OSCAR CAINER

Hi, Oscar, Can you explain what the astrological houses are for? Duncan (Gemini) Hi, Duncan, Astrology focuses on the planet (what’s happening), the sign (how it’s happening) and the house (where it occurs). The houses are created by dividing the sky int

ARIES Mar 21 — Apr 20

YESTERDAY, Venus (planet of love and money), converged with Jupiter (growth and wealth), in the part of the sky associated with your financial management, so we talked about emotional investments. But two plus two rarely equals four in astrology — it’s never that simple. So I’m interpreting this moment as one where the cosmos urges you to have faith in something (or someone), despite their unknown quantities. It’s up to you to learn more. Your in-depth forecast lasts four minutes. It could be one of the most rewarding calls you make. Call 0906 751 5601.

TAURUS Apr 21 — May 21

SOME folk never feel the need to flaunt themselves at the expense of others. They’re confident in their abilities, so don’t seek approval. It’s the people who spend their time patronisingly correcting us who should arouse our suspicions. Don’t be too impressed or intimidated today — anyone who seeks to build themselves up by putting others down isn’t worth wasting time over. Look out for people who encourage others without sacrificing their own sense of self-worth. They will offer you help today.

GEMINI May 22 — June 22

A WELL-HONED plan is like a good insurance policy: it protects you against potential risk, and it’s always worth having one — after all, there are always unforeseeable incidents waiting round the corner. But whenever we plan a project, we focus on reducing the number of things that can go wrong rather than factoring in potential strokes of luck. We hope for the best, but plan for the worst. If you start hoping, as well as planning today, your plans could go awry in a delightful way.

CANCER June 23 — July 23

ACCORDING to the Chinese system of feng shui, rearranging your belongings not only makes your home feel different, it fundamentally reorders your life. It all has to do with the flow of positive and negative energy. By placing selected objects in certain places, you can accentuate feelings of wealth, love and happiness. And putting the TV in the wrong room or a sofa at a displeasing angle can cause unrest. Just moving a table might not solve your current problem. But the solution is under your nose! Your in-depth forecast lasts four minutes. It could be one of the most rewarding calls you make. Call 0906 751 5604.

LEO July 24 — Aug 23

ACCORDING to the old saying, you should never look a gift horse in the mouth. The appropriate action would be to thank the horse and allow it to continue on its way. It would certainly be terribly ill-mannered to take a look in that horse’s mouth or question the value of the gift. But suppose you want to say ‘thank you, but...’ and decline the offering? Do you need to accept a gift you don’t need? You don’t have to accept whatever’s being offered to you today. A ‘no thank you’ will do just fine.

VIRGO Aug 24 — Sep 23

LIFE’S too short for us to spend time doing things we don’t like doing. So why then are our days filled with doing things that we ‘have’ to do? And by whose judgment do we define life’s shortness? Actually, our time here on Earth is too short to take advice from anyone who’s judging our actions and decisions. And life is too short, too, to take anything too earnestly. If you can free yourself from someone else’s ideas of what you should be doing, your time today can be well spent.

LIBRA Sep 24 — Oct 23

IT’S easy to turn a small matter into something critical or trivialise a situation that deserves more of our attention. What really counts is just doing ‘enough’ to make a difference. It involves the art of finding a balance between doing too much and too little — and finding the critical point of equilibrium takes practice. The first indication that you’ve found it is when things start to go well. It might well be that your current dilemma will take less energy to solve than you think. Go gently today.

SCORPIO Oct 24 — Nov 22

YESTERDAY, Venus’s kindness converged with Jupiter’s generosity for the first time in your sign for 11 years. We call folk with these characteristics ‘big-hearted’. But since cardiologists consider an enlarged heart to be a worrying condition, does the cosmic climate represent a threat to your psychological health? Will being big-hearted leave you vulnerable? With your ruler also linked to Saturn, you’re anything but a soft target. No one’s invulnerable, but you can now love with confidence.

JUST because we can’t see the threads that bind us to the people we love, we function as though we are all unique. But imagine if those threads bound us with complete strangers, too. Suppose nothing happens in isolation and that everything we do has an effect on the world. Following your ruler’s link to Venus, you can pull on some of the strings with ease. If you just trust in their existence, there are fascinating connections just waiting to be discovered, explored and enjoyed.

CAPRICORN Dec 22 — Jan 20

WE’RE advised not to worry about what other people think of us, but it’s easy advice to give when being thought of as ‘different’ involves an element of risk. And in this competitive, fast-paced world, it can be much easier to navigate a stressfree path if you have friends by your side and an ability to garner enthusiasm rather than antagonism. If a potential problem presents itself today, it would be wiser to resist being drawn into the debate. Your kindness will be the most helpful attribute you can offer. Your in-depth forecast lasts four minutes. It could be one of the most rewarding calls you make. Call 0906 751 5610.

AQUARIUS Jan 21 — Feb 19

‘JUST a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down’ is a line from a Mary Poppins song. It’s a catchy lyric, but it holds little intellectual weight. I doubt many people have studied the words and agonised over their meaning. I even thought twice about using them in your forecast in case you thought I might be insulting your intelligence. Yet they do underline the point that needs to be expressed. Today, something sweet can overrule your critical faculties — in a most delightful way.

PISCES Feb 20 — Mar 20

YOU’RE known for your sensitivity: what other people shrug off, you take to heart and worry over. You have a keen sense of how others feel about you and want their judgment to be fair. Sometimes the best way to protect yourself from comments is to hide away, but today this is not an option. You need to hear what someone’s thinking and you need to respond. The cosmos is providing you with support, and the respect and understanding you’ll gain make the risk worth taking. Treat yourself to some valuable insight and priceless information today.
