YOUR STARS

WITH OSCAR CAINER

ARIES MAR 21 - APR 20

When people really annoy us it’s often because they display characteristics that we possess. So, if we feel uncomfortable about our tendency to ‘say the wrong thing’, or feel secretly unhappy when we don’t get the best slice of cake, we have a big response when we see other folk exhibiting those traits. Christmas puts us under pressure to get on with all sorts of people. If you work out why a certain someone is so challenging, you’ll find that they are much easier to deal with than you think.

LEO JUL 24 - AUG 23

I wish I had a mattress as comfy as Sleeping Beauty’s must have been. Yet maybe the tale of her 100-year sleep is a metaphor for the way in which we all exist in a dreamlike state. The lives we lead are just pale reflections of what we could be doing. We begin to understand the real meaning of existence when we consider the miracle of each breath. This Christmas, a kind of awakening occurs in which you see the nature of your key relationships with new eyes. Appreciation is your gift.

Happy Christmas! If the season loses its sparkle, call 1300 017 319

SAGITTARIUS NOV 23 - DEC 21

No matter how hard you try, you can’t please everybody. There will always be someone who thinks you should have done more, tried harder or done it differently. Christmas is a time when you’re driven by your desire to make people happy. Of course, you’ll be dealing with your fair share of challenges and sensitive situations. So, as long as you consider your own, as well as other people’s needs, you’ll skilfully manage to walk the emotional tightrope, and have a lovely Christmas.

TAURUS APR 21 - MAY 21

These days, weather forecasting is a highly complex art. Not only are there confusing distinctions like wind-chill factors, but we demand a minute-by-minute accurate prediction of what’s going on. Maybe I should do something similar. Although upcoming events might have the occasional frosty edge to them, there’s a high chance of sunshine; strong enough to thaw out any icy patches. And, any cloudy moments will be swept away by a warm breeze. Your Christmas forecast is bright. Happy Christmas! If the season loses its sparkle, call 1300 017 319.

VIRGO AUG 24 - SEP 23

An adjustment is required. It needn’t be a huge one. But then, even the tiniest of adjustments can have enormous effects. Just think of trajectories back in your maths lessons. Two lines begin at the same point. Then, gradually, they pull apart until eventually (in theory at least) they reach opposite ends of the horizon. So, over the festive season, a seemingly minor shift of emphasis can produce a dramatic change of atmosphere. Your kind-heartedness can help create a happy Christmas.

CAPRICORN DEC 22 - JAN 20

Only fools think they know all the answers. Wisdom comes from being able to acknowledge our limits; knowing that we’re not bound by them, yet not obliged to push ourselves to the edge of what we can do. Since your quiet level of inner confidence is well placed, you’re more than capable of coping with the highs and lows of the festive season. The obstacle you’ve become aware of is nowhere near as high as it looks. As you approach it, you’ll see how easy it is to jump over.

GEMINI MAY 22 - JUN 22

Most of our fears grow out of a tendency to exaggerate and make assumptions. Even when we have good reason to feel nervous, we manage to ramp up our fears by letting them take centre stage in our minds. What’s going to happen is going to happen. And vice versa. Of course, this Christmas, you have the power to influence situations and diffuse potential dramas. But to do this, you’ll need to be clear-thinking and calm. To achieve this, just stop worrying about how things ‘should’ be.

LIBRA SEP 24 - OCT 23

The speed at which you’re making progress is astonishing. Yet what’s even more astonishing, is the direction you appear to be heading towards. How did you choose that destination? Although there’s something unlikely about the situation you find yourself in, there’s something rather perfect about it! Over Christmas, a series of unlikely, but very timely events will unfold that encourage you on your journey. The gifts in store for you will be unusual, but very pleasing.

AQUARIUS JAN 21 - FEB 19

Who, exactly, is qualified to determine good from bad, and right from wrong? Yes, this is the time of year when traditions must be honoured, promises must be kept and certain protocols have to be upheld. Fine. Yet let’s be clear … there’s an exception to every rule. So, if you find yourself feeling as though someone’s backed you into a corner, you have more options than you think. With your ingenuity and your charm you can achieve almost anything you put your mind to this Christmas. It should be fun! Happy Christmas! If the season loses its sparkle, call 1300 017 319.

CANCER JUN 23 - JUL 23

Snappy slogans have a way of ringing true. So, we believe the saying, ‘there’s no gain without pain’. Besides, we’ve all been through difficult times and come out better for them. Yet, does that mean that we always have to struggle before we can enjoy things? Although there will be challenges over Christmas; there’s no need for them to become the base from which the good times unfold. You can find a way to fulfil your needs, so that you enjoy yourself as much as everyone else.

OCT 24 - NOV 22

Whatever you do, make sure that you don’t cut off your nose to spite your face. Or saw the branch off the tree that you happen to have climbed onto. Definitely don’t shoot yourself in the foot either. Or be too clever for you own good. There. I think that’s enough of a list of things you ‘shouldn’t’ do. So let’s focus on what you should be focusing on. As long as you try to mix confidence with sensitivity; determination with adaptability, and honesty with kindness, you’ll have a wonderful Christmas Happy Christmas!

PISCES FEB 20 - MAR 20

Even great jokes lose their humour when badly delivered. And if a terrible ‘cracker’ joke is told with style, it can make everyone laugh. So how amusing is your Christmas going to be? You’re concerned that an aspect of your life isn’t being taken as seriously as you’d like. There’s a challenge ahead, and you’re not sure how to face it. Yet there’s humour to be found even in the difficulty. If you look for it, you’ll discover a lightness that shows you what to do. Your happiness will be contagious.
