Hi Oscar, My arch-nemesis is my opposite sign, Libra. She’s uses exclusion, sabotage and other tricky tactics to keep her power structures intact. With Jupiter in her sign, should I prepare for a rough ride? Claire Hi Claire, It’s true she’s likely to feel extra-confident and powerful. But I’d prefer to look at how Jupiter in your opposite sign will affect you. It suggests you can become wiser, more philosophi­cal and generous when dealing with others. This could be the moment to change your response to provocatio­n!

ARIES Mar 21 — Apr 20

THE world can seem full of rules that must never be broken. In truth, there are fewer than we think. Recently you may have become almost too willing to accept a restrictio­n. Previous efforts to challenge this have led to frustratio­n. Figuring you may as well cut your coat according to your cloth, you reluctantl­y selected the only pattern that seems viable. But with Mars now in the sign where Pluto has just turned direct, look again at a potential path to success.

TAURUS Apr 21 — May 21

MUST it always be so hard to be heroic? Does the fact that we have principles require them to be tested? And just because we strive so hard to stick to our own, why should it upset us if we see others capitulate under pressure? But perhaps your refusal to compromise, intransige­nce that so often gets you into trouble, is also what you’re admired for? It’s not always easy to do the right thing, but once the dust settles, it’s always rewarding. Take the highest road today.

GEMINI May 22 — June 22

SOME people think we shouldn’t teach history to children . . . that it’s not fair to make them try to understand things that happened before their time. But we can learn so much from what happened before we were born — and from what we’ve been through in our own lives. With Mars in a new sign and Mercury returning to the part of the sky that reveals your past, history holds valuable clues to your future.

CANCER June 23 — July 23

‘WE MUST accept finite disappoint­ment, but never lose infinite hope,’ said the late, great Martin Luther King, Jr. There is a lesson for all of us, whether we are marginalis­ed in a society determined to deny us a voice or paralysed by personal struggles. This quote infers that hope alone is not the answer. It encourages us, when we take a blow, to press on. Defeat shouldn’t mean capitulati­on. Show your steel. With a little polish, it will shine bright in the glint of the sun.

LEO July 24 — Aug 23

WHEN you read a novel, you put part of your life into someone’s hands. The more involved you get, the more disappoint­ed you’ll feel if things work out badly in the story. What if your storytelle­r’s perspectiv­e is pessimisti­c? It will affect you. It’ll affect you more, though, when the story is being told about you by a negative voice in the back of your own mind. What plot is your inner writer shaping? In the wake of the Sun-Jupiter conjunctio­n, you still have the power to change it. We’re in the magical dark of the Moon, for your light-shedding, hopegiving, worry-quashing, LATEST, Moon-sign forecast, call 0906 751 5605.

VIRGO Aug 24 — Sep 23

SOMETIMES we believe because we want to believe, rather than taking a view based on evidence available. This isn’t always a foolish position to take. Often, calculatio­ns only work for logical problems — the world is far from being an A+B=C sort of place. There are usually a few X, Y and Zs hiding nearby, messing with the equation. The cosmos is pushing you to do some ‘creative accounting’. It’s not an invitation to deceive or take shortcuts, but it suggests more will add up than you fear.

LIBRA Sep 24 — Oct 23

THE conjunctio­n of Jupiter and the Sun in your sign recently is an omen. It heralds events to come. While the presence of such a cosmic blessing is uplifting, we’d be wrong to expect dramatic change too soon. We need to look at the coming weeks and months to get the true timescale on what may be possible for you. But don’t doubt the importance of this portent, and, most particular­ly, the ability it has to make you feel more positive in every way.

SCORPIO Oct 24 — Nov 22

‘WANT some whisky in your water? Sugar in your tea? What’s all these crazy questions they’re asking me? This is the craziest party that could be!’ Thus wrote Randy Newman in Mama Told Me Not To Come. No matter what your poison, your life may feel as if it’s ‘under the influence’ at the moment. But it’s unlikely to be the kind of influence that sends you to sleep on the sofa. It’s a stimulant — time to wake up and smell the coffee. Don’t be afraid to join the party!

SAGITTARIU­S Nov 23 — Dec 21

THE potential financial benefits of this week’s Jupiter-Sun conjunctio­n are not the only advantages the cosmos is conferring on you. You can look forward to movement in almost every area of your life, especially those that touch on your sense of justice. And you’re not alone on this. To take advantage of this rare celestial opportunit­y, you may have to combine with your allies. But if you fight the good fight, you will get results.

CAPRICORN Dec 22 — Jan 20

YESTERDAY, we talked of celestial developmen­ts affecting your sign and how they can help you turn things around. Where in your life have you given up hope of progress? Where does it feel you’ve hit a wall...you’ve run as far as you can? They say life is a marathon, not a sprint. Yet there are times when we need to put our pedal to the metal, and catch a slipstream. Now is one of those times. Luckily, the cosmos is painting you with ‘go-faster’ stripes!

AQUARIUS Jan 21 — Feb 19

POLITICIAN­S, even bitterly opposed ones, find themselves obliged to socialise. They rarely spend that time arguing. They tacitly acknowledg­e that they differ, then chat about a point of interest on which they might agree. It’s being civilised. It doesn’t make their beliefs any less impassione­d or wholeheart­ed. Mars and Pluto’s activity, with the Sun-Jupiter conjunctio­n, is requesting such detachment and diplomacy from you now. We’re in the magical dark of the Moon, for your light-shedding, hope-giving, worryquash­ing, LATEST, Moon-sign forecast, call 0906 751 5611.

PISCES Feb 20 — Mar 20

YESTERDAY, I counselled against punishing a perceived transgress­ion. You need not be judge, jury and executione­r. Of course, you’re wise, fair and strong enough to do so. It’s due to these qualities that you can move past vindictive­ness and see certain circumstan­ces need to be considered. The motivation behind someone’s puzzling, even troubling, actions, soon becomes apparent. Until then, the best action is forgivenes­s. Better to lick your wounds than re-open old ones.We’re in the magical dark of the Moon, for your light-shedding, hope-giving, worry-quashing, LATEST, Moonsign forecast, call 0906 751 5612.
