OSCAR CAINER

MERCURY returns to Leo today in the latter stages of its retrogradation. over the weekend it slows down as it heads back towards the Grand Trine it formed at the end of July. Then it turns direct again, without ever quite reforming the band. yet even without the original line-up, there’s still plenty of talent left, and much music to be made. We may all have to re-visit the chords to a tune we thought we knew well. But we’ll also re-discover how enjoyable it is to play it.

ARIES Mar 21 — Apr 20

THE thing about hope is that it leaves room for disappointment. You get your hopes up, then the situation takes a turn, and things don’t work out as you’d hoped. You may feel that you have no one to blame but yourself — even if the situation was out of your hands. Is that where your current scepticism comes from? Whatever the root cause, you now have a real reason to be hopeful. With Venus having changed signs, a certain situation can work in a surprisingly good way.

TAURUS Apr 21 — May 21

WE OFTEN malign people who drop out. We frame them as quitters who lack inner-strength. But how many of those people who quit their job or education are motivated by self-determination? Cultural expectations can be stifling and in some cases, nigh on impossible to escape from. Surely there’s great strength in following your heart, despite any backlash you might face? You need to make a choice between what you want and what others want for you. Listen to your heart.

GEMINI May 22 — June 22

IMAGINE that you’re running, and suddenly see a wide ditch. What do you do? You jump, clearing it like a hurdle. In the seconds before that decision, you’ve analysed the problem, and figured out how to proceed. So, what’s stopping you doing that now? Maybe it’s because you’re in so much confusion that you can’t identify the problem. In that case, you just need to admit your ignorance! Then take another look. When you go back to square one, the way forward becomes much clearer. Understand what’s happening in your horoscope and discover how to assure success in September. Call 0906 751 5603.

CANCER June 23 — July 23

I’VE tried this week to suggest that something you don’t want to happen isn’t as certain to become a reality as you think. But, as we approach the weekend, I would rather focus on what you do want. Because sometimes, when we try to put out fires or stop them from starting, we forget what it is we were trying to protect and why we learned how to use a hose! With your generosity and faith, you can do more than extinguish threats — you can inspire abundant and vigorous growth.

LEO July 24 — Aug 23

FOR my son, anything that happened in the past is ‘yesterday’. Similarly, anything in the future is ‘later’. Recently, I’ve been urging you not to worry about tomorrow. Yet, as Mercury returns to spend its final retrograde days in Leo, matters of the past will not escape your attention. It’s still vital to live in the moment, though. That’s true, whether you’re paralysed by a fear of the future or adrift in a sea of regrets. We can’t control the passage of time. But its hold over you isn’t as strong as you think. September is the month you’ve been waiting for. Get the good news in your NEW fourminute forecast. Call 0906 751 5605.

VIRGO Aug 24 — Sep 23

THE Roman god, Mercury, was a messenger with wings on his sandals. And the planet is quick on its heels too. Faster than any other, Mercury usually zips through the zodiac at a breathless pace. But as it leaves your sign in reverse today, it will soon slow, stop, and come back home. You’ve been handed an exceptional opportunity to return to a previous decision and make it right. Put aside recent troubles. They will prove to be short-lived, instead enjoy this glorious chance to start afresh.

There’s lots to tell you about September — and you’re going to like it. Call your NEW, inspiration-packed forecast: 0906 751 5606.

LIBRA Sep 24 — Oct 23

THE topic of Guardian angels incites strong opinions. For some people, their presence is incontestable fact. For others, they’re a complete fabrication. Some people even feel angry about them: ‘If I’ve got a guardian angel, why am I still struggling?’ Because angels don’t deal in our currency. They know material things have no real value. It’s love, generosity, support and kindness that we should seek, and that they seek on our behalf. Yours is about to be particularly successful.

Even if you don’t usually call your in-depth forecast, you should hear the excellent news for September. Call 0906 751 5607.

SCORPIO Oct 24 — Nov 22

I’VE BEEN suggesting for a while that you’re about to have an amazing idea. Perhaps you’ve already had it. But, before you start to worry that you’ve missed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to revitalise a key area of your life, let me reassure you. Has there been anything you’ve been weighing up recently? Perhaps you’ve decided that something’s too fantastical and you’ve set it aside? It’s worth re-evaluating something you’ve ruled out. You’ll be astounded by what’s possible now.

SAGITTARIUS Nov 23 — Dec 21

‘HERE’S a little song I wrote, you might want to sing it note for note . . . don’t worry, be happy . . .’ Bobby McFerrin’s song espouses a simple yet great philosophy. No matter what your hardships, worrying about trouble will make it double. There’s a difference between searching for a solution, and causing yourself stress by worrying about something that you can’t change. Today, you’d do well to adopt this philosophy. Focus on the good, there’s a lot of it in your life.

CAPRICORN Dec 22 — Jan 20

THERE’S no proof that guardian angels exist. If there were, imagine the headlines. And imagine how we might change our thinking, and the world with it. But without hard evidence, it all comes down to a matter of belief. Those who don’t believe in their existence are happy to pour scorn on the whole idea. For those who have faith, they must continually justify why. Either way, it seems like a guardian angel is watching over you today. Enjoy this feeling of being blessed, whatever its origins.

AQUARIUS Jan 21 — Feb 19

MARS is moving into a harmonious angle with your ruler . . . and it aligns with Mercury this weekend. In this position, it acts like a dispenser of the most stimulating pep pills ever devised. But who will benefit from the extra energy? Is a companion or a colleague fizzing about the place? Bouncing off the walls? One thing’s for certain: you’re the one suffering the side-effects. Your annoyance is fair enough. But be assured, this friction will move things forward, forcing a turn for the better. September is the month you’ve been waiting for.

PISCES Feb 20 — Mar 20

WE’VE talked about the advantages of adopting a more diplomatic and sensitive approach. But you still feel you’re walking through a psychological minefield. With each tentative step forward, you fear something will blow up in front of you, wreaking chaos that will add to your problems. Every route seems fraught with risk. No wonder you’re anxious. I’m here to tell you that the road ahead is much safer than you think. There’s no need to tiptoe. You can stand tall, and walk ahead with confidence.
