OSCAR CAINER

Mercury is closing in on the Sun ahead of their Solstice rendezvous. It’s repeating the planetary aspects the Sun has just been making. Today, it makes a sharp angle with uranus, the bringer of change, and a supportive aspect with Jupiter, planet of wisdom and adventure. Tomorrow brings a dynamic alignment with Neptune, planet of empathy and enchantment. We may have been acting on impulse, but the next few days will show that it wasn’t without reason.

ARIES Mar 21 — Apr 20

LIFE’S what you make it. Though trying to get it to work the way you want it to is easier said than done. The universe’s song has many voices. Some are tuneful, others have a more subtle timbre. We all play many roles. And we all have programs wired into us that keep us playing the same tunes which, though comforting, restrict creativity. As we move towards the Solstice, you have a fresh music sheet. Add notes of your own and you’ll have a new song to sing. Confused?

TAURUS Apr 21 — May 21

SOMETIMES the cosmos presents us with a chance to step beyond the walls we’ve built around ourselves, especially when they’re preventing us from making the moves we need to make. ‘Stuckness’ can be comfortable — we all need to remove ourselves from the fray and curl up with a tub of ice cream and a TV box set. But sometimes you have to put watching the final episodes on hold as life drags us back into action. Try not to resent demands made on you today. Uncertain?

GEMINI May 22 — June 22

WHERE’S your white lab coat and your horn-rimmed glasses? Now here are the conical flasks filled with bubbling liquids. It’s time for some experimentation. The tried-and-tested formulae are just not getting the results you need. Focus instead on what could be achieved by a breakthrough. Rescue a few ingredients from the back of the cupboard and borrow something new. Although you might not have a ‘eureka’ moment, you’ll be enjoying yourself. Worried?

CANCER June 23 — July 23

IF YOU’RE daunted by the thought of having to confront yet another problem, just think about immunisation. The discovery that exposure to a small amount of disease can prevent fullscale outbreaks in the future was groundbreaking. The same is true of day-to-day life. Every time you resolve a problem, you retain skills you can use when

you encounter a similar situation and overcome it more easily. Today, your previous experiences enable you to resolve an issue

with ease. Anxious? There’s a very special message for you when you call to hear your unmissable, in-depth, four-minute, week-ahead forecast. Call 0906 751 5604.

LEO July 24 — Aug 23

BLACK-AND-WHITE thinking is easy, as are absolutes and whole numbers. Shades of grey and fractions make us feel less comfortable. They’re demanding, not least because they’re messy. When a situation becomes confusing, it’s difficult to see the way to navigate through it. You want to put your foot down and find a definitive route, yet you need to avoid hastiness. The map you’re holding is coming into focus. A little patience and you’ll be on your way. Confused?

VIRGO Aug 24 — Sep 23

WHAT’S the difference between chasing a dream and pursuing an objective? Objectives are tangible targets. They sit atop staircases with practical steps, bringing us closer to our goal. Dreams, though, tend to be elusive. We might find them tantalisingly within our grasp, but in an instant they are further away than we’d realised. You’re on the verge of progress. It would be easy to downplay an achievement because it’s not yet ideal. Take time to value your successes. Uncertain?

LIBRA Sep 24 — Oct 23

WHEN we change, why don’t our values always change, too? It’s our personal code of ethics that allows us to make sense of this world, so it’s natural to hold on to our beliefs. We all have an inherent sense of who we are, but can self-knowledge become unhelpful? It’s possible to hold on to your convictions too tightly, so loosen your grip a little and ask yourself why it’s so important for your principles to remain the same. If you can revaluate, you’ll see possibilities opening before you. Worried? There’s a very special message for you when you call to hear your unmissable, in-depth, four-minute, week-ahead forecast. Call 0906 751 5607.

SCORPIO Oct 24 — Nov 22

SOMEONE has pitched an idea to you and you’re less than convinced. It seems unrealistic — even impossible. But how many inventions do you have in your home that our ancestors would have scoffed at? TVs, cameras, phones — even fridges! Some of the most progressive reforms, central to our society, came from dreamers who persevered. Sometimes even the impossible is possible. It just has to be inspiring. Give your idea more time. Who knows what might happen! Anxious?

SAGITTARIUS Nov 23 — Dec 21

TIME and again, people are stunned by their conversations with children. They often see the world in a way we have forgotten. We label people ‘naive’ when they take joy in commonplace things we’ve long ceased to notice. But every now and then their sincerity leaves us speechless. We become more cynical at the price of our natural happiness. It’s never too late though! Readjusting your perspective today can reveal new possibilities. Confused?

CAPRICORN Dec 22 — Jan 20

HOW many times do you make promises to yourself, only to break them a couple of days later? The problem is that once we slip up, we’re back in our old habits and, before you know it, time has slipped away. But it needn’t be this way. Not every bump in the road is a failure — actually, the bumps give us character. Don’t quit just because you made a mistake. The planets are looking favourably on you. If you want to change something big, you have the power to do it. Uncertain? There’s a very special message for you when you call to hear your unmissable, in-depth, four-minute, week-ahead forecast. Call 0906 751 5610.

AQUARIUS Jan 21 — Feb 19

WE CAN never be certain about anything. In fact, thinking we’re always right leads to complacency. It also leads us to make wrong decisions. So the good news is that your doubts are healthy. It’s natural to look back and wonder if you should have acted differently. Maybe it’s not too late to change what you’ve done — as long as you don’t end up hunting for the impossible. Wisdom today is doing only what’s necessary. Worried? There’s a very special message for you when you call to hear your unmissable, in-depth, four-minute, week-ahead forecast. Call 0906 751 5611.

PISCES Feb 20 — Mar 20

YOU’VE heard of self-help guides. Today, I’ve got a quick self-hinder guide for you. First, spend a long time thinking about things you’re not happy about, then blame yourself for all of them. Dwell particularly on your recent decisions, taking care to criticise yourself for each one. Keep repeating this until you don’t like yourself very much and are certain no one else does. Sound familiar? It doesn’t have to be that way. Tear up the selfhinder guide. Then help yourself to a happier future! Anxious?
