OSCAR CAINER

A 90-degree angle between the Sun and Mars can occur up to twice a year, so last weekend’s square isn’t uncommon. What lends it greater weight is that the Sun is staying in the home of Mars, which hasn’t happened since 2009, when it was in Scorpio. This time, it’s in Aries, giving the whole situation more get up and go. So, although the world is full of reasons to feel frustrated, the planets’ movements provide impetus. While the iron’s so hot and ready for striking, this is not the time to give up on anything. ARIES Mar 21 — Apr 20

WHEN running for the U.S. presidency, Al Gore was nicknamed Al ‘Bore’. But anyone who has heard him campaign about the environment since then will attest that, whatever you think of his political stance, he’s a passionate public speaker. Even the most reticent wallflower can bloom and even the most dynamic individual can fail to reach their potential. You can have real success now. As the Sun links to your ruler, in your sign, triumph can be yours — but only if you passionately engage in the process. Need some reassuring advice in these difficult times?

TAURUS Apr 21 — May 21

IS THERE a point you feel the need to make or a line that needs drawing? Though you feel inclined to be very specific and want to make your intentions very clear, there’s a strong likelihood that by doing so you’ll be imposing limits on your own potential. Better today to be more adaptable than certain. If you can respond spontaneously, people will find you more approachable and will be more likely to share valuable insight and information. If you don’t get in the way, the way ahead will be much clearer. In challenging times, it’s good to know where to find advice. Your latest four-minute forecast has inspiring news.

GEMINI May 22 — June 22

PEOPLE say that ‘if you can’t be good, be careful’. But being good is what most of us try to be (most of the time). So if the idea of being good doesn’t inspire for its own sake, maybe it’s not actually that good. Sometimes, it might just be that what you think is bad, is good! And now you come to think about it, surely bad is often just someone’s different point of view? This week, you need to be careful about doing ‘good’ just to satisfy someone else’s expectations. Think of your own needs, too. Need some reassuring advice in these difficult times? For valuable guidance, call your latest four-minute forecast: 0906 751 5603.

CANCER June 23 — July 23

YOU’RE feeling sure that you know what you need to do. You also know how vital it is that you succeed. The pressure is on — and there’s little room for error. At least, that’s how you feel. Actually, there’s more lenience than you think. Achieving perfection is not only unnecessary, it’s impossible. All you have to do is simply your best. There might well be a challenge involved, but it’s nothing you can’t deal with. Do what feels right to you, not what anyone else thinks appropriate.

Will you take advantage of the blessings bestowed on you by a kindly cosmos? I hope so! Your ruler is making important angles to powerful planets. You should find you’re not only motivated and energised, but filled with the conviction to see an exciting project through to completion. Grab the opportunities that come your way.

VIRGO Aug 24 — Sep 23

THERE’S a sense of tension in your life that’s directly linked to the actions of the planets. There’s every chance that you’re going to get to where you want to be; it’s just that there are likely to be moments this week when it feels as though it’s all going a bit pear-shaped. But just because it feels as though something is out of kilter, it doesn’t mean it is. Actually, you’ve just got hold of a difficult piece of the jigsaw — you’ll soon see where to put it. Then you’ll have a clearer idea of the whole picture. In challenging times, it’s good to know where to find advice. Your latest four-minute forecast has inspiring news. Call 0906 751 5606.

LIBRA Sep 24 — Oct 23

DUE to all sorts of different emotions, from fear and stress to ignorance and selfishness, we all sometimes act harshly and unlovingly towards others. The problem is that these attitudes are contagious and easily spread. Sometimes our bad deeds even come back to find us, which can make us feel even more cross! No matter how much aggravation someone might give you, your worst enemy is always you. If you want something to improve this week, start by telling yourself that it can.

SCORPIO Oct 24 — Nov 22

‘SLOWLY slowly catchy monkey’ goes the saying. These days we frown on having wild beasts as pets, but domestic animals still need training. Processes need to be repeated until they come naturally, then animals and humans can live happily together. Of course, the most effective training is done not with a stick, but with — sometimes literally — a carrot. You’re practising a skill you’ll benefit from, but you won’t progress if you scold yourself. If you stay enthusiastic, rather than frustrated, you’ll reap rewards.

SAGITTARIUS Nov 23 — Dec 21

THOUGH it might be true that where there’s a will, there’s a way, the way is sometimes hard to find. Willpower is only successful when we back our wishes with action. If you channel your most intuitive side and use your creativity, there’s a real chance you can arrive at a moment of brilliance that will enable you to take a leap forward on the way you want to go. You’ve had many moments of inspiration before; why write off the chance of another now? You can do more than you think. Need some reassuring advice in these difficult times?

CAPRICORN Dec 22 — Jan 20

IT’S as if a tiny spark has been ignited and you’re beginning to feel flames of fortune flickering. They’re creating a warmth and energy that have you ready and willing to head out on a conquest (no matter how convincing the reasons for carrying on in the usual way might be). What’s going on? You’re not one to abandon a routine and go gallivanting off, are you? The skies aren’t just encouraging you to be courageous, they’ll reward it when they see it. This is your opportunity to seize a rare opportunity. In challenging times, it’s good to know where to find advice. Your latest four-minute forecast has inspiring news. Call 0906 751 5610.

AQUARIUS Jan 21 — Feb 19

WE ALL secretly tend to think of ourselves as being astute, cool and self-possessed. In the face of sometimes overwhelming evidence that we aren’t quite maintaining this dignified manner, we need to create imaginative scenarios in which we play the hero. The weekend’s SunMars square turned up the heat and can be held responsible for the things you said that you didn’t intend to say. Actually, you’ve said a few things that needed to be said. Now, you can go back to being dignified again! Need some reassuring advice in these difficult times? For valuable guidance, call your latest four-minute forecast: 0906 751 5611.

PISCES Feb 20 — Mar 20

PISCEANS are rarely described as being stubborn. You’re normally happy to go with the flow. But not always — only when there’s justification. Sometimes, when there’s something worth fighting for, you’re more than capable of digging your heels in. You never antagonise anyone into fighting, though. This week, if something feels wrong, it needs to be put right. You’re going to have to stay vigilant and focused, and if an uncharacteristic tenacity is required, you’re just the person to call.
