The Byron Community

Market encourages locals and tourists to mark their calendars and take advantage of these revised trading hours, starting with the next market on Sunday 7th April.

ASTROLOGY with Joanne Madeline Moore

ARIES (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

This week Venus hooks up with Neptune, and Mercury starts reversing through your sign. So you’re extra susceptible to confusing misunderstandings, dubious suggestions and false flattery. Be discerning about who’s advice you take and make sure your plans are grounded in reality. Don’t let fair-weather friends lead you up the primrose path to trouble! If you’re a smart Ram, you will plan your week carefully and choose your close confidantes wisely.

TAURUS (Apr 20 – May 20)

Prosperity planet Jupiter is jumping through your sign until May 25. But are you making the most of this positive once-in-every-12-years placement?

It’s your time to shine Taurus – to show the world what you are truly capable of. So your motto for the moment is from birthday great, writer and activist Maya Angelou: “My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive. And to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humour, and some style.”

GEMINI (May 21 – June 20)

The Sun, Mercury and Venus stimulate your peer group zone, so it’s important to support and encourage your friends. But with Mercury (your ruling planet) turning retrograde until April 25, make sure you communicate clearly and sort out any misunderstandings early. Fast thinking and creative strategies will help you solve problems and alleviate stress. Your motto is from birthday great, singer Billie Holiday: “If I don’t have friends, then I ain’t got nothing.”

CANCER (June 21 – July 22)

Many busy Crabs will burn the midnight oil, as creativity bites and inspiration strikes. International connections could be particularly beneficial and your involvement with a group, club or organisation has others looking to you for innovative ideas. But – with Mercury reversing through your career zone – resist the temptation to sidestep, confuse or snooze at work! Use your networking skills to drum up support, and don’t be afraid to ask experts for help.

LEO (July 23 – Aug 22)

With your ruler the Sun, Mercury and Venus all transiting through fellow fire sign Aries, you’re feeling feisty and ready for adventure. But with Mercury turning retrograde (until April 25) you could also feel like a Cat on a Hot Tin Roof! Remember that hubris often comes before a fall, so the buzz word for this week is humility. Clever Lions will be kinder towards other people, and more tolerant of their individual idiosyncrasies and particular circumstances.

VIRGO (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Mercury (your patron planet) turns retrograde which can mean frustrations, delays and power plays, especially at work or while travelling. Perhaps a project is stalled, a person is plotting, or a domestic appliance (or your car) breaks down. Avoid stressing and vexing Virgo! Aim to be proactive rather than reactive. As writer (and birthday great) Maya Angelou reminds us: “If you don’t like something, change it. If you can’t change it, change your attitude.”

LIBRA (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

With the Sun, Venus and Mercury (which turns retro on Monday night) visiting your relationship zone, it’s important to nurture and cherish your nearest and dearest. You could also lend a hand to a friend or relative who is sick, experiencing financial trouble or recovering from a broken heart. The best day of the week is Wednesday, when the Venus/Neptune link highlights romance, compassion and creativity. So surround yourself with love, beauty and good vibes!

SCORPIO (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

On Monday night Mercury starts reversing through your wellbeing and work zone, so it’s a suitable week to revise your daily diet and fitness routine, as you choose healthier food options and a form of exercise that you enjoy. Plus – when it comes to your job – it’s time to catch up on the backlog of unfinished projects and overflowing paperwork. With proactive Mars in your friendship zone, you’re keen to have a catch-up lunch or movie night with your besties.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

This week the Sun, Mercury and Venus are all transiting through fellow fire sign Aries, which will boost your energy and enthusiasm – but also your blunt and tactless side. And Mercury turns retrograde on Monday night (until April 25). So close relationships will be complicated, and communication will be increasingly tricky –especially with your partner, potential partner, children and/or friends. Smart Sagittarians will slow down, shut up, listen and learn!

CAPRICORN (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Mercury turns retrograde on Monday night (London time) which can mean delays, cancellations and plenty of frustrations – especially at home. Perhaps a DIY project is stalled, a family member is slowing progress, or an essential domestic appliance breaks down. Calm down Capricorn – aim to be proactive rather than reactive. Be particularly careful what you say to a stressed family member. If in doubt then be extra discreet, zip your lips and say nothing!

AQUARIUS (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

This week Mercury turns retrograde until April 25, so it’s time to do anything with an ‘re’ in front of it – revise, rehearse, review, remember, return, recover and/or reconnect. Especially in areas involving travel, education, communication and local community projects. Your mantra for the week is from birthday great, environmentalist Jane Goodall: “Every individual matters. Every individual has a role to play. Every individual makes a difference.”

PISCES (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Creativity is especially high on Wednesday/ Thursday. And with Mars transiting through your sign, it’s time to assert your independence. But expect some frustrations and restrictions along the way, as Mercury turns retrograde until April 25. Clever Fish will be patient, persuasive and persistent – especially involving finances and business matters. Your motto is from this week’s birthday great, movie icon Bette Davis: “The key to life is accepting challenges.”

Best On The Box

Saturday Murder In Provence

ABC, 7.30pm

SUNDAY VERA

ABC, 8.30pm

The beauty of this long-running detective series –returning for its 13th season tonight – lies not just in the high-end, gorgeous Northumberland scenery cultivated with medieval churches and windswept cli s overlooking the moody coastline. It’s the titular detective (Brenda Blethyn, pictured), grumbling and bluntly speaking her mind, who is categorically enchanting. These three new episodes feature an admirably unguessable whodunnit involving a hit and run in a serene country lane. The return of Joe Ashworth (David Leon), who worked with Vera over a decade ago, unsettles the power dynamic and irks our otherwise un appable, lovably unkempt lawwoman.

Tuesday Creative Types With Virginia Trioli

ABC, 9pm

Feed into the artistic spirit with this inspired new series fronted by the warm and inquisitive Virginia Trioli.

Like a mimosa among a shout of whiskeys, this amiable crime comedy is light and airy with a nose for fun. It’s the antithesis to crime shows that concentrate on the dark and disturbing side of murder – if you’re fond of distractions such as Father Brown and Death in Paradise, this beautifully polished crime caper will tickle your fancy. The sublime French terrain and buildings set the tone, with sun and whimsy the overarching focus as chief magistrate Antoine Verlaque (Endeavour’s Roger Allam) and his glamorous criminal psychologist lover Marine Bonnet (none other than Father Brown’s Nancy Carroll, pictured with Allam) play detective in the small town of Aix-en-Provence. 0504
