OSCAR CAINER

THEY say ‘if at first you don’t succeed, try, try again’. They also say repeating the same actions while expecting different results is madness. Yet there is a way to marry these principles. Following the weekend’s Mercury/Jupiter opposition, while big ideas might have much to commend them, devils remain in the details. Fortunately Venus’s change of signs will help us to appreciate the subtleties.

ARIES Mar 21 - Apr 20 RATHER than focusing on the actual words of your prediction, try looking at the spaces in between. They contain an important message . . . but you’ll need to summon your psychic, intuitive powers if you’re going to be able to understand it. Or, if you don’t have the time for that, you could just take everything you come across at face value. That’s a better idea! Following Mercury’s link with Jupiter, you might be tempted to overcomplicate simple issues. But why waste your energy doing that? Don’t worry about the future. Understand it, embrace it . . . and transform it. Learn how in your latest forecast. Call 0906 751 5601.

TAURUS Apr 21 - May 21 ‘NOTHING will work unless you do,’ said the writer and civil rights activist Maya Angelou. Well, you’ve been doing a lot of work recently and, as far as you’re aware, your efforts have been going unnoticed. But if it’s the act of ‘doing’ that’s so important, you’re doing very well indeed. And recognition often happens at the end of the process. It’s not the goal. You’re heading along a path that will lead to satisfaction. If you allow yourself to feel pleased with your progress, as if by magic, others will show their appreciation. Auspicious alignments suggest good times lie ahead.

GEMINI May 22 - June 22 THEY say ‘everything happens for a reason’. Many people believe that every experience and encounter that comes our way has a point and a purpose. They think we exist because we have lessons to learn. And who’s to say that they’re incorrect? Yet that doesn’t mean all events are of equal value and importance. Some are more significant. Not every item on your to-do list is critical. The legacy of your ruler’s opposition to Jupiter enables you to work out what’s essential, and what’s a distraction.

LEO July 24 - Aug 23 YOU don’t know much, do you? But then, neither does anyone. Even the brightest minds on the planet know only a tiny iota of everything there is to learn and understand. Does that hamper them? Do they doubt themselves and their capabilities? Possibly, sometimes. But hopefully, they know that it’s what they do know that matters. When it comes to one situation, your instincts are spot on, and your intuition is accurate. Don’t let anyone dissuade you from what you know to be right. They’ll thank you later!

VIRGO Aug 24 - Sep 23 SUPPOSE you win the jackpot, and it somehow causes you to fall out with someone you hold dear? The money would never offset such a development. Or, suppose you forget your bag on the train, and in your efforts to find it you’re late for a meeting that would have turned ugly? It’s not easy to evaluate the forces at work in our lives. It’s only with hindsight that we can see why things happen for the best. With Venus, the planet of love, moving into your sign, if you think positive, you’ll appreciate what will unfold.

LIBRA Sep 24 - Oct 23 MOVING onwards and upwards in this often stressful world can feel like walking through quicksand. It’s energy sapping; we feel as if we’re using disproportionate amounts of energy just to take a few meagre steps. Sometimes it requires every ounce of energy just to keep going.

As your ruling planet, Venus, moves into your neighbouring sign, today is one of those days. There’s no need to worry. All you need is some guidance. Your week ahead forecast can help. Call 0906 751 5607.

SCORPIO Oct 24 - Nov 22 WHEN we help other people, it’s reasonable to expect they may help us. This is a perfectly natural philosophy to follow. Yet we’ve all witnessed situations where someone is doing their best to be kind, and to make a difference, but their actions are rejected: they’re made to feel unwelcome. How are your efforts and actions being received? Following the Mercury/ Jupiter opposition, remember that you’re not obliged to make sacrifices.

SAGITTARIUS IF Nov 23 - Dec 21 there is something in your world that doesn’t seem to be working out in the right way, should you assume it’s going to ‘all go wrong’? ‘All’ is a small word that encompasses a huge quantity of ‘wrongness’.

CAPRICORN Dec 22 - Jan 20 IS there a floor that needs cleaning? Or a sink that requires unblocking? You’re a pragmatic, responsible Capricorn . . . aren’t you the ideal person to take on the task? You’re feeling impressively willing to be humble and subservient. If these jobs are for yourself (or for someone who needs help and would appreciate your assistance) that’s fine.

AQUARIUS LIFE would Jan 21 - Feb 19 be so much better if we could trust one another. If we sought to understand other people’s perspectives, fears and dreams, the world would be a kinder, more tolerant and compassionate place. But it’s easier to be selfish. To form quick judgments and to move on. To only engage with people and issues that impact our lives. Yet, if we took time to really look, we would have greater insight. And we might make more allowances. And others might return the favour. There are reasons to feel positive! If you want good news, call for your latest, in-depth four-minute forecast: 0906 751 5611.

PISCES Feb 20 - Mar 20 The world seems to be filled with single-minded, energetic people who assert themselves, with such purpose that their inefficiency is easy to overlook. We watch them, in their whirl of activity, and don’t see the futility of their ambitions or the ridiculousness of their plans. As a sensitive Piscean, you prefer to take your time before making a decision about whether to jump into any swirling maelstroms. The best way to do that is to refrain from making rash choices, and not jump to conclusions. Follow that logic today.
