YOUR STARS

- WITH OSCAR CAINER WWW.CAINER.COM SCORPIO

Mercury is retrograde. It heads backwards across our skies and re-enters Leo before returning to its natural progressio­n. Often this can feel like a period of frustratio­n: of returning to difficulti­es we thought left behind. But it doesn’t have to be this way. Over the weekend, the Sun began its Grand Trine that culminates at the Eclipse. Mercury, not so long ago, was involved in this cosmic relationsh­ip. Rather than reopening old wounds, we can use this time to return to our strengths, and remind ourselves of what we do best. Teletopia. Max call cost $1.32 per minute, including GST.

ARIES MAR 21 APR 20

Where do challenges come from? Every time we clean up one dispute, taking care to ensure that the damage is as limited as possible, then another complicati­on slides under the door. If keeping our physical surroundin­gs ‘sorted’ is a never-ending task, our psychologi­cal housekeepi­ng is similarly relentless. With Mercury turning retrograde, you have an opportunit­y to sweep up a mess that has been building for a while. If you stop brushing things under the carpet, you’ll have a fresh, clean start.

LEO JUL 24 - AUG 23

When it comes to making decisions, there are some you can make in a flash: ice cream flavours, birthday cards, usernames… these are easy.

Would deciding whether to quit your job and follow your passion seem less daunting? The weight of a decision depends on your frame of mind. You have an important one to make. Don’t let fear stop you making the right choice.

SAGITTARIU­S NOV 23 - DEC 21

Johnny Cash kept one of his best performanc­es until last. In Hurt, released shortly before he died, he speaks with heartbreak­ing tenderness about growing old and his own mortality. Except this song isn’t his at all: it is a cover version. In the right hands and with the right spirit, something good can be turned into something special. With the Sun now in a Grand Trine featuring Uranus and Saturn, opportunit­ies for alchemy are at hand. You can transform something good into something great. Discover what the historic eclipse means for you this week. Call 1900 959 005.

TAURUS APR 21 - MAY 21

You’re naturally charming and easy to be around. If there’s a party, or social gathering or even a situation at work that needs diffusing, you can be relied upon to add style and humour. So where are your doubts coming from? Recently you seem to believe that your abilities are slipping – and, since these are such a vital part of who you are, you’re feeling lost. But you are not losing your touch. Withdrawin­g and worrying is not the way to proceed. Your confidence is on its way back. Good. We need you.

VIRGO AUG 24 - SEP 23

Usually, when your ruler is in your sign, you’d expect to feel grateful for the boost it brings. Your practical and efficient contributi­ons would be all the more appreciate­d. Now, though, with Mercury retrograde, you can see from a different perspectiv­e. It’s becoming obvious that you’ve taken on too much. The cosmos is granting you the gift of realism. And, though it goes against the grain, it’s time to say ‘no’ to some requests. If you can avoid spreading yourself too thinly, you’ll have much more to offer.

You need to know how the amazing eclipse will touch your life. Call 1900 959 005.

CAPRICORN DEC 22 - JAN 20

Don’t you just love to be told when you’ve got something wrong? Isn’t it satisfying to learn that your efforts haven’t really worked out, and that your ideas aren’t quite what’s needed? Of course, I’m winding you up. But I’m highlighti­ng some of the inevitable questions you’re asking yourself. There is no need to feel deflated, defeated or down-hearted. This is your perfect moment for reassessin­g. You’re not being held in detention. As you’ll soon discover, there’s much to value in this revision. You need to know about the powerful eclipse. Pick up the phone! 1900 959 005.

GEMINI MAY 22 - JUN 22

All cars are fitted with rear-view mirrors. We spend most of the time as drivers, looking ahead, but it’s critical to be aware of the entire view. It seems though, that we find it easy to forget to check. If we managed to do it all the time, there’d be fewer accidents. In life too, it’s important to check behind. Reflecting and looking over our shoulders gives us perspectiv­e and guidance for the journey ahead. As Mercury turns retrograde, there’s a vital clue in your recent past that can influence an important choice.

LIBRA SEP 24 - OCT 23

If you were a car, what would it be? A sporty number perhaps, with the soft top down to feel the breeze in your hair? Or a timeless classic. Or maybe a reliable family saloon that doesn’t turn heads but gets you from A to B without fuss? Whatever your choice, it’s as if you’ve had a new, more powerful engine fitted. That’s the influence of Mars and Pluto. You’re feeling revved up and raring to go. But, with Mercury retrograde, plot your route carefully before you roar off down the highway. Discover what the potent power of the eclipse means for you. Call 1900 959 005.

AQUARIUS JAN 21 - FEB 19

Although I’d been warned about the ‘threenager’ phase, I wasn’t prepared for the power of a toddler’s stern tellings-off. Some mornings the toast must be cut into five, yes five, pieces! Other days it mustn’t be cut at all, and woe betide the parent who gets it wrong! For a quiet life, I used to submit to His Lordship’s demands. But I’ve begun challengin­g the more unreasonab­le orders. And, despite the initial backlash, this is slowly leading to improved relations. You too, have more power than you realise.

There’s an exciting eclipse! Find out how it can touch your heart. Call 1900 959 005.

CANCER JUN 23 - JUL 23

Health practition­ers, from convention­al and alternativ­e branches of medicine, all agree that stress is bad for us. If we were less frazzled, and more able to escape the busyness and demanding nature of commitment­s, we’d all feel considerab­ly better. Of course, when you’re under pressure, the last thing you need is someone telling you to chill out. Stress, I’m sure you don’t need me to tell you, is addictive. That’s the dilemma! The good news is that an unhappy situation is changing. The strain is easing.

OCT 24 - NOV 22

When you’re feeling a bit down in the dumps, it’s not always easy to see the reality of a situation. You many be surrounded by people who are willing to offer support, but you just can’t see it. In the same way, when you see someone in distress, you wonder why they don’t ask for help. Someone wants to alleviate some of the stress you’ve been carrying. What’s more, you’ll benefit from their company. Accepting help may be hard to do, but, when the time comes, you’ll more than return the favour.

PISCES FEB 20 - MAR 20

We’re living in the informatio­n age. For many of us this means being in constant communicat­ion with friends and colleagues, in the same house, the same work-space, and across the world. We have umpteen discussion­s via email and social media, not to mention real face-to-face conversati­ons. Yet we still often misread other people’s intentions. Your current predicamen­t stems from layers of misunderst­anding. Is it possible to untangle this web? Some good old-fashioned listening will save the day.

Feel the power of this historic eclipse. For your new prediction call 1900 959 005.
