OSCAR CAINER

IN contrast to the sensitivity we talked about yesterday, we’re heading towards one of the more excitable cosmic combinations. This weekend, Mars and Jupiter will converge in Scorpio for the first time since 1982. Although these planets connect every other year, for 35 years they’ve conspired to avoid forming an exact conjunction in the eighth sign of the zodiac. And with Mars’ influence so strong in his own sign, the growth Jupiter inspires might shock us into action. There’s no need to be anxious. It’s just the start of an epic adventure. ARIES Mar 21 — Apr 20

PEOPLE commute to work all over the world, making the same journey to the same place day in, day out. Even folk who don’t have to make such regular journeys to and fro retrace their steps. Psychologically, as well as physically, we seem to find it helpful to go back over the same old ground. So does 2018 bring you a familiar trip around the same block or an adventure into a new experience? As your ruler and Jupiter prepare to meet this weekend, life certainly gets more interesting. You won’t be ready for 2018 until you’ve heard your latest, in-depth, four-minute forecast. For excellent news, call 1550 511 611.

TAURUS Apr 21 — May 21

NOW that you’re getting into the New Year, you’re feeling inspired to make promises, to yourself as well as to others. So what do you really want to change? Perhaps, more importantly, it’s worth thinking about how you define yourself. Are you, like most of us, defining your sense of self based solely on how other people see you? As Uranus begins to move forward, you’re emerging from a place of doubt to one of increased awareness. Get ready to welcome a new, self-confident you. You won’t be ready for 2018 until you’ve heard your latest, in-depth, four-minute forecast. For important news, call 1550 511 611.

GEMINI May 22 — June 22

IT WAS not so long ago that the medical profession advocated smoking as a way of relieving stress. Concepts that seem unthinkable to us were normal not so long ago. Likewise, some of our current lifestyle habits will seem ridiculous in the future. As with social norms, so it is with our own practices: you’re right to think that an old way of thinking is irrelevant and inappropriate. Though it might be tempting to carry on just because you’re used to it, it’s timely and right for a change of plan. You won’t be ready for 2018 until you’ve heard your latest, in-depth, four-minute forecast. For exciting news, call 1550 511 611.

CANCER June 23 — July 23

WITH passionate Mars moving through a part of the sky that governs romance, plus your receptivity being magnified by the recent Super Moon and Venus being encouraged by glamorous Neptune, have you noticed the effect you’re having on the rest of the world? Your relationships are being gilded and guided by a benevolent cosmos. There’s also a chance that you’re feeling the urge to hide away and protect your sensitive soul. But you can be brave, too. There’s a lot to explore. You won’t be ready for 2018 until you’ve heard your latest, in-depth, four-minute forecast. For excellent news, call 1550 511 611.

LEO July 24 — Aug 23

LIKE an oil-rich seam lying undiscovered beneath the ground, you have a vein of undeveloped potential within you. As you move further into 2018, your awareness of your hidden resources will grow so it becomes a source of strength on which you can build. New relationships and arrangements are possible. You’re growing into the person you always thought you could be. The disappointments you’ve experienced will give you the strength to turn struggles into triumphs.

VIRGO Aug 24 — Sep 23

ARE you ready for a lightning bolt? Isn’t it just perfect timing for an unexpected sudden development to throw bright light into a dim and dark situation? Well, I daresay you’re concerned that such an occurrence would create trouble. You’ve had enough of that already and certainly don’t want any more. It’s no wonder you’re suspicious of anything out of the blue. But, even though the change you’re beginning to see might seem less than ideal, it more than merits a chance.

LIBRA Sep 24 — Oct 23

LIFE often feels like a series of confusing scenarios, and we’re often to blame for our confusion. We head off in a particular direction – but end up somewhere else. We announce plans – then do something different. We justify the variations between our ideas and outcomes by describing our actions with complicated explanations. You’ve been feeling pulled in different directions recently. Now that Uranus has changed direction, you’re about to find satisfaction on the road you’re taking. You won’t be ready for 2018 until you’ve heard your latest, in-depth, four-minute forecast. For excellent news, call 1550 511 611.

SCORPIO Oct 24 — Nov 22

LIFE-CHANGING moments can happen in nanoseconds. You can catch someone’s eyes across a crowded room and feel completely understood without needing to explain anything. Conversely, you might spend weeks conversing with someone and never reach an agreement or feel as if your ideas have been heard. Forcing something or someone to change is not where you should be focusing now. If you need to clarify a mix-up, don’t struggle to communicate. Go where you’re understood.

SAGITTARIUS Nov 23 — Dec 21

AQUARIUS Jan 21 — Feb 19

IT’S hard, if not near impossible, to imagine life before the world wide web linked all of our lives together. On one level things have changed almost unimaginably, on another the world is still filled with trauma and inequality. It makes you wonder if we’re any closer to ridding the planet of suffering. Technological changes may help us in our daily lives – but we need changes in our hearts if we want to improve other people’s wellbeing. If you’re ready to begin such a process, you can.

PISCES Feb 20 — Mar 20

MONEY markets rise and fall, and economic waves go in and then back out. There’s a natural rhythm that we’d do well to respect and allow. If at the first sign of trouble we begin to panic, the panic spreads like wildfire, and before you know it there’s a crisis. The coming Mars connection to your ruler Jupiter is placing you in a powerful position. If you can calmly demonstrate your leadership skills, you can catch a wave of positivity and excitement in an area where you’ve felt doubt and anxiety.
