OSCAR CAINER

OVER the next few days the ‘Romance Planets’ Venus and Mars form an unusual alignment with taboo-breaking Pluto. That is likely to indicate a growing appreciation of how a carefully-controlled budget is more effective than throwing money at our favourite causes. But regardless of the contents of our basket we can look forward to the arrival of unexpected and exciting gifts.

ARIES Mar 21 - Apr 20 AS YOUR ruler links with Venus and Pluto, your value to other people is being emphasised. Since you’ve been struggling with a challenging dilemma, and feeling short of support recently, you’d give a lot to have a little understanding. Yet, there are people around you who not only recognise the work you’re doing, but are keen to lend you a hand. Set your expectations high rather than low. The support you need is no less than you deserve...and it’s available to you today.

What a month! As Mercury moves across the face of the Sun, it brings potential for positive change. Call 0906 751 5601.

TAURUS Apr 21 - May 21 LET’S imagine that you’re in the passenger seat of a taxi, and the taxi driver is attempting to reverse uphill, around a tricky corner. From your position, you’ve got a clear view (which they don’t have) of an upcoming wall. Would you stay politely schtum, not wanting to be seen as a back-seat driver? Or calmly make sure they’ve spotted the potential danger? Would it be your fault if you stayed silent and they ended up bumping the car? Speaking your truth helps other people, as well as you.

GEMINI May 22 - June 22 THEY tell us that when we smile ‘the whole world smiles with us’, and that when we cry, ‘we cry alone’. They’re almost certainly correct about the first part of the phrase. As for the second part, when we keep our sadness to ourselves and suffer in silence, how can we expect anyone to sympathise with us? It’s also true that if we’re vociferous about the negative things going on in the world, we quickly find other people who enjoy a good moan. Stick with smiling today!

CANCER June 23 - July 23 THE majority of people who don’t like curry are possibly put off by its heat rather than the blend of flavours. Perhaps their taste buds are more sensitive, and the spiciness overwhelms the subtle fragrances which others might label tasteless and bland. The same can be said of our

personal experiences. We need contrasts and extremes. No one wants to feel the stress of a heated drama and we all enjoy the surprise of something sweet. An event today will be perfectly to your taste.

LEO July 24 - Aug 23 HOW did we ever find our way anywhere without sat-navs? Since they’re the easy way to ensure we make it from A to B, it’s hard not to use them. It’s so irritating when that mechanical voice tells us to turn right or left, when we’ve decided to overrule its instructions isn’t it? It can be hard to ignore; especially when we’re feeling uncertain. Although you’re confident in your mind about the direction you’re heading in, your heart has another option. Don’t ignore that inner voice today.

VIRGO Aug 24 - Sep 23 ALTHOUGH it’s wise to save things for a rainy day, no one needs a vast collection of umbrellas. Unless, of course, you’re planning on selling them the next time there’s a heavy downpour. Yet it might be more profitable to invest in the certainty of uncertainty. You could rent out space to folk who feel uncertain about what the weather’s going to do, and want somewhere to keep items that will protect them! Although someone around you is insecure, you don’t have to feel that way today.

LIBRA Sep 24 - Oct 23 IT’S TIME to stop worrying and think instead of how much worse things could be. Rather than focusing on the here and now imagine, for a moment, what would happen if some of the things you thought were OK started to go pear-shaped. Now stop! Those are the thoughts that you need to get out of your head. You’ve been inadvertently focusing on doom and gloom. That negativity has simply got to go. You need to think about how brilliant things could be — it’s far more likely anyway!

SCORPIO Oct 24 - Nov 22 A GENERAL who is rather indecisive isn’t likely to see much battlefield success. Victory relies on the kind of aggression that comes with utter conviction. You can’t charge headlong in, while wondering if there’s been a big misunderstanding. Likewise, we sometimes have to lay doubt aside in order to devote ourselves wholeheartedly to a cause. Before you manage to make a final commitment today, give yourself one last moment to consider why you’re doing what you’re doing. You have a high chance of success.

SAGITTARIUS Nov 23 - Dec 21 HOW lucky are you? With Venus, the planet of love (and luck), newly in your sign, we need to answer that question carefully. After all, since the potential to be lucky is ever present, how can we sometimes have more of it? Luck doesn’t take sides, or make judgments; it leaves that to us. And we’re prone to thinking negatively about the amount of fortune we have available to us. Yet, you’re an optimistic Sagittarian. You know about being lucky. So be at your most positive now! What a month! As Mercury moves across the face of the Sun, it brings potential for positive change. Call 0906 751 5609.

CAPRICORN Dec 22 - Jan 20 SUPPOSE something goes wrong? But suppose it doesn’t? What if someone’s unhappy? Well, what if they’re not? How does the worst-case scenario look? Although ignoring the possibility of problems is foolhardy, so too is over-preparing for a catastrophe that may never happen. When we put too many safety measures in place, we can find ourselves enabling the very outcome we’re trying to avoid. Since expectations have a rather funny way of coming into being, focus on the positive.

AQUARIUS Jan 21 - Feb 19 YOU feel as if you’ve been abandoned by the good guys and left behind with folk who you’re struggling to trust. Who can you reliably turn to for advice? Will anyone listen, let alone care? As Venus settles into a new sign, your doubts about someone (or a group of people) come to the fore. When we feel as if we’re on the edge, the outsider, it’s normal to project our fears and reinforce our insecurities. Yet, as you’re about to see, you’re becoming part of something that suits you very well.

PISCES Feb 20 - Mar 20 IT WAS the poet Alexander Pope who wrote that ‘to err is human; to forgive, divine’. Interestingly, he didn’t say anything about ‘forgetting’. Perhaps he understood that wiping something from our memory isn’t always possible. Although some things slip out of our minds almost as soon as they’ve entered them, other things stick like treacle. As Venus settles into a new sign, you can be generous about a past mistake. You might not be able to forget it; but you can move on.
