ARIES: Efficient Mercury in Virgo announces, over this week’s loudspeaker, that it’s high time to tidy up, streamline, declutter, simplify, organise and eliminate unnecessary complications. You can make brilliant headway, and get a lot accomplished by staying focused, but don’t forget to balance all this hard work with rest and rewards. TAURUS: If you can screen out this week’s distractions, planetary configurations are recommending some mindful recalibration. There’s plenty of interesting ideas on the table, but picking a winner in this year’s economic lottery requires an open mind, letting go of attachment to what’s worked in the past, and a willingness to try something new.
Too many quarantinis at the isobar during coronacation fattened the curve? Spring’s nearly here, and Sun/Mercury in health-conscious Virgo wants you shaping up…
CANCER: Handle what you can this week, save what you can’t for another day. Since Zooming seems set to be with us for the foreseeable future, take the plunge and update technology, upgrade your cyber skills (there’s plenty of online tutorials), adopt geek chic. With Venus in your sign, others will be glad to assist. LEO: As humanity’s previously stabilising Saturnian structures meet Plutonic catharsis, global, governmental and personal paradigms are challenged as old ones shift and new ones are yet to arrive. Mars in Aries makes you your own hotspot, but rather than arc up at unwelcome conditions, sit down and figure out how they might work for you.
VIRGO: With this week’s Sun and Mercury in Virgo surprising – and possibly not corner, others are likely delightful – news, be quick to to be interested in what investigate, slow to accuse. you’re offering, ideas or Resist taking shortcuts; products. So whether IRL or because celestial energetics online, make your message are suggesting that in this time memorable, your presentation of seismic economic shifts you engaging, your arrangements must think things through very sustainable. Be honest with carefully. A helpful mantra right questions: if you don’t have now? All the way to heaven is up to date information, say so. heaven… Who does, these days? GEMINI: If this week brings

LIBRA: With widespread retrogrades sparking some big existential questions, yes, there’s plenty of nay saying and negativity going around. If negotiations go sideways this week, don’t let it shake your equilibrium. And if it does, then step away from provocative conversations. Resist triggers. Give yourself, and whoever else is involved, some wiggle room.
CAPRICORN: With this week stoking your creative streak, keeping an open mind (your brain’s not going to fall out) is the best way of attracting collaborators to your cause – including people you mightn’t normally consider, so resist snap judgments. For the next few months it’s worth doing everything you can to up your game.
SCORPIO: Time to bring a little practical magic back to lacklustre routines and regimes. To reignite the spark, this week’s Sun and Mercury recommend reaching out to Team Scorpio, rallying the troops for brainstorming, mind mapping and ideas sharing – keeping in mind that people are generally motivated to give their best by praise rather than blame.
AQUARIUS: This meticulous week won’t tolerate short cuts, carelessness or anything slapdash. Near enough won’t be good enough. Not walking your talk? It’s likely to catch you out. What it does reward is generosity and kindness, fairness and honesty, sensitivity, hard work and common sense – so may the Mercurian force be with you.
SAGITTARIUS: As Pluto peels away layers of deep seated economic anxieties at Sagittarius Central, Mars urges go go go, while Saturn says no, take it slow. With impetuous Mars and sensible Saturn at odds, your thoughts and emotions could veer between extremes, in which case step back, out of your own way, and phone a friend.
PISCES: Slackness, vagueness, lateness and thoughtlessness aren’t likely to go down well this week, which supports precision, effort, punctuality and care. If you can take a long, honest, eyes-wideopen look at the part you’re playing in current situations, the resulting realisation could be gold; as in, everyone’s responsible and no one’s to blame.

MADE IN ITALY Made In Italy is a father and son story, set in glorious Tuscany, about bohemian London artist Robert (Liam Neeson), who returns to Italy with his estranged son Jack (Micheál Richardson – who is Neeson’s son in real life) to make a quick sale of the house they inherited from his late wife. The film has opened to mix reviews. Some are describing the film as awkward and clichéd in parts, with others saying it is very ‘real’, beautiful, in a slow, simple, plain way.
