especially if you invite new friends into it. The present planetary Mutable Grand Cross of completing cycles, life changes and new directions can feel at times like going through a wash cycle – but it’s all necessary prep for the last half of the year’s high-speed takeoff. TAURUS: Your leading planet Venus nestling into the sign of home entertaining exerts a magnetic pull towards the comfort couch, but as inward-leaning retrogrades loosen their grip, neighbourhood events also beckon. In between, as the end of the financial year draws near, tie off loose ends, take stock, put paperwork in order. GEMINI: If this week deluges you with enthusiastic, wide-ranging ideas, brainstorm how to make the most creative use of this fertile mix. Later on, in a quiet mental space, select the best and forget the rest. Try not to overspend. And something needs completing before your new plans can take off – what is it?
CANCER: This week’s astrological indications suggest it’s a smart move to have a backup plan in case of contingencies. That said, the sun and midweek Venus taking up residence in your sign to sing happy birthday Cancer for the coming month ensure you’re the centre of warm, affectionate attention and personal popularity.

SAGITTARIUS: After the year’s second consecutive fiery full moon in Sagittarius, this week eases the letting go of a jaded scenario, tired project or worn-out situation so you can move forward freely. And also cautions you to avoid taking risks, while being aware that crossed signals and misunderstandings are on the cards.

LEO: This social, go-ahead week invites you out of hibernation to confer with friends on the best way to address the second half of your year. If covert power plays start escalating your blood pressure, assertiveness isn’t likely to work. Ditto a you-against-them mindset. Stay focused on raising your own game. VIRGO: As this week’s friendships strengthen and connections deepen with those closest, plans also firm up into more satisfying shape and it feels safe to start getting excited at last. With June finally unwinding from retrograde clenches into slow-building momentum, the contours of the second half of your year gradually become clearer. LIBRA: Following the solstice/full moon connection, this week brings decisions of whether to work with others for personal advantage or support broader, more community-minded ventures. Your planetary ruler Venus in Libra’s tenth house of worldly ambitions for the next three weeks suggests successful networking and some promising professional openings.

Phoenix from the ashes is your signature archetype, remember?

AQUARIUS: This week kicks off with plenty of spirited and sparring opinions, then proceeds through a slew of interesting business opportunities to the likelihood of your mischievous sign saying something wild to an inappropriate person. Enjoy all of the former, but think seriously about censoring the latter, while conditions are sensitive.
PISCES: The powerful alignment of the Mutable Grand Cross, a potent astrological pattern with one point in your sign (the other three in Gemini, Virgo and Sagittarius), brings the Life Of Pisces to a turning point this week, closing some doors, opening others, making a decision necessary.

LOVE YOU TO DEPP Edward Scissorhands is pure magic. The first collaboration between director Tim Burton and Johnny Depp is a true modernday fairytale, simultaneously haunting and romantic. Gothic suburbia has never been better portrayed than this! The genesis of this beautiful film draws heavily from Tim Burton’s teenage years, reflecting his feelings of isolation, loneliness, trouble communicating with others and retaining friendships, and finally self-discovery. Burton considers this film his most personal and favourite work. This is the Sunday Family Flick at the Brunswick Picture House. 4pm.
