OSCAR CAINER

HAPPY Solstice! Happy Saturnalia! This year I don’t know which to celebrate more. Saturn in Capricorn is the rarer of these events, though. And as it returns home for the first time since 1988, there’s a sense that much of our hard work will begin to pay off. Endeavour will be respected and achievement recognised. For those who never lost faith in the goodness of the world, commitment will be rewarded. And though experience makes us wary of false dawns, it shows us that light always finds a way to shine through. ARIES THERE is someone, Mar 21 — Apr 20 somewhere, who needs to draw the line, and the person to do it is you. For too long, an unsatisfactory situation has been taking up too much time and energy. People are so used to being involved in it that they’ve lost sight of a clear way out. Now that Saturn’s settling into a new sign, conjunct the Sun at the Solstice, you’re exceptionally well placed to do something constructive to move the situation on. You’re being empowered with natural authority. Be clear and strong today. The Solstice, and Saturn’s return to its celestial home, can transform your life. For inspiring news, call 1550 511 611. TAURUS THE universe Apr 21 — May 21 defies our understanding. We’re told it’s expanding, but what is it expanding into? Scientists tell us that if we tried to leave it we’d simply arrive back where we started! But if we managed such a feat, rather than being a failure, it would surely be a triumph of technology! Today the Sun marks the end of its journey across our skies and returns back in the other direction. Its path is circular. Now’s not the time to focus on an abstract destination. Not when the journey itself is the true achievement. The Solstice, and Saturn’s return to its celestial home, can transform your world. Find out more! Call 1550 511 611. GEMINI IT’S one thing May 22 — June 22 to be on a train, wondering if it’s taking you in the right direction. It’s another thing entirely if you have the same doubts, but you’re driving the train! Recently, you’ve been forced into a situation where other people have been setting the agenda: you’ve been going along with decisions rather than making them. Now, following Saturn’s move out of your opposite sign, the dynamics have changed. You’re back in control. This is the moment to begin asserting your authority. The Solstice and Saturn’s return home brings powerful, positive change! For valuable news, call 1550 511 611. CANCER THE Solstice June 23 — July 23 brings you an opportunity to reshape your concept of time. It offers the chance to appreciate the wisdom that comes with the years you’ve spent here on the planet, and a sense of optimism for those that lie ahead. Rather than seeing time as your enemy, you can begin to see it as your friend. You’re being energised and encouraged to appreciate all that you’ve learnt from your past, and finally realise how you can use that knowledge to move into a happier, more abundant future. The Solstice, and Saturn’s return to its celestial home, can transform your life. For inspiring news, call 1550 511 611. LEO THE Solstice marks July 24 — Aug 23 the moment when for three days, the Sun, our central star, appears to be motionless on the horizon. It marks the natural cosmic rhythm more clearly than any other celestial event. We’re all creatures of habit, and our lives composed of rhythms and patterns that we don’t usually notice because we’re so familiar with them. With Saturn’s recent change of signs, and its connection to your ruler, you’re now completing a cycle. Its time to open up to something new. The Solstice, and Saturn’s return to its celestial home, can transform your world. Find out more! Call 1550 511 611. VIRGO PSYCHOLOGISTS tell Aug 24 — Sep 23 us that even the most sensible, down-to-earth people on the planet all have an ‘inner child’ within them. We also all have an ‘inner parent’ who balances that immature side of our nature. It’s necessary to have equilibrium between these facets of our personalities. Recently, your inner grown-up has had a lot to deal with. Now, though, as the Solstice shines its light into even the darkest of places, you can access the youthful exuberance that’s been waiting to be expressed. The Solstice and Saturn’s return home brings powerful, positive change! For valuable news, call 1550 511 611. LIBRA YESTERDAY we Sep 24 — Oct 23 talked about Saturn’s change of signs as being like having extra grip on your tyres. It’s interesting, though, that Saturn has something of an astrological reputation. Astrologers are often quick to pinpoint it as a source of negative friction. But friction helps cars stick to the road. Although the Solstice, combined with Saturn today, might not be friction-free, this energy provides you with a foundation. Build on what transpires, and you’ll move ahead with ease. The Solstice, and Saturn’s return to its celestial home, can transform your life. For inspiring news, call 1550 511 611. SCORPIO SOMEWHERE Oct 24 — Nov 22 within us all, we have a subtle tuning device that enables us to keep physically balanced even when our bodies are rotated into odd positions, or moving at high velocity. We also have a similar system that affects our psychological functions. When we’re not feeling OK, we use it to make ourselves feel better. Sometimes, though, it swings so that we feel OK about situations that are unsatisfactory. You know deep down that something isn’t quite right. Take a closer look today. The Solstice, and Saturn’s return to its celestial home, can transform your world. Find out more! Call 1550 511 611. SAGITTARIUS FAIRY Nov 23 — Dec 21 stories have morals woven into them. I recently read the story of Goldilocks to my son. It teaches us that whenever something appears to be ‘just right’, the chances are that it won’t stay that way for very long. No wonder, then, that we grow up to be distrustful of anything that appears to be too good to be true! Saturn’s recent departure from your sign has given you a feeling of relief. Now, as the Sun leaves Sagittarius too, you may be worrying the improvement will end. But it won’t. The Solstice and Saturn’s return home brings powerful, positive change! For valuable news, call 1550 511 611. CAPRICORN THE Sun Dec 22 — Jan 20 enters your sign today, within hours of Saturn making its home there. Add Pluto, which continues on its journey through Capricorn, and voila! It really is time to say, ‘Happy birthday!’ Finally, the future you’ve been hoping for is turning up! You enjoy being realistic. You like to keep your feet on the ground. Now, as you begin to enjoy your responsibilities, you’ll realise how much they nourish you. Your organisational skills will be valued too. You’re about to feel appreciated for who you really are. The Solstice, and Saturn’s return to its celestial home, can transform your life. For inspiring news, call 1550 511 611. AQUARIUS VENUS and Jan 21 — Feb 19 Uranus formed a supportive angle as Saturn, your traditional ruler, changed signs. Now, as the Sun converges with Saturn, you’re faced with a choice. It’s within your power to solve a problem – but will you do it the easy or the difficult way? Why would you even consider the hard option? Well, only you know the answer to that! You’re dedicated and trustworthy by nature. And quirky too. You don’t like doing things if they’re not ‘right’. Whichever path you take, you’ll end up in the right place. The Solstice, and Saturn’s return to its celestial home, can transform your world. Find out more! Call 1550 511 611. PISCES YOU sometimes Feb 20 — Mar 20 worry that other people will take advantage of you; that your kindness and generosity make you vulnerable. Then, it’s tempting to erect barriers and create boundaries which make you less available. But being stranded behind the walls of a castle doesn’t make anyone feel good for long. Your friends, as well as your foes, find it hard to reach you when you’re stuck behind high defences. The Solstice brings a reminder that you can trust (and support) the people around you. The Solstice and Saturn’s return home brings powerful, positive change! For valuable news, call 1550 511 611.
