YOUR STARS

Dear Oscar, A while ago I read in my forecast ‘To err is human, to forgive divine’, which was a favourite saying of my long-departed Nan. Just before that, I’d woken from a dream with that phrase in my mind. I think I’ve finally realised that simply saying in my head, ‘I forgive’, brings release. We don’t always recognise how resentment builds up. It’s only taken me 65 years to learn that. Maggie. Dear Maggie, That’s good to hear. Saturn and Neptune’s blossoming relationship is making this process easier and even more worthwhile. Best, Oscar.

ARIES MAR 21 - APR 20

You’ve made a powerful commitment and stated your intentions very clearly. Now, though, you’re a bit concerned that you might be hoisting yourself by your own petard. The doubts are creeping in. Could you have been overly optimistic and too enthusiastic? Could you have made a promise that you’re not going to be able to keep? Before you take yourself off the hook, imagine how life might be if you continue on this particular journey. Just because it’s not easy doesn’t mean that it’s not right. In a week of exceptional cosmic activity, make the most of the excitement. Call 1900 959 005.

LEO JUL 24 - AUG 23

Slow down. Take a deep breath. When you’ve spotted the target you’ll need to stay calm as you line it up between your sights. An opportunity has been obscured by a set of problems, but, if you stay focused, you can see it today. No! Don’t get over excited! But don’t lose your enthusiasm either. It’s only your emotions that could get in the way of you being able to grab this and make it your own. Keep your judgment clear and stay as objective as you can. It’s time to put your sharp mind to good use. In a week of exceptional cosmic activity, make the most of the excitement. Call 1900 959 005.

SAGITTARIUS NOV 23 - DEC 21

Even though you try your hardest, you don’t always do the right thing. You’re fallible – like all the other residents of Planet Earth. Do you ever jump to conclusions? Of course you do. It’s part and parcel of being an enthusiastic Sagittarian. Just because some folk cleverly pretend to be perfect doesn’t mean that they are. You’re one of the brave ones who can put their hand up and admit to a mistake. Today though, you really do know something so important that you must insist on being heard. You are right. In a week of exceptional cosmic activity, make the most of the excitement. Call 1900 959 005.

TAURUS APR 21 - MAY 21

The world is full of questions, yet we have so few answers. No wonder we try to adapt and apply the answers we do know to the questions we don’t have responses to! We have to work with what we’ve got. Yet it tends to make things even more confusing. If you’re faced with a question you don’t know how to answer, rather than trying to find one that will do, it’s better to leave it hanging. An inadequate solution is easier to live with than an unsatisfactory plan that will create even more problems. In a week of exceptional cosmic activity, maximise the potential delight. Call 1900 959 005.

VIRGO AUG 24 - SEP 23

If you suspect that destiny is hanging around, waiting for an opportunity to welcome you into its arms, you’d be right! So why hold back from this cosmic embrace? Are you concerned that things are never as good as they look, and that there might be a trick or two up its sleeve? Would it feel safer if you were to turn a corner, and avoid meeting with it altogether? Destiny is hard to fool. When you’re in its sights – there’s not much you can do about it. So, be reassured. It has your best interests at heart. In a week of exceptional cosmic activity, maximise the potential delight.

Call 1900 959 005. CAPRICORN DEC 22 - JAN 20

Anyone can make attractive promises that are impossible to keep. Yet the nature of our day-to-day lives is that they are filled with repetition and ways of trying to deal with stress and challenges. We try our hardest to make things enjoyable. No wonder we’re so easily distracted by escapist fantasies, ideas of lottery wins and dream-come-true makeovers. You’re looking for something that will fit your true nature (rather than something artificial). That’s what you’re going to find.

GEMINI MAY 22 - JUN 22

How do you feel when someone suggests that you don’t have your priorities straight? It’s an easy accusation to make because there’s hardly a person on the planet who can say in all honesty that they are prioritising the ‘right’ thing. Yet, we can help other people see that they’re making a mistake – and vice versa. This enables us to rethink our plans and possibly change the order that we play our hand. If you alter your approach to a set of ideas you’ll create time to spare. That’s precious.

LIBRA SEP 24 - OCT 23

You share a number of traits with the people who surround you. You all need to sleep, eat, drink and socialise. You need to find time to work and to play. You share a desire to plan for the future and to live an enjoyable life. Like them, you sometimes reflect and find questions to which there are no answers. Sometimes too, you feel afraid. Yet, there are some things about you which make you stand out… qualities that entitle you to good fortune from time to time. Be guided by these today. In a week of exceptional cosmic activity, make the most of the excitement. Call 1900 959 005.

AQUARIUS JAN 21 - FEB 19

We like change to happen at just the right rate. If it’s too slow, we hardly notice it and get bored. If it’s too fast it makes us stressed. Just like we need to turn the tap on the shower to adjust the temperature, we need to regulate the rate of change in our lives. The particularly tense scenario you’ve been dealing with could do with some of the heat being turned down… and you’re the person with the skills and know-how to do it. If you do what you need to do in order to be comfortable, it will be much appreciated. In a week of exceptional cosmic activity, make the most of the excitement. Call 1900 959 00

CANCER JUN 23 - JUL 23

You’ve got something important that needs to be communicated. But, do you need to do more talking, or more listening? Although it’s as if you’re almost burning, with such a need to talk that it’s hard to focus on other things, you can’t just shout it out. The person you need to communicate with needs to be in the right space to hear you. So you need to listen to your quiet inner voice and find a subtle and sensitive way to approach this. Help, in the unexpected form of a third party, could be on hand today. In a week of exceptional cosmic activity, maximise the potential delight. Call 1900 959 005.

SCORPIO OCT 24 - NOV 22

There’s simply no escaping your shadow. It goes with you wherever you go. Unless, of course, you immerse yourself in utter darkness – then you’ll be able to lose sight of where you and your shadow merge. But that’s not going to happen! You like to be in the light, and the stronger the light, the clearer the shadow. You can’t avoid something in your world because you fear that it has a dark side. If you bring it into the light, you’ll realise that it has far less power than when it remains hidden. In a week of exceptional cosmic activity, maximise the potential delight. Call 1900 959 005

PISCES FEB 20 - MAR 20

Did mermaids really ever exist or were they just in the minds of the seafaring folk who saw them? Could they have been some kind of illusion in the mind of the person at the helm, warning them of a catastrophic loss of concentration which could lead them so far off course that they would be lost at sea? You can hear a tempting and enticing call now. As long as you keep your ship on course, stick with your commitments, and honour the key people in your life, there’s no reason not to follow it.
