OSCAR CAINER

Saturn represents fortitude and brings resolution, responsibility and reality. So as Mercury converges with the slow-moving planet, we’d normally expect conviction and convention to be the bywords on everybody’s lips. Yet it’s caught in the middle of ‘reactionary’ uranus action, and Mercury’s approaching retrogradation, so what might be the case today might not be so next week. But if there’s one thing we can rely on, it’s pragmatism. We can take all the time we need to come to the right conclusions.

ARIES Mar 21 — Apr 20

WHY bother committing to anything when you can’t be certain everything that needs to be in place is in place? It does feels as though circumstances are less than ideal at the moment. It would be easy to put everything on hold and wait, but surely that’s just procrastination? If you were to wait for everything to be perfect, you could be waiting for ever. Whenever an opportunity arises, there are always reasons not to take it, so stop hesitating, and make your move. Powerful changes are possible as the planets spin into inspirational new alignments.

TAURUS Apr 21 — May 21

THERE’S something you need to tell someone — but for some reason it seems easier not to say it. You’re caught between thinking someone else is better informed than you and the responsibility of sharing information that might not fit someone’s ideals. Mercury is linked to Saturn and about to turn retrograde. Although communications are becoming more complicated, not saying something that needs to be said won’t help. Speaking from your heart is the best way forward. Major changes are possible as the planets spin into inspirational new alignments. Make the most of it! Call 0906 751 5602.

GEMINI May 22 — June 22

IN THE film An Officer And A Gentleman, Richard Gere is tormented by his army drill instructor. When threatened with being thrown out of the forces he responds ‘I’ve got nowhere else to go!’ It’s hard to see you ever saying such a thing. Geminis usually have several places to be at once. So as Saturn requires commitment to one path, you’re out of your comfort zone. But this isn’t a punishment from a celestial sergeant-major, it’s a chance to work an idea through to its conclusion.

CANCER June 23 — July 23

WE STRUGGLE to put words to our emotions: feelings are felt and by their nature hard to express. No matter how hard we try to rationalise them or tell ourselves we shouldn’t feel them, they have a life of their own and are hard to suppress. If we can allow them the space to exist, knowing they come from the heart rather than the intellect, it allows us room to negotiate. As your ruler links to Mercury and conjuncts Saturn, you can work through it rather than talk yourself out of something.

LEO July 24 — Aug 23

DO YOU prefer ultramarine or azure blue? From interior decorators to renaissance artists, we all have an opinion and might fight hard to champion it. You can almost imagine a debate between Da Vinci and his peers about the merits of one colour over another. But no matter which hue ends up on the canvas or in the kitchen, no single decision is the only ‘right’ one. You’re dealing with a situation that matters more than the colour of your wall. A shade of compromise is possible. Major changes are possible as the planets spin into inspirational new alignments. Make the most of it! Call 0906 751 5605.

VIRGO Aug 24 — Sep 23

THERE’S a difference between being anxious about something and feeling fearful, and you can tell from the response they create. The desire to fight or run is provoked by fear, but anxiety can be useful. It provides us with a chance to reflect and plan a path through challenging situations. We can, though, spend so much time planning for trouble that we end up thinking that success is a remote dream. It’s time to put away feelings of indecisiveness. Don’t be confined by caution today.

LIBRA Sep 24 — Oct 23

IF YOU need to tell someone something that they’re not going to like, it’s often best to sweeten your words by starting with something positive. A compliment can be the route into speaking a difficult truth. Then the person who’s hearing it will find it easier to take the harder facts on board. The information you need to share can be given in a way that enables people to hear it and respond positively. With Mercury’s link to Saturn, you’ll be inspired to find the right words today.

SCORPIO Oct 24 — Nov 22

NO ONE wants to be a part of the problem when they can be a part of the solution, especially when the means to change an unsatisfactory situation are as obvious as the nose on your face. You have a very clear idea that will save time and make lives easier, so rather than believing that it’s someone else’s job to come to the rescue, why not step into your power and lead the way? The cosmos is encouraging you to exert your influence. You can be subtle, yet skilful and effective, too. Major changes are possible as the planets spin into inspirational new alignments.

SAGITTARIUS Nov 23 — Dec 21

PEOPLE talk, wherever they go, explaining this and that to whoever they happen to be chatting with. Yet for all the words spoken, there seems to be little mutual understanding in the world. That’s because we all find it easier to talk than listen. As Mercury links with Saturn in your sign, it brings an opportunity for real communication. Just remember to do the hard part as well as the easy bit. By listening closely, everyone’s understanding will increase.

CAPRICORN Dec 22 — Jan 20

SOME people seem to be naturally confident about the possibility of a miracle occurring. Their confidence is contagious — just talking to them seems to increase the potential of such a possibility happening in your life. Conversely, if you’re talking to someone who has a negative outlook, the doubts and insecurities start to flood into your thinking. Don’t let yourself be talked out of an idea today. Your optimism is precious, and your enthusiasm is well-placed and justified. Major changes are possible as the planets spin into inspirational new alignments. Make the most of it!

AQUARIUS Jan 21 — Feb 19

SHOULD you really be sharing this forecast with all those others who just happen to be Aquarians? You share some character traits with them, but you’re unique. No one is quite like you — you really are an exception to the rule. The dilemma now taking all your attention demands you celebrate your uniqueness, and you know how to do that! But it’s worth bearing in mind that you’re a special part of a greater whole. Some moral support will only add to your success.

PISCES Feb 20 — Mar 20

GOVERNMENTS make laws — it’s one of the main tasks we designate to our elected politicians. But it often seems that if they don’t have any new ones to make, they just take the old ones out and reinvent them! In that way everything keeps on revolving and nothing much seems to happen. And while the machinations of the powerful turn, we just need to keep using our common sense to make sense of it all. Your intuitive powers are strong today. Share your wisdom, and be guided by it.
