My daily horoscope: What does February 9th bring for MY star sign? Oscar Cainer tells all

Tomorrow is the 90th anniversary of the first singing telegram. Ever since we’ve been able to send long-distance messages, there’s been a desire to communicate in quirky and amusing ways. But as Mercury prepares to leave the shadow of its retrogradation, its links with Saturn and Mars ask us to get serious and share important issues. If we speak from the heart, key messages will be understood.

ARIES 

March 21 – April 20

We know how it goes… if we’re good-hearted citizens in this world, when it’s our time to leave it behind, we’ll be met by St Peter, who’ll look up our name to see whether we’ve earned the right to go to Heaven. And Lord help us if we’ve been bad. The hot, fiery place awaits! But what happens to the people who’ve been good and bad? Surely that’s most of us? Who gets to make the decision about where we’re going to spend eternity? Leave judging to other people today. Being your most kind self will bring rewards.

TAURUS

April 21- May 21

Oil spillages at sea have farreaching repercussions. In some instances, the ocean can be contaminated for thousands of miles — with disastrous consequences for the wildlife. Deeply unfortunate though this is, it neatly illustrates why it can do more harm than good to pour oil on troubled waters. But a little trouble can go a very long way and do a lot of damage. That’s all you need to remember. You have the power to influence a troublesome situation. Your wisdom and calm can make a world of difference.

GEMINI

May 22 – June 22

It’s hard to get on with other people when we don’t feel good about ourselves. If we feel vulnerable, nervous or doubtful, we tend to project these emotions unconsciously. And, if not careful, then blame those ‘other people’ for scant progress. As Mercury, your ruler, leaves its shadow and links with Saturn and Mars, your confidence returns. It’ll let you change the relationship dynamics to establish your influence and power. This connection can bring success. 

You know what you need to change. You can make it happen. Your week-ahead forecast contains important advice. Call 0906 751 5603.

CANCER

June 23 – July 23

Years ago, before the invention of inbuilt GPS systems, someone broke into my car and made off with my satnav. These things happen. I was irritated, but not particularly upset. It’s OK, I thought, I’ll just prop my phone up and make do. Back then, before sophisticated integration software, as I approached a critical turnoff, my phone rang, the map disappeared and I took the wrong motorway exit! If you’ve been relying on outside advice recently, it’s time to start trusting your own inner navigator. 

There are reasons to feel positive. If you want good news, call for your latest, in-depth, four-minute forecast: 0906 751 5604.

LEO

July 24 – August 23

We don’t win arguments by shouting the loudest, nor by giving the most enlightened account of the issues at stake. Some people are natural storytellers. They can give an eloquent, coherent breakdown of any situation. But that doesn’t mean they’ve got things right, or they’re speaking the truth. You feel disadvantaged by someone’s knowledge: they always seem to be one step ahead. Today, you can change this power dynamic. Don’t explain yourself. Remember, actions speak louder than words.

VIRGO

August 24 – September 23

After your recent starring role in a drama, you definitely deserve some recognition and applause. We all need to pat ourselves on the back sometimes — and you don’t always get the credit you deserve. But when you’ve played such an important part, it’s easy to overlook the other characters involved. We’re never the only actor on life’s stage. There’s always someone else sharing the limelight or working behind the scenes. Someone has been a source of great support. Don’t forget they deserve a pat on the back, too.

LIBRA 

September 24 – October 23  

Sometimes it’s best to keep your cards close to your chest. When in a high-stakes poker game, you need to keep your hand hidden so you can bluff and confuse your opponents. But you’re dealing with an evolving situation and, rather than trying to succeed alone, you realise you need some support. It’s time to put your cards on the table. Take someone into your confidence and they’ll add their hand to yours. Together you’ll be more powerful; a potential winning combination. 

You know what you need to change. You can make it happen. Your week-ahead forecast contains important advice. Call 0906 751 5607.

SCORPIO 

October 24 – November 22

Is there a problem with the way someone’s handling a situation? Becoming aware that a difficulty exists is the first step on the way towards resolving it. But then you need to do something. To create change we have to take constructive steps. Sometimes, this involves communicating with the people who have created the problem. That might require you to be friendly and forgiving. You might need to dust off your halo and be as compassionate and patient as you can be. But you’ll get the right result. 

There are reasons to feel positive. If you want good news, call for your latest, in-depth, four-minute forecast: 0906 751 5608.

SAGITTARIUS

November 23 – December 21

We all know the oath that binds witnesses in a court of law. They swear to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Imagine how different our world would be if we all lived under that promise. No more deceit or deception, profiteering nor misunderstanding. But no more little white lies or spared feelings, either. At times, it’s appropriate (even compassionate) to slightly obfuscate the facts. Be aware of someone’s insecurities today. Your sensitive judgment is called for.

CAPRICORN

December 22 – January 20

We’ve all been through loneliness and a sense of isolation. We all know how it feels to be in a room full of people, yet somehow separate. We all yearn to be loved and part of a community. If you’ve felt a need for company, or a desire to enlarge your social network, it’s time to act. As Mercury (communication) leaves its shadow and links with your ruler, Saturn, and dynamic Mars, it gives you the enthusiasm and confidence to try out new possibilities. Mutually beneficial interactions await.

AQUARIUS

January 21 –  February 19

Social protocols are strange customs. In the UK, the act of offering visitors a cup of tea or coffee is almost obligatory. The usual reply is ‘only if it’s not too much trouble’. And when asked which beverage we’d prefer, we say, ‘whichever you’re making’. These codes might seem silly, but they’re useful. They enable everyone to relax. If you find you must stick to protocol today, know that it helps you to form relationships. You won’t have to play the game for long. 

You know what you need to change. You can make it happen. Your week-ahead forecast contains important advice. Call 0906 751 5611. 

PISCES 

February 20 – March 20

‘All you need is love’. We know the song and like the sentiment behind it. Yet we’re also aware of the other things we need — like money, food and a roof over our heads. Some people seem convinced that all they need is a healthy bank balance. Others insist we need a different political solution. And there are those who say that the more you feel you need something other than what you have, the further away you are from feeling fulfilled. So maybe love is all we need. With Venus in your sign, you’re about to find out. 

There are reasons to feel positive. If you want good news, call for your latest, in-depth, four-minute forecast: 0906 751 5612.
