OSCAR CAINER

FOLLOWING its return home to Scorpio over the weekend, revitalised Mars brings a welcome boost of energy. But there’s no point in having a full tank of fuel if we’re uncertain about where we’re heading and we can’t see the road ahead clearly. With Mercury

ARIES Mar 21 — Apr 20

WHEN we work in a team we can accomplish great things. If we go it alone, there’s a limit to how much progress we can make. Teamwork is complicated, though. By necessity, it involves co-operating with others whose ideas and world views differ from ours. When the differences are obvious, they’re straightforward to navigate around. It’s the more subtle distinctions that create tension. Although someone you’re depending on is very similar to you, you can still find a way to work together. NEW! Your four-minute forecast for 2018. It’s going to be a much better year than you think. Find out why. Call 1550 511 611.

TAURUS Apr 21 — May 21

IT feels as if you have a difficult decision to make. Actually, it’s easier than you think. If you take a look at your options, they’re not equally weighted. One of them corresponds to a long-held dream, while the other looks like a reality you’d rather not have to contemplate. Chasing the fantasy may not be your best choice, though. The aspect that you’re unwilling to accept holds insight and value. If you can find the courage to take a look, you’ll realise the potential that it holds. NEW! Your forecast for 2018 is ready! Just give me four minutes and I’ll give you the keys to a great year. Call 1550 511 611.

GEMINI May 22 — June 22

YOU seem to be anticipating a hard time ahead. Why is life so difficult sometimes? As we move into the festive season, why should you be expecting tension, when you should surely be looking forward to goodwill and cheer? Someone close to you has raised their defences, and struggles to be generous in one area of their life. Their attitude is affecting yours. If you can trust positive actions today, and respond with kindness, you can move forward in a fresh happier way. NEW! Your four-minute forecast for 2018. It’s going to be a much better year than you think. Find out why. Call 1550 511 611.

CANCER June 23 — July 23

IN 1963, scientist Donald Currey was trying to date old trees in Nevada. When he ran into difficulties with specimen WPN-114, he cut it down. Only later did he realise that he’d felled the world’s oldest known living thing – nearly 5,000 years old. Our history is full of tales that reveal that we don’t always value what we have until it has gone. Is what you’re seeking to explore really more attractive than what you already have? You needn’t abandon what you value in order to pursue your dream. NEW! Your forecast for 2018 is ready! Just give me four minutes and I’ll give you the keys to a great year. Call 1550 511 611.

LEO July 24 — Aug 23

MOVIE characters often claim they ‘don’t get mad’, they ‘get even’. With Mars now settling into a new sector of the sky, there’s something in your past that is rearing its less-than-attractive head. Although you might be reminded of a difficult relationship, or conflict – this doesn’t have to be bad news, or mean revenge. Following Venus’s link to Neptune, there’s a creative way to look at a past hurt. It’s not easy; it takes courage to look, but if you do, you can heal, and move forward more freely. NEW! Your four-minute forecast for 2018. It’s going to be a much better year than you think. Find out why. Call 1550 511 611.

VIRGO Aug 24 — Sep 23

SOME people have a talent for public speaking. They enthral audiences – almost casting a spell. But words are one thing. Actions are another. And unfulfilled promises seem to be the way of the world at the moment. There comes a time when you need to judge people by what they do rather than what they say. You’re worrying because you can’t find the words to explain something. All you need to do is carry on doing what you’re doing. You’re showing the world how you feel. That’s what counts. NEW! Your forecast for 2018 is ready! Just give me four minutes and I’ll give you the keys to a great year. Call 1550 511 611.

LIBRA Sep 24 — Oct 23

SOMETIMES it feels as if life is conspiring against us. Other times, it’s not events that stop us in our tracks; it’s our own worries and doubts. Even when the road ahead looks clear and straight, if fear sets in, progress ceases. In fact, a physical obstacle is much easier to navigate around than a psychological one. Mars leaving your sign offers a chance to relax in the area of your life where you’ve been feeling tense and anxious. By relaxing mentally, you’ll find the route forward much easier. NEW! Your four-minute forecast for 2018. It’s going to be a much better year than you think. Find out why. Call 1550 511 611.

SCORPIO Oct 24 — Nov 22

YOU just need a little more insight. Actually, all any of us ever needs is a little more insight. A lot might overwhelm us, and we probably examine everything we do and realise we could be doing things differently – that doesn’t sound like much fun. Or maybe we’d appreciate the value of making mistakes and become a lot less serious. Actually, it might be fun after all! As Mars moves into your sign it encourages you to lighten up and enjoy life a little more. Insight will follow laughter. NEW! Your forecast for 2018 is ready! Just give me four minutes and I’ll give you the keys to a great year. Call 1550 511 611.

SAGITTARIUS Nov 23 — Dec 21

THE difference between what’s real and what’s imaginary is not always clear cut. What constitutes a problematic situation, as opposed to an issue you really need to do sort out? Our mind and moods get so entangled that it’s hard to read the signs life shows us. We tend to read the signals based on our expectations rather than what’s before our eyes. Although you’re feeling challenged now, it’s only because there’s an easier and better way to look at the situation you are in. NEW! Your four-minute forecast for 2018. It’s going to be a much better year than you think. Find out why. Call 1550 511 611.

CAPRICORN Dec 22 — Jan 20

TOPQUALITY products speak for themselves. If they are the right price and do a good job, word spreads. It’s a natural, easy process of sharing information. You should be experiencing something similar right now. There’s progress to be made, and it looks like it can be organically smooth. If it doesn’t feel like that, it could be that you’re overthinking your idea and trying to convince yourself and others about its value. You don’t need to push or try so hard today. Relax. NEW!

AQUARIUS Jan 21 — Feb 19

WHY do adventures always happen to other people? Why do you still have to fight for what you want to do, and for the recognition you deserve? A degree of opposition is a healthy ingredient in the recipe of life. Like chilli, with just the right amount, it gives depth of flavour and a bit of bite. Too much makes the dish unpalatable, not enough makes it too bland. You’ve had a lot to deal with recently. Now, as your outlook becomes easier, there’s more fun in the offing. You’ll like the flavour of this. NEW! Your four-minute forecast for 2018. It’s going to be a much better year than you think. Find out why. Call 1550 511 611.

PISCES Feb 20 — Mar 20

WHEN everything gets too much, it can be tempting to imagine that life in prison has its advantages. At least you’d have your meals prepared for you, and all the time in the world to catch up on your favourite films and TV shows. But in your current situation you feel more like an escapee, making your way towards freedom. You’re thinking inventively. You’re adapting to situations which are moving uncomfortably fast. But what you’re learning is valuable. You’re heading where you want to be. NEW! Your forecast for 2018 is ready! Just give me four minutes and I’ll give you the keys to a great year.
