OSCAR CAINER

FOLLOWING its return home to Scorpio over the weekend, revitalised Mars brings a welcome boost of energy. But there’s no point in having a full tank of fuel if we’re uncertain about where we’re heading and we can’t see the road ahead clearly. With Mercury retrograde, and Venus linking to Neptune, it may feel as if the map is upside down, and our usual landmarks are hidden by a cloaking fog. But there’ll soon be enough light — and heat — to de-mist the windscreen. ARIES WHEN we work Mar 21 — Apr 20 in a team we can accomplish great things. If we go it alone, there’s a limit to how much progress we can make. Teamwork is complicated, though. By necessity, it involves co-operating with others whose ideas and world views differ from ours. When the differences are obvious, they’re straightforward to navigate around. It’s the more subtle distinctions that create tension. Although someone you’re depending on is very similar to you, you can still find a way to work together. NEW! Your four-minute forecast for 2018. It’s going to be a much better year than you think.

If you can find the courage to take a look, you’ll realise the potential that it holds. NEW! Your forecast for 2018 is ready! Just give me four minutes and I’ll give you the keys to a great year.

IN 1963, scientist CANCER June 23 — July 23

Donald Currey was trying to date old trees in Nevada. When he ran into difficulties with specimen WPN-114, he cut it down. Only later did he realise that he’d felled the world’s oldest known living thing — nearly 5,000 years old. Our history is full of tales that reveal that we don’t always value what we have until it has gone. Is what you’re seeking to explore really more attractive than what you already have? You needn’t abandon what you value in order to

pursue your dream. NEW! Your forecast for 2018 is ready! Just give me four minutes and I’ll give you the keys to a great year. Call 0906 751 5604. LEO MOVIE characters July 24 — Aug 23 often claim they ‘don’t get mad’, they ‘get even’.

Although you might be reminded of a difficult relationship, or conflict — this doesn’t have to be bad news, or mean revenge. Following Venus’s link to Neptune, there’s a creative way to look at a past hurt. It’s not easy; it takes courage to look. But if you do, you can heal — and move forward more freely. NEW!

They enthral audiences — almost casting a spell. But words are one thing. Actions are another. And unfulfilled promises seem to be the way of the world at the moment. There comes a time when you need to judge people by what they do rather than what they say. You’re worrying because you can’t find the words to explain something. All you need to do is carry on doing what you’re doing. You’re showing the world how you feel. That’s what counts. NEW! Your forecast for 2018 is ready!

In fact, a physical obstacle is much easier to navigate around than a psychological one.

Or maybe we’d appreciate the value of making mistakes and become a lot less serious. Actually, it might be fun after all!

SAGITTARIUS THERE Nov 23 — Dec 21 isn’t always a clear-cut difference between what’s real and what’s imaginary. What constitutes a problematic situation, as opposed to an issue you really need to sort out? Our mind and moods get so entangled, that it’s hard to read the signs life shows us. We tend to read the signals based on our expectations rather than what’s before our eyes. Although you’re feeling challenged, it’s only because there’s an easier and better way to look at the situation you are in. NEW! Your four-minute forecast for 2018.

Why do you still have to fight for what you want to do and for the recognition you deserve? A degree of opposition is a healthy ingredient in the recipe of life.

At least you’d have your meals prepared for you and all the time in the world to catch up on your favourite films and TV shows. But in your current situation you feel more like an escapee, making your way towards freedom. You’re thinking inventively. You’re adapting to situations which are moving uncomfortably fast.
