OSCAR CAINER

Today, the Sun makes a supportive alignment with Jupiter as it prepares for its annual conjunction with Saturn. and this weekend, Mercury forms a harmonious link with Neptune. It poses this question: why would the cosmos be encouraging us to explore what’s possible, investigate our dreams and think freely and imaginatively, while wishing to limit our ability to do anything about it? In truth, there’s no unseen power, forcing our hand or restricting our movement. With enough endeavour and commitment, nothing is off the table now.

ARIES Mar 21 — Apr 20

IMAGINE you’re a high-wire walker.

As the Sun links with Jupiter, before becoming conjunct to Saturn this weekend, you are where you are. You’re doing what you’re doing. Everything will work out well, as long as you don’t question your entitlement to succeed. Here’s another tip. Don’t look down! NEW! Want to know what 2017 has in store for you?

TAURUS Apr 21 — May 21

WE ALL have responsibilities to fulfil. Some of these drain our resources, while others are gateways to more exciting lives. A partnership in your life is about to be tested. This isn’t, though, a time for entrenchment or retreat. You simply need to adapt to a new terrain. And, despite this military terminology, I’m not suggesting that a friend is about to become a foe. But you do need to be fighting fit! This weekend, with a little extra effort, there’s a great deal of ground to be gained. NEW! Your four-minute forecast for 2017. It’s going to be a much better year than you think. Find out why. Call 0906 751 5602.

GEMINI May 22 — June 22

THIS weekend, the Sun conjuncts Saturn, while linking to Venus. This comes hot on the heels of its encouraging relationship to Jupiter. The planets are organising the energy to help you overcome an obstacle. They’re supporting your decisions, awakening your enthusiasm and creating a climate to resolve conflict. This affects inner conflicts, too. Where you’ve been in two minds about a problem, you’ll find it easier to get your head and heart to reach agreement. So, go gently. There’s no rush. NEW!

CANCER June 23 — July 23

HAVE you been keeping a secret? This may feel like the right moment to let the cat out of the bag. If you’re itching to reveal your hiding place, think seriously about who will benefit from the revelation and who might get hurt. Deception, as troubling as it may be, is sometimes the only way to offer protection. And there’s something in your life you’re keen to protect. NEW! Your four-minute forecast for 2017. It’s going to be a much better year than you think. Find out why. Call 0906 751 5604.

LEO July 24 — Aug 23

IF YOU think something can’t be done, it probably can’t! Indeed, it probably can’t be done, even if it can! Pessimistic expectations lead to negative outcomes. You know this. It’s why you strive for a sunny disposition. But how can you think positively about a matter if you can’t see what could be positive about it? Focus on the encouragement the Sun is receiving from Jupiter, rather than any weariness its link to Saturn threatens to bring, one key situation will be far more rewarding than you think. NEW!

VIRGO Aug 24 — Sep 23

WHEN family commitments loom large, you can be forgiven for sometimes feeling resentful towards those whom fate connected you with. But you can’t allow duty to cast gloom over the rest of your life. The skies promise fun and adventure. It’s a question of balance and compartmentalising life into manageable moments. If something looms large now, it can be cut down to size. Look again at where you’ve sacrificed enjoyment for security. There’s a way to put the fun into functional! NEW! Your fourminute forecast for 2017. It’s going to be a much better year than you think. Find out why. Call 0906 751 5606.

LIBRA Sep 24 — Oct 23

IMAGINE someone needs to give you some information. It’s not news you particularly want to hear. Imagine how hard it is for them to broach this delicate subject. You might be very resistant at first, but eventually, you’d be glad of their perseverance. Now, think of the message you feel somewhat reluctant to convey to someone. Naturally, you’d prefer not to have this task. But, as Venus links to the Sun-Saturn conjunction, if you can’t avoid it, you can at least do it delicately and sensitively. NEW!

SCORPIO Oct 24 — Nov 22

IT’S often said life isn’t black and white and that we shouldn’t be so quick to judge… that we need to remember there are grey areas, and aspects open to interpretation. This, though, should never be used to excuse wrongdoing. Your judgment is as keen as that of a person in a silly wig wielding a wooden mallet! It’s a good thing too — life is calling on you to decide where to apply restrictions, and where to encourage a sense of freedom. This weekend, do your best to be unimpeachable. NEW! Your four-minute forecast for 2017. It’s going to be a much better year than you think. Find out why. Call 0906 751 5608.

SAGITTARIUS Nov 23 — Dec 21

IN THE city of York, you may legally use a bow and arrow to shoot a Scotsman. You can do it with impunity unless it’s Sunday, in which case the law offers no protection! This law, we’re told, has never been repealed. But nor has it been put to the test for a very long time. As the Sun, in your sign, links to your ruler before becoming conjunct with Saturn this weekend, look carefully at things which are OK for you to do in your life. Don’t be guided entirely by ‘rules’.

CAPRICORN Dec 22 — Jan 20

IN THE summer, when grass is thick and strong, if a tidy plot is to be maintained, a lawn needs mowing regularly. But, as the weather changes and days grow shorter, if it’s cut too short, too frequently, grass can be damaged by the cold. This harm can be irreparable. Sometimes a home may look messy and unloved, but, while the occupants focus on other aspects of life, its roots are deepening. Something in your life can benefit from a fallow period. Relax, and let go of something over the weekend. NEW! Your four-minute forecast for 2017. It’s going to be a much better year than you think. Find out why. Call 0906 751 5610.

AQUARIUS Jan 21 — Feb 19

EVERY weekend, bars are full of people drinking too much. They wake up next day, and say: ‘Never again!’ But most will repeat the exercise. Why are we all so perverse? And where, in your life, are dual standards in operation? With Mars in your sign recently linked to your modern ruler, and the Sun about to conjunct your traditional ruler, look again this weekend at the difference between what’s said and what’s done if you want to bring about long-term, beneficial changes.

PISCES Feb 20 — Mar 20

RECENTLY we talked about sticking to your guns. As you do so, try to bring a sense of humour with you today. It’s easy to lose faith in our goals when we feel despondent. And a good laugh not only helps the day along — it’s infectious. It fosters harmony and makes competition enjoyable rather than arduous. There’s a lighter side to you and it’s calling to be shared now. If you allow yourself to be filled by a lighter humour, your rise is inevitable as you grow, well, lighter! NEW!
