OSCAR CAINER

TOMORROW, the Sun will make a ‘square’ alignment to Saturn. It’s not particular­ly unusual; we get two every year. Does that make it boring, run-of-the-mill, and ordinary? No! In fact, despite the sound of its name, a ‘square’ between two planets can be ac

ARIES Mar 21 — Apr 20

MY cat and I bonded instantly. While the other kittens ran off, he sat on my knee and purred. Six months later, what began as a cute connection has graduated into fullblown feline stalking. Not two minutes pass without a series of miaows or a furry presence around my shoulders. Why do I mention this? We talked yesterday about not underestim­ating your powers of persuasion. This is especially relevant when combined with your powers of attraction. Today, be sure that whatever you start with, you’re ready to stick with. The Equinox is near!

TAURUS Apr 21 — May 21

THEY say: ‘The darkest hour is just before the dawn.’ When we think about the turning of the Earth and the rising of the Sun, we understand this. But why does that principle tend to apply in every way? Because we don’t put things right until they’re going really wrong. We ignore small problems until they grow. We don’t kick bad habits until we see they’re doing us harm. As Mercury links to Mars, if there’s something you can take care of that seems like a minor distractio­n, that’s all the more reason to tackle it now! The Equinox is near!

GEMINI May 22 — June 22

YESTERDAY we talked about wisdom. But what’s the point of being wise? Are we supposed to go through life like vacuum cleaners, sucking up knowledge to be stored in a bag and then disposed of? While I’d encourage the extraction and retention of this precious resource, storage is another matter. What benefit is there if it’s never acted upon, or shared with those who would benefit from it? How can you be someone’s guiding light? Today, you can help alleviate a problem with just a drop of the knowledge in your vast reservoir. The Equinox is near!

CANCER June 23 — July 23

ARTISTS often feel a sense of apprehensi­on when staring at a blank canvas. The moment they commit to a shape, the challenge changes and they’re building on a firm idea rather than hovering around the edges of a vague possibilit­y. Not that I’m saying you’ve got an empty page to fill. But, now the Moon has opposed Mars as Mercury made a tricky alignment, a similar sense of uncertaint­y will surround your next move. Just make one anyway! The Equinox is near! Your light-shedding, hope-giving, heartwarmi­ng, worry-quashing four-minute forecast is ready. Call 0906 751 5604.

LEO July 24 — Aug 23

BEFORE I became a parent, I didn’t realise just how apparent some personalit­y traits are from the beginning. As an astrologer, one would think I’d be prepared for this. But while I was ready for many of the ‘Leo rising’ traits my son now shows, I wasn’t expecting them so early! Yesterday, I urged you to think about who you ‘aren’t’ to remind yourself of who you actually are. It’s important today because there are parts of your personalit­y that remain integral to your being. Be proud of them. The Equinox is near!

VIRGO Aug 24 — Sep 23

AS Mercury makes a tricky angle with Mars, I have to ask whether you want to be successful or heroic? Though we tend to associate these two ideas, they’re not necessaril­y synonymous. Successful people aren’t always applauded. Sometimes, the true definition of success is a project that’s been implemente­d quietly, behind the scenes, in such a way that it looks as if someone else has been responsibl­e. Such plans require genius and humility. Your ruler’s coming conjunctio­n with Venus ensures you have both. The Equinox is near!

LIBRA Sep 24 — Oct 23

IT’S never nice to feel that someone’s keeping secrets from you. Especially when you’re in some sort of partnershi­p. Suspicion, while sometimes necessary, isn’t a nice way to feel, or pleasant to have as part of one’s nature. It doesn’t make us feel good. Often, if it’s confirmed, it leads to betrayal. And it’s usually accompanie­d by regret and remorse. Don’t be too quick to doubt the intentions of others today. The ‘benefit of the doubt’ is a powerful gift. Though you may not know all the motives, someone’s plans could well be pure. The Equinox is near! Your light-shedding, hopegiving, heart-warming, worry-quashing fourminute forecast is ready. Call 0906 751 5607.

SCORPIO Oct 24 — Nov 22

EARLIER this week, Mercury moved into Aries and made a creative angle with Pluto, your modern ruler. It brought a cosmic boost to your power and influence. Now, as it links to your traditiona­l ruler Mars, you’re full of fire. You can make people sit up and take notice. You’re in an exceptiona­lly powerful position. You can act with the restraint and discretion appropriat­e for a person of great strength. And, though you may think you’re not being heard, your words and deeds are having a significan­t impact. The Equinox is near! Your light-shedding, hopegiving, heart-warming, worry-quashing fourminute forecast is ready. Call 0906 751 5608.

SAGITTARIU­S Nov 23 — Dec 21

WHEN I learned to ride a moped, my instructor offered some advice: keep looking in the direction you wish to travel. It may seem obvious but it’s easy to get distracted on the road, by an incident or pretty scenery. We can all drift in the wrong direction if our focus isn’t on the way ahead, even when we’re strolling down the road. There’s nothing wrong with going ‘off-piste’ now and then, but staring too long into a metaphoric­al rear-view mirror may lead to a backwards step. The Equinox is near!

CAPRICORN Dec 22 — Jan 20

CERTAINTY is sexy. We often feel a superficia­l attraction to confident people, even if our interest wanes once we get a close-up of their self-possession. That’s why most leaders keep an air of modesty. They want us to know they have teeth, but they don’t want to be seen snarling. But nor do they show self-doubt. As the Sun soon links to Saturn, your ruler, should you doubt yourself? Not really. You may not be right about everything but you’re more right than wrong — especially with what matters. The Equinox is near! Your light-shedding, hopegiving, heart-warming, worry-quashing fourminute forecast is ready. Call 0906 751 5610.

AQUARIUS Jan 21 — Feb 19

OBLIGATION is a hard word. ‘Oblongatio­n’ isn’t a word at all. But perhaps the two together describe your situation. You have a big sphere of influence in an important social circle. But someone’s pulling you too far in one direction, or restrictin­g your ability to get what you want. Are you being bent out of shape for someone who deserves less of your time and effort? Look at what you’re being asked to do. Don’t sacrifice yourself for anyone, no matter what they, or you, think! The Equinox is near! Your light-shedding, hopegiving, heart-warming, worry-quashing fourminute forecast is ready. Call 0906 751 5611.

PISCES Feb 20 — Mar 20

THIS isn’t a perfect world and it never will be, no matter how many times the Sun passes through your sign. But it’s not such a bad place. And our experience of it varies according to the mood we’re in, or the attitude we take. Now, I’m really not saying: ‘Imagine everything is fine and it will be fine.’ That’s a justificat­ion for living in the kind of ignorance that rarely turns out to be blissful. But as the Sun links with Saturn tomorrow, you can look more favourably on something you’ve previously felt inclined to resent. The Equinox is near! Your light-shedding, hopegiving, heart-warming, worry-quashing fourminute forecast is ready. Call 0906 751 5612.
