OSCAR CAINER

Dear Oscar, I was intrigued by the fact that there was no Full Moon in February. I can’t remember this ever happening before. Does it have special astrological significance? Thanks, Kristian Dear Kristian, it seems the last time this occurred was in 1999, and the next time will be 2037. These all coincide with double Blue Moons (although that’s not always the case). As we head towards our second Blue Moon, the optimism it inspires can drive away any February lunar, er, blues! Oscar

ARIES Mar 21 — Apr 20

WITH the Sun in your sign, the goodness, kindness and wisdom in your heart are being highlighted, and your unique gifts are being shown in their brightest light. I’m not saying just this to boost your ego — It’s the simple astrological truth and it’s time you acknowledged your power. Of course, there are times when you find yourself on a dark, gloomy road. But as the sun makes its way back into a strong position in your life, it brings warmth and energy. Following the Equinox, you’ll start to feel it. Let the warmth and power of the Equinox inspire you. Call your latest four minute forecast: 1550 511 611.

TAURUS Apr 21 — May 21

TAUREANS are sometimes reputed to have stick-in-the-mud qualities — but there’s something rather wonderful about sticky earth! And you’re not really stubborn, you just have high standards which you’re understandably unwilling to compromise. Following the Equinox, ‘going with the flow’ will lead you into calm waters, but that doesn’t mean that you will need to give up your autonomy or silently accept a situation that feels wrong. But if you feel the desire to let go, you won’t find yourself cast adrift. The Equinox can transform your world. Make the most of the energy available to you now. Call 1550 511 611.

GEMINI May 22 — June 22

WHEN we’re strongly opposed to someone’s point of view, our position is easy to explain. Challenging communication problems occur when people who agree most of the time come to blows over a particular point. The Equinox indicates you share key views with several important individuals. Yet as Mercury slows down, you might find you are focused on areas of disagreement. If you concentrate on understanding and reaching for peace, you’ll find ways to navigate around discord. The Equinox brings powerful positive change! There’s great news in your latest forecast. Call 1550 511 611.

CANCER June 23 — July 23

THE problem with being reasonable is that it often seems to happen that some folk have a tendency to take advantage of your evenhandedness and become more unreasonable. But could that be because you can sometimes be unreasonably reasonable? If you were to be more strident about your feelings on a hot topic, someone else would be forced to change their tone and attitude. If you’re hoping for more open communication, gently yet firmly express your concerns. You will get a positive response. How will the Equinox transform your life? There’s inspiring news in your latest forecast. Call 1550 511 611.

LEO July 24 — Aug 23

THINK of a dashing warrior coming to rescue a community under attack, or a brave messenger crossing challenging terrain to deliver a vital communication. This is the stuff that makes great adventure stories, but we’re not quite so keen on acting out the modern-day versions of these tales. You’re being called to a role that will take courage and valour. You’ll need to be strong and singleminded. Following the Equinox, you can find the enthusiasm to fulfil the part you’re destined to fulfil. Let the warmth and power of the Equinox inspire you. Call your latest four minute forecast: 1550 511 611.

VIRGO Aug 24 — Sep 23

IT’S hard to sustain powerful passions. They often tend to take us by surprise with their intensity and then fade to a more endurable level. Even our most ardent desires and virulent dislikes can’t boil with intense heat for long. We move them to the back ring of our psychological hot plates and leave them to simmer while we get on with the day-to-day running of our lives. If you’re finding that the rising level of emotions is too much for you to cope with now, you have more control over it than you think. The Equinox can transform your world. Make the most of the energy available to you now. Call 1550 511 611.

LIBRA Sep 24 — Oct 23

HOLD the front page! The Equinox is shining light on to your relationships. This unexpected story can only be topped by discovering that roads are icy when it snows and that bread can be bought presliced! But I don’t want it to feel as though your forecast is being written by Captain Obvious. Although it’s usual for Librans to consider someone else’s viewpoint, this represents a shift of focus. What you admire about others isn’t as difficult to embody as it seems. There’s no one you can’t hold a torch to. The Equinox brings powerful positive change! There’s great news in your latest forecast. Call 1550 511 611.

SCORPIO Oct 24 — Nov 22

IF YOU harbour a secret desire to be a trapeze artist, a channel swimmer, an archaeologist or a classical composer, is it too late to begin? There are, of course, some careers that demand years of study. Yet, there are many inspirational stories of people who take on new and fascinating studies and pastimes later in their lives. If you can dredge up the motivation, you can do astonishing things now. Just by focusing positively on your dreams and allowing them the space to exist and grow, your life can begin to change. How will the Equinox transform your life? There’s inspiring news in your latest forecast. Call 1550 511 611.

SAGITTARIUS Nov 23 — Dec 21

‘WISDOM doesn’t necessarily come with age. Sometimes age just shows up all by itself’ wrote the author Tom Wilson. Although it contradicts what we often think about growing wiser, it makes sense. Surely the most important thing is to remember to enjoy life? You’re one of the lucky people who like to seize life’s opportunities, and you prioritise your well-being. You understand the importance of having fun and you want to enjoy yourself more. All you need to do is get out and do just that. Let the warmth and power of the Equinox inspire you. Call your latest four minute forecast: 1550 511 611.

CAPRICORN Dec 22 — Jan 20

FOLLOWING the Equinox and with Mars in your sign, you’re growing in strength and determination. You’re starting to realise that if things aren’t going the way you want them to go, you have the power and stamina to influence change. This is very good news. More challenging, though, is the possibility that you’ll find yourself being less tolerant and less forgiving than usual. This is not a suggestion that you should suffer in silence though. You can find creative ways to communicate with sensitivity. The Equinox can transform your world. Make the most of the energy available to you now. Call 1550 511 611.

AQUARIUS Jan 21 — Feb 19

SOMETIMES, successful communication doesn’t depend on what you say or how you say it, it’s the timing of your choice of words that counts the most. We can say the same thing, over and over with little effect, yet, when circumstances conspire to create the right situation, those same words will be heard. Following the Equinox, Mercury the planet of communication, is slowing down before turning retrograde. If there’s something you want to say, this is the moment to say it. You’ll avoid future confusion. The Equinox brings powerful positive change! There’s great news in your latest forecast. Call 1550 511 611.

PISCES Feb 20 — Mar 20

FOLLOWING the Equinox you should be starting to feel as if the pressure is easing. As you have time to take stock, you should be able to notice an improvement in your financial situation and an improved sense of security. If you don’t yet feel this way, it’s just a question of allowing more time to pass. Feeling better off can affect more than just your monetary circumstances. Being more content in your emotional situation will impact on your whole life. You’re entitled to feel comfort — and you’re about to experience it. How will the Equinox transform your life?
