YOUR STARS

Hi Oscar, I’m a very orderly Sagittarian but since Christmas I’ve felt disorganised, unfocused and messy. At work I’m on top of everything, but at home there are unfinished ‘to do’ piles everywhere. Will this change? Maxine

Hi Maxine, At the December Solstice, Saturn, representing order, effort and efficiency, left Sagittarius and returned home to Capricorn. Its new setting is beneficial for those working hard on their careers. Although some Sagittarians may miss the natural discipline, it’s time to restructure what you have, not who you are. Oscar

ARIES MAR 21 - APR 20

‘Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence’. There was a time when every self-respecting home had a copy of ‘Desiderata’ over the mantelpiece. I’ve put this into your forecast today because of the peaceful quality the words exude. It is a comforting phrase. It helps us to feel at ease; as if we’re being looked after and don’t need to feel as if we have the world on our shoulders. It’s such a good feeling. If you lessen someone’s load today yours will lessen too. The planets are aligning in powerful positions. Maximise their effect. Call 1900 959 005.

LEO JUL 24 - AUG 23

Do you ever surprise yourself by saying something you didn’t think you knew? Or voice an opinion you didn’t know you had? We all say things that appear to come from out of the blue. Yet could this be one of the ways that your subconscious makes itself heard? You’ve made a decision that’s surprised you recently, and you’re starting to regret it. But you were following your intuition. Your courageous heart overcame your powerful mind. Have confidence in your choice. You can trust your heart. The planets are aligning in powerful positions.

SAGITTARIUS NOV 23 - DEC 21

When sad things happen to us we tend to shut them away. But we can’t ever escape from our memories. There are gifts even in the darkest of places. It’s through suffering that compassion and empathy grow. It’s the same with happiness. If you’ve never known joy how can you know to seek after it, or encourage other people to look for it? It’s time for you to find someone in whom you can share your feelings about a recent significant experience. Then you’ll be able to forge ahead again. The planets are aligning in powerful positions.

TAURUS APR 21 - MAY 21

If you were to step back and look at your key relationships you’d notice that some of your friends are rather like you. This is delightful most of the time, but irritating at others. You’ve no one to blame but yourself though! We all choose the people we’re friends with. Families, on the other hand, reflect the best and worst of our characteristics. The challenging scenario you’re facing can’t dictate the way your life will be for long. With forgiveness, you’ll be able to easily extricate yourself. The planets are aligning in powerful positions.

VIRGO AUG 24 - SEP 23

You always want the best for the people you care about. When something really matters to you, you’ll do whatever you can to fight for their cause. That’s why you sometimes invest too much of yourself in other people’s problems. Passion alone isn’t going to create a better scenario now. You need to summon up your sense of perspective. This will give you the clarity you need. When you’ve separated your feelings from your thoughts you can join the two together and make a very good decision.

CAPRICORN DEC 22 - JAN 20

What’s the point in dwelling on the ramifications of a recent event when you keep arriving at different conclusions? What’s more, when you share your thoughts with someone, you end up with even more factors to put into the equation. Your attempts to reach a simple solution don’t appear to be having much success. Things are getting more complicated. So, rather than reaching outwards for help, it’s time to look within. You have an instinct about the best thing to do. The answer is more obvious than you think.

GEMINI MAY 22 - JUN 22

Some people seem to be unaware of subtlety. Signs and signals which seem obvious to everyone else just seem to pass them by. You need to dot the ‘i’s and cross the ‘t’s when you’re explaining a strategy to them, because you can’t afford to take their understanding for granted. Other people are supersensitive and pick up on the merest hint of a signal. If you repeated yourself you risk offending them. Be gentle today. You may find that you need to speak as you’d rather not be spoken to. The planets are aligning in powerful positions. Maximise their effect. Call 1900 959 005.

LIBRA SEP 24 - OCT 23

The distinction between human beings and animals has long been debated. What are the qualities that separate us? Could it be our ability to feel compassion? Is it that we’re capable of believing in a higher power? Or is it that somehow we’re aware of the fact that we have awareness? We can, in theory anyway, be aware enough of ourselves that we can moderate our feelings and change our ideas. We can be objective. Today, if you draw on your wisdom you’ll be guided to make a very good choice. The planets are aligning in powerful positions. Maximise their effect. Call 1900 959 005.

AQUARIUS JAN 21 - FEB 19

Words of wisdom come from surprising places. Some pop classics contain wise lyrics that stand the test of time. Gwen Guthrie’s ‘There ain’t nothin’ goin’ on but the rent’ is more than a reminder of how things can be… it’s many people’s twentyfirst century reality. Surely we’re not meant to spend our whole lives worrying about the state of our bank balance? Even though financial security affects our wellbeing, there’s a more powerful motivational force in the cosmos, and you’re about to feel its influence. The planets are aligning in powerful positions.

CANCER JUN 23 - JUL 23

Since this is your life you’re leading, why do you feel as if it’s out of your control? Why are so many decisions being made on your behalf? Even if it looks as if you’re making the choices, it seems as if you’re being influenced by other people’s fears and concerns. So what’s stopping you from demonstrating your powers? Now, as the Moon becomes the focal point of tomorrow’s Sun-Jupiter opposition, if you can picture a positive resolution to a current drama, it will almost miraculously come true.

SCORPIO OCT 24 - NOV 22

We change our language and our voice patterns depending on who we’re speaking to. But have you ever noticed how it feels as if you have feet in your mouth when you’re talking to someone who you suspect of feeling superior? We tend to express ourselves with lightness and grace when we’re speaking to people who approve of us. The success of a venture depends on being able to communicate with someone who’s nervous of you. If you listen with sensitivity you can reach a place of trust. The planets are aligning in powerful positions. Maximise their effect. Call 1900 959 005.

PISCES FEB 20 - MAR 20

Though the art of compromise sounds easy, we often think of it in a negative way… as if it involves sacrificing something. Feeling as if you need to martyr yourself can never be positive. Neither can being forced to relinquish something you want to hold onto. By nature you’re a generous person; there’s something in the art of sharing that makes you feel complete. But you might be risking too much at the moment. Don’t, under obligation, give up anything that you don’t want to give up. The planets are aligning in powerful positions. Maximise their effect.
