OSCAR CAINER

This is because a major adjustment has been taking place. Last week’s Transit of Mercury urged us to consider past errors. As Mercury turns direct today, we can begin to put things right.

WHEN Mercury turns direct, there’s a collective sense of relief as we move on from the tricky path caused by its backward journey. Yet as a reader recently wrote: ‘2019 has felt a bit like one long year of Mercury Retrograde’!

ARIES Mar 21 - Apr 20 PEOPLE use different techniques to justify impulsive behaviour. Phrases such as, ‘if you snooze, you lose’, typify their attitude to anyone who doesn’t do things ‘their’ way. Even though they’re advocating ways to justify over-hasty and under-considered actions, we can’t help but be influenced by them. Perhaps that’s why exhaustion and overwork define our age. Snoozing is not losing. It’s gaining vital rest. As your ruler settles into a new home, you can pace yourself (and feel better for it).

TAURUS Apr 21 - May 21 IN YOUR usual, tolerant way, you’re playing down a situation that’s making you feel anxious. This, in turn, is adding to a growing sense of fear. It’s as if you think that because you’re still worried — even though you’re telling yourself that you shouldn’t be worried — you really do have something to worry about. Although it’s understandable that you have concerns, there’s no point in assuming that the problem is as big as it seems. Today, you can rise above whatever is pulling you down.

GEMINI May 22 - June 22 AS YOUR ruler Mercury turns direct, why don’t we do a quiz instead of having a forecast? Here’s the first question: when is the darkest hour? Here’s the second: what needs acknowledging before you can find a solution to it? And the third: what do you need to hold on to, because it never lets you down? Got the answers? Here they are. A1: Just before the dawn. A2: The problem. A3: Faith in yourself. Remember these and your day will be very bright indeed.

CANCER June 23 - July 23 LIFE is like a seesaw; we’re constantly trying to balance things so they’re positioned in such a way that we’re on an even keel. Yet most of the time we’re dealing with lopsided reality. As a sensitive Cancerian, you’re prone to compensate and adjust to other people’s moods and demands. When someone retreats, you go towards them. When they’re angry, you try to find ways to create calm. As Mercury moves forwards today, you can address an unfair situation with great success.

LEO July 24 - Aug 23 THE myth that men can’t multitask was debunked many years ago. In fact, some studies say that they’re better at it than women! Yet everyone gifted with this skill would admit that some tasks require (and deserve) complete and undivided attention. As Mercury turns direct, it’s worth thinking about what you’re allowing to distract you. Focusing on too much, at any one time, isn’t helping either your head or your heart. It’s time to make up your mind about what’s most important to you.

VIRGO Aug 24 - Sep 23 I’M A big fan of the ‘snooze’ option on my morning alarm. But have you ever hit the button, and then got up, rather than doze, and found yourself irritated as you’re interrupted by the alarm’s beeps? We experience a similar process when we have a fixed goal in our minds. We think we’ve done everything to take care of it; then we realise that we’ve overlooked one little issue. Next, the panic alarm goes off. Mercury, now direct, reminds you that it can be OK to forget to do something. Take full advantage of the inspiring cosmic climate as Mercury changes direction.

LIBRA Sep 24 - Oct 23 PSYCHICS seek moments where the veil between present and future is thin enough for them to peer through. The rest of us need other ways to find solutions to our challenges. This involves standing back, drawing breath and searching for perspective. You’ve been dealing with a perplexing situation. Today, Mercury’s change of signs brings the insight to put down an emotional need which has been influencing your decisions. When you see what you’re looking at, you’ll know what to do.

SCORPIO Oct 24 - Nov 22 IT’S very unsettling when we find ourselves at loggerheads with someone. But at least it makes sense. Things become more complicated when we discover we’re in disagreement with ourselves! Just think of the times when we’re forced to make a difficult choice. Should we do this or that? Sometimes, we’ll never know the best thing to do. Be wary if you come across total conviction in the face of uncertainty today. And if you question assumptions, you can make an exciting discovery.

SAGITTARIUS Nov 23 - Dec 21 THE old debate still continues to rage about the creation of our universe. Could it have happened in six days? Did it start with a ‘Big Bang’? Was anyone around to put our input into the original plans? It seems unlikely that experts were consulted. Market researchers don’t appear to have had a say. Votes weren’t taken. The creative force obviously has no respect for our protocols! So does that give you the right to be spontaneous today? That’s up to you to decide!

CAPRICORN Dec 22 - Jan 20 THOSE in your sign are known for their discriminatory and discretionary powers. You’re aware of what you’re saying and to whom you’re saying it. You’re also careful about what you invest your energy into. You have such a strong, inbuilt understanding of the fact that all that glisters isn’t gold, that it has affected your appreciation of the metal itself. What you’re currently searching for may not be financially costly, but it is elusive. You seek the quality of fairness. If anyone can find it, it’s you.

AQUARIUS Jan 21 - Feb 19 WHEN Fleetwood Mac first recorded Albatross, the record label put its foot down. There was no way it could be released as a single, they said. After all, it’s an instrumental! But the band insisted, the track went to number one, and Fleetwood Mac became international superstars. It was the sheer unusualness of the piece that made it such an unprecedented success. Though someone else has drawn a line in the sand, remember: where there’s a will, there’s a way!

PISCES Feb 20 - Mar 20 HAVE you ever watched a professional discus thrower? They take an impossibly heavy slab of metal, spin it around repeatedly and launch it into the distance like some kind of deadly weapon. Now imagine that you’re watching in slow-mo. They turn once, then twice, then once more . . . Is this really a sport? Then, as if from nowhere, the force and momentum explodes in an extraordinary burst of energy. Don’t worry about repetition today. You’re building up to an important crescendo. Take full advantage of the inspiring cosmic climate as Mercury changes direction. There’s fun in store!
