Zodiac forecasts

- with Oscar Cainer

Tomorrow marks the return of Saturn’s harmonious link with Uranus. Although these two planets sometimes seem at odds, together they encourage us to reaffirm our commitment to a psychologi­cal awakening, and see an important change through to its conclusion. Any new endeavour is bound to have teething troubles, so you may find yourself having to call upon strengths you thought you wouldn’t need to use again so soon. But 2017’s Saturn-Uranus aspects won’t return for another thirty years. Surely they justify any effort?

aries Mar 20 – Apr 19

Luck. How much do you need? If you’ve got as much as you need, then even if you don’t actually need very much, you’re lucky! And if you haven’t? Well now, perhaps we need to reconsider the issue of how much you think you need. Might you have wrongly identified a requiremen­t? Could you be looking for the solution to a problem that you don’t actually face? Or might there be a simpler way to set everything straight? Venus, in your sign, is about to make a wonderful opposition with Jupiter. You can get what you truly need. Improve your life under this rare, amazing cosmic climate. Call 1900 959 005.

gemini May 21 – Jun 20

Think about a pot with a hole in the base. ‘How much can it hold?’ An entire ocean could pass through such a vessel, but not a single drop of it would ever be retained. To some extent, we’re all like pots with holes, in as much as our flaws and foibles cause us to leak. And even when we work to plug those gaps, we end up hanging on to thoughts and feelings that fill us up so fully that we no longer have room to accept anything new. Today, make sure your cup runneth over with hope and joy, not stress and fear. Improve your life under this rare, amazing cosmic climate. Call 1900 959 005.

leo Jul 22 – Aug 22

With strict Saturn about to link to rebellious Uranus, you need to put a boundary in place. There’s a line you don’t want to cross, a limit you feel strongly inclined to be bound by. But if you drag your heels, hold back your involvemen­t and resist various sources of pressure, won’t you stir up resentment? No. You’ll find that others are happy to respect your judgement and follow your lead. You’re the one who has to say ‘this far and no further.’ It takes courage. But you’ll be rewarded by real satisfacti­on. Improve your life under this rare, amazing cosmic climate. Call 1900 959 005.

libra Sep 23 - Oct 22

We hide behind our fears. We take shelter in our doubts and anxieties. They provide us with excuses - reasons why we can’t do this or that. Narrow horizons feel safe to us. Thus, unconsciou­sly and inadverten­tly, we hold ourselves back, limit our options and keep opportunit­ies at bay. Recent dramas have effectivel­y exposed an area of your life in which you’ve been selling yourself short. Yet, as Venus prepares to move opposite Jupiter, you start to see how it’s possible to start reaching for something better. Improve your life under this rare, amazing cosmic climate.

sagittariu­s Nov 20 - Dec 20

Optimists, we’re often told, are foolish. People willing to think the best of others are dangerousl­y naive. If we don’t keep looking over our shoulder, trouble may sneak up from behind. But then, if we never stop looking back, we fail to see a clear, safe way to go forwards. You’re not sure now whether it’s wise to be hopeful. Yet Saturn, linking with Uranus, suggests your new path is worth committing to. To expect the worst is simply to issue it with an invitation to enter your world! Invite in the best instead!

aquarius Jan 20 - Feb 17

This year will go down in your history book as a demanding one. So far, you may be more conscious of what it has taken out of you than what it has given back. Even now, you’re aware of decisions to be made, and seemingly regrettabl­e circumstan­ces to adjust to. But you’re making greater headway than you realise. While I’d love to say everything’s due to get suddenly easier, as your rulers make their harmonious connection tomorrow, the best I can promise is that slowly but surely, delightful progress will come.

taurus Apr 20 – May 20

You can be reluctant to take on a challenge. It’s wise to be cautious. Still, though, we must ask whether, in your desire to avoid upsetting an apple cart, you’re leaving lots of rotten apples festering at the bottom of the pile. You can argue that it doesn’t matter as long as you keep putting fresh ones on top. But sooner or later, you’re going to be overwhelme­d by the distinct smell of cider vinegar! As your ruler prepares to oppose Jupiter tomorrow, the moment to take a leap of faith approaches. Improve your life under this rare, amazing cosmic climate. Call 1900 959 005.

cancer Jun 21 – Jul 21

Have you ever watched one of those speeded-up films of a plant growing, or a building being constructe­d? They’re inspiring to watch, but they give a misleading impression. In reality, things simply can’t happen that fast. If we sit around hoping and wishing that they could, we’ll simply become upset when it’s clear that we’re going to have to wait a whole lot longer. In many other areas of life now, you need to adjust some expectatio­ns. Remain hungry for change but don’t be ravenous. Improve your life under this rare, amazing cosmic climate. Call 1900 959 005.

virgo Aug 23 - Sep 22

Passengers on undergroun­d trains can’t always tell how far they’re travelling. They can see few signs of progress through the window. They just have to count the number of stations they’ve passed through, and hope that the vehicle isn’t deviating from its route. How do they know they’re not just sitting in one place being shaken by some great machine? They can only really tell when they disembark and climb up to their destinatio­n. You’re now surprising­ly near to where you want to be, even if it doesn’t much look like it. Improve your life under this rare, amazing cosmic climate. Call 1900 959 005.

scorpio Oct 23 - Nov 21

Today, I’m not sure how to phrase your forecast. I can tell you what’s unlikely, even if that disappoint­s you, or I can inform you of what’s feasible. The viable option is no second-best substitute. It’s by far the more preferable option. Yet, we all feel more inclined to regret what’s unattainab­le than to celebrate what may actually be on offer. As your two ruling planets make a tricky angle together tomorrow, I’ll trust that you’re wise enough to see beyond a frustratio­n, and recognise a golden opportunit­y.

capricorn Dec 2 1 - Jan 19

Stress should soon tumble from your shoulders. A sense of liberation lies in store. It would seem as if, ironically, you’ve created a prison for yourself in the very act of striving for freedom. We all do this kind of thing. We try hard to make ourselves happy. We get it fixed in our minds that all will be fine, provided we can do this - or that. Then we do it, and it doesn’t work. Or we become more unhappy than we would have been if we had done nothing! It’s time to let go of the old - and to welcome in the new. Improve your life under this rare, amazing cosmic climate. Call 1900 959 005.

pisces Feb 18 - Mar 19

Have you been duped? Fooled? Tricked? Taken advantage of? If so, it’s at least partially because something within you half wanted that to happen. Perhaps your guard was down. Your caution was compromise­d. Maybe you allowed yourself to be seduced by a dream. It’s not just enjoyable dreams that rob us of common sense. Scary nightmares get the better of us too. They can drown out the voice that says, ‘Don’t be so silly’. Soon, thanks to the harmonious Saturn and Uranus trine, you’ll recognise a better reality.
