OSCAR CAINER
Aries Mar21-Apr20
It’s a pleasure to watch someone who knows what they’re doing. An expert can take an impossibly difficult task and make it look like child’s play. Over years of practice, they’ve refined their skills and mastered their art. In certain respects, you’re an expert too. There are some circumstances that others find challenging that don’t daunt you at all. Someone is trying to steer you away from an arrangement because they’re projecting their own fears on it. Trust your judgment this week. Need support? What’s the best way to plan ahead?
Taurus Apr21- May21
Imagine what life would be like if our memories only worked in actual time. If, in order to remember something, we had to actually go back to it and experience it once again? There would be no fast-forwarding over the difficult parts, or skipping the bits we’d prefer to forget. Fortunately, we’re all able to slow our thought processes down (and speed them up). Yet the side effect is that we sometimes forget how long some positive processes take. As Mercury enters your sign, remember that, and relax. Your forecast contains valuable guidance.
Gemini May22-Jun22
In current circumstances, when we’re all being very careful, there are risks to assess. This week, as your ruler moves into a new celestial home, unless you’re willing to take an emotional risk, you won’t be ready to make a gain. Something in your life is about to turn around and offer you a chance to embrace a new possibility. Yet this comes at a price. You’ll need to find the courage to challenge the status quo in a skilful way. As long as your actions echo your feelings you’re on the right track. Ease your troubles. Find the support you need.
Cancer Jun23-Jul23
If you listen carefully you might be able to hear a celestial round of applause. You’ve been coping extremely well with a series of challenging situations and, at last, are receiving some recognition for your hard work and diligence. Interestingly, despite your achievements, you’re more aware of what you haven’t done. Yet who in your situation could have done more? This week, the planets encourage you to pat yourself on the back. Be confident… you’re more than able to cope with what’s on your plate.
Leo Jul24-Aug23
Adults find it easy to forget that they were children. We say things like “they’ve got to learn”, or “they just need to get used to it”… and that kind of remark is always linked to something negative; some kind of restriction that the child will find difficult. Of course, kids need to work out what’s possible and what’s not… but it’s vital they don’t feel so restricted that it seems as if nothing positive will happen. Although recent events have caused you to lower your sights, you can achieve something significant this week. Unsure about the direction you’re heading in.
Virgo Aug24-Sep23
Some of the greatest comedic moments are based around misunderstood characters who, armed with naïve innocence and optimism, are pitted against the harsh realities of the world. Yet, when we find ourselves embarking on this kind of role in our real lives, it’s not so much fun. This week, as your ruler Mercury settles into a new celestial home, you should find that you reach the end of what has felt like a neverending comedy of errors. It’s time to welcome in a saner, more reassuring future.
Libra Sep24- Oct23
My son happily hears the same story night after night; it makes him feel safe and secure. Just like him, the small child inside each of us enjoys repetition. That’s why we tend to replay dramas and relationships over and over again. Yet, although unconsciously we’re seeking comfort and reassurance, unless the roles we’re playing are positive, the practice doesn’t do us much good. This week, as Mercury links to your ruler, you can replace a worn-out routine with a new, more positive ambition. If you’re overwhelmed there’s a way forward.
Scorpio Oct24- Nov22
Why do good ideas sometimes become bad ideas? When they’re not thought through properly. When the desire for what might come about is so overwhelming that potential consequences are overlooked. Or, when so much attention is paid to the shortcomings of an idea that the benefits are completely negated. Mercury’s change of signs brings your attention back to an idea that you had set to one side. Since it’s a very good idea, it’s time to dust it off and have another look at it. Worried?
Sagittarius Nov23- Dec21
Imagine you’re starring in a silent movie. Which scene is most dangerous? Walking at the edge of a cliff on a blustery day, or tied to the railway line as the steam engine comes round the track? It’s probably better being at the edge of the cliff. At least you’ll be able to do your best to move out of harm’s way. You’re very aware of the difficulty you’re currently facing. The good news, is that you’re writing your own storyline and know what to look out for. This week brings a feeling of welcome security. Feeling stressed and overloaded? Find a better way to cope.
Capricorn Dec22-Jan20
We’re all very good at talking about the weather. Or a past sporting event. Or the latest news bulletin. We understand the protocol involved in this kind of conversation. But it’s not so easy when it comes to talking about emotive matters. Even in these times, when we’re dealing with impossibly challenging issues, we find it hard to express our most profound feelings. If you’re aware of a conversation that needs to be held, don’t worry about how to start it. Just jump in. The right outcome will follow.
Aquarius Jan21- Feb19
With Mars still in your sign, you’re under pressure. With a sense of restlessness affecting everything you undertake, you’re unable to escape the sense that you’ve got too much to do. This week, there’s a risk that, in your haste to get things done, you might jump to conclusions or take on more than you bargained for. Yet with your energy levels so high, you can accomplish more than you think. If you channel your energy in the right way, you’ll move towards achieving a longheld dream.
Pisces Feb20- Mar20
Something in your world seems much more substantial than it is. Like candy floss, it looks big, but when you take a mouthful, it will melt away to nothing but a sweet taste. That’s not to say that all your problems will be easily dissolved this week. Yet, one particular, timeconsuming issue looks much bigger than it actually is. It’s been whipped up with intensity. As you’re offered a chance to step back and see it with new perspective, you can bring it back down to a much more manageable size.
