OSCAR CAINER

Hi Oscar, My friend and I are both single, fortysomething Sagittarians. She believes that everyone is destined to meet ‘the one’. I think that some of us are ‘gifted to the world’ to remain unattached, but bring love to those in need — which can be just as gratifying. Am I over-thinking it? Sharonda

Hi Sharonda, Yours is a profound and wise way of viewing life, but remember: while not everyone meets ‘the one’, you’re still entitled to meet ‘a one’ — or even two! Oscar ARIES ALTHOUGH some of Mar 21 — Apr 20 the challenges you face seem intractable, you have the solution to one of them.

Keep moving forward, and if you use your persuasive skills, you’ll bring other people with you. They might even have ideas that will help. Just don’t lose focus — and keep your eyes on the prize.

TAURUS MAHATMA GANDHI Apr 21 — May 21 once said: ‘When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love has always won. There have been tyrants and murderers, and for a time they can seem invincible. But in the end, they always fall.’ No matter the odds, truth will always triumph. He had a purity that shone through darkness, and he was patient. He didn’t need to win because he knew that, in the end, love prevails. As Mercury and Pluto prepare to conjunct, the secret of your power will be your sincerity. Powerful changes are possible as the planets spin into exciting new celestial positions.

The great ancient Greek philosopher Socrates understood that when he wrote: ‘It was not wisdom that enabled poets to write poetry, but a kind of instinct or inspiration.’ He envisaged them as seers, gifted with abilities beyond their control. Sometimes people are vessels for a message they don’t understand — but that doesn’t make the message unreliable. If you receive mysterious information, accept the insight it brings.

It’s available to the poorest and most powerless, as well as to kings and presidents. Even when you feel trapped by innumerable stresses and strains, you can still show consideration. And don’t forget the one person who requires a dose of your generosity — you! Don’t be hard on yourself. Be tolerant, open and thoughtful. Draw from the great reserves of goodwill in your heart.

You’re caught in a torrential downpour one minute and are basking in sunshine the next. As the clouds part on your horizon, the logic behind a situation that’s been impenetrable will become clear. In your new state of awareness, you’ll be able to see how previous false assumptions have complicated matters. Yet you’re emerging now with renewed patience, for yourself and this situation. There’s still a lot to learn — but isn’t that half the fun? As the planet of power dances across the sky, it brings change and potential for fun! To find out more, call 0906 751 5605. VIRGO WHEN was the last Aug 24 — Sep 23 time you watched anything of meaning on television? No, it’s not a trick question, nor am I trying to suggest you should buck up your ideas. It’s just extraordinary, isn’t it, that even though we live on a most wondrous planet, rather than enjoy its immeasurable beauty, we seem to need to spend time doing mind-numbing things and dumbing down our curiosity? Something enjoyable and ingenious is about to lift you from the couch and take you for a walk down inspiration avenue.

LIBRA THERE are plenty of Sep 24 — Oct 23 ways you can test your brainpower. Pit yourself against the contestants on some of the more highbrow TV quiz shows, for example. See if you can complete a crossword, or time yourself putting together a piece of flat-pack furniture. In the next few days you’ll have a chance to rev up your reasoning powers. They’ll be needed so that you can work your way from a complex problem to a lasting solution. A brainwave can save you effort and bring a meaningful achievement.

If you look closely, you’ve got the subtle glow of experience, knowledge and understanding bestowed by yesterday’s lessons. Every day shapes the person we eventually become. Some days we evolve with leaps, strides and somersaults. On others we inch forward only a little. As we head towards Mercury’s conjunction with Pluto, you can be confident about a transformation. You’ve got the ability and the vision required. Just show it. Powerful changes are possible as the planets spin into exciting new celestial positions. Make the most of them! Call 0906 751 5608. SAGITTARIUS IT CAN be Nov 23 — Dec 21 quite frustrating when you’re held back by a lack of resources. You’re not someone who goes on shopping sprees, or lavishes cash on fripperies — or are you? Well, most of the time you buy the necessities. Yet no matter how thrifty we aspire to be, or how good we are at striking bargains, there’s no magic wand to wave to conjure everything we need. We must use ingenuity to get things out of reach. You have an inventive mind. And all that brainpower comes for free.

CAPRICORN MERCURY is Dec 22 — Jan 20 making his annual pass through your sign. And tomorrow he converges in Capricorn with Pluto, as he’s done every year since 2008 and will continue to do until 2023. So while this experience won’t necessarily feel old hat for you, it shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise. You’re more than halfway through a profound transformation. There are revelations in store and depths to plumb as you uncover your true capabilities. Don’t underestimate the power of your discoveries.

It turns back on itself like a meandering river. But like a river creating an oxbow lake, sometimes we discover a way to burst our banks and find a more streamlined journey. That doesn’t mean that the old way will dry up. There’ll be a time when both courses are viable. But progress tends to march in one direction. If you’re exploring a brilliant new route, try not to cut other people off or set them adrift. Help them to see the power of letting go.

PISCES THEY say ‘it’s not Feb 20 — Mar 20 what you know, but who you know’, so even the most sensitive, intelligent and wisest words in the world will be fruitless unless they’re spoken to the right person. Whether it’s strengthening existing bonds or forging new ones, the connections you make as Mercury and Pluto prepare to converge will have a profound impact on the rest of your life. Put your best foot forward and place your fears to the back of your mind. A complex relationship can prove transformative.
