ARIES MAR 21 - APR 20

If life is simple, why do we need schools and colleges? If nature knows best, why bother with science and medicine? It’s easy to allocate blame. Targets are easy to find. We make sweeping statements based on wild oversimpli­fications, because we feel better when we think we know what’s going on and why. Yet the truth is that we don’t know much at all. When the Mercury/ Venus link puts you into an ambiguous situation today, don’t try to get out of it by jumping to an easy assumption. Be brave and ask challengin­g questions.

LEO JUL 24 - AUG 23

Why does it sometimes feel like Groundhog Day? That no matter what changes, or how many positive steps forwards we take, we don’t make progress? We seem to be repeating the same gestures and just hitting our heads against a brick wall. We might not even notice this pattern for a while. It takes repetitive disappoint­ment to make us notice there’s a problem. If what you’re doing isn’t working, it’s time to rip up the rulebook. It might not be obvious, but there’s an innovative way to proceed. Look hard and you can find it. Free audio and video forecasts. Go to ozfree.cainer.com.

SAGITTARIU­S NOV 23 - DEC 21

How is it possible to be right and wrong at the same time? Think about the dreadful conflicts we see on our screens. War is wrong. Yet, many of the people going into conflict believe they’re fighting for a just cause. To them, not taking action is inconceiva­ble. They believe they’re risking their lives for a right and fair reason. It’s a huge dilemma, which regrettabl­y we still wrestle with. And sometimes, even though we’re plagued with doubt, we have to commit ourselves to a course of action. You might have to do that today. Free audio and video forecasts. Go to ozfree.cainer.com.

TAURUS APR 21 - MAY 21

We know the words to the most successful charity singles. They’ve gone down in the annals of music history. When a pop star lends their name to a worthy cause, it’s a great way to garner support and raise funds. But there can sometimes be a whiff of self-promotion about these endeavours. If not embarked on in the right way, they risk turning their cause into their own advertisin­g vehicle. And that doesn’t look good or feel right. As your ruler links uncomforta­bly with Mercury, ensure any generous gestures are heartfelt. Free audio and video forecasts. Go to ozfree.cainer.com.

VIRGO AUG 24 - SEP 23

Would you object to being big upped today? Could you sit down and enjoy hearing your praises being sung as your qualities and attributes are acknowledg­ed? Don’t worry, I’m sure anything less-than-perfect would be overlooked. What’s that? You don’t think you deserve to be seen in a positive light? I’m not trying to flatter you, or encourage you to indulge in a moment of self-glorificat­ion. But as your ruler Mercury makes a challengin­g link to Venus, if you experience a misunderst­anding, you need to stand up for yourself. Free audio and video forecasts. Go to ozfree.cainer.com.

CAPRICORN DEC 22 - JAN 20

Do you ever do something and then wonder why you did it? It happens to us all. We try to explain it away. We tell ourselves that we meant to do it. That it was what we planned to do. We don’t want to admit we made a mistake - because that would, we think, make us look weak. Yet, since we all experience such errors of judgment, you’d think we’d be able to get over our embarrassm­ent and be honest about what really happened and how we really feel. You can take steps to make good on a past error of judgment today. Free audio and video forecasts. Go to ozfree.cainer.com.

GEMINI MAY 22 - JUN 22

You sometimes find yourself having an internal argument with an inner persona. You ask yourself a question, and give yourself the answer. Then you respond to what you think you’ve heard. Yet no actual conversati­on has taken place. This might sound slightly ridiculous, but it’s something we all do. It helps us prepare ourselves for real conversati­ons. Today brings an opportunit­y to have an honest, real life dialogue about something you really care about. Just make sure you don’t second-guess what’s being said. Free audio and video forecasts.

LIBRA SEP 24 - OCT 23

Do you need a hug? Don’t panic. Not from me of course. Oops, that doesn’t mean I didn’t want to give you one. Have a hug. Under the influence of Mercury’s tricky link to your ruler, Venus, there’s a possibilit­y of misleading signals today. And you could do with a physical display of affection. Fortunatel­y, as long as you’re aware that signals could easily be misread, there’s a very good chance that you’ll get the support you need. If you’re as clear as you can be, a generous gesture, from a surprising source, is possible. Free audio and video forecasts. Go to ozfree.cainer.com.

AQUARIUS JAN 21 - FEB 19

The comedian Harry Enfield shot to fame playing a character with the catchphras­e “You don’t want to do it like that”. He played on traditiona­l stereotype­s - the kind of people who can’t resist finding faults with everyone else’s decisions; while pretending to give them helpful advice, he would make them look ridiculous. The joke always finished with the victim reacting to his patronisin­g methodolog­y. Under the effect of the tricky Mercury/Venus link, make sure you don’t fall for a similar set up today. Keep your wits about you. Free audio and video forecasts. Go to ozfree.cainer.com.

CANCER JUN 23 - JUL 23

One of the effects of feeling anxious is that we can end up identifyin­g potential problems in simple situations. Opportunit­ies start to look threatenin­g. An invitation turns into an obligation. Since a recent event has made you feel defensive, it’s important to take a moment to remember that you’re a sensitive, yet courageous individual who’s entitled to expect a good outcome to every mission you embark upon. There may be obstacles in your way, but you can rise above them. Don’t worry. You’re definitely on the right track. Free audio and video forecasts. Go to ozfree.cainer.com.

SCORPIO OCT 24 - NOV 22

Many self-help philosophi­es work with the idea that if you can imagine yourself in a situation, it will manifest in your life. Picture yourself owning a house with a swimming pool, and before long you’ll be living in one. In true life, of course, it’s not quite so simple. Yet there’s still an element of truth to this approach. If you focus on how poor you feel, you become more aware of your limitation­s. And less able to see the opportunit­ies. Since generous people always have something to give, be generous (even if you don’t feel it) today. Free audio and video forecasts. Go to ozfree.cainer.com.

PISCES FEB 20 - MAR 20

“We come into this world alone, and we leave it alone.” This saying has been repeated by great thinkers and philosophe­rs over the years. But why? I mean, it’s not completely true is it? For starters, we require at least one other person to make it into this world. And our paths are intertwine­d with other people’s from our first day to our last. You’re perfectly positioned to influence the path a key relationsh­ip takes. Even in this tricky cosmic climate, your will, and your ability to shape and share your future, is greater than you think.

 ?? ?? They say that fantasy rarely lives up to reality. Maybe that’s because when situations are imaginary, we’re in complete control. No one forgets their role or says the wrong thing at the wrong moment. But just because things never quite work out as we’d like, doesn’t mean we should stop trying. As the sun’s link with Pluto forms a minor grand trine with the convergenc­e of Neptune and Mars, it’s important to compare like with like. By all reasonable standards, exciting things can happen today.
