OSCAR CAINER

‘Love is all you need,’ sang The Beatles. But in the complex society we live in, it takes more than just love to keep us fed, clothed and looked after. Yet, perhaps we can look at this lyric from another angle. Could it be that all our striving for success is just a search for more love and acceptance? As venus converges with Saturn and prepares to do the same with Pluto, we may be forced to ask some difficult questions. But wherever they lead, the cosmic message is clear. We’re strong enough to profit from the answers.

ARIES Mar 21 — Apr 20

MY SON’S walk to school every morning has become more complicated. It now involves avoiding, at all costs, all the cracks in the pavement. Kids through the ages have played similar games; there are some parts of the world, apparently, where you have to avoid the paving stones! Either way, I’ve never heard of anyone being caught by the bear or the bogeyman they were trying to avoid. And that’s the point I need to make to you. There’s no reason to look over your shoulder, this week.

TAURUS Apr 21 — May 21

ACCORDING to ancient wisdom, the ‘Akashic’ records are a compendium of all human thought, activity and emotion, which is kept in the etheric realm. Whereas this concept, once upon a time, would have conjured up pictures of angels lovingly writing beautiful manuscripts, nowadays we’re more likely to think of an invisible huge memory stick in the sky. As Venus and Saturn converge, even if the past has a different feel to it, you’re under no obligation to do anything you don’t want to do.

GEMINI May 22 — June 22

SOME days leave us wondering how on earth we’ve found ourselves in a certain situation or managed to pledge ourselves so completely to a particular issue. Looking back, we can’t imagine how we got here. Looking forwards, it’s hard to see past an ever-growing pile of obligations. If we’d only have a little more confidence in our own abilities, things might look different indeed. Everything happens for a reason; believe in that and the answer you seek will soon be revealed.

CANCER June 23 — July 23

NATURE is abundant. There are times, though, when it challenges us; and the planet’s ability to proffer the level of richness and fertility that we have come to expect is compromised. Yet even harsh conditions are impermanent and, sometimes, (eventually) nature redresses the balance by supplying an excess of the exact thing we might prefer rather less of. Though you may be struggling to regulate an area of your world that seems to be in flux, the consequences are not as serious as you fear.

LEO July 24 — Aug 23

SOMETIMES it feels as if we’re living in a swirling metaphorical mist of confusion. Our thoughts are so jumbled that it’s impossible to know what to focus on next. In such circumstances, we tend to respond to what’s most urgent, leaving the more difficult topics for another time. It’s only later that we realise that our agenda has been hijacked by someone else’s vociferous demands at the expense of our own affairs. Venus and Saturn’s link brings a very timely reminder of your priorities.

VIRGO Aug 24 — Sep 23

It’s an exceptional week. The Astrological Stellium brings change and transformation. For important news, call 0906 751 5605. AS VENUS and Saturn link, they bring an opportunity to reassess an emotional commitment you’re engaged in; particularly an agreement you’ve recently entered into. You did sign an emotional contract, didn’t you? Don’t you need to record all the favours and kind moments in order to ensure that everyone pays their dues and gets their just rewards? Luckily, our world is not built on this kind of understanding. The cosmos is now offering you a new direction; a stronger support system is yours for the taking.

LIBRA Sep 24 — Oct 23

YOU’RE not the arrogant sort; and since cunning games of one-upmanship aren’t your style, you think other people have more influence than you. But the truth is that those other folk just create more noise. They make their points known, whether or not anyone is paying attention. And, more often than not, people just pretend to listen because it’s the easiest thing to do. They pay closer heed to thoughtful words. You can communicate what you need to in your own way.

SCORPIO Oct 24 — Nov 22

YOU can listen to the same piece of music a thousand times then, one day, you’ll notice an instrument in the background that you’ve never heard before. You might walk past a picture every day, but it’s only when you stop to really look at it that you see the details it depicts. And these are just the inanimate objects in our lives. When it comes to people, there are even more surprises in store. Although you might think you know someone inside-out, there’s an exciting discovery coming your way this week.

SAGITTARIUS Nov 23 — Dec 21

YOU’LL have a lifetime to unravel the meaning of all that you’ve experienced, and will continue to experience, during the cosmic blessing of having your ruler in your sign. There’s time for you to mull over your decisions and review your opinions. With each day, new things come to pass and more information comes to light. That’s why it’s so important that you keep open-minded to the real meaning of all that’s unfolding. A strong emotional bond merits your full attention.

CAPRICORN Dec 22 — Jan 20

MOST people narrow down their choices and limit their options. We tend to think that other folk are more deserving than we are. Luxury and the easy-life . . . that’s for someone else, not for us. So, what exactly do you think that other people do to merit being able to have things on their terms? What do they know that you don’t? Actually, they do know something. They understand that when you reach for the best, you’re much more likely to get it. Keep that in mind as Venus and Saturn converge today.

AQUARIUS Jan 21 — Feb 19

IT IS impossible to know what we’re capable of until we try. We can watch other people’s actions and try to calculate the odds of their success. We can learn from their attempts and raise an eyebrow at their mistakes. But we’d be wise to pause for thought before coming to our own conclusion. As Venus and Saturn link today, pay attention to other people’s experiences, but don’t assume that you’re obliged to relive what you see. You have abilities that no one else has.

PISCES Feb 20 — Mar 20

MANY people believe that we come to Earth to learn specific lessons, and that the same situations repeat over and over again in our lives so that we have the chance to work out how best to deal with them. With the year’s cyclical calendar reminding us both of the past, and of our expectations for the future, it’s easy to understand this way of looking at life. What’s occurring in your world, though, has never happened before. Don’t be tempted to respond in an old way to something so refreshingly new.
