OSCAR CAINER

It’s International Women’s Day and Mercury and the sun both make angles to Pluto just after their conjunction. so often in life, it’s strong, powerful women working in the shadows who are the driving force of our greatest changes. sadly, they often don’t get the credit they deserve. so, as Pluto, representing hidden power, links to the bold interaction of the sun and Mercury, now’s the time to shine a light on the achievements of women. they deserve to be celebrated far more than they are.

TAURUS ON FRIDAY, when Apr 21 — May 21 Mars arrives in your sign, you’ll begin to notice how long it’s been since you felt so motivated, determined, and powerful. There may be obstacles in your way but they’ll pose little resistance . . . as long as they’re difficulties created by other people. Whether your opponents and adversaries are acting consciously or not, you can triumph — but not if you trip yourself up by becoming too hasty, harsh or heartless.

In the trade, it’s called ‘dying’ — perhaps because it sucks the life from everyone! As a veteran of the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, I know that seeing a bad show leaves more of an impression than seeing a slick pro. Even the best comedians have been through this process while honing their schtick. Be thankful for the difficulties you’ve faced. They’re revealing your way to the top. What’s happening to you? And why? How can you get what you need? Your four-minute forecast has the answers: Call 0906 751 5603. CANCER TEACHERS know June 23 — July 23 that if they want their students to retain information, they must make their lessons a little entertaining. Diplomats know that when they have an unwelcome message to deliver, it will be received better with a compliment or concession. Mary Poppins summed it up when she sang: ‘A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down.’ As Mercury links with Pluto today, whether you’re administering or receiving a form of medicine, do all you can to make it palatable.

This affects each zodiac sign differently. For you, it focuses on ambition . . . your motivation is about to get a shot in the arm. Of course, motivation is one thing, and achieving your aims is another! For the impatient, this may spell frustration. But I’m sure nobody ever accused you of such a vice! Nor could they suggest that you’re difficult when you fail to get what you want. So, I’ll suggest that you temper your enthusiasm with commitment! Surge forwards, but steadily so.

VIRGO I HAVE been gently, Aug 24 — Sep 23 but pointedly, suggesting that you have the capacity to behave with great grace and dignity. You can set an example. You can buck a trend. You don’t have to descend to someone else’s level, or reduce your standards until they comply with the lowest common denominator. You can be mildly heroic, and subtly saintly, sweetly altruistic. The Sun has just been conjunct your ruler. It suggests you’ll put yourself at no disadvantage by doing that today, and may yet make a great gain. What’s happening to you? And why?

LIBRA ‘I KNOW what I want Sep 24 — Oct 23 and I know how to get it, I want to destroy, passers-by!’ sang the punk band The Sex Pistols.

Even Librans, famed for tolerance, aren’t immune to a raging temper, especially when they feel that life is being unfair. Where is your passion at risk of turning to venom? Don’t let it become a dividing line between yourself and others. You’ll soon see how to direct this energy into mutually beneficial endeavours. What’s happening to you? And why?

And if there’s nothing good, you can download a movie or stream a TV series. But you can’t pick up a remote control and adjust tomorrow’s weather. The sky will bring whatever it intends to bring. When faced with a climate that we can’t control, all we can do is alter our attitude towards it and react accordingly. Mercury and the Sun both link to your ruler Pluto now.

Here’s something else you can say to pretty much anyone at any time. ‘Today is the first day of the rest of your life’. 2017’s great T-square is focused on your sign. And it will keep providing opportunities for you to arrive at new beginnings. But you may also encounter reasons to doubt. It’s up to you to choose which of these mind-sets dominate.

AQUARIUS YESTERDAY, I Jan 21 — Feb 19 talked about the weird world I grew up in. Astrology has long been the family business. But could I have done anything else? Perhaps there’s an alternative universe where I work in an office, and don’t spend my nights star-gazing, and my days figuring out what it all means! But I know how lucky I am. There’s no point regretting the things we can’t change — the past is one of those. Remember that you have more to be thankful for, than be frustrated about. What’s happening to you? And why?

Especially if you were never quite sure which aspect of this individual you were likely to encounter from one moment to the next. Now, let’s stop here for a moment. I think I know what you’re thinking. You don’t have to imagine it; it’s something you’ve experienced from time to time. Indeed, you have. That person is you! But as Mercury links encouragingly to Pluto, the good news is that you now have power over which side of yourself to show to yourself! What’s happening to you? And why? How can you get what you need?
