Hello Oscar, Has Mercury retrograde affected Brexit preparations? Charles

Hi Charles, When Brexit terms were agreed last November, Mercury was retrograde. Given that this was a temporary ‘agreement’ to be revisited, it was an appropriate celestial position. Mercury insists that care is taken in order to avoid miscommunication, so its dealings can never be rushed. With Mercury retrograde again and Brexit looming, it’s no surprise that old issues are resurfacing. It’ll take time to get them right.

TAURUS Apr 21 — May 21

IT SEEMS as if everything is coming to a head at the same time. You have questions that you’re unsure how to answer and discussions that you don’t really want to be part of; tasks that you don’t feel like completing and pressures that you really don’t want to succumb to. Yet, if you can make the effort to face these challenges, you’re going to be extremely successful. All you need do is take one step at a time, keep smiling, and do your best. This policy will pay off over the next few days. Uncertain? There’s a very special message for you when you call to hear your in-depth, week-ahead forecast. Call 0906 751 5602.

GEMINI May 22 — June 22

WE LOOK left and right before we cross the road. When we’re traversing uneven terrain, we stare at the ground underneath our feet. It’s rare, however, that we take the time to look up. That’s why, when we do, we’re blown away by the awesome magnitude of the stars and the planets. Today brings a vital opportunity not only to look up, but to soar into the realms of imagination and inspiration. Take this occasion to reach for your highest dreams. Worried?

CANCER June 23 — July 23

ALTHOUGH you

can see proof that the efforts you’ve been making to rise to a challenge are paying off, you’re a bit disappointed. There seems to be so much more to do. Yet it’s all too easy to focus on what hasn’t been done than value your accomplishments. Some processes take longer than we’d like them to. They can’t be rushed. The act of pushing too hard, can create even more delays. While Mercury is retrograde, you have a series of chances to address issues that will eventually benefit you. Anxious?

LEO July 24 — Aug 23

SOME folk enjoy taking the simple things in life and making them more complicated. They use complex multi-syllable words when plain language would do. They reference ancient bylaws to support their action plans. This is their way of achieving a semblance of authority and staying in control. It’s frustrating when you can see a simple way to make progress when other people won’t stop pointing out the potential problems. You can clear your way through psychological claptrap today.

VIRGO Aug 24 — Sep 23

WHO, in your opinion has the most power of anyone in the world? Is there one particular head of state whose words are so commanding and brilliant that everyone does their bidding? Is there anyone in power, anywhere, with the ability to overcome national sadness, or to turn back the hands of time, or to encourage people to let go of hatred? Then that’s not saying much for authority is it? Today, even though you’re not a royal, or a president, or even a politician, you can touch someone’s heart. Uncertain?

LIBRA Sep 24 — Oct 23

IT’S TIME to stop dwelling on how things used to be. It also wouldn’t hurt to stop over-thinking how they could be some day in the future. These are theories which exist purely in the imagination. You need something practical. Your suspicion that a current process is going less than swimmingly now, is simply wrong. If you put all your focus and effort into ensuring that the right things get done, when they should be done, it gives the cosmos the chance to bring you the very best. Worried?

SCORPIO Oct 24 — Nov 22

THINGS aren’t quite what they used to be. They used to be ‘thungs’ until someone changed the ‘u’ to an ‘i’. Of course, that’s not true! But this ridiculous idea is no sillier than the concept other people are putting to you at the moment. The implication, is that something from the past is having a major effect on your current situation… that ‘this’ is having a huge impact on ‘that’. Yet there’s an awful lot of hypothesising going on. Guilt is being over-generously distributed. Don’t fall for it. Anxious? There’s a very special message for you when you call to hear your in-depth, week-ahead forecast. Call 0906 751 5608.

SAGITTARIUS Nov 23 — Dec 21

ONCE we’ve set our sights on something, it’s easy to ignore all counter-arguments. We seize anything that justifies our point of view, no matter how questionable. Even the most astute among us, who pride ourselves on our ability to read subtle signals, are inclined to see more of the ones that support our desires, than those that contradict them. So how can you be sure you’re open-minded? You can’t. So, if impartiality’s impossible, throw passion at it instead! Confused?

CAPRICORN Dec 22 — Jan 20

DESPITE Mercury’s backwards movement bringing moments of déjà vu, you’re not going in circles. If there’s one thing that you’d like to change, it would be to reduce the pressure you feel. You’ve looked at a scenario from the obvious angles as well as from remote perspectives. Yet you still haven’t managed to find a way to make things okay. You’re assuming that you’re missing crucial details, it’s more likely that you’re not putting two and two together. You soon will. Uncertain?

AQUARIUS Jan 21 — Feb 19

IS THIS the end of something? Or the start of a new chapter? We all like to believe that things will stay exactly as they are — particularly when they’ve suited us. But nothing in this world is static. Change brings confusion; confusion brings apprehension; and apprehension brings a sense of feeling overwhelmed. It’s in moments like this we long for familiarity, irrespective of how toxic it may be. Luckily, the change that’s sweeping through your world is of the exciting, positive kind. Worried?

PISCES Feb 20 — Mar 20

WHEN we speak the same language as the people we’re trying to communicate with, it’s easy to assume that we understand one another. Yet words can be ambiguous. We often look like we’re listening, while not really paying attention. We tend to imagine that we know what people are going to say, and fill in the words in our heads. With Mercury retracing its steps in your sign, it’s worth keeping an extra eye (and ear) out to avoid jumping to the wrong conclusions today. Anxious?
