'm not sure that I ever did know. Still, though, it somehow seems that real honesty is taboo. But for you, this weekend, it's essential. And there's more...

Sagittarius
Nov 23 - Dec 21
Are you going to be lucky this weekend? Well, of course, you are. How lucky? Very. But here I think we had better pause for a moment and define the word 'luck'. You are lucky to be alive. You are blessed with a thousand rare gifts that you take entirely for granted. Your entire existence represents a stroke of the most magnificent fortune. Now what? You want all that plus a lottery win? How greedy! Look at what your luck has already given you and saved you from. There will be more of that soon. Let that be enough.

Capricorn
Dec 22 - Jan 20
Why do we bother with judges and juries? If we are looking for ways to save money in these difficult times, surely we can make an economy right there. We don't need lengthy trials and expensive legal teams. We can tell whether someone is innocent or guilty just by the way they look. And if the police have arrested them, why... that as good as proves it. Cops don't make mistakes. And if ever there's a real element of doubt, we can just rig up a lie-detector like they do on daytime TV. Don't hold a kangaroo court this weekend. And there's more...
