OSCAR CAINER

- WWW.CAINER.COM

Mercury speeds through Cancer this week and arrives in Leo. Meanwhile, Mars, the planet of speed, slows down to a stop before turning backwards in the sky. These two planets symbolise the tension playing out in all our lives. We may be keen for instant solutions and short-term gains, but, with the full moon in Capricorn, we’re unlikely to be satisfied by what these achieve. This week brings an opportunit­y to see the bigger picture, correct silly errors, and take decisive action. Any long-term plans can be reassuring­ly reinforced.

Aries Mar21-Apr20

As an Aries, even though you’re often scolded for impatience, you’re canny enough to know that it has its benefits. You don’t like dithering, and your willingnes­s to throw yourself into situations often puts you leagues ahead of the pack. You get things done and you get them done fast. But, you can struggle when a scenario needs time to breathe and develop. This week, as Mars turns retrograde, something can’t be rushed. If you’re able to reach out for help in restrainin­g yourself, you’ll create a partnershi­p of lasting value. You can work magic in your world this week. Find out how! Call 1900 957 223.

Taurus Apr21- May21

The other night, I wanted to make fettucine alfredo for dinner. When I looked up a recipe, there were a bewilderin­g number of variations that I needed to choose between before making an impromptu trip to the supermarke­t. All in all, the task of cooking dinner took longer and was much more involved than I’d imagined. Sometimes, things take longer to achieve than we’d like. Your progress isn’t slow… you’re just catching up with your slightly unrealisti­c expectatio­ns. Right now, you’re exactly where you need to be. If you need some inspiratio­n, this is your week! Call 1900 957 223.

Gemini May22-Jun22

Who’s the cleverest person in history? Albert Einstein? Or the late, great Stephen Hawking, whose ideas continue to shape our view of the universe? Whoever’s worthy of the title, it’s worth rememberin­g that no one knows everything. There are great gaps in our knowledge and mysteries that might never be solved. Since you see the bigger picture, you may have already worked out that you need to think again about a recent decision. You’re about to discover a missing fact. The brainpower involved will be well worth the effort. There is excitement n the stars for you this week. Call 1900 957 223.

Cancer Jun23-Jul23

The moon will be full opposite your sign and conjunct with Saturn this week, which is no doubt why you’re feeling overwhelme­d. You’re tired from carrying a heavy psychologi­cal load. You’re not sure that you can handle what’s being asked of you, or even what you’re asking of yourself. But, you can! Just keep on keeping on, and your perseveran­ce will ensure you make progress. What you’ve achieved so far is no small feat. The challenges you’ve already overcome will prepare you to take what lies ahead in your stride. You can alter what you want and make it work for you. Call 1900 957 223.

Leo Jul24-Aug23

Most of us don’t really know how to work our computers, smartphone­s, or tablets – we just do the simple things. We’ve worked out what we need to do to achieve what we want. But, if someone asked us why we do what we do, we’d be more than a little stumped. Now that you’ve found a pattern that works for you in your life, there’s no need to start prodding and questionin­g it. Ignore those people trying to undermine your confidence this week. With luck on your side, you’re about to achieve the result you’ve been looking for. There are insights and revelation­s in store for you. Call 1900 957 223.

Virgo Aug24-Sep23

Sometimes, it’s right to forge ahead with a plan; it’s the brave and right thing to do. Yet, right now, your motivation to push forward is an attempt to extricate yourself from a pickle. How sure are you that your idea will work? As Mars turns retrograde this week, it’s worth re-examining your plan. The pressure is cooling off, giving you time to consider your options and question your assumption­s. Take the time you need to get this right. The full moon linking with Saturn suggests a clever, longer-term solution can be found. This week can bring the success you deserve into your life. Call 1900 957 223.

Libra Sep24- Oct23

When you realise how unevenly resources are distribute­d, the world looks like a very unfair place. Although we like to think that we’re all born equal, it’s patently untrue. Life is like a lottery, except that everybody’s playing and the rules remain a mystery. Is it possible to level the field? Well, that’s a question that’s hard for anyone to resolve. But, you can find an answer to a different question. Whatever you think your life is lacking, you can find a simple way towards satisfying that need. You are, in many ways, very lucky. You can find inspiratio­n and make change happen! Call 1900 957 223.

Scorpio Oct24- Nov22

Rather than worrying about past mistakes, this week brings an opportunit­y to leave them where they belong. We’ve all done things we regret, but those actions are just a part of who we are. You’ve moved on. It’s thanks to all that you’ve experience­d that you are exactly who you need to be. This insight will bring crucial insight into your perception of who you are and who you can be. Then, as Mars turns retrograde this week, your dreams can be refashione­d into a stronger, more ambitious yet achievable form. Find inspiratio­n to make the changes you need in your life. Call 1900 957 223.

Sagittariu­s Nov23- Dec21

It’s impossible to be happy when you constantly apologise for yourself. If we spend time making amends for mistakes, we rarely get the opportunit­y to learn from them and move on. There’s a part of you that’s tempted, if not to wallow in regret, then to focus too much on what you owe and to whom you’re beholden. But, acknowledg­ing mistakes from the past doesn’t necessitat­e being trapped or controlled by them. This week, as Mars turns retrograde, remember that your greatest responsibi­lity is to your future happiness. There’s great news if you are looking for inspiratio­n. Call 1900 957 223.

Capricorn Dec22-Jan20

The full moon in your sign this week is conjunct with your ruler. That’s worth celebratin­g, so, as a special treat, I’ll let you drive my psychologi­cal time machine. We’re going to break every rule in the Time Travellers’ Handbook and go back to meet the old you. This will give you a chance to let yourself know all the things you have to look forward to. It might be risky, but seeing your face light up with hope, joy, and thankfulne­ss will make it worthwhile. This week, don’t forget how far you’ve come and how much you’ve achieved. If you are looking to make some positive changes, call 1900 957 223.

Aquarius Jan21- Feb19

It’s as if there’s a big red button in front of you with the words “Last Resort” printed on it. The thing is, once you’ve pressed it, there’s no going back. You’ll no longer have the comfort of having it as an option. You can’t “unpress” it or undo it. That’s why it also says, “Break glass in event of an emergency.” Before making a dramatic decision, ask yourself what alternativ­es are available. As Mars turns retrograde in your sign, you don’t need to rush any decisions. You’ll make more progress with sensitivit­y and intelligen­ce this week. Insights are available to you. Find out more. Call 1900 957 223.

Pisces Feb20- Mar20

Where in your world is the pressure piling up so high that you’re unable to apply your usual sensitivit­y? As Mars turns retrograde, it’s not that you no longer have passion and energy for the vision you’ve been working towards – it’s just that you seem to be spending more time fighting fires than fuelling the furnace of progress. But, the full moon promises generous protection in the form of the people who support you and who have your long-term interests at heart. Stay true to your word, and you’ll have all the help you need. The planets say that wonderful changes are possible. Call 1900 957 223.
