YOUR STARS

- WITH OSCAR CAINER WWW.CAINER.COM

Today, Mars and Venus align with motionless Saturn, as it comes to the end of its retrograde phase. When a planet pauses, its influence is particular­ly powerful; and with restrictiv­e Saturn in the sign of friendship and society (for the first time in a generation) it’s no wonder we’re concerned… is another lockdown approachin­g? Perhaps. Will it be as bad as the first? No! Saturn’s connection with Mars shows us how to work harder and faster to make this eventualit­y less likely and less severe.

ARIES MAR 21 - APR 20

They tell us the world doesn’t owe us a living; that we need to get out and make things happen if we want to be successful and that just expecting good things won’t get us very far. Yet life’s full of inconsiste­ncies, and even old wise sayings contradict each other. Sometimes, challengin­g situations arise despite our best intentions. At others, good things happen even when we haven’t done anything specific to deserve them. The Mars/Venus link suggests something good is on its way. You’ve got lots to look forward to in October!

LEO JUL 24 - AUG 23

I don’t know about you, but I’m on the side of the angels. Oh! You are, too? What a coincidenc­e! Really, though, that’s not surprising. We all like to think that we’re on the side of the good and the noble. The vast majority of us strive to do our best; whether it’s for ourselves, our planet or for others. It’s just that we don’t all agree on what ‘the best’ actually is. So, how are you supposed to work out what to do for the best today? Listen to your intuitive Leo heart and you won’t go wrong.

SAGITTARIU­S NOV 23 - DEC 21

It’s easy to see life as a miraculous experience. Our planet feeds, waters and sustains more than seven billion people. Every single one of those people has relationsh­ips, dreams and desires. They also have thoughts, opinions and beliefs which sometimes overlap with other people’s and sometimes are exclusive. But, in the grand scheme of things, it’s not the difference­s that matter. A miracle of understand­ing is possible if you focus on what you have in common with a key person today.Capture the powerful energy of October’s skies. Call 1300 017 319.

TAURUS APR 21 - MAY 21

Life is nice and safe when things are easy. But aren’t they also just a bit boring? You’re not asking for everything to be simple today. You wouldn’t even want that. But, in a specific area you’d appreciate a bit of a break. Just for a moment. Just while you sort out the situation that continues to irritate you. As your ruler links with Mars, that’s certainly possible. But first, you need to open your mind to the possibilit­y of coming to a compromise. Things aren’t as black and white as you think. October is going to be special. For inspiring news, call 1300 017 319.

VIRGO AUG 24 - SEP 23

One of the consequenc­es of aging is that we grow more familiar with the sights and sounds of the world. This means we’re more able to take things in our stride and negotiate obstacles that would previously bring us to a halt. But it also means that we tend to grow used to things happening in a certain way. And, if we’re not careful, we develop intoleranc­es and discrimina­tions that we’re unaware of. You don’t know as much as you think about the situation you’re dealing with today.

In a month packed with cosmic creativity, transform your life. Call 1300 017 319.

CAPRICORN DEC 22 - JAN 20

We like to feel as if we know what’s going on, and we particular­ly like it when we feel as if we know more than other people. Some folk like that feeling so much they’ll do almost anything to get that sense of superiorit­y; they wilfully ignore any ideas that might detract from their lofty position. This, of course, isn’t an intelligen­t way to live life. As your ruling planet, Saturn, prepares to move forward once again, it will work in your favour if you allow someone else to think they know more than you. For good news about October’s exciting celestial outlook, call 1300 017 319.

GEMINI MAY 22 - JUN 22

We’re taught to be polite and say please and thank you. We also learn that there are certain things that we can’t do or say in public. Matters such as bodily functions (for example) need to be kept private. Nor are we supposed to overly stare at other people, or make remarks that can be overheard. All this is very understand­able. Yet, the impact of following these protocols sometimes leads to a difficulty in sharing important matters. You might need to break through one such taboo today. How can you benefit from October’s powerful Blue Moon? Call 1300 017 319.

LIBRA SEP 24 - OCT 23

When we talk about ‘risk-management strategies’, we tend to emphasise caution, care and circumspec­tion. Although this method often works, it’s not an iron-clad guarantee of success. In fact, an excess of caution can cause more problems than it solves. Sometimes it’s good to throw caution to the wind, embrace risky situations and learn from them. You’ve had to be circumspec­t and meticulous recently. But, as stationary Saturn prepares to turn direct, a looser style may be worth considerin­g. Change is possible this Blue Moon month of October. Call 1300 017 319.

AQUARIUS JAN 21 - FEB 19

Although we might be open-hearted and kind, it doesn’t mean that we don’t put our foot in it from time to time. Maybe we overreact to something said in jest, or leap to the defensive. At such times, we need to take a deep breath, stand back to regain perspectiv­e, and think about the best way to proceed. If you find yourself dealing with repercussi­ve ripples today, it doesn’t matter what role (if any) you may have played in the explosion. What’s more important, is that you’re part of the solution. Take full advantage of October’s inspiring cosmic climate. Call 1300 017 319.

CANCER JUN 23 - JUL 23

Across the world, people challenge themselves to do things they find difficult; from pursuits in which we physically push ourselves to the edge of our limits, to mentally challengin­g activities, whether they be work orientated or pleasurabl­e. Meanwhile, creative types are writing and painting and coming up with new concepts. Although all these things are hard work in one way, they also involve aspects we enjoy. As long as you appreciate what you’re doing today, it will be a success. Use October’s celestial energy to create positive change. Call 1300 017 319.

SCORPIO OCT 24 - NOV 22

You’re waiting for a missing piece of informatio­n. Although you thought you had a situation under control, it seems you weren’t as informed as you thought; a new developmen­t has prevented you from finishing things off and moving on. It’s confusing, because your attempts to uncover an answer haven’t revealed anything new; and you’re worried that your enquiries will open up a can of worms. Fortunatel­y, an inspiring piece of news is on its way. You just need to be a little more patient. October’s full of inspiratio­n; transform your life! Call

PISCES FEB 20 - MAR 20

We’ve been taught that we can’t turn back the hands of time. We’ve all heard this so often that we’ve accepted it as the truth. Yet we also know that time is much less rigid than it seems. Although the seconds appear to pass in a regular fashion when we watch a clock, sometimes hours pass in the blink of an eye, and at others, minutes pass incredibly slowly. In fact, as Einstein pointed out, time is relative. You have more power than you think over the timing of something important today.

It’s a month filled with awesome cosmic activity! Call
