OSCAR CAINER

I DON’T often feel bored – life is far too busy for that. But I remember the feeling from childhood and I see it in my young son now and then. Typically, it involves an excess of energy with no idea how to spend it. Today, a slightly indecisive retrograde Mercury is being fired up by passionate Mars. This doesn’t necessarily have to result in frustration and dead ends, though. It brings a subtle hint to take another look at anything that we think we’ve grown out of. There’s still something exciting to be discovered. ARIES IT’S NOT always as Mar 21 — Apr 20 easy as we think to distinguish our friends from our foes. They sometimes hang out in the same gyms or cafés; they even live in the same houses. Sometimes, they even share the same body... which makes it tricky! You might be finding it hard to tell whether someone is helping you or undermining you. As we move towards the Supermoon Equinox, although this uncertainty is making you feel uneasy, it’s ultimately doing you a favour. Greater understanding will empower you. The Supermoon Equinox charges the sky with astrological promise. For an inspiring guide to your week, call 1550 511 611. TAURUS WHO’S peeping Apr 21 — May 21 over your shoulder? Or towering threateningly over you? And are you certain that it’s a person at all? Could it be an old memory? Or a long-held fear? Whichever it is, this feeling is coming from the past. So how can you get rid of it? Begin by considering just how genuine, tangible and valid it is. When you’ve assured yourself that the subject of your worries is a ghostly vestige, rather than a concrete problem, you can fix your sights firmly, and exclusively, on what lies ahead. The Supermoon Equinox brings inspiration and hope for the future. For your four-minute guide to the week, call 1550 511 611. GEMINI SOME people May 22 — June 22 don’t care for music. Others have no eye for colour. What makes a critical difference to your life will have little or no effect on someone else. This is worth bearing in mind if you want to avoid an area of conflict today. Someone’s idea of what’s right or wrong, tasteful or not, is influencing their response to a situation you face together. You need them to realise that their preferences are theirs, and to allow you the space to express yours. Then you can find a compromise that suits you both. The Supermoon Equinox charges the sky with astrological promise. For an inspiring guide to your week, call 1550 511 611. CANCER THERE’S no law June 23 — July 23 that says everyone has to own a computer; but it’s rare to find a home without one. In most houses, there’s a selection of lights from flickering and dancing screens. Anyone who resists this modern habit is considered reclusive and strange. But even if most of us subscribe to the god of technology, there’s no reason for us to consume all of its output. The same goes for the millions of thoughts that whizz through your brain. Try not to give a dubious idea too much credence today. The Supermoon Equinox brings inspiration and hope for the future. For your four-minute guide to the week, call 1550 511 611. LEO EVEN though you find July 24 — Aug 23 yourself facing a tricky challenge today, you’ll find it much easier to sort it out if you can access the sunnier part of yourself. You have unique and powerful resources to draw on. As we approach the powerful Supermoon Equinox, you’ll reach a much more satisfying conclusion if you can let go of the serious mood you find yourself in and allow your sense of humour the space to express itself. Be bright and be cheery. A sunny approach has the power to dispel any shadows today. The Supermoon Equinox charges the sky with astrological promise. For an inspiring guide to your week, call 1550 511 611. VIRGO IT’S HARD not to be Aug 24 — Sep 23 susceptible to those buy-one-get-one-free promotions; we seem to be easily enticed by special deals. Perhaps it’s because of an inbuilt belief that there ought to be a way for us to get what we want when we want it. That’s why we tend to seize on a ‘bargain’, even though it’s a substitute for satisfaction. As we approach the Supermoon Equinox, you’re being offered the chance to take advantage of a perfect opportunity. It might not be the fast route to where you want to go. But it’s the right one. The Supermoon Equinox brings inspiration and hope for the future. For your four-minute guide to the week, call 1550 511 611. LIBRA LET’S imagine that Sep 24 — Oct 23 you’ve just arrived home with your weekly shopping. You unpack all the bags and realise that you’ve enjoyed the process so much that you’re going to go straight back out to the shops and do it all over again. That’s a ludicrous idea, of course. Just because it was fun, there’s absolutely no point in repeating the activity. Although you feel as if there’s something hanging over you that still needs to be done, you’ve done enough. It’s time to take a break and relax. The Supermoon Equinox charges the sky with astrological promise. For an inspiring guide to your week, call 1550 511 611. SCORPIO IT’S TIME to start Oct 24 — Nov 22 talking... and you’d better not stop until understanding has been reached. Or, if this doesn’t seem possible, at least until you’ve reconciled yourself to being OK in a state of uncertainty. An agreement to live and let live can be reached. Though you might feel as if you’re not being heard, you are. Someone is paying close attention. They’re convinced by your arguments, and persuaded by your explanations. Yet silence rarely sparks communication. Dialogue is far more productive. The Supermoon Equinox brings inspiration and hope for the future. For your four-minute guide to the week, call 1550 511 611. SAGITTARIUS NEWSPAPERS Nov 23 — Dec 21 and websites need attention-grabbing headlines if they want to reach an audience. In this day and age, they need to be constantly updated, too. Usually, in this crazy world, there’s so much going on that there’s a constant stream of new ideas and images to choose from. Sometimes, though, the wheels seem to be turning along the same track. It feels as if you’re dealing with a situation that you know of old. Don’t be fooled. This is not quite what it seems. The Supermoon Equinox charges the sky with astrological promise. For an inspiring guide to your week, call 1550 511 611. CAPRICORN WHEN you Dec 22 — Jan 20 make the effort, you can have a considerable effect on both people and the situations you find yourself dealing with. You can adapt to suit the circumstances; assertively creating clear directives or subtly persuading people to take action. So, rather than asking whether or not something is possible today, it’s more valuable to think about whether or not you really need to do anything. Could sitting back and trusting in the cosmos be enough? You don’t have to try so hard to get what you want. The Supermoon Equinox brings inspiration and hope for the future. For your four-minute guide to the week, call 1550 511 611. AQUARIUS WHY is it that, Jan 21 — Feb 19 if the gardaí were to knock on the door, we’d be filled with panic? ‘What could I have done? Have I inadvertently broken the law?’ We remember our tiniest transgressions and feel relief when it becomes clear they are just trying to find someone else to talk to about something. It’s interesting that, even though we live by the principle of ‘innocent until proven guilty’, we often consider ourselves ‘guilty until proven innocent’. You have nothing to be ashamed of today. The Supermoon Equinox charges the sky with astrological promise. For an inspiring guide to your week, call 1550 511 611. PISCES YOU’RE capable Feb 20 — Mar 20 of extraordinary things. I’m not saying this to spur you on today. Rather, I’m hoping to instil quiet confidence and a sense of restraint. If you’re only hoping to achieve something mediocre, then go ahead and say and do exactly what you feel like doing. But, if you suspect that you’re holding a winning hand, you need to think before you act. Every move is essential. Be bold, by all means. But make sure you don’t make your big move until you’re in a position from which you can’t possibly lose. The Supermoon Equinox brings inspiration and hope for the future.
