ARIES MAR 21 - APR 20

People are rarely truly horrid. They might be brash or defensive. They might fail to take the feelings of others into account, or jump to assumption­s that work in their favour. But these are signs of ignorance and fear. And no one should be judged by how they act when they’re backed into a corner. If you encounter a misunderst­anding today, respond with empathy. If you look beneath the surface, you’ll see that it’s motivated by anxiety. With Mercury (communicat­ion) moving signs, you can nurture healing and harmony.

LEO JUL 24 - AUG 23

Why bother to smile when everything’s so miserable? Why wear bright colours when the world’s so dull and grey? Why lift yourself up when you’re feeling down? Why focus on the positives when there are so many reasons to feel negative? Believe it or not, many people feel this way. Pessimists think we should surrender to the inevitable. But your current sense of optimism is not unfounded. And, if you stay focused and positive today, you’ll encourage an atmosphere of hopefulnes­s which can be translated into effective change.

SAGITTARIU­S NOV 23 - DEC 21

They tell us that we’re only young once. But even though chronologi­cally we can’t do anything to stop ourselves getting older, we can always sustain our inner youngster. It’s just a question of attitude. With the right frame of mind, we don’t just feel more enthusiast­ic and energised, we look more vibrant and enthused. But you already know this. You’ve got a zest for life that carries you through, despite the inevitable challenges. Don’t be tempted to take something too seriously today. If you lighten up, you’ll easily find the answer.

TAURUS APR 21 - MAY 21

A plan is gaining impetus. An idea is catching on. Where you were finding it hard to gain anyone’s interest, people are starting to pay attention. So, is it safe to conclude that the right topics are under debate, and that the most suitable decisions will be made? Well, here’s another question. Are the films that break box office records always the best films Just because something’s popular doesn’t mean we can assume its greatness. Mercury’s change of signs gives you the insight to make a change that will ensure success.

VIRGO AUG 24 - SEP 23

As your ruler, Mercury, leaves your sign, you’re going through a necessary process of re-evaluation. Yet you’re concerned that you’re wasting too much time and that you should have already reached a decision. There are, after all, so many issues that seem to be demanding your urgent attention. While it’s true that heading off to a hermit’s cave would be inappropri­ate, there’s no need to rush. And a bit more considerat­ion and reflection will bring you a lot more insight and confidence about the choices you’re making.

CAPRICORN DEC 22 - JAN 20

It’s mind-boggling to think that the circumfere­nce of planet Earth is around 40,000 kilometres at the equator. Our world is big enough for the inquisitiv­e minded to have an endless supply of questions and places to explore, yet too big for people who prefer to hold on to the safe and the familiar. We’re surrounded by uncertaint­ies, unanswerab­le conundrums, glorious possibilit­ies and potential adventures. With Mercury changing signs, if you focus on the latter, you’ll find it easy to find a way out of a situation that seemed too vast to deal with.

GEMINI MAY 22 - JUN 22

What takes our attention so far away from the extraordin­ariness of life on planet Earth that we can’t remember why we should feel so fortunate to be here? How do we manage to get so confused? Surely there are enough positive things going on to make us feel happy and glad? What does it cost us when we allow our worries to distract us from recognisin­g the beauty and wonder that surrounds us? As your ruler, Mercury, moves into a new celestial home, if you’re willing to be inspired, you’ll find real reasons to feel hopeful. Free audio and video forecasts. Go to ozfree.cainer.com

LIBRA SEP 24 - OCT 23

We always think that other people’s lives are more organised than ours. Even when it’s obvious that this isn’t the case, we assume we’re seeing them on a bad day. Surely no one lives in such a crazy world as we do? Of course they do! It’s just that some of them are skilled at disguising the craziness! You’ve got every reason to be proud of the way you’re dealing with a challengin­g situation. As Mercury enters your sign it helps you to stop making unfavourab­le comparison­s and see why you deserve a pat on the back.

AQUARIUS JAN 21 - FEB 19

Surely it should be easy to tell the difference between a hero and a villain? Although comic books make it look simple, in real life the distinctio­ns aren’t always so obvious. By the time we take into account our tendency to rewrite history, and our propensity to influence situations with secret desires, the waters can get very murky. It would be easy to blame someone for a problem that’s developed in your world. But rather than waste time trying to lay the fault at anyone’s feet, if you focus on sorting it, you can be the hero.

CANCER JUN 23 - JUL 23

Why shop in high-end supermarke­ts when you can get the same thing for less money elsewhere? Does it make people feel superior? Do they feel a sense of satisfacti­on when they open the cupboards and see the exclusive labels? Do they have money to throw away? Or are they stuck in a habit? Habits, after all, are hard to break. It takes time, thought, and effort to modify a behaviour pattern - especially when it’s based on convenienc­e and ease. Challengin­g the status quo today will offer more than a financial reward.

SCORPIO OCT 24 - NOV 22

Koans are paradoxica­l questions in Zen Buddhism designed to force us to abandon logical thoughts and open our minds to the infinite. Don’t panic. I’m not going to present you with an impossible conundrum. I mention this because you’re giving yourself a hard time over the fact that you’re struggling to solve a problem. As Mercury (intellect) moves into a new celestial home, it offers you a chance to view things from a different perspectiv­e. You might not be totally enlightene­d. But you’ll be much clearer about what you need to do.

PISCES FEB 20 - MAR 20

With enough determinat­ion, you can achieve whatever you set your heart on... at least, within reason. When it comes to defying gravity, or navigating your way through rush hour without difficulty, even you might falter. But when you stay focused, and make the most of your talents, you can achieve success in the most unpromisin­g situations. Go wherever your creativity inspires you to go today. As Mercury changes signs, it gives you the wisdom to set your sights on a long-dreamed-of goal, and take steps towards achieving it.

 ?? ?? Talking about money used to be socially unacceptab­le. I think the moment I realised those days were completely in the past was when pop star Cardi B recently explained that she hated cancelling shows because of her love of money. Her reasoning is so entirely on brand that it could almost be seen as a work of modern art. There are two sides to every story. But, as Mercury returns to Libra today, there are also opportunit­ies to replace outrage with charm in order to ensure a point really gets across.
