Hi Oscar, last December I had an overwhelmi­ng feeling that Christmas should have been on the 26th. Is there anything in the stars to suggest that time sometimes shifts by a day? Yours, Duncan. Hi Duncan, astrologer­s work within a ‘window’. Depending on the pace of a planet’s orbit and the significan­ce of the event, its influence may last a day or even weeks. Even when alignments become exact, part of the world is sleeping in a different time zone. So ‘when’ sometimes matters less exactly than ‘how’. Oscar ARIES MAR 21 - APR 20

The ups and downs of life are such that even the most surefooted folk take the occasional stumble. Success involves learning, over time, how to pick ourselves up and start over again. It’s about being persistent. Failure is no more than giving up in a spirit of despair when we’ve been hit by a setback. You have a resilient character. There have been many times in your past where you’ve shown determinat­ion and come through against the odds. The strength you’ve shown recently is about to be rewarded.

LEO JUL 24 - AUG 23

It seems that the more time we spend on this spinning ball of rock, the less we can be sure of. Think, for example, about the technology we’re surrounded by. Only a few years ago who would have thought such things were possible? Just consider for a moment what you can do on the small device that fits into your pocket! Our social protocols have changed too. What was once deemed okay is no longer the case. And vice versa. Something you see as being impossible is no longer so.

SAGITTARIU­S NOV 23 - DEC 21

Really scary movies don’t show us the monster. They give us the flash of an idea and leave the rest to imaginatio­n, which is always far more evocative and creative than anything that can be produced in the CGI department. A certain kind of ambiguity is more interestin­g than the wrong kind of certitude. The cosmos is offering you a hint of what could be coming up next in your life. Even if it looks thrilling, don’t get too carried away. Try not to exaggerate it. Let things unfold naturally today. Want to stay focused and happy? Your weekly forecast will help.

TAURUS APR 21 - MAY 21

We learn something new every day, which can be inspiratio­nal, enabling and exciting … just as long as we don’t feel as if we’re just trapped in a classroom. Even academics have days when they simply need to get away and take some time out for relaxation and fun. That’s what we’re all after. In the Venusian glow of your ruler’s recent activities, a touch of silliness is exactly what you need to bring a renewed sense of purpose and perspectiv­e. So, for the time being, just enjoy yourself! Find the best way to move forward and ensure future success. Call 1900 959 005.

VIRGO AUG 24 - SEP 23

How do you know what you know and can you trust it? Where did your informatio­n come from and have you done a good enough risk assessment of your facts? This is a week in which your inquiring mind is going to be very useful. You’ve got certain ideas about your capabiliti­es. You’re pretty confident about the options open to you … what’s within your reach and what’s impossible. Yet the cosmos sees things differentl­y. It wants you to know that you’re more powerful than you think. Find the best way to move forward and ensure future success. Call 1900 959 005.

CAPRICORN DEC 22 - JAN 20

I’d like you to imagine that you’ve got a big piece of paper in front of you. Take a pen and draw a line down the middle. Now, on one side write down all the things that are irritating you or making you feel downhearte­d. Try to keep your writing small so that you don’t need to spill over to the other side of the paper. When you’ve finished, it’s time to think about the other side. What are you going to write there? There may not be as much, but … it’s worth much more than all the other stuff.

GEMINI MAY 22 - JUN 22

Financial consultant­s, scientists, IT developers and engineers all have special languages of their own. They use buzzwords and vocabulary that makes little sense to anyone who’s not initiated into their world. For those on the outside, the jargon sounds confusing and reinforces the idea that we should leave everything to these ‘experts’. You’re now wrestling to get to grips with an important subject that will improve your life. If you learn a few new terms, you’ll have the means to make a breakthrou­gh. There’s no need to worry. You just need some guidance. Call 1900 959 005.

LIBRA SEP 24 - OCT 23

Even in the most perfect relationsh­ips, we sometimes push our luck a little. We might make light of something that ought to be taken seriously. Or start a fight over something silly just because we’ve had a bad day and need to get it out of our system. The special bonds we create with the most valuable people in our lives take hard work. It takes energy and commitment to establish the balance between give and take. Today brings the opportunit­y to bring new equilibriu­m into your world. There’s no need to worry. You just need some guidance. Call 1900 959 005.

AQUARIUS JAN 21 - FEB 19

We all have a tendency to avoid facing facts sometimes. There’s no harm in this when it allows us to keep dreaming about a fantasy. But it becomes dangerous when it prevents us from making decisions that could help us avoid difficult situations. It’s always better to be positive rather than negative. And better to trust than to be suspicious. But pessimism and realism are different qualities. The situation you’re now assessing will benefit from as much of your objectivit­y as you can find. There’s no need to worry. You just need some guidance. Call 1900 959 005.

CANCER JUN 23 - JUL 23

We often say that something is ‘impossible’ when we actually mean that it’s very challengin­g. We weigh things up, estimate the amount of effort that it will take and, if it looks as if we’ve got a huge task on our hands, we use that ‘i-word’. The problems arise when we lose sight of the difference between two situations. Today, if you really want to achieve something, you can do it. But, since it’s unlikely to fall on to your plate, it’s worth assessing your desire for it and the energy you want to expend.

OCT 24 - NOV 22

There’s always something to get excited about, to look forward to, or to cherish - regardless of how small it might be. Of course, there are always things that can frustrate, anger or disappoint us, too. Some people even blame optimism and positivity for these emotions - after all, without them, how would we know what we’re missing? But a universe without hope, joy, love, or dreams would be miserable indeed. Something exciting is now hovering on your horizon. Seize it with both hands.

PISCES FEB 20 - MAR 20

Soon enough, you’ll be able to dance to the beat of your own drum. The need to compromise will, of course, never be entirely eradicated but at least, you’ll be the one setting the parameters. It will be your lines that others will need to conform to. Although the intensity of the past few weeks hasn’t dissipated entirely, it’s on its way out of your life. Your dedication and commitment are about to be rewarded. More importantl­y, though, your conviction­s and beliefs will soon be vindicated. To find the best way through the twists and turns of the week, call 1900 959 005.
