YOUR STARS

-

Sometimes we fret about things we know need to happen. We put them off rather than getting on with them. But, by subjecting ourselves to needless worry in anticipati­on, rather than fronting up and taking control, we end up suffering twice as much! As Mercury leaves its shadow to converge with Pluto, fears that limit our ability to think about the future can be confronted. Once brought into the light they won’t loom so large. And, as Mercury enters Aquarius this weekend, the truth we discover can set us free.

ARIES MAR 21 - APR 20

We often confuse price with quality. If a pair of shoes is more expensive, we assume it’s better made and will last longer. If someone charges more for their services, we think they have more expertise. But that’s not always the case. It’s easy to selfpromot­e (or charge the earth) and get away with it. If someone claims to have all the answers this weekend, test their credential­s. The person who knows most about the delicacy of the situation at hand is the person reading this! You’re more than qualified to know how to handle it.

LEO JUL 24 - AUG 23

We think that brain surgeons and rocket scientists have the toughest jobs. But really, many of us could do them. I’m serious! You might not be able to walk in off the street and cover a neurologis­t’s shift, but with the right kind of dedication, commitment, and perseveran­ce you could learn the skills. The same doesn’t hold true when it comes to the ability to deal with people and their demands and eccentrici­ties. You’ve either got people skills, or not. This weekend you have the ability to sensitivel­y defuse a tricky situation.

SAGITTARIU­S NOV 23 - DEC 21

Shall we talk about your limitation­s? Shall we discuss your weak points and your defects? I don’t want to do this. And I’m sure you don’t. So this weekend, if someone wants to sit you down and criticise you, I’m sure you’ll soon tell them where to go! Which raises the question, why are you paying so much attention to the voice of your inner critic? It’s time to stop being so harsh on yourself. You’re about to see tangible proof that you’ve got every reason to be proud of something that you’ve been feeling inclined to apologise for.

TAURUS APR 21 - MAY 21

Looking back over recent events you could conclude that they’ve left you feeling older and wiser, but not necessaril­y happier. You’re not convinced that you made the best decision. If only you’d had access to informatio­n you now possess, you think you’d have done things differentl­y. And you’re giving yourself a hard time for not waiting. Yet what’s happening right now is happening for a reason. It’s an essential part of the process. And, as you’ll discover this weekend, it will yet lead to a result you feel rightfully proud of.

VIRGO AUG 24 - SEP 23

‘I’m just a soul whose intentions are good... Oh lord, please don’t let me be misunderst­ood’. This lyric highlights a frustratin­g injustice. Even when we’re trying our best, and being as clear as we can be, misunderst­andings arise. You’ve embarked on a mission that means a lot to you. Your intentions are definitely good ones. Yet no matter what you say, someone, who has a critical part to play, isn’t listening. This weekend, as your ruler, Mercury, moves into Aquarius, the communicat­ion process improves. And obstacles disappear. For free audio and video forecasts go to ozfree.cainer.com

CAPRICORN DEC 22 - JAN 20

Let’s get straight to the point. No implicatio­ns and inferences. No leaving it up to you to work it out. I’m going to tell you exactly what the right thing is to do this weekend. Ah. But here’s the problem. Who’s to say what’s ‘right’? Right and wrong are absolutes… and life, as we know, is seldom black or white. As Mercury leaves your sign it gifts you with the insight to review sensitivel­y your assessment of a relational challenge. If you resist making judgments and avoid distinctio­ns, you’ll access a place of empathic understand­ing.

GEMINI MAY 22 - JUN 22

We do some things because we need to do them. And we do some things because we enjoy doing them. Since we all need to enjoy ourselves, it follows that if we’re doing something we enjoy, we must be doing something we need to do. And if we’re not enjoying it, we don’t need to do it. Unfortunat­ely, life’s not so simple. You can hold your own debate about what is (or isn’t) necessary this weekend. I just need to reassure you that with your ruler, Mercury, entering Aquarius, if you’re not enjoying yourself yet, you soon will be.

LIBRA SEP 24 - OCT 23

You’re in charge this weekend. It’s over to you. If something goes wrong, no matter who’s at fault, you’ll be accountabl­e. Aargh! It’s no wonder so many people shy away from positions of responsibi­lity! Luckily, you’re not one of them. In this pressurise­d situation, you can stay calm and composed. You know what you’re doing. You’ve thought about any potential problems… and you’ll cope with them. Which is why you’ve got the support you need. You can rise to a challenge, and take it to a satisfying conclusion. Well done.

AQUARIUS JAN 21 - FEB 19

With Mercury, the planet of communicat­ion, moving into your sign, this could be a surprising­ly good weekend. It could uplift you, inspire you and leave you feeling content. It could do all these things… and more. But will it? Well, the planets never force anything. We always have free will, and an element of choice. So it’s up to you. You can decide to focus on issues that worry you if that’s what you want to do. But if you rise above such matters, you’ll attain a new level of clarity and comfort. Why not expect the best?

CANCER JUN 23 - JUL 23

The story of David and Goliath is an inspiring tale of how intelligen­ce and courage overcame a giant of the battlefiel­d. It’s the embodiment of the phrase “fight smarter not harder”. We could all learn a thing or two from this tale. Intelligen­ce, confidence and bravery: these make a winning combo. But isn’t it possible that the conflict could have been avoided altogether? Couldn’t David have tried to negotiate a deal? Don’t let an appealing narrative obscure a more straightfo­rward, conflict-free solution this weekend.

SCORPIO OCT 24 - NOV 22

A series of irritating details are taking up too much of your time. What’s worse, is that some of these trivial matters are disguising themselves as significan­t issues that need to be dealt with. You keep thinking about one particular situation and realising that although you should to be able to ignore it, you can’t. This isn’t because you’ve lost perspectiv­e. It’s because it involves something (or someone) you care about. If you prioritise it this weekend, you’ll avert a bigger problem, and clear your mind for other, more rewarding activities.

PISCES FEB 20 - MAR 20

“Who do you think you are?” I know this phrase is often directed at people who have high opinions of themselves, but I’m using it in its literal sense. As Mercury moves into independen­tly minded Aquarius it brings an ideal moment to assess your sense of self and your expectatio­ns. Do you deserve the best? When you look ahead, do you see success and contentmen­t? Have you set your aspiration­s too low? You’re special. You’ve got Venus in your sign. There’s every reason to be optimistic and enjoy yourself.
