Zodiac forecasts
with Oscar Cainer When the Sun returns for its annual progression through a sign, it isn’t the only visitor. Mercury, its neighbouring planet, is never far behind, and exerts its influence too. And so it is today, as Mercury continues to play catch-up to the Sun, and enters Scorpio. Soon the two planets will become conjunct, heralding a ‘eureka’ moment. Many of us can expect to see light being shone in previously inaccessible and unexamined corners of our lives.
aries leo libra Mar 20 – Apr 19
It’s not always wise to take comfort in confidence. Fine when we’re feeling sure, but when doubts arise, we think, ‘If I lose my confidence, I will be lost.’ So we hang on to our strongest opinions, even when they are growing ever more questionable. Remember, as Mercury changes signs, that it’s more sensible to draw reassurance from uncertainty. If you feel okay, even when you don’t know where you stand, at least you won’t deliberately stand in the wrong place just to make yourself feel better. Confused?

gemini May 21 – Jun 20
They say, ‘If you want something done, ask a busy person.’ Whilst a busy person may seem like they’ve no time to help, they’ve probably developed a ‘can-do’ mentality. They’ll be focusing on all that must be done and if you add a few items to that list, they’ll hardly notice. Whereas, if you ask someone who isn’t doing much, it may be because they’re not very active! Remember that if it helps today but, as Mercury links to Saturn in your opposite sign, don’t let someone add to your already overfull agenda! Anxious?

Jul 22 – Aug 22
We all have closets. Those closets all have skeletons in them. Those skeletons, though, have long since lost most of their identifying features. They’re not very interesting. The only power they possess is the ability to seem shocking when you first open the cupboard door and they leap out at you from the dark. Shine any kind of light on them and they soon become a pile of boring old bones. With the Sun in a new sign, joined by Mercury after its brief link to Saturn, If you want to conquer a fear from the past, stop hiding from it. Confused?

Sep 23 - Oct 22
As the Sun and Mercury leave your sign, why do you feel inclined to apologise for yourself? Have you made some great error of judgement? On the contrary. You’ve handled a difficult situation with intelligence and aplomb. This, though, has not stopped you from receiving unfair criticism. A part of you is tempted to accept it. You figure you must have done something to deserve it. Don’t do yourself such a disservice. Your doubts are not valid, your fears are based on fantasy and you have every reason now to walk forwards with calm confidence. Anxious?

sagittarius aquarius Nov 20 - Dec 20
Some people believe that the end of the world is nigh. It’s not hard to see why they think this. Just look at the state of the world! But then, there’s nothing new about how we all make such a mess of running this planet - or even of taking care of ourselves. Nor is there anything new about the expectation of an apocalypse. In fact, by most calculations, it’s seriously overdue! That’s because it isn’t coming. And, despite the worry today’s VenusUranus angle may incite, nor is the disaster that now fear in your personal life. Confused?

Jan 20 - Feb 17
People aren’t always reasonable. And they often don’t realise they’re being unreasonable. Their actions, to them, seem logical! When you try to tell them that they don’t seem very reasonable to you, they think you’re the unreasonable one. You may have reasons for doing something, and those reasons may make sense, but it still doesn’t mean that they’re the right reasons. Amidst a tense Mercury-Saturn link and a difficult Venus-Uranus angle, remember today, the right thing isn’t always the most reasonable thing. Anxious?

taurus cancer virgo pisces Apr 20 – May 20
It’s the nature of humanity to be a little selfish. Even when we offer someone our last chocolate, we often secretly hope they’ll decline. Yet, every now and then, we meet people whose happiness, for a while, becomes more important than our own. Their problems become our problems, and helping them becomes our pleasure. Your attention is moving from satisfying your own desires, to somebody else’s. By helping them you will help yourself. If you don’t make yourself a martyr to their cause, this may well be the case.

The stand-up comedian Simon Munnery once said that if you’ve got the crowd behind you, you’re probably facing the wrong way. It’s important in life not to adopt a ‘herd mentality’. Though there is, of course, nothing wrong with herds. We all want to feel part of a tribe and surrounded by people we feel connected to. But, we also need to be strong enough to be the voice of dissent when one is required. As the Moon trines Uranus, and Mercury changes signs, how can you both keep your allies and be creatively different? By applying creative solutions of course! Uncertain?

Aug 23 - Sep 22
Secrets are a bit like cats. There are some that you can keep, and some that will scratch. And many of them, given half a chance, will wander off and you’ll have no idea who they’re with and what they’re up to. It can be reassuring to keep them indoors, to have them around the house, in sight and under control. But it’s not their natural state. And sooner or later they’ll manage to find freedom. Today, open up the back door and let go of the one which is demanding to go out. It won’t wander far, nor will it be the menace you fear. Worried?

scorpio Oct 23 - Nov 21
Often, when we appreciate something, we say it’s worth its weight in gold. The phrase suggests everything has a price. And often it’s a phrase used in conjunction with the ephemeral. A great idea might be worth a fortune, but since thoughts are weightless, its actual weight in gold is minuscule. And, of course, it’s ideas that can manifest golden opportunities out of despairing situations. Like a modern-day alchemist, you’re about to develop the Midas touch. You may not be buried by bullion today, but you’ll find glitter in the dark. Uncertain? For a special message, call to hear your unmissable in-depth, forecast: 1900 959 005.
capricorn Dec 2 1 - Jan 19
Some ideas don’t feel right to pursue. They may, on paper, seem an appropriate way to proceed, yet something seems to caution us against their implementation. In these cases it’s wise to look at context. Nothing in this world happens in isolation; everything has a cause and effect. What goal, if you pursue it, could do more harm than good? Life is encouraging you to see the consequences of your actions. If you consider the potential outcomes of your choice and act accordingly, it will provide you with a more just, and ultimately rewarding alternative. Worried?

Feb 18 - Mar 19
It’s upsetting when we see people we care about having a dispute. There are inevitably casualties caused by their ‘falling out’. It isn’t just the people involved, it’s the hurt caused to the people who care about them. This week, if you find yourself disagreeing with someone, it’s worth pausing before taking action. Consider the bond between you. Is it really worth sacrificing for a perceived difference? What unites you is stronger. Use your powers of persuasion and perception, and the relationship can yet prosper. Uncertain? For a special message, call to hear your unmissable in-depth, forecast: 1900 959 005.
