OSCAR CAINER

MERCURY hangs almost motionless in Aries. Tomorrow it begins to slip backwards in the sign associated with bold, enterprising, assertive energy. But despite any potential frustration, it brings a useful chance to check that the actions we’re inspired to take aren’t based on erroneous assumptions. Although no one wants ‘to be taken to school’ over a task, a little last-minute cramming for a test sometimes makes the difference between success and failure. It’s time to look again at what we thought we knew.

ARIES HAVE you read the Mar 21 — Apr 20 small print properly? If you check the details, you’ll see that ‘it’s not possible’. There’s a rule that says you ‘can’t do that’. You ‘need to talk to someone who is not here if you want to sort that out’. As Mercury edges towards turning retrograde in your sign, you might as well be prepared to hear statements like those above. It doesn’t mean you won’t have access to the energy to achieve what you want to achieve, though. When it counts, you know who you can trust – yourself.
