YOUR STARS

Do ostriches enjoy the opera? Of course not - they’re not songbirds. But I don’t think people should give me funny looks if I take a bee to the ballet. Bees love interpretive dance. Whenever they come across a new field of flowers they fly back to the hive and shake their bee-hinds in a series of moves that communicates the location. As retrograde Mercury links with Jupiter before meeting the Sun this weekend, information arrives in surprising ways. That makes it more worthy of appreciation.

ARIES MAR 21 - APR 20

There are decisions to make this weekend. And Mercury’s link to generous Jupiter suggests you’ve got plenty of choice. You’re free to do as you wish of course... as long as you’re aware of the results your actions might bring about. Just try not to focus on the literal meaning of over-simplified advice that might come your way. Even though others have got your best interests at heart, there’s no guarantee they fully understand all the options available. Be clear, be open-minded, and things will unfold in a positive way.

TAURUS APR 21 - MAY 21

What set your favourite teacher apart? Their enthusiasm? Their sense of fun? Their kindness? Maybe they encouraged you to exercise your creativity, and presented their knowledge in a way that made it relevant and interesting. Perhaps they understood that learning involves giving their students skills they can use beyond the classroom. We need to be able to express ourselves, and paint imaginative pictures rather than paint by numbers. There’s more to be gained by exploring than conforming this weekend.

GEMINI MAY 22 - JUN 22

We fall into habit patterns easily. Then we find them hard to break. That’s why the best way to change outmoded behaviour patterns is to replace them with new, positive ones (rather than just stop). As your ruler links with Jupiter and the Sun (which is entering your sign), it enables you to focus on constructive ways to move forwards. If you’re tired of being stuck in the same old routine, and keen to widen your social group, this is the moment you’ve been waiting for. If you inspire yourself to seek new interests, the rest will follow. Free audio and video forecasts. Go to ozfree.cainer.com.

CANCER JUN 23 - JUL 23

No matter how hard you try to stop it, a conversation’s going round in your head. It’s almost as if you’ve got it recorded on video and keep reviewing it. But are you sure the camera caught all the action? Was the mike sensitive enough to capture all the dialogue? Might you have edited the content so that it misrepresents what actually took place? You’ve already gained valuable insight into this situation. This weekend, your memory becomes clear and you can put what you’ve learned into practice. Then, you can let it go.

LEO JUL 24 - AUG 23

You’re about to be delighted to discover how much you can do without. Before you start to worry, I’m not trying to prepare you for a time of hardship. Quite the opposite. As your ruler, the Sun, moves into a new celestial home this weekend, I’m predicting a lightening of spirit as you realise that you can let go of a heavy load you’re carrying. You feel responsible for something you no longer have to feel responsible for. You’re holding on to something that’s surplus to requirements. Just see how good you feel as you let go.

VIRGO AUG 24 - SEP 23

With your ruler, Mercury, in retrograde, you’re remembering the way things used to be, and speculating about how differently your life could have turned out. It’s not a particularly comfortable feeling - especially when you’re uncertain about an aspect of your current circumstances. A gnawing sense of anxiety’s growing. Yet this has more to do with your mood than with a genuine threat. As Mercury links to Jupiter and the Sun, this weekend will provide you with tangible reassurance that everything’s going to be fine.

LIBRA SEP 24 - OCT 23

I’ve got a theory about school sports days. The three-legged race is not the fun, light-hearted form of amusement it’s marketed as being. Actually, it’s a lesson in the art of good communication; an exercise in collaboration - a tricky lesson we all need to learn. It would be so much easier for you to make progress if you only had your own issues to contend with. This weekend, co-operating with someone else gets easier. Just remember to walk before you start to run. Once you’ve established a good technique, you’ll fly. Free audio and video forecasts. Go to ozfree.cainer.com.

SCORPIO OCT 24 - NOV 22

Things aren’t quite the same as they were yesterday. And by the start of next week, they’ll be different again. I know that might seem obvious, but change can be easy to miss. It’s often the case that things continue to look much the same as they ever were. We age and alter gradually. It’s not always easy to tell, just from observation, how much things have shifted on the inside. This weekend, you face a situation that you used to find easy to deal with. Either it has evolved or you have. Either way, that’s an excellent thing. Free audio and video forecasts. Go to ozfree.cainer.com.

SAGITTARIUS NOV 23 - DEC 21

I need to start off by telling you that writing this is challenging. It’s not easy to tell someone who prides themselves on thinking differently that they need to think differently. Especially when that person is a Sagittarian who dislikes being told what to do. How can I guide you without raising your defences? How can I encourage you to make a change, yet be sensitive to your need to feel as if you’re in control of your own destiny? I suspect you have an idea as to how I could do it. Good. Now take that idea, and use it this weekend. Free audio and video forecasts. Go to ozfree.cainer.com.

CAPRICORN DEC 22 - JAN 20

Despite the fact that so much seems to have gone pear-shaped recently, you might be surprised to learn that you can expect this weekend to be enjoyable. The issue is that you’ve been so focused on sorting out a series of challenges that you haven’t noticed the good things that have also been taking place. These are more important. They’re the reason a problem’s about to sort itself out. As Mercury (communication) links with Jupiter and the Sun, you’ll be able to answer a question in a way that sets you up to move on. Free audio and video forecasts. Go to ozfree.cainer.com.

AQUARIUS JAN 21 - FEB 19

Some people enjoy mysteries. Some don’t. As an innovative Aquarian, you fall into the first category. Even when you feel as if you’re suspended, waiting for the big reveal, you’re quietly confident. Mercury’s links this weekend suggest that a set of bewildering developments are about to slot into place and make sense. A satisfying discovery awaits. It’s the kind of revelation you almost don’t see for its very lack of subtlety. But rather than wanting to kick yourself when you see it, you’ll be pinching yourself instead.

PISCES FEB 20 - MAR 20

Life is going to get easier this weekend. You’ve been dealing with a dramatic situation, which has been playing for so long that you’ve acclimatised to your role. It’s become second nature. But things have already begun to sort themselves out. The change has naturally unfolded. Or someone else has been directing the improvements from the side of the stage. As long as you’re sure that you’ve understood the initial cause of the problem, you’ll be able to ensure that it doesn’t recur. Then you can create a more fun role for yourself.
