OSCAR CAINER
It’s only Wednesday, but it’s time to start talking in earnest about next Monday’s eclipse.
An opportunity like this comes along once in a blue moon. Actually, much like a blue moon, the eclipse has the rare quality of being the second New Moon in a single sign. And, as if that weren’t enough, it arrives just as the sun aligns with saturn and Uranus to create a magnificent Grand trine formation.
that’s why I’m calling it the Blue trine Eclipse — and looking forward to it banishing our Monday blues!
ARIES Mar 21 — Apr 20
WHEN I was a child, Philip Ridley’s book Krindlekrax terrified and enthralled me. The protagonist’s father used the phrase: ‘Not my fault!’ to avoid dealing with awkward situations. Though there’s no sewer-dwelling, fire-breathing monster looming large in your life, you’re tempted to ignore something rather than deal with it. To avoid spoilers, let’s just say that approach didn’t work in the book! And if you take responsibility now, you’ll find your own Krindlekrax is more toothless than you imagine.

TAURUS Apr 21 — May 21
THEY say that sorry is the hardest word, but people say it all the time, with varying levels of sincerity. There’s the moody teenager’s: ‘Sorry for being born!’, usually accompanied by door slamming. Then there’s the scandal-hit politician, who won’t apologise for what they’ve done, but will manage to utter: ‘Sorry if you misunderstood’; and the gloating apology: ‘So sorry your team lost and mine won’. A genuine ‘sorry’ is hard to say, but it can be the catalyst for improved relationships, honesty and trust. A rare portal now opens up in this magical time between two eclipses.

GEMINI May 22 — June 22
‘IN VINO veritas.’ was an expression used in ancient Rome — if you want information, plying people with alcohol will lower their ‘secret-keeping’ resistance. We all know people who reveal their deepest, darkest thoughts after a drink or two, and, of course, although honesty is often the best policy, discretion can still be the better part of valour. Though it might not seem as if extreme caution is necessary, there’s a need to be discreet today. Only say what you need to. A rare portal now opens up in this magical time between two eclipses.

CANCER June 23 — July 23
DO YOU have psychic powers? Can you see into the hearts and minds of people around you? Can you read between the lines? Of course! We all can, sometimes. At other times, though, our intuition is hard to read. Be cautious of jumping to a conclusion over a vision that seems to be based on hard facts. Your understanding might not be as complete as you believe. It’s likely that you only have a part of the story. New possibilities are about to be revealed which will give you a different perspective.

LEO July 24 — Aug 23
THERE’S a saying: ‘more haste, less speed’. Over time it’s become so commonplace that we simply take it to be a fact and assume that a quick job is a rushed job. But that’s not necessarily true. Different people have different skills. A talented artist might be able to produce the most wonderful piece of art in an hour, whereas a novice might take double that time to achieve something only vaguely comparable. Today, keep in mind that things which happen quickly can be very good indeed. A rare portal now opens up in this magical time between two eclipses. Find out what this means for you.

VIRGO Aug 24 — Sep 23
IF YOU could be granted one superpower, which would you choose? Most people’s first choice is to be able to fly, which would make a difference to traffic congestion! Another popular preference is invisibility. I can see why being able to disappear from uncomfortable situations might appeal. Yet we can all wield this power. It’s not always the most positive way to cope. But melting into the background — until you’re ready to stride forward with optimism — is a smart way to refuel your self-confidence.

LIBRA Sep 24 — Oct 23
SOME people see the glass as half empty, and there’s nothing you can do to persuade them otherwise. The danger is the more time you spend with such people, the more you might agree with them. Pessimism is infectious. If it’s left to grow, it’s harder to counteract. If you really want to affect someone’s mood, be patient and acknowledge that even optimists can see the reality of problems. They just try to deal with them in a skilful, gentle way. Diplomacy can lead to understanding. A rare portal now opens up in this magical time between two eclipses. Find out what this means for you.

SCORPIO Oct 24 — Nov 22
YESTERDAY we talked about your convictions. What I didn’t ask was whether you had faith in them. Even though you might doubt yourself, my faith in your bravery is absolute. Of course, questioning yourself when a particular course of action seems to have no hope of success is valuable. Yet just like those trick birthday candles, hope has a funny way of flickering back to life just when it seems to have been extinguished. Try not to lose sight of the goal. It’s closer than it appears. A rare portal now opens up in this magical time between two eclipses. Find out what this means for you. Call 0906 751 5608.
SAGITTARIUS Nov 23 — Dec 21
NOTHING is too much trouble for you. It’s one of your most admirable traits: you always make the extra effort and go beyond the call of duty. But sometimes, when the situation is baffling, you have to ask yourself: is it worth it? This is one of those times. You could marshal your resources to throw at this problem. But suppose you were simply to look at it logically. Do you spend too much energy on a mere diversion? You could better invest your time . . . and have more success and fun.

CAPRICORN Dec 22 — Jan 20
GIVE yourself a break! Everyone deals with anxieties and everyone is hard on themselves — sometimes. We’re human, and it’s natural to have self-doubts. When we’re battling with our insecurities, it can be hard not to fall into self-criticism. Try not to tumble further down that dark rabbit hole! You’re not gaining anything by giving yourself a hard time. What you think are your most glaring faults are not really faults at all. The best remedy is simple, if not always easy: be kind to yourself. A rare portal now opens up in this magical time between two eclipses. Find out what this means for you. Call 0906 751 5610.
AQUARIUS Jan 21 — Feb 19
SOME things are set in stone — no matter how much we might wish we could change them, we just have to accept that it’s impossible. But few of life’s immovable objects are impervious to your unstoppable force. All you need is the right frame of mind. Your ability to negotiate can never be taken for granted, ignored or underestimated. Recent developments are helping you to develop your skills. With Mercury retrograde, an agreement can be revisited. Be gracious, be fair, but be firm. A rare portal now opens up in this magical time between two eclipses. Find out what this means for you.
