OSCAR CAINER

Sound the horns. Roll out the red carpet. Jupiter returns home to Sagittarius in November. I’ve been looking forward to this all year. It brings the return of optimism and vision, especially in situations that have seemed like lost causes. Of course, every month is an astrological mixed bag. Uranus’s return to Aries, along with Mercury’s retrogradation, suggest that there’s unfinished business that will need attending to. But, with Venus and Neptune both changing direction, we really can allow hope and excitement to grow.

Aries Mar21-Apr20

Pencils come with erasers because none of us are perfect. As Uranus moves back into Aries in November, you may have to use the rubber end of your pencil on a part of life’s canvas that you thought you’d already completed. But, with Mars and Jupiter’s change of signs, you may just find that it’s giving you the creative freedom to explore a better alternative to what’s been in put in place. It’s often said that, when it comes to artistic endeavours, there’s no such thing as a mistake. In November, life imitates art in the best possible way. It’s almost November. Here’s a message that will lift your spirits. Call 1900 957 223.

Taurus Apr21- May21

Self-help gurus insist that our difficulties provide opportunities for growth. So, I hope you’ve got access to a tape measure. Surely, with all you’ve been through recently, you’re bound to have gained a couple of inches? Sometimes, though, we experience the wrong kind of growth – when our high hopes for the future don’t tally with the reality. In November, disruptive Uranus leaves your sign, giving you space to acclimatise. Meanwhile, your ruler begins to move forward again. Let the right kind of growth commence.

Gemini May22-Jun22

The lyrics, “I’m just a soul whose intentions are good … Oh Lord, please don’t let me be misunderstood” could be your theme tune in November. As Jupiter enters your opposite sign, issues between you and a “significant other” are bound to grow larger, just as your ability to communicate is challenged by Mercury’s turn backwards in the sky. But, any turbulence will be a temporary part of a greater journey. The full moon, linked dynamically with Mars, suggests that, as long as you do what feels right, you really can’t go wrong. It’s almost November. Here’s a message that will lift your spirits. Call 1900 957 223.

Cancer Jun23-Jul23

Your ruler, the moon, is the quickest light travelling across the zodiac. Astrologers don’t usually pay much attention to its planetary interactions, especially when looking at an extended period of time. But, sometimes, the moon’s activity is a little too conspicuous to ignore. I feel a bit like Lois Lane putting two and two together about Clark and Superman. In November, the moon is new just as Uranus changes signs and converges with Jupiter, which finally returns home. You can expect to feel particularly powerful this month.

Leo Jul24-Aug23

Book the gallery, unveil the canvasses, prepare your palette and wet your brushes. Expect an explosion of creativity and an irresistible urge to express the feelings you hold in your heart. But also, be prepared in November, like so many of the world’s great artists, to have ideas misunderstood, calls fall on deaf ears and your vision adulterated. Subversive virtuosos aren’t the only people to feel frustration. But, if instead of over analysing, you let your heart do the talking, you’ll begin to form a powerful and optimistic image of your future. It’s almost November. Here’s a message that will lift your spirits. Call 1900 957 223.

Virgo Aug24-Sep23

The past doesn’t control us. It influences our decisions, but it doesn’t ultimately make them on our behalf. In November, as Jupiter, the planet of expansion, opportunity and adventure moves into a part of the sky associated with your past, your ruler Mercury begins moving backwards there. Is this a cosmic mixed message? Why explore territory that you’re already familiar with? Yet, the mightiest trees have roots that extend far further than their foliage. If you look again at what’s hidden, you’ll find what you need to flourish and grow. For spinetingling November news, call your monthahead forecast: 1900 957 223.

Libra Sep24- Oct23

Venus, your ruler, the stylish embodiment of urbane sophistication, is newly back in your sign. Only, there’s something a bit different about her. She seems to be wearing mittens and mules … sunglasses and pyjamas. That’s because she’s retrograde, and life’s taking some unexpected turns. In November, not only does she turn direct, she spends the month in opposition with Uranus. Though I can’t promise things will be clear, I can assure you that you’re on a journey that leads to some great and delightful understandings. It’s almost November. Here’s a message that will lift your spirits. Call 1900 957 223.

Scorpio Oct24- Nov22

Jupiter’s trip through your sign has certainly made the year interesting. On a macro level, the morality of sexual politics has been brought into the limelight, and some longoverdue justice has been served. We’ve seen excess and shady dealings from people in power, too. On a personal level, it’s been an intense time for Scorpios. If it hasn’t yielded all you’ve desired, does Jupiter’s departure mean that you’ve missed your opportunities? No. It brings a different way of exploring how you can get what you really, really want. For spine-tingling November news, call your month-ahead forecast: 1900 957 223.

Sagittarius Nov23- Dec21

When I pick up my Sagittarian son from nursery, I never know what to expect. Sometimes I get my “after-nursery cuddle”. Other times, it’s a light punch in an early strike of our playful “bedtime wars” game. As the sun, our astrological father figure, moves into your sign in November, it brings warmth, bravery and creativity. But, it’s your ruler Jupiter, making its first visit home in twelve years, that’s really exciting. However you choose to greet your celestial guardian, as long as you’re smiling, the fun can really begin. It’s almost November. Here’s a message that will lift your spirits. Call 1900 957 223.

Capricorn Dec22-Jan20

“You may say that I’m a dreamer … but I’m not the only one,” sang John Lennon. It’s a line he might not have written if he’d been surrounded by Capricorns. Although your sign isn’t known for its sentimental optimism, or wishful thinking, people often underestimate you. The part of John Lennon’s chart representing his calling and aspirations was in Capricorn. And, if there’s anyone who can make the impossible happen by combining hope and an iron will, it’s you. In November, put some faith in what only you can only imagine. Dare to dream. For spine-tingling November news, call your month-ahead forecast: 1900 957 223.

Aquarius Jan21- Feb19

As retrograde Uranus changes signs again, something you thought you’d put behind you reappears. Is that a groan I hear? Actually, there’s no need for frustration. Yes, you’re going to having to re-work alterations which you thought had been taken care of, particularly in the light of some new information. But, this is more than a continuation of a tired narrative. It’s the final appearance of a familiar theme – just before the scene changes and the plot twists. As Mars finally leaves your sign, November brings the progress you’ve long desired. It’s almost November. Here’s a message that will lift your spirits. Call 1900 957 223.

Pisces Feb20- Mar20

It’s funny how advertising images stick. Even as the parent of a young child, I have never seen any kids playing with a drumming bunny. But, if I compare you to one of those battery-promoting creatures, you probably realise I’m suggesting that your batteries are being re-energised in November. As Mars enters your sign, linking dynamically with Jupiter, and Neptune turns direct, you’re more like a Tesla roadster than a childish toy. Just don’t let any newfound speed and energy distract from this opportunity to succeed. For spinetingling November news, call your monthahead forecast: 1900 957 223.
