OSCAR CAINER

WHEN I was at school, there was a shift away from exams. Coursework became much more relevant. At least a third of my marks came from the grading of essays and completion of tasks set throughout the academic year. In a similar fashion, the Sun’s link to Saturn today represents the final big test of what began with their conjunction last December. Rather than worry about how we’re going to do, it’s a chance to look back at all we’ve learnt. It will stand us in good stead for an easier time ahead.

ARIES MERCURY is forming Mar 21 — Apr 20 a conjunction with Mars in your solar sixth house, Virgo. so no one can say you’re not busy. I might even suggest you’re too busy. In fact, it’s going to be easy to over-extend yourself. While the breadth of your ambition can’t be faulted, focusing energy on conservation may help rather than hinder. You’re very capable, but you’re not a superhero. Your outlook is good. But, as the Sun links with Saturn, it will be improved by some recuperation. Anxious?

TAURUS WE CAN all grow Apr 21 — May 21 tired of the mysterious ways in which the universe works. Just for once, could a pot of gold simply fall from the sky? Would it be so terrible if your problems simply vanished overnight? But miracles don’t always look like shooting stars. Some are slow burners. Just as it takes time to travel from point A to point B, so it takes time for the universe to send the help we need. In the wake of the grand trine, the changes you’ve been anticipating are on their way. Confused?

GEMINI IMAGINE if your May 22 — June 22 reading for today simply said: ‘Things will happen to you in the future.’ You’d — rightly — feel shortchanged. It’s a feeling you’re experiencing now, as people seem to be queuing up to deprive you of your dues. Though it’s clear you’re not getting your fair share, no one’s doing anything about it. A confrontation would make people retreat further into entrenched positions. But if you keep nudging them, they will put things right. Uncertain?

CANCER HAVE you ever June 23 — July 23 wondered if the universe throws moments of happiness and joy into the world just to spite us? If it were all misery and despair, wouldn’t we eventually become numb to its pain and frustrations? It’s the moments of joy that remind us why we’re here. They help us to survive the pangs of thwarted opportunities and passions, and remind us that there’s more to life than stress and anger. In the aftermath of the grand trine, those moments lengthen into times you can enjoy. Worried?

LEO JENGA is a game July 24 — Aug 23 where you remove wooden blocks from a precarious tower. Towards the end when a block is removed, the tower wobbles, appears to steady, and then the whole thing comes crashing down. A situation in your life feels a bit like a Jenga tower. It’s teetering on the edge of a seismic movement. It feels as if there’s nothing to do but wait and see what occurs. Today, though, even if your position is precarious, you can make a winning move.

VIRGO LIFE is an eternal Aug 24 — Sep 23 knot of strategies, routes and decisions. Every opportunity relies on a series of other possibilities. Aha! If we go this way, with the support of this person, then — providing we resist the urge to turn left rather than right, and as long as we don’t let ourselves be distracted by something else — the solution should be simple. But that doesn’t sound so simple. Truth be told, you’re a bit tied up at the moment. It’s time to extricate yourself from an all-consuming situation. Confused?

LIBRA EMILY DICKINSON Sep 24 — Oct 23 wrote: ‘Hope is the thing with feathers, that perches in the soul.’ I mention this as you may be closing yourself off to an idea that wants to take flight. It makes sense you want to guard against disappointment. But turning away from opportunity won’t improve things. You don’t have to continue feeling stuck in the mud. The weight you’ve been carrying can be shaken off. Today, stretch your wings and see life from a higher, clearer perspective. Uncertain?

SCORPIO MY YOUNG son Oct 24 — Nov 22 wants everything to be fair. If someone has more turns than him on the swing, you can be sure he will notice, and complain loudly. As we mature, we learn justice isn’t quite so easy to uphold. Some people seem to be experts at making things appear fair, even when they’re not. And distrustful folk say things are unfair, when they aren’t. It’s worth looking more closely at something that seems unjust today. If they are, you can make your opinion heard — discreetly. Worried?

SAGITTARIUS I LIKENED Nov 23 — Dec 21 you to an artist yesterday. Tomorrow, I might choose the image of an athlete. What do these vocations have in common? Typically, we view their end product. The time spent nurturing their talents are overlooked. You’re not where you are by accident. You wouldn’t have started down this road if you couldn’t get to the finish. A significant step is now possible. In a subtle way, you’ve become a master. It’s time to move to the next level. Anxious?

CAPRICORN ALMOST Dec 22 — Jan 20 every child’s favourite food is chocolate — they’d eat it all day if they could. But is it mean of parents not to feed it to them morning, noon and night? Of course not. It’s people who give us what we want or tell us what we want to hear that we should be cautious of. Why are they so accommodating? What’s the ulterior motive? Be wary of taking the easy approach. That’s not to say you can’t be diplomatic, but only by sticking to your principles will you reap rewards. Confused?

Others are surprise arrivals or ‘accidents’. But does the cosmos use this as a reason to treat us differently? Of course not. We’re all entitled to love. Every person on the planet is supposed to be here. We’re all eligible for the same amount of heavenly assistance. It’s time to put down the doubts you’re experiencing. So how do you get the help you need to do that? By simply recognising the universe cares about you, and asking for help. Uncertain?
