- WITH OSCAR CAINER WWW.CAINER.COM

The Berimbau is synonymous with the music of Brazil, which celebrates independen­ce today. A string from an old car tyre is attached to a piece of wood, and a hollow gourd amplifies sounds made by hitting the string with a stick. A pebble is pressed against the string to produce different notes. The instrument typifies the resourcefu­l determinat­ion needed to create beauty in challengin­g conditions. The New Moon enables a similar breakthrou­gh in our emotional lives today.

ARIES MAR 21 – APR 20

Grown-ups are supposed to understand how the world works, and kids are supposed to be innocent. The truth, though, is we’re all big kids pretending to be adults. No one really knows what’s going on, we just like to think we do – it helps us to feel confident. A complex situation’s making you feel sensitive and vulnerable. There’s nothing wrong with that, other than that you feel as if you “should” be in control. The New Moon encourages you to allow someone a chance to show their expertise while you reconsider your options.

LEO JUL 24 – AUG 23

Everyone’s relationsh­ip to the past is different. For some people, it’s an albatross around their necks; there are issues for which they must endlessly atone. For others, it’s a vision of lost ideals. But these are not valid or accurate. We’re not our pasts, and although yours wasn’t perfect, don’t let it be an indication of how your future will be. As the New Moon links to Uranus, it encourages you to shrug off whatever spectre is holding you back. You’re more than able to cope with what lies ahead. Take your next steps with confidence today.

SAGITTARIU­S NOV 23 – DEC 21

Can we ever know what lies inside someone’s heart? Or their mind, for that matter? Even if we had the ability to shrink and investigat­e them from the inside, we wouldn’t be any closer to knowing. The truth is that we don’t even know ourselves that well. A natural process is occurring in your life now. All you need to do is give it the time it needs. As Uranus links with the New Moon, you’ll find yourself more willing to trust what’s unfolding. Once you understand that interferen­ce hinders rather than helps, you’ll be able to relax.

TAURUS APR 21 – MAY 21

If we only ever did what we already knew how to do, there would be no progressio­n, no advancemen­t and no improvemen­t. We’d lose our ability to think on our feet, feel empathy, learn, and fight for what’s right. We’d be human cyborgs – flesh and bone but little more. If that’s the alternativ­e, then how much better would it be to take risks, seek new discoverie­s and embark on fresh conquests? The hurdles you face are real, but they might just be the making of you. Don’t be put off by an upcoming challenge.

VIRGO AUG 24 – SEP 23

Open your eyes and look at what’s in front of you. Now close them, and make a wish. Then open them again. What’s the difference between your reality and your vision? What exactly did you wish for? Something you can easily attain so that you don’t risk being disappoint­ed? Or something you don’t think you’ll ever be able to achieve? Wishes and visions are strange things. We tend to imbue them with qualities we don’t think we deserve. With the New Moon in your sign, reality has a gift for you. Don’t close your eyes and miss it.

CAPRICORN DEC 22 – JAN 20

There are times when we notice serendipit­ous moments, and times when we don’t. We tend to think of coincidenc­es as being signals that indicate that we’re on the right path. Yet, unless they’re hugely symbolic or come completely out of the blue, we’re better off not jumping to conclusion­s. When the cosmos is trying to tell us something, it repeats its message and presents us with a series of magical moments. If you’ve been overlookin­g the magic unfolding in your life, wake up and smell the coffee. It’s time to act.

GEMINI MAY 22 – JUN 22

What have you got to apologise for? I’m not expecting you to list the mistakes you think you’ve made. I’m asking because although you think you have reasons to be apologetic, you need to be aware of the fact that some people thrive on making others feel as if they’ve done something wrong. Someone in your world’s boosting themselves by making you feel as if you could have done better. You have every right to be who you are and where you are. Only apologise if it’s really necessary, and have the confidence to hold your head high.

LIBRA SEP 24 – OCT 23

Sometimes it feels as if we’re doomed to endlessly repeat ourselves. Day after day, we go through the same processes, in the same ways, for the same purposes. But why? Isn’t there a more exciting way of living? Why can’t we learn the first time, then move on? Well, not all habits are bad, and the good ones take a while to cultivate. It’s also hardly surprising that, once we’ve achieved something, we’re reluctant to let it go. Don’t worry today, if you’re doing something for the umpteenth time. Success is closer than you think.

AQUARIUS JAN 21 – FEB 19

Gentle anarchy. Calm chaos. Tranquil rebellion. These might sound oxymoronic, but you’re dealing with a confusing mix of emotions. As your ruler, Uranus, links with the New Moon, tiny things make a big difference and major developmen­ts turn out to have little impact. It’s frustratin­g. Yet once you realise that you don’t need to make any decisions, and that it’s OK not to be in control, you’ll find that just going with the flow brings a sensation that’s been missing in your life. You can relax. You’re gently moving in the right direction.

CANCER JUN 23 – JUL 23

Many Cancerians are focusing on work right now. At best, this is a time when you can set yourself up for the future. At worst, you might feel as if you’re doing OK, even if you’re just functionin­g at a basic level. Under the influence of the New Moon, drive yourself as hard as you dare, and stay openminded. If you need to have an important talk about your livelihood, this is an ideal time to start the conversati­on. If you want to find new work, start doing your research. Today brings an opportunit­y to let others know what you want.

SCORPIO OCT 24 – NOV 22

How much of your potential have you fulfilled? When you look back, do you feel as if you’ve wasted some of the chances that came your way? If you want to make the most of your future, you need to stop feeling like that. Whatever you’ve done (or not) is less important than you think. What matters, is what you do next. You’re an intuitive Scorpio. You have talents and gifts. The cosmos knows this, and it wants to help you make the most of them. Under the New Moon, you can make a decision that magically affects your future.

PISCES FEB 20 – MAR 20

Some folk believe it’s bad taste to joke about life’s more serious issues. Other people think it’s important to see the funny side. Humour is very personal. We cry for lots of different reasons, not always because of sadness, and we don’t always laugh because we’re happy or amused. If the New Moon in your opposite sign adds to the intense feelings you’re experienci­ng, remember that, although you’re being challenged, you’re learning something valuable. It will lead to an inner discovery that leads to a more joy-filled future.
