OSCAR CAINER

THE ‘sesquiquadrate’ angle between Jupiter and Uranus may involve tension, but it’s the kind of energy that inspires positive action too. As long as we exercise a modicum of control, it will lead to healthy progress. So, as the Sun heads towards its convergence with Pluto tomorrow, the timing is perfect. We’re being offered the tools to influence the power available so that situations can be turned to our advantage. Whatever unexpected avenue we find ourselves in, we can use it to get to where we need to be.

ARIES Mar 21 — Apr 20

NO WONDER we have a negative reaction when we hear the words ‘if I were you’. People seem to love telling each other what to do; yet no one has a clue what it’s like to be anyone but themselves. Watch out today for advice that is well meant but ill conceived. No one knows your capabilities better than you. The cosmic energies are encouraging you to trust your judgment when you come to assess what’s possible and what’s not. Don’t let yourself be talked out of a brilliant idea. Good news! Your forecast for 2019 is ready! To find out about all the exciting possibilities in store, call 1550 511 611.

TAURUS Apr 21 — May 21

SOME folk are convinced that we’re all doomed to ‘go to hell in a handcart’. Surely, if they’re right, though, a better, more efficient method of transport could be found. A comfortable limousine perhaps, or an SUV. Perhaps, then, with the help of a good quality onboard navigation system, and since we know the way to Hell, we could set the Satnav for the opposite direction and aim for Heaven instead. The Jupiter and Uranus link brings the chance for you to make a choice which makes a big difference. Your four-minute forecast for 2019 is ready. It’s going to be a much better year than you think. Find out more. Call 1550 511 611.

GEMINI May 22 — June 22

HOW would you like to have a foolproof, reliable way to win an argument? Okay. Listen carefully. If you follow these simple steps, no one will be able to beat you at one ever again. Just don’t start one! That’s all there is to it. There’s nothing else you need to know. To begin an argument is immediately to lose far more than you stand to gain. If you truly believe in your point of view, there’s no need to defend it with gusto. The truth speaks for itself. Make your case clearly and firmly, then step back. Good news! Your forecast for 2019 is ready! To find out about all the exciting possibilities in store, call 1550 511 611.

CANCER June 23 — July 23

THERE’S an old saying: ‘What goes up, must come down.’ But what happens to the things that go down? Well, nothing lasts forever. Your past abandoned hopes and dreams, which are mere echoes in your mind, don’t need to be sources of disappointment any longer. Jupiter and Uranus bring an opportunity to reflect in a creative way about a recent source of regret. You’ve had to let go of an idea that once inspired you. Yet, something that caused you pain can now become a source of satisfaction. Your fourminute forecast for 2019 is ready. It’s going to be a much better year than you think. Find out more. Call 1550 511 611.

LEO July 24 — Aug 23

THERE are times in our lives when no stone should be left unturned and when every avenue needs to be explored. Anything that can be done, must be done. In such situations, even the most outlandish possibilities should be investigated. Yet, nevertheless, there needs to be a system of prioritisation. Inevitably, some things are more likely to be successful than others. These should be addressed first. So, start with what’s obvious today — and don’t stop looking until you’ve found what you’re searching for. Good news! Your forecast for 2019 is ready! To find out about all the exciting possibilities in store, call 1550 511 611.

VIRGO Aug 24 — Sep 23

IT’S all too easy for you to find fault and level criticism at yourself. In fact, you’re an expert at it. It doesn’t take much to go ‘wrong’ before you start disapproving of your own actions and decisions. We all tend to accuse ourselves of messing things up, and then take ourselves to our own court where we’re harshly judged and punished for our mistakes. Today, the cosmos brings you a message of forgiveness. Give yourself as much of it as you can. You can share what’s left over with anyone else! Your four-minute forecast for 2019 is ready. It’s going to be a much better year than you think. Find out more. Call 1550 511 611.

LIBRA Sep 24 — Oct 23

THE MORE highly paid someone is, the greater the tendency to create an aura of complication around their work. That’s when jargon starts to creep in . . . there are times when it can be used to help maintain the illusion of uniqueness. Perhaps a more useful question to ask is not about how much information people have, but how pragmatic they are about applying that information in everyday life. The cosmos suggests you have all the skills you need in order to sort out an irritating problem. Good news! Your forecast for 2019 is ready! To find out about all the exciting possibilities in store, call 1550 511 611.

SCORPIO Oct 24 — Nov 22

WE OFTEN find it challenging to assert our authority without appearing to be too forceful or bossy. When you’re called, today, to take a firm stand in a delicate situation, will you be able to exude the calm confidence which inspires collaboration? You’re certainly capable of responding in this way. You have the sensitivity and awareness needed to take control of a challenge and gently (but firmly) say exactly what needs to be said and do what needs to be done. Use your natural skills, and success awaits. Your four-minute forecast for 2019 is ready. It’s going to be a much better year than you think. Find out more. Call 1550 511 611.

SAGITTARIUS Nov 23 — Dec 21

WHEN a thing happens all the time, we presume that it will stay that way, and adapt our plans accordingly. When that thing is undesirable, we try to change it and, if that fails, do our best to adopt a more positive attitude. If, though, it’s something positive, we do well when we remember to be grateful for all it brings. On the basis of previous experiences, you’re bracing for a disappointment. Yet your ruler’s link with Uranus suggests that you might be pleasantly surprised, instead. Good news! Your forecast for 2019 is ready! To find out about all the exciting possibilities in store, call 1550 511 611.

CAPRICORN Dec 22 — Jan 20

I’D LIKE you to imagine that you’ve been transported back in time and that you find yourself walking in an area that you recognise as familiar. You haven’t walked along this road for a long time and you’re feeling uncertain about which way to go. When you reach a turning with no signposts and no one to ask for directions, what are you going to do? Should you tentatively carry on? Or take the turning, trusting your intuition that it’s the right path? Your instincts will guide you well today. Your four-minute forecast for 2019 is ready. It’s going to be a much better year than you think. Find out more. Call 1550 511 611.

AQUARIUS Jan 21 — Feb 19

WHEN you have everything to gain, it doesn’t follow that you have nothing to lose. There’s always one thing that, no matter what, you must hang on to — something that, when all else is lost, will give you a viable hand to play on life’s poker table. It might be a long-held dream which you can’t bear to consign to the realm of the impossible. You don’t need to extend yourself beyond your material means today. But, in your emotional world, if nothing’s risked, nothing’s gained. Be brave! Good news! Your forecast for 2019 is ready! To find out about all the exciting possibilities in store, call 1550 511 611.

PISCES Feb 20 — Mar 20

THERE’S an expression, ‘that’s how the cookie crumbles’. If something doesn’t work out as well as we’d hoped that it would, we can sometimes manage to be philosophical about it. But what does it mean? Millions of euro are spent employing food scientists to study the nature of baking. I’m pretty sure they know exactly what happens to biscuits under all sorts of different circumstances! The energy of Jupiter and Uranus increases the probability of something unlikely working in your favour today. Your four-minute forecast for 2019 is ready. It’s going to be a much better year than you think. Find out more. Call 1550 511 611.
