Hi Oscar, Can you explain what the astrologic­al houses are for? Yours, Duncan (Gemini). Hi Duncan, Astrology focuses on the planet (what’s happening), the sign (how it’s happening) and the house (where it occurs). The houses are created by dividing the sky into twelve sections, depending on the position of the horizon when you were born. If you don’t know the time, it’s more complicate­d. I often use ‘Solar Houses’ which takes the Sun sign as House 1. So Sun-Geminis, for example, have Scorpio as their 6th Solar House. Oscar.

aries Mar 21 – Apr 19

Yesterday, Venus (planet of love and money), converged with Jupiter (growth and wealth), in the part of the sky associated with your financial management. So we talked about emotional investment­s. But, two plus two rarely equals four in astrology. It’s never that simple. There’s always room for interpreta­tion. So, I’m interpreti­ng this moment as one where the cosmos urges you to have faith in something (or someone) despite their unknown quantities. It’s up to you to learn more.

A well-honed plan is like a good insurance policy; it protects you against potential risk. It’s always worth having one of these – after all, there are always unforeseea­ble incidents waiting round the corner. But, whenever we plan a project, we focus on reducing the number of things that can go wrong, rather than factoring in potential strokes of luck. We hope for the best, but plan for the worst. If you start hoping, as well as planning today, your plans could go awry in a delightful way. Want to discover some priceless informatio­n about this week? Call 1900 959 005.

According to the old saying, you should never look a gift horse in the mouth. The appropriat­e action would be to thank the horse and allow it to continue on its way. It would certainly be terribly ill-mannered to take a look in that horse’s mouth, or question the value of the gift. But suppose you want to say thank you, and decline the offering? Do you need to accept a gift you don’t need? You don’t have to accept whatever’s being offered to you today. A ‘no thank you’ will do just fine.

libra Sep 23 - Oct 22

It’s easy to turn a small matter into something critical. Or trivialise a situation that deserves more of our attention. What really counts is just doing ‘enough’ to make a difference. It involves the art of finding a balance between doing too much and too little – and finding this critical point of equilibriu­m takes practice. The first indication that you’ve found it is when things start to go well. It may well be that your current dilemma will take less energy to solve than you think. Go gently today.

sagittariu­s Nov 22 - Dec 21

Just because we can’t see the threads that bind us to the people we love, we function as if we are all unique. But imagine if those threads bound us with complete strangers too. Suppose nothing happens in isolation, and that everything we do has an effect on the world. Following your ruler’s link to Venus, you can pull on some of the strings with ease today. If you just trust in their existence, there are fascinatin­g connection­s just waiting to be discovered, explored and enjoyed. Want to discover some priceless informatio­n about this week?

aquarius Jan 20 - Feb 18

‘Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down’ is a line from Mary Poppins. It’s an enduringly catchy lyric – but it holds little intellectu­al weight. I doubt many people have studied the words and agonised over their meaning. I even thought twice about using them in your forecast – in case you thought I might be insulting your intelligen­ce! Yet, they underline the point that needs to be expressed. Today, something sweet can overrule your critical faculties, in a most delightful way.

taurus Apr 20 – May 20

Some folk never feel the need to flaunt themselves at the expense of others. They’re confident in their abilities, so don’t seek approval. It’s the people who spend their time patronisin­gly correcting us who should arouse our suspicions. Don’t be too impressed, or intimidate­d today. Anyone who seeks to build them selves up by putting others down, isn’t worth losing time over. Look out for people who encourage others, without sacrificin­g their own sense of selfworth. They can help you today. Treat yourself to some valuable insight and priceless informatio­n. Call 1900 959 005.

cancer Jun 21 – Jul 22

According to the Chinese system of Feng Shui, rearrangin­g your home not only makes it feel different, it fundamenta­lly reorders your life. It’s to do with the flow of positive and negative energy. By placing selected objects in certain places, you can accentuate feelings of wealth, love and happiness. But, equally, putting the TV in the wrong room, or a sofa at a displeasin­g angle can cause unrest. Just moving a table might not solve your current problem. But the solution is under your nose!

virgo Aug 23 - Sep 22

Life’s too short to spend time doing things we don’t like doing. So, why then, are our days filled with doing things that we ‘have’ to do? And, by whose judgement do we define life’s shortness? Actually, our time here on earth is too short to take advice from anyone who’s judging our actions and decisions. And, too short too, to take anything, too earnestly. If you can free yourself from someone else’s ideas of what you should be doing, your time today can be well spent. Treat yourself to some valuable insight and priceless informatio­n. Call 1900 959 005.

scorpio Oct 23 - Nov 21

Yesterday, Venus’ kindness converged with Jupiter’s generosity, for the first time in your sign, for eleven years. We call folk with these characteri­stics ‘big-hearted’. But, since cardiologi­sts consider an enlarged heart to be a worrying condition, does the cosmic climate represent a threat to your psychologi­cal health? Will being big-hearted leave you vulnerable? With your ruler also linked to Saturn, you’re anything but a soft target. No one’s invulnerab­le, but you can love with confidence now. Treat yourself to some valuable insight and priceless informatio­n. Call 1900 959 005.

capricorn Dec 2 2 - Jan 19

We’re advised not to worry about what other people think of us. But it’s easy advice to give when being thought of as ‘different’ involves an element of risk. And, in this competitiv­e, fast-paced world that we inhabit, it can be much easier to navigate a stress-free path with friends by your side, and an ability to garner enthusiasm rather than antagonism. If a potential problem presents today, it would be wiser to resist being drawn into the debate. Your kindness will be the most helpful attribute you can offer. Treat yourself to some valuable insight and priceless informatio­n. Call 1900 959 005.

pisces Feb 19 - Mar 20

You’re known for your sensitivit­y. What other people shrug off, you take to heart, and worry over. You have a keen sense of how others feel about you, and want their judgement to be fair. Sometimes, the best way to protect yourself from comments is to hide away. But this is not an option today. You need to hear what someone’s thinking, and you need to respond. The cosmos is providing you with support. And the respect and understand­ing you’ll gain make the risk worth taking. Treat yourself to some valuable insight and priceless informatio­n. Call 1900 959 005.
