OSCAR CAINER

Yesterday, Mars made the last of this year’s series of sharp angles with Neptune. thanks to the apparent backward movement of the planet of dreams through the sky, the tension between our imagination and the reality we’re bound up by has been steadily increasing. Yes, it has been frustrating, but this experience brought an appreciation of the difference between a fantasy and following a viable course of action. as Mars re-enters aquarius, we’ll all get better at making that distinction. ARIES Mar 21 — Apr 20

EXCITEMENT and tension aren’t simple emotions to disentangle; it’s not always easy to know which of them you’re feeling. You’re experiencing a heady mix of emotions because you’ve seen a flaw in the plan you’ve been following. You’ve been trying to convince yourself you can make it work (and find happiness) on a road that’s making you unhappy. As your ruler enters a new sector of the sky, something major is shifting, and a big change is on its way. Chances are, this will make you happy indeed! Powerful changes are possible as planets spin into inspirational new alignments. Make the most of it! Call 0906 751 5601.

TAURUS Apr 21 — May 21

IT’S not easy to remember there are two sides to every story. Nor is there a law that says we need to listen to both. There’s nothing to stop us from taking sides if we want to. We can be biased if we please. We can be narrow-minded and discriminatory, too. When the situation involves someone we care about, we’re almost bound to empathise with their version of events. Yet, as Mars changes signs, it brings the energy to see that something unfair has occurred. It’s within your power to set this right.

GEMINI May 22 — June 22

DO YOU deserve everything you have that you’re proud of? Are you entitled to the friendship and support you feel? Have you committed a ghastly offence, which you’ve hidden in the back of your mind? No! None of us is perfect! We’ve all done things we’re not proud of. We’ve all made mistakes and done things we regret. Your catalogue of errors is minor. So, you can stop judging yourself so sternly. You have such a wonderful opportunity ahead, all you need do is find the confidence to seize it.

CANCER June 23 — July 23

SAVING for a rainy day may be good advice to follow if you can guarantee that the weather is going to remain fair. But if there’s any rain on the horizon, we need to have some kind of protection now! Your longterm investment plans need looking at. Not the financial kind. More, the emotional commitments y you’re making. There’s a chance that you’re compromising yourself, and your happiness, in the hope that you’ll be rewarded at some time in the future. Just don’t make too many sacrifices today. Powerful changes are possible as planets spin into inspirational new alignments. Make the most of it! Call 0906 751 5604.

LEO July 24 — Aug 23

WHEN was the last time you made a decision you then regretted? With the benefit of hindsight, it’s easy to see what we should have done. So, can you now project yourself into the future so that you can help yourself to make the right choice? If we could travel in time, there’s a chance, I suppose, that we’d be able to advise our former selves of the best course of action. Meanwhile, think about all you’re currently dealing with and try to see what feels most relevant. Then put your energy into that.

VIRGO Aug 24 — Sep 23

OUR world is full of grace, wonder and delight. And, of course, it’s also full of turmoil, confusion and disagreement. Yet these all add layers of drama and diversity. Did you say that you’ve had enough drama for a while and that you’re seeking some calm and comfort? As Mars changes signs, although it brings a change of dynamic, you’re still caught in a battle between what you want to do and what life is bringing you. If you stop fighting, you’ll realise that what you need is a fingertip away. Powerful changes are possible as planets spin into inspirational new alignments. Make the most of it! Call 0906 751 5606.

LIBRA Sep 24 — Oct 23

YOU don’t have to be a parent to be aware of the pressures we place on kids to choose their words carefully. Selfcensorship begins early. We have to be polite if we want to integrate into society . . . understand which subjects are unacceptable in which circumstances, and learn to pretend to get on with people we don’t like. Some people don’t heed these rules. Most of us do, most of the time. So how can you tell what someone’s truly feeling? If you watch carefully, you’ll have some clear clues today.

SCORPIO Oct 24 — Nov 22

IF YOU wanted to make a list of what’s wrong with planet Earth, you could start now and still be writing at the end of the next century. You’d need a very long piece of paper and an endless supply of pencils! The fact is, we survive by turning a blind eye to those things we can’t bear to witness. It’s a self-preservation technique, rather than a ‘get out’ clause. Ignorance really can be bliss. As Mars changes signs you’re treading carefully around a difficult issue. Today, let go of any guilt, and carry on steering clear. Powerful changes are possible as planets spin into inspirational new alignments. Make the most of it! Call 0906 751 5608.

SAGITTARIUS Nov 23 — Dec 21

WHEN your schoolteacher gave you homework, it would never have occurred to you to go into their next class saying that, although you’d fully intended to do the work on time, you’d listened to a deeper, intuitive feeling from which you’d understood that somehow, it was better if you didn’t complete the work. No! We’ve all been taught ‘doing’ is praiseworthy and commendable and ‘not doing’ is lazy. Sometimes, though, it’s better to do nothing than do anything. This is such a time. Powerful changes are possible as planets spin into inspirational new alignments. Make the most of it! Call 0906 751 5609.

CAPRICORN Dec 22 — Jan 20

THERE are so many do’s and don’ts to live life by, how are you ever supposed to know what you can and can’t do? In regard to a complex matter, no one seems to have any idea either. When even the people who ‘should know’ are out of their depth, you need to return to the knowledge you have, which you’ve dismissed as ‘not enough’. As Mars changes signs, if you’re brave enough to stick your head up and say what you think, you’ll find your interpretation of what needs to be done is entirely right. Powerful changes are possible as planets spin into inspirational new alignments. Make the most of it! Call 0906 751 5610.

AQUARIUS Jan 21 — Feb 19

HOW can you tell if you’re ready for Mars, the power planet, to move back into your sign? You can’t! You’re entering territory for which it’s impossible to prepare. You’re heading towards a priceless new horizon. Even if you spend the next few weeks feeling doubtful, you can’t deny the fact that you’re on your way towards something new. Intuitively, not only do you recognise this, you know it’s the right way to be heading. So if you carry on trusting, you’ll find reassurance comes along too. Powerful changes are possible as planets spin into inspirational new alignments. Make the most of it! Call 0906 751 5611.

PISCES Feb 20 — Mar 20

ALTHOUGH we cross our fingers and hope for the best, we also (in a place we keep hidden out of sight), prepare for the worst case scenario too. Life has shown us to be careful. We’ve been taught that nothing lasts for ever, and know that things that promise much often end up being disappointing. Thus, holding on to a negative projection is a form of self-protection. Yet the coat that protects us from the cold stops us feeling the warmth of the sun’s rays. Don’t let negativity rule your day today.
