OSCAR CAINER

AT THE end of the week, Venus will move into Sagittarius and Mars will oppose Uranus. Venus’ new home will be both expansive and adventurous, nomadic and spirited. Meanwhile, Mars – which represents our passion and drive – will respond to Uranus’ desire for excitement. This is definitely not a climate for caged hearts or closed minds. We’re being encouraged to release our inner songbirds and sing sweet melodies. This could be the start of something dramatic, and beautiful.

ARIES Mar 21 — Apr 20

THE question today is whether you’re really doing what you want to be doing or, better, what you feel you should be doing? If you’re sacrificing your happiness in pursuit of a goal that you don’t really want to achieve, it’s time to stop. Feeling obliged to continue doing something makes even simple situations complicated. The pressure you’re experiencing isn’t due to outside challenges, it’s coming from within you. If you can let go of an old belief, you can move on with ease. Major changes are possible as the planets spin into inspirational new alignments. Make the most of it! Call 1550 511 611.

TAURUS Apr 21 — May 21

WAITING for a phone call or reply to an email or text is horrid. We imagine all sorts of reasons why we’re not getting the response we want. Sometimes, though, it’s because the person we want to hear from is out of their depth. What seems like a quick and easy thing to answer has created problems for them. If there’s something you need to hear, it’s worth thinking about how you deliver your information. If you present the facts clearly, you’ll increase your chance of a response.

GEMINI May 22 — June 22

MARY POPPINS gave us great advice when she sang A Spoonful Of Sugar – a sugar coating really does help a bitter pill go down. It’s a philosophy that works away from the medical cabinet, too, which is why it’s in your forecast today. When we find ourselves in the difficult position of having to share information that is going to be difficult to hear, we’d be well advised to follow her advice. If you find yourself in that position today, be as diplomatic and gentle as you can be. Major changes are possible as the planets spin into inspirational new alignments. Make the most of it!

CANCER June 23 — July 23

MONTAGES were a feature of films in the Eighties. A scene set to cheesy music, showing the main character pumping weights, or learning a new skill, would cut to a slim, newly polished and competent version of themselves. Sadly in real life there’s no way of skipping through hours of training and preparation. Happy endings need commitment. But the good news is that this doesn’t have to be gruelling. If you put your heart and soul into what you’re doing, it’ll be as stimulating as it is challenging. Major changes are possible as the planets spin into inspirational new alignments.

LEO July 24 — Aug 23

MANY great movie stars use the ‘method’ form of acting in which instead of pretending to be out of breath for a scene, they’ll run round the block between takes until they’re actually struggling for air. Be it Brando’s weight gain or Day-Lewis’s boxing, some of the greatest dramatic performances resulted from this kind of commitment. You don’t need to go to such physical extremes today, but if there’s an idea you believe in, do all that you can to see it through.

VIRGO Aug 24 — Sep 23

INTUITION is like a whisper: we need to give it time and focus in order to understand what it’s saying. Some emotions are equally difficult to interpret. Fear, for example, can begin as a whispering so quiet that we can doubt that we heard it. It can be just as easy to dismiss a shiver as a premonition. Of course, it’s not always this way – sometimes those same emotions are felt in loud ways we can’t ignore. The danger comes when we overreact. What seems loud and unavoidable isn’t necessarily so.

LIBRA Sep 24 — Oct 23

BY definition good communication involves exchanging ideas. We say something and wait for a reply. Space is allowed for pauses – which are such a natural part of this process that they’re sometimes indiscernible. But it’s a different story altogether when we shout. You now have an opportunity to resolve a contentious and problematic situation. If you want to call a truce, though, it’s going to take a change in your tactics. Patience is the key towards finding healing today. Major changes are possible as the planets spin into inspirational new alignments. Make the most of it! Call 1550 511 611.

SCORPIO Oct 24 — Nov 22

FREEDOM is priceless. We recognise this and campaign for people who don’t have it. Yet in our day-to-day lives we take on bank loans, mortgages and relationships that bind us to commitments that are hard to free ourselves from. These things make us feel secure. We want the freedom to decide what to commit ourselves to and what to avoid. You aren’t suffering from a lack of options, it’s just that you want to be able to pick one that you haven’t got. The good news is that it’s on its way. Major changes are possible as the planets spin into inspirational new alignments. Make the most of it! Call 1550 511 611.

SAGITTARIUS Nov 23 — Dec 21

NOT only are the Sun, Mercury and Saturn in your sector of the sky, they’re about to be joined by Venus, and the Full Moon. This isn’t a flash in the pan situation, either: this major celestial team will affect you until the solstice. That’s enough time to make some critical decisions and reinforce them with actions of commitment and intent. Indecisiveness can be banished with purpose. Doubt can be overridden by hope. The cosmos can fulfil your wishes. You’re on the road to success. Major changes are possible as the planets spin into inspirational new alignments. Make the most of it! Call 1550 511 611.

CAPRICORN Dec 22 — Jan 20

I AM not at all comfortable with the idea of predestination. Although people think it’s a part of astrological prediction, astrology is built on the belief that we have the power to alter our lives ourselves and that the planets are there to guide us, not to rule over us. Sometimes, though, it’s hard to remember that our lives aren’t written down in a tome somewhere and that we’re not following a predestined path. No one can dictate your future.

AQUARIUS Jan 21 — Feb 19

BEING part of a team is a wonderful feeling as long, of course, as everyone’s pulling their weight. But when you know that someone isn’t as committed as you, there’s a weak link in the chain. And that is so frustrating that it can damage the success of the unit. But when we feel as though we’re being judged for not playing the part we’re supposed to be playing, it undermines our confidence. Someone in your life needs help rather than criticism now. You can be the inspiration they need. Major changes are possible as the planets spin into inspirational new alignments. Make the most of it! Call 1550 511 611.

PISCES Feb 20 — Mar 20

THE coming Mars and Uranus opposition, plus the approaching alignment between your two rulers, are putting your life under a magnifying glass. Your spirit of optimism is being augmented, but so are your anxieties. With what were just mere concerns seemingly growing in relevance, it’s no wonder that you don’t know whether you’re coming or going. This situation is abetted by other people – who are full of uncertainty about their intentions. Try to be clear – the situation is about to improve.
