OSCAR CAINER
OVER this weekend, Venus and Mars enter a tense relationship. If they were a couple, it would be a lover’s tiff.
Not the kind of row that causes crockery to smash, more along the lines of a strong word or two and then a frank exchange of views. As children of the zodiac, it’s not their actual relationship that needs to concern us.
It’s more how their rapport affects us.
They’re encouraging us to take positive steps, and show them why we deserve their love, kindness and care.
ARIES Mar21—Apr20 AS Shakespeare said, ‘All the world’s a stage.’ We are actors, and our lives are a performance. We all receive applause sometimes, and criticism at others. And, it’s easy to look with envy when we see others receiving accolades. But what’s going on backstage, for even the most revered amongst us, is certainly less glamorous than we imagine. As Venus makes a tricky link to your ruler, focus on your strengths instead of making comparisons. You’re at your best when you’re true to who you are. The sky is positively charged with astrological promise. For your LATEST inspiring guide to the week ahead, call 1550 511 611.
TAURUS Apr21—May21 A PART of your life is feeling a little more safe and secure. About time too! But, just before you sit down to relax and watch your favourite box set, the cosmos brings a development to challenge you. Are peace and prosperity to be so short-lived? Actually, by calling on your inner strengths and new-found self-awareness, this will merely underline and promote your growth. With clarity and kindness as your companions this weekend, you can move to an even stronger position. The sky is positively charged with astrological promise. For your LATEST inspiring guide to the week ahead, call 1550 511 611.
GEMINI May22—June22 WE enjoy observing other people’s mishaps and adventures. Their lives are fascinating and, with celebrity status awarded at the drop of a hat, intimate moments — that should be private — are splashed in magazines and websites for us all to see. So it’s hardly surprising that we think other folk’s lives are more interesting than our own. The situation you’re dealing with is unique to you. There’s no need to make a comparison with anyone. Be confident in yourself. The sky is positively charged with astrological promise. For your LATEST inspiring guide to the week ahead, call 1550 511 611.
CANCER June23—July23 THERE’S been a revival of the The Crystal Maze. It’s a TV game show where contestants, aided by teammates, complete crazy challenges to win crystals. I love it when one of the helpers shouts, ‘Get the crystal!’ What a great phrase to use when you’re telling someone to do something obvious that they’re already doing. Yesterday, we talked about daring to be vulnerable. That’s a bit like daring a chicken to cluck! Yet the reason for saying it will become crystal clear this weekend. The sky is positively charged with astrological promise. For your LATEST inspiring guide to the week ahead, call 1550 511 611.
LEO July24—Aug23 YESTERDAY, we talked of how you’ve grown. There is, of course, a difference between growth and change. A pip may seem mightily different from an apple tree, but it comes from the same energy. The fruit they produce provides a useful case study, as every tree bears apples that taste different to its parent tree’s fruit. You don’t need to abandon your rich traditions. Nor does everything have to taste the same. There are some interesting ideas and flavours to explore this weekend. The sky is positively charged with astrological promise.

VIRGO Aug24—Sep23 YOU’RE surrounded by supportive people. But, just because you’re close to someone doesn’t mean you’ll agree on everything. This weekend brings a surprising moment of discord. Rest assured, all that’s needed is an open-hearted discussion. What initially appears to be an unpleasant disagreement can become grounds for a strong alliance. You may even look back on these interactions with fondness. Especially if you learn from them, and take steps in the right direction. The sky is positively charged with astrological promise.

LIBRA Sep 24 — Oct 23 SOMETIMES, an issue arises that we can’t shake off. Even if we can shift it from the forefront of our minds, we’re left fidgety. Whether it’s playing with your hair, or drumming your fingers, that nervous tick seems to be back. This weekend, something doesn’t feel quite right. Whether you know the cause, or can’t put your finger on it, don’t be tempted to spend hours questioning what it means. That’s not time well spent. There’s a straightforward solution. Try to meet it head on. The sky is positively charged with astrological promise. For your LATEST inspiring guide to the week ahead, call 1550 511 611.
SCORPIO Oct24—Nov22 IF we choose to enjoy life, we enjoy it. If we long for a break and some telly time, it’s a different thing entirely when we find ourselves stuck in bed, with only a screen for company — even when TV marathons rank high on our list of ‘indulgent things to do’. Free choice is precious. We cherish it more than we realise. This weekend, a situation arises which causes you to contemplate not ‘what you’re objecting to’ but ‘why you’re objecting’. The more influence you have, the better you’re going to feel. The sky is positively charged with astrological promise. For your LATEST inspiring guide to the week ahead, call 1550 511 611.
SAGITTARIUS Nov 23 — Dec 21 VENUS recently moved into your opposite sign, making your powers of persuasion particularly powerful. You don’t need to be the negotiator in a complex hostage situation to take advantage of your skills … you can use them with your nearest and dearest this weekend. Someone has been sapping your energy recently. As Venus and Mars link forces, you can renegotiate this relationship so that it works for both of you.
Clarity will move you forward. The sky is positively charged with astrological promise. For your LATEST inspiring guide to the week ahead, call 1550 511 611.
CAPRICORN Dec 22 — Jan 20 EVERYTHING in life is relative. We know we’re happy because we’re not sad. We know we’re secure because we’re not anxious. And sometimes, we find ourselves on a destructive spiral, constantly seeking difficult experiences in an attempt to make the good things shine more brightly. But a greater contrast doesn’t lead to greater happiness. You’ve been feeling confined, and may be tempted to push at anything that you feel is restricting you this weekend. A subtle solution will present itself. The sky is positively charged with astrological promise. For your LATEST inspiring guide to the week ahead, call 1550 511 611.
AQUARIUS find Jan 21 — Feb 19 YOU yourself at a junction, with different routes stretching out in front of you. Are you wishing away your options? Wouldn’t it be easier with just one clear path to follow? The irony is that sometimes, a single road feels restrictive and you’d give anything for an alternative. There’s no getting away from making a decision this weekend. If a solution seems too simple, then it’s probably because it’s correct. Taking the easy option will lead you to a delightful destination. The sky is positively charged with astrological promise. For your LATEST inspiring guide to the week ahead, call 1550 511 611.
PISCES a big Feb 20 — Mar 20 THERE’S difference between travelling in a car with a well-oiled, fully serviced engine, and limping along in an old banger. The difference is even more pronounced if one vehicle has GPS, and the other relies on a tatty, coffee-stained map. Either way, you’ve got somewhere to get to. And, when you’re making headway of sorts, it’s hard to swap progress for consolidation. But this weekend, consider how much better it would be if you made some fundamental upgrades. You deserve a little comfort. The sky is positively charged with astrological promise. For your LATEST inspiring guide to the week ahead, call 1550 511 611.
