What do birthday boy Jay-Z and I have in common? No, we haven’t both dated Beyoncé! I’ll give you a clue; it’s to do with word counts.
I try to write each zodiac prediction to the same approximate length. And 99 words is the magic number I always aim for.
Today, with my cousin Jemima Cainer (Jonathan’s daughter) taking the reins, I’m confident that creating 99 words won’t create 99 problems for her!
ARIES
March 21 – April 20
You’re no stranger to danger. But does that mean (as some people seem to think) that you seek thrills at all costs? Are you really some kind of daredevil who enjoys non-stop drama? Deep down, part of you appreciates life’s quieter moments too, if only to enhance the excitement of those times when you push yourself to the limit. That’s why you work so hard to create a world where you can achieve this contrast! Today, the cosmos encourages you to focus on your heart’s truest desires. Don’t shy away from that challenge.

TAURUS
April 21 – May 21
Today, as your ruling planet Venus moves into sensitive, sensually stimulating Scorpio, are you supposed to perform some burlesque? Only if you wish! Are you about to experience a sudden shift in your romantic life? Only if that’s what you truly desire. Your life’s unlikely to turn into some kind of Moulin Rouge montage today. But changes are coming to rock your world. This is the start of a process of rediscovering what you’re passionate about. Are you ready to move towards a future offering tantalising, meaningful fulfilment?

GEMINI
May 22 – June 22
Geminis are often accused (rather unfairly IMHO) of being a little bit ‘Peter Pan’. This label is applied with no consideration for the fact that Peter Pan’s circumstances made it almost impossible to become an adult. As the leader of the lost boys, how could he let them down by giving in and getting all grownup and sensible! You’re very aware of your responsibilities to others: and of your ability to lead with a light touch and a sense of humour. Today, don’t bow down to any demands to be too serious. Making things fun gets results.

CANCER
June 23 – July 23
Our intuition resides in the space between our thoughts and our dreams. It’s so well hidden that some people never find it. And some folk are so wary of its powers they’ll do anything to avoid its whispers. Maybe they think that if they listen, they’ll realise they’re not fulfilling their potential; yet that’s only ever an invitation to change, not a criticism. But you’re a sensitive soul. You’re not afraid to listen to your inner voice of wisdom, and let it guide you… are you? Today, the less you try to control things, the more empowered you’ll be.

LEO
July 24 – August 23
Mondays are all well and good until we remember last week’s promise to start implementing changes ‘on Monday’. On those kinds of Mondays, the following days seem to enjoy surprising us with everything we forgot we’d put off! The problem with delaying things is that the illusion of having less-to-do only lasts for so long. Be kind to the ‘you’ who promised to start doing things differently today. And prioritise the necessities. After all, there are plenty of other days in the week. And another Monday will arrive soon enough!

VIRGO
August 24 – September 23
Have you got everything on your to-do list sorted? Are you ahead with your work, balancing the needs of friends/family, and making time to work on yourself’? Come to think of it, how is your laundry pile?! The problem with trying to do it all, all at once, is that when the reality of how many hours there are in the day hits, you manage to turn it into ‘your fault’. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, let yourself off the hook today, and relax! You’re a human being, and a precious one too. The washing can wait. The world will keep turning.

LIBRA
September 24 – October 23
As Venus, your ruler, transited your sign it gifted you with the insight you need to be able to rebalance your world. I’m not expecting you to have everything sorted! Life isn’t a puzzle to be solved. It’s a masterpiece curated from your experiences. Born under the sign of the scales, you’re keenly aware of the need for fairness. In this crazy world (where life is often anything but) that’s a tough position to hold. A little wobble today doesn’t indicate a big problem. It’s a reminder of your wonderful humanity. Be kind to yourself.

SCORPIO
October 24 – November 22
Sometimes, when we grow slowly, we don’t notice when an item/situation no longer fits. It’s easy to make small adjustments to accommodate our changes: a longer hem, or a loosened stitch doesn’t seem like much. Eventually though, we can hit a moment when continuing to patch things up is no longer appropriate. We end up with a different garment to the one we started with. Venus makes her way into your sign today and brings the gift of fresh perspective. Letting go of what no longer works doesn’t mean losing out.

SAGITTARIUS
November 23 – December 21
Adventurous spirits are often considered to be difficult. Until their ideas bear fruit. Then, the people who’ve been disapproving clamour to climb the very ladder they insisted would lead to disappointment. Few of us are comfortable taking a risk. Until we see it’s safe. And at that point, of course, the risk is diminished! Being the first to dare to do something different isn’t easy. The world around you seem to want you to fail in order validate their mindsets. But if you look closely today, you’ll see you’ve got more support than you realise.

CAPRICORN
December 22 – January 20
When I imagined becoming a parent, images of happy moments filled my mind. I was naive enough to think I’d be in control. And I was prepared for much more ‘eating potato waffles and watching cartoons’ than ‘dealing with nappies and existential crises’! But without the latter, would we ever be able to appreciate the simplicity of the first scenario? Can we enjoy moments of calm without the contrast of challenge? Today, try letting go of what you can’t control and look for goodness against the backdrop of any problems. It’s there.

AQUARIUS
January 21 – February 19
Why are we all determined to be right? Surely, we know that being wrong about something enables us to learn an important lesson? On the other hand, being determined to do things incorrectly, despite our better judgement, is undeniably foolish. You’re no fool. A problem today helps you remember your potential to make progress. You’ve already got many moments of education in your metaphorical toolkit. So, you’re perfectly equipped to adapt to a change of plans… and be gracious with those who don’t know better yet.

PISCES
February 20 – March 20
Does coating fruit in chocolate negate the goodness of what’s beneath the sweet exterior? Surely, if it encourages us to consume more vitamin-filled earth treasure, it can’t be that bad for us? And isn’t chocolate made from plants? Of course, the logic of this argument (like the situation you’re dealing with) only goes so far. A little of what we fancy is good for us. But too much can lead to aching teeth and be detrimental to progress. Today, as Venus moves into the intense sign of Scorpio, try not to indulge in too many temptations.
