OSCAR CAINER

yeSTeRDAy, we talked about the combination of neptunian and Uranian energy. Over the weekend, this influence is compounded by a series of aspects to other planets. While Venus begins a relationship with neptune, the Sun’s Saturn link creates a lasting Grand Trine, culminating with the Black Moon Solar eclipse. This powerful pattern provides a source of great strength. With Mercury turning retrograde, we may need to review recent decisions. But the universe is providing courage, perseverance and vision in abundance.

ARIES Mar 21 — Apr 20

LIFE is full of questions and — as far as we can tell — almost as many answers. There could even be more answers than questions. What’s certain is that there’s a wealth of information we have yet to discover, and that much more is possible than we assume! Even though we all know people who have all the answers, it seems wise to allow a little room for doubt. If we have too much confidence, life gives us a reason to rethink. Enjoy today’s opportunity to learn something new. The sky is positively charged with astrological promise. For your new inspiring guide to the week ahead, call 0906 751 5601.

TAURUS Apr 21 — May 21

YESTERDAY, we talked about dealing with setbacks. Actually, looking back on what I’ve written this week, I might have been a little more doomy and gloomy than was strictly necessary. It’s just that the messages for your sign all centre on the theme of ‘triumph over adversity’. Perhaps I’ve concentrated a little too much on the adversity. But this weekend, there is plenty of reason for hope. Today, Uranus and Neptune link to produce a highly-charged atmosphere. You’ll love what results. The sky is positively charged with astrological promise. For your new inspiring guide to the week ahead, call 0906 751 5602.

GEMINI May 22 — June 22

YOU’RE more able to handle a tricky situation than you give yourself credit for. The wealth of experience you’ve accrued is more than enough to navigate safely through these choppy waters. It’s more a question of perspective than anything. Although the problem you’re facing is daunting, it’s not so dissimilar to a million other awkward situations you’ve overcome. You’re just too close to see the pattern. Focus on the aspects that are most familiar and all will fall into place. The sky is positively charged with astrological promise.

CANCER June 23 — July 23

BENJAMIN Franklin wrote that those ‘who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety’. In one aspect of your emotional life you’ve made just such a sacrifice and, like a tiger that has grown to love the chains that bind it, you now doubt your ability to survive without them. But

LEO July 24 — Aug 23 VIRGO Aug 24 — Sep 23 you’re much stronger than you realise. A tiger never loses its instincts — and neither do you. Take that first step. The wonders of self-sufficiency will flood back. The sky is positively charged with astrological promise. For your new inspiring guide to the week ahead, call 0906 751 5604.

YOU often hurry to get things done. Usually, this is a blessing . . . when things need to be done quickly. But what you are trying to get done at the moment cannot be rushed and needs time and attention. You’d prefer it if this weren’t the case. This isn’t what you want to hear. You’d much rather get this sorted out asap. But, hastiness is not the best route out of here. Take your foot off the gas a little this weekend. You’ll find it gives you a better sense of where you’re really headed. The sky is positively charged with astrological promise. For your new inspiring guide to the week ahead, call 0906 751 5605. WHAT happens when we make mistakes? We apologise and vow to never to do it again. And that’s that. But, occasionally, after time passes, it emerges that what was dismissed as a blunder has brought real benefits. Although it caused problems at the time, genuine dividends have been reaped. Would you still dismiss this as an error? As your ruler Mercury turns retrograde in your sign this weekend, remember that wise folk change their minds when new evidence comes to light. The sky is positively charged with astrological promise. For your new inspiring guide to the week ahead, call 0906 751 5606.

LIBRA Sep 24 — Oct 23

THIS weekend, Uranus comes into focus. It makes a rare angle with Neptune, before being involved in the Grand Trine formed as the Sun aligns with Saturn. This represents opportunity, but there’s an air of confusion, too. And, a little like being late for an appointment on a rainy winter’s evening, you could be tempted to drive off without waiting for the windscreen to fully de-mist (especially when you’re provided with such a well-tuned engine). Be safe this weekend and choose clarity over haste. The sky is positively charged with astrological promise. For your new inspiring guide to the week ahead, call 0906 751 5607.

SCORPIO Oct 24 — Nov 22

MOST people eat meat. Most people watch TV. Most people jaywalk. But are ‘most people’ right? Not necessarily. There are, of course, unspoken laws that most people follow: drink water every day, give up your seat for someone less able to stand, pay taxes. When it comes to preferences, however, there’s no right or wrong way to be. Following what ‘most people’ are doing requires less thought — but it doesn’t nurture individuality. Break apart from the crowd this weekend. The sky is positively charged with astrological promise. For your new inspiring guide to the week ahead, call 0906 751 5608.

SAGITTARIUS Nov 23 — Dec 21

PEOPLE often think of logic and creativity as opposites — but that’s not true. Everyone can have inspiring breakthroughs. You might not be Beethoven or Monet, but that doesn’t mean you lack potential. It’s easy to forget that inspiration comes in all shapes and sizes. A successful but ‘left-field’ idea in the financial sector might not appear logical — but could be a creative solution! Trust your intuition. You’ll be surprised at what answers you uncover this weekend. The sky is positively charged with astrological promise. For your new inspiring guide to the week ahead, call 0906 751 5609.

CAPRICORN Dec 22 — Jan 20

HISTORIANS have always held positions in war counsels and ruling bodies, and been advisors to kings. But why elevate a humble historian so far above his or her station? Surely, history has no relation to modern-day wars or politics? Of course, history has everything to do with it. We’re all historians in one shape or form. Everything we know about relationships is shaped by what we’ve done right or wrong in the past. A familiar problem is presenting itself in disguise. Don’t let its new garb fool you. The sky is positively charged with astrological promise. For your new inspiring guide to the week ahead, call 0906 751 5610.

AQUARIUS Jan 21 — Feb 19

YOU are selfless to a fault. Rather than see anyone endure an unpleasant experience, you put yourself in harm’s way — and suffer twice as much as a result. Often you act unconsciously, so strong is your instinct to do the honourable thing. Sometimes you intervene not only to safeguard your nearest and dearest, but to help those who mean much less to you. Such generosity of spirit does you credit. But you are too important to commit an act of needless self-sacrifice this weekend. The sky is positively charged with astrological promise. For your new inspiring guide to the week ahead, call 0906 751 5611.

PISCES Feb 20 — Mar 20

FROM Egypt’s King ‘Ra’ to ‘Helios’ in ancient Greek mythology, Sun gods have been worshipped across the civilisations. It’s hardly surprising. Without the sun, life on Earth couldn’t survive. But the God of the Old Testament outranked the solar deity when he said ‘Let there be light’. Even in our postmodern era, we want to believe we work for the highest authority. Is that something you can claim at the moment? A change of circumstances will mean that you will soon feel that you do. The sky is positively charged with astrological promise.
