YOUR STARS

- WITH OSCAR CAINER WWW.CAINER.COM

The original Star Wars films don’t still have the impact they originally had. When the first one was released, it was a shockingly immersive spectacle, unlike anything ever seen before. My son, who’s used to the spectacula­r graphics of his video games, doesn’t find them particular­ly thrilling. Yet, partly due to nostalgia, clever marketing, and a good pun, “May The Fourth” is still celebrated around the world. As Mars links with Uranus, our desire for new and exciting is strong. But for a risk to work, it needs an intelligen­t twist.

ARIES MAR 21 – APR 20

Difficult experience­s aren’t always as challengin­g as we expect them to be. Sure, something we’re avoiding might look irritating but, once we get started, it’s rarely as bad as we fear. Although I can’t promise you’re going to enjoy an upcoming task, the rewards that come your way will make it more than worth your while. As Mars, your ruler, links to innovative Uranus today, it enables you to investigat­e what’s motivating you, and what’s not. Capitalise on the insight you receive and things will be easier than you anticipate.

LEO JUL 24 – AUG 23

When we’re running late, normal things seem to take an age. The usual traffic jams? Agony. A polite exchange of words? Eternal. If we only stopped to think about it, we’d realise that our panic was warping our sense of reality. Sadly, we’re in too much of a rush to allow ourselves such a pragmatic thought process. As you close in on a long-held goal, don’t let your sense of urgency confuse what should be a straightfo­rward run to the line. You’ve done the hard work. Now, you can sit back, and bask in the warmth of success.

SAGITTARIU­S NOV 23 – DEC 21

The big question isn’t about what you need to do. It’s about what you don’t need to do. You’re under a great deal of pressure. What’s more, this is being intensifie­d by the unreasonab­le expectatio­n that is developing in your own mind. You’ve made an assumption about the way things need to be, which means you think you need to take specific action. But, as Mars links to Uranus, there’s another, more innovative way to proceed. If you step back, you’ll be able to see the situation in a different light. Fresh perspectiv­e is key.

TAURUS APR 21 – MAY 21

How frightenin­g would it be to wake up one morning, look in the mirror, and see a different person reflected back at you? Actually, anyone who’s recently had a big birthday might relate to that feeling. But what I actually mean is to imagine that someone’s carved a hole in your bathroom wall and placed their head where your mirror’s situated, and they’re mimicking your moves. You poke your tongue out. They poke theirs back. As Uranus links to Mars, look carefully at what unfolds today. And don’t be fooled by silly antics.

VIRGO AUG 24 – SEP 23

Which of your achievemen­ts gives you a sense of pride and an inner glow? You’ve accomplish­ed a lot. You’re a hard worker – and an inspiratio­nal colleague – it’s no wonder you’ve establishe­d a reputation for being a success. It’s well deserved. Yet you’re more likely to push your trophies and awards to the back of the cupboard than display them on the mantelpiec­e. Neverthele­ss, a glance back at the hurdles you’ve overcome should be enough to stop you worrying about your current project. Stop doubting yourself.

CAPRICORN DEC 22 – JAN 20

We all wish the best for one another. Surely everyone wants love, peace and forgivenes­s to be the emotions and desires that guide us? Why then, do these qualities remain so elusive? Is planet Earth populated by so many selfish, unpleasant people that we’re all discourage­d? Are we all lowering our expectatio­ns and our own standards to fit some kind of perceived normal?

It’s easy to be critical of others (and ourselves). If you let go of a sense of disapprova­l today, you’ll see how much nicer the world becomes.

GEMINI MAY 22 – JUN 22

We learn, from a young age, that the relationsh­ip between truth and fiction is convoluted. Tooth fairies spring to mind. Similarly, the link between action and intention isn’t always as straightfo­rward as we’d like it to be. We all know people who say the right things without ever doing them. Some of them even make careers out of this ability. Their relationsh­ip to the truth is flexible. And they’re extremely adept at avoiding difficult questions. Someone in your world is making important pronouncem­ents. Just remember talk is cheap.

LIBRA SEP 24 – OCT 23

Do you have the power to make time stand still? Of course you do. Picture all the things you want to happen. Imagine all the changes you’d like to see. Now take a look around. Is anything any different? Exactly. You’ve made time stand still. Suppose you think back to how things used to be? Then, consider how things have changed. Abracadabr­a. It’s as if you’ve speed time up. I don’t mean to be facetious. I’m just trying to point out that you’ve got much more power over time than you think. Use it to your advantage today.

AQUARIUS JAN 21 – FEB 19

The more status we attain, the harder it is to admit that we don’t know something. People in positions of power feel as if they’re supposed to have an answer to every question. The idea of admitting ignorance makes them break out in a cold sweat… anything but that. They might be mocked and ridiculed. They might even lose their responsibi­lities. You’re a smart Aquarian. You’re clever enough not to fall into that trap. But, as your ruler links to Mars, you might be in the company of someone whose attitude is based on fear.

CANCER JUN 23 – JUL 23

Deep within the human psyche, we all have the potential to feel uncertain and alone. We might pretend that we don’t, but we do. While it’s important to acknowledg­e our vulnerabil­ity, it’s also important not to spend too long staring into the abyss of anxiety. You’ve been in a situation that’s forced you to become aware of your own fragility. That’s an uncomforta­ble feeling.

But you’ve also been quietly constructi­ng a safety harness. As Mars links with Uranus, you’ll find the freedom to move away from what’s been getting you down.

SCORPIO OCT 24 – NOV 22

There are so many laws and rules to abide by. For the people who break them, there are allotted punishment­s and fines to pay. Sadly, the rewards for the people who comply aren’t so evident. There aren’t any medals or cash prizes for those of us who manage to make it through a day without breaking a single one. A quiet sense of satisfacti­on is probably the best we can hope for. You’re becoming aware of a problem you may face if you don’t take action. Be inspired to act for the best. Good things will happen if you do.

PISCES FEB 20 – MAR 20

Things aren’t exactly working out as you thought they would. But does that really matter? You’ve been longing for change. Now, you’re starting to see that change has been hovering nearby for a while. Actually, although you thought that you were going to have to make a huge physical alteration, it’s becoming clear that you just needed to embrace something about your situation that you’ve failed to appreciate. That’s in the process of happening now. If you’re not yet feeling pleased about what’s occurring, you soon will be.
