YOUR STARS

- WITH OSCAR CAINER WWW.CAINER.COM

Before the supermoon’s arrival, we talked about Venus’s link with Saturn and the importance of respecting emotional boundaries. And while that’s still relevant, it’s not an excuse to wall ourselves away from feelings that seem too intense to handle. We all have the right to repel unwanted advances. But we can’t keep our hearts in castles. Sometimes, like the Bastille in Paris, a defensive fortress can become a prison of our own making. As Venus and Neptune align today, freedom of expression could be revolution­ary.

ARIES MAR 21 - APR 20

What are you particular­ly good at? No, not that. Or that. I’m thinking about the rare skill that you don’t have much opportunit­y to use. In fact, you tend to overlook this talent. It comes to you so naturally that you don’t give it much thought. Then, every once in a while, you demonstrat­e it, and are surprised by its effects. The challenge you’re facing right now can be easily sorted. You just need to draw on your experience of using that skill and put it into action. You’ll find that your prospects change and the future looks bright.

LEO JUL 24 - AUG 23

If any of the situations you find yourself dealing with today don’t implicitly need your involvemen­t, take a backwards step. If debates or discussion­s get heated, remove yourself from the fray. You’ll save yourself a lot of emotional stress and strain. You don’t need to be involved in any jostles for power or position. Let any expression­s of dissatisfa­ction happen without you. Once things have settled down (which won’t take long) you’ll find the outcome suits you perfectly. Spontaneou­s action will be far more effective than strategy.

SAGITTARIU­S NOV 23 - DEC 21

You just need to know where you’re headed. A sense of direction would more than compensate for all the assets you’d like to have, but which seem to be irritating­ly out of reach. Yet most of these would only make you feel better about being involved in a situation that lacks a sense of purpose. While you can be confident that the items you require are making their way into your world, today, you just need to feel certain about what you have to do. That sense of certainty is coming. It will change everything for the better.

TAURUS APR 21 - MAY 21

Often doing the right thing means being selfless. In order to champion our cause, or fight a corner, we have to subjugate our own needs to achieve something greater. But today, as your ruler, Venus, links with imaginativ­e Neptune, the cosmos provides you with a chance to do things differentl­y. It brings an opportunit­y to look after your own best interests without being selfish. No grey areas, no murky morals, no questionab­le intentions. With kindness and creativity, your actions will benefit you, and be appreciate­d by others.

VIRGO AUG 24 - SEP 23

Planet Earth is full of people who are good at some things but not so good at others. There are very few humans who are brilliant at everything they turn their hand to. But you’re a Virgo. You can’t be put into the average category and it would be wrong to judge you according to everyone else’s standards. You’re moving into the closing stages of a project that will bring both personal and wider benefits. Keep doing what you’re doing. You deserve to feel proud of yourself, and to graciously accept the recognitio­n you’re due to receive.

CAPRICORN DEC 22 - JAN 20

Some people, when asked for directions, prefer to make something up rather than say that they don’t know. Although this seems like a ridiculous thing to do, we all sometimes struggle to admit to a lack of knowledge, and fudge answers to hide our self-perceived failings. Of course, the person who’s lost their way has no idea whether the answer they’ve been given is trustworth­y or not. As Venus and Neptune link today, don’t forget that the only person who’s going to be bothered about what you may or may not know, is you.

GEMINI MAY 22 - JUN 22

If you need informatio­n, ask. If you don’t, then don’t ask. And, if you’re unsure whether you have all the facts, ask yourself whether or not you need to know more. Just be wary of asking someone for something when they might give you an answer that suits their purposes rather than yours. Better to ask the cosmos. As Venus links to perceptive Neptune today, your intuition is heightened. Your inner self knows exactly what you need to do. If you channel your energy into a worthy goal, the results will be surprising­ly pleasing.

LIBRA SEP 24 - OCT 23

With your ruler, Venus, linking to Neptune, good news is winging its way towards you. It does, however, involve a few complicati­ons. You need to reconsider your commitment to a certain situation and question whether you need to be so immersed in its resolution. The informatio­n coming your way will enable you to reassess. As long as you’re sensitive to other people’s needs, everything will turn out fine. Some promises need keeping, but compromise­s can be made. When you take everything into considerat­ion, that’s good news too.

AQUARIUS JAN 21 - FEB 19

Astrology is neither an art nor a science. It’s a belief system – and beliefs are important and powerful. But that doesn’t mean they’re always helpful or positive. If we convince ourselves that something bad is going to happen, there’s a good chance it will. People around you are encouragin­g you to believe that a situation you’ve been involved with isn’t going to turn out as you’d hoped. It would be easy to believe them. Yet, if you look closely at the evidence (rather than listen to what’s being said), you’ll see you’re right to be optimistic.

CANCER JUN 23 - JUL 23

If we could, wouldn’t we choose the easiest, most straightfo­rward path through life? Isn’t it preferable to hear the smooth hum of wheels on freshly laid tarmac than experience the bangs and bumps of a challengin­g road surface? Yet, nothing worth having, they say, comes easily. So, should we choose to make things difficult for ourselves? Does the cosmos really reward people who go out of their way to make their lives convoluted and tricky? You can reach a happy compromise between what’s ‘easy’ and what’s right today. Go to ozfree.cainer.com.

SCORPIO OCT 24 - NOV 22

How can you be certain that you know something? What if you’ve somehow made an assumption? Or have misconstru­ed the facts and (dare I say it) made a mistake? While it’s always helpful to be aware of our fallibilit­ies, you don’t need to be worried about that today. With Venus linking to Neptune, you might find yourself rememberin­g some of the errors you’ve made. But think too, of the mistakes you’ve corrected and the success that has ensued. You’ve got a wealth of experience. It’s time to believe in yourself.

PISCES FEB 20 - MAR 20

If we didn’t have different views and opinions, planet Earth would be a dull place. Maybe, on a deep psychologi­cal level, we know this; that’s why we disagree with one another. Maybe we sense that if everyone got along, we’d all be bored. Or maybe not. Yet, for some reason, there’s always someone, somewhere to disagree with, and groups of people we can’t stand. As your ruler, Neptune, aligns with Venus, if you offer a metaphoric­al olive branch to someone you’ve had issues with, the improvemen­t will benefit everyone.
