Horoscopes by Oscar Cainer
Thought for the day 18 July 2017
Yesterday, I mentioned that it was my Mother's birthday. But I neglected to say that, being a family-run astrological service, it's my mum who creates the accompanying illustrations that appear on my home web site cainer.com . I wonder what cartoon she'll create when she's the focus of its content? Will she take revenge for my gentle teasing of our relationship? I hope not! As Venus makes a harmonious relationship with Jupiter, it's time for hearts to open and flourish.
This week, Mercury forms a wonderful Grand Trine with Saturn and Uranus. That's the astrological equivalent of Popeye's spinach - it's a source of strength to be consumed and enjoyed - as long as you know where your can opener is! Where is that metaphorical can-opener? You'll find it in your Guide to the Future. For a couple more days there's a huge 25% discount. Download yours now!

Don't worry if this doesn't yet describe your mood. This kind of lack of restraint has its downsides. Just because you can break the mould doesn't mean you should. There are ways of forging ahead without leaving destruction in your path. Try to keep your bridges intact today.

Pisces
Feb 20 - Mar 20
Disagreements don't have to be divisive. Sometimes they bring people together. When we risk exposing our deepest feelings, we begin to understand folks' true characters. We might see eye to eye with someone, but we won't fully trust them until we've disagreed - even argued - and resolved the issue. You want to tell someone what they want to hear. But only by being honest will you build trust. You can sweeten the pill. But giving a truthful answer will help them more.

Aries
Mar 21 - Apr 20
It's almost impossible to tell if a change is good until you've given it enough time to see how it pans out. That doesn't mean you can't make informed decisions about altering things, though. Pros and cons can always be weighed up. Precedents can be reviewed. Past experiences are great learning tools, especially now that the context is different. The cosmos says you can now think of your life changing in the right way, for the right reasons. You'll find out that all works out right!

Taurus
Apr 21 - May 21
Be careful not to trip over any baskets of fruit today. And if the street looks emptier than usual, cast your gaze a little lower. See? Everyone's falling to the floor in reverence as you pass. Well metaphorically at least! Why? Well, they say that to err is human and to forgive is divine, and you're oozing with celestial potential. You face a choice. You can get angry about a situation and kick and scream, or you can take the softer approach. Do whichever feels most spiritually appropriate.

Gemini
May 22 - June 22
Some days are greater than others. We feel it instinctively - there's something intangible but undeniable in the air that tells us that we're destined for good things. Is this one of those days? Maybe. But, not if you just expect it to happen. The cosmos offers blessings... only when they need to be called for and acted upon. Venus, in your sign, is entering a harmonious relationship with Jupiter. This can bring your dreams close and enhance your chance of success. Enjoy, and take action.

You can't change your destination without turning the steering wheel. Actually, that's not quite true. We live on a giant ball. If we overshoot our destination and continue on the same path, eventually we end up back at our starting place. Then, getting back to our original state takes even more energy than reaching the original goal . It's possible that in striving for change now, you'll get more than you bargained for. But that doesn't mean you won't be happy with the result.

Jul 24 - Aug 23
Keep left on the escalator. Queue for the ticket gates. Wait for passengers to disembark before boarding. Thanks to rules like these, the world's underground rail systems run fairly smoothly. Rules are the enemies of chaos. Our own lives are governed by ones we establish for ourselves. They make the ins and outs of everyday life less messy. But rebelliousness runs through us for a reason. Sometimes the planets suggest we need to bend rules. Flexibility is your friend this week.

Virgo
Aug 24 - Sep 23
Even in a hurricane, when everything has been turned upside down, there's complete stillness in the eye of the storm. How can something so perfect exist among so much turbulence? This week, hold on to the fact that it's possible. Don't allow yourself to be dragged into an encroaching conflict. You're going to need to find your own point of stillness - whatever that may be, and allow the chaos to wash over you. You can emerge calm and unscathed on the other side.

Sep 24 - Oct 23
There's a fork in the road. I'm tempted to write two forecasts and ask you to choose. Path A suggests you're never going to change things unless you get fired up and confront someone to get what you want. Path B asks you to react with love and understanding, to turn potential disappointment into an opportunity. How are you going to decide? Here's a plan: look where you're going and remember what you want to achieve. Work backwards from there; the right way will appear.

Scorpio
Oct 24 - Nov 22
There's an old saying, 'a little of what you fancy does you good'. And that's true - when it's cake or TV. But the problem many of us have is that we're drawn to things that won't be good for us - even in small quantities! We often mistake danger for excitement; a rush of adrenaline for euphoria. Several exciting opportunities lie before you now. But are they exciting for the right reasons? Is the potential pay-off worth the risk? Wisdom and passion don't have to be mutually exclusive.

Sagittarius
Nov 23 - Dec 21
Is there a way to know if you're in the right place at the right time? Or if you've made the correct decision? The standard reply would be 'Of course! If you feel good about your situation, you've made the right choice'. But, really, this is seldom a guarantee. What makes us feel good at the time won't necessarily feel good in the future. Fortunately, there are times when life really is this straightforward. This is one of them. Do what feels right now; everything will turn out for the best.

Dec 22 - Jan 20
No one can be right all the time. It wouldn't be healthy. Often, more subtle aspects are involved - the satisfaction of taking part, helping others to achieve success, or simply trying to do your best. You don't have to pin your dreams on a victory any more. Suppose just taking part were enough to give you the psychological boost you need? If you pay attention to your accomplishments, you might even find it changes your future goals. They may be easier to achieve than you think.
