OSCAR CAINER

YEARS ago, when I worked at a record store, we stayed late for stocktakes, counting products to ensure we reordered what was needed. Inventory discrepancies came to light, but they weren’t our focus; the task was to ensure the business thrived. Following Mercury’s arrival at the separating Great Conjunction, we’re invited to take stock. Rather than worrying about losses, we must focus on change that promotes growth.

ARIES Mar 21 - Apr 20 YOU don’t need to be religious to know that whoever wrote The Bible had an astute understanding of human nature. Just look at the forbidden fruit; the author of that particular story understood that in order to make something seem alluring, you simply have to ban it. Anyone with an inquisitive mind and an adventuring spirit is unable to resist. Yet, just because life is filled with what-not-to-dos, doesn’t mean that you can’t have a safe, but satisfyingly pleasing time. For surprisingly encouraging news about your prospects in 2021, call your year-ahead forecasts: 1550 511 611.

TAURUS Apr 21 - May 21 WHY would anyone ever take a leap of faith? Why bother with a risk that might shake up your life? Surely there’s little point in defying the voice of reason and embarking on a crazy idea? In exasperating times such as these, it’s no wonder we sometimes feel as if we have nothing to lose. Yet, while it’s essential to stick within the current guidelines, you’re being offered a cosmic opportunity to take a psychological step into new territory. A rewarding discovery awaits. Things will go well. There’s hope on your horizon in 2021. To hear the news in your yearahead predictions, call 1550 511 611.

GEMINI May 22 - June 22 SUPPOSE I’ve decided not to tell you something in case it makes you upset. And your perceptive Gemini mind has sensed that I’m withholding something from you. Inevitably, you won’t trust what I’m saying, and your attention will focus elsewhere. Then I’ll assume that, since you don’t seem to be committed to hearing about what’s going on, I’d better not risk telling you what’s happening. Useful dialogue involves honesty. You need to be truthful. But be tactful and diplomatic, too. There’s good reason to be optimistic. Things can work out well in 2021. Call your year-ahead forecasts: 1550 511 611.

CANCER June 23 - July 23 YOU can be tougher than people think. You’re no pushover and, unless your sensitivity causes you to empathise with someone else’s plight, you don’t let people take advantage of you. When you choose to hide behind your tough exterior, you’re able to ignore other people’s difficulties and focus on what you want to do. There’s no pressure on you to get involved. Yet, if you allow yourself to be inspired, and intervene, you can help bring about a transformational change. 2021 will be much better than you think. Find the best way to make it a year to remember. Call 1550 511 611.

LEO July 24 - Aug 23 ALTHOUGH some people use an aggressive approach to ‘persuade’ others to do what they want them to do, it’s a technique that comes with limitations. Even when it seems to be successful, it garners a feeling of resentment that will eventually manifest. A more surefire way for one to encourage someone to accept something involves carefully and considerately explaining one’s needs. Today, if you use your gentle, generous side, you can inspire a lasting improvement in someone’s attitude. Want to know what 2021 has in store?

VIRGO Aug 24 - Sep 23 YOU set yourself an ambitious target some time ago, and the pressure is building. It seems you can’t relax and get comfortable until you’ve achieved your goal. If this is inspiring you to accomplish good things, there’s no reason to stop. But, as soon as it starts to impinge on your happiness, or peace of mind, then it’s time to let yourself off the hook. You’re already doing more than enough. Don’t push harder than you need to. At the very least, a rest will give you more energy to continue. The cosmos is on your side in 2021. Find out how you can benefit from the luck and fortune it brings. Call 1550 511 611.

LIBRA Sep 24 - Oct 23 IMAGINE what might have happened if you’d turned left, instead of right. Or if you’d made this decision instead of that one. Would your life be better? And, if so, have you made some kind of mistake that you’ll be forever trying to rectify? Of course not. What’s more, with this kind of thinking, every little problem starts to look as if it’s going to turn into a bigger one. But, as you’re about to see, that’s not what’s happening. You can find a way to resolve an issue that seems to be full of difficulty. Let 2021 bring the changes you desire. For encouraging news, call your year-ahead forecasts: 1550 511 611.

SCORPIO Oct 24 - Nov 22 I DON’T want to upset any animal lovers but, back in the day, magicians used to pull rabbits out of hats all the time. With a mere wave of their wands, they went to great lengths of deception to make the poor creature’s appearance look like magic. Yet, while tricks are only magical until we understand how they’re done, sometimes, life presents us with a delightful surprise that has no apparent explanation. When something surprising appears in your life, don’t question why. Enjoy it. For news to help you make 2021 the year your dreams come true, call your year-ahead forecasts: 1550 511 611.

SAGITTARIUS Nov 23 - Dec 21 IF ALL the world’s a stage, and we’re merely the players, are we just waiting for a cosmological playwright to give us the script? Although there’s no denying Shakespeare’s genius, even his reach didn’t extend to every corner of our globe. Perhaps the endless cacophony of difficulties we’re dealing with is caused by the fact that we’re still only guessing how our roles will play out. In your own particular corner of the world, you have the power to write peace and kindness into your day. 2021 holds great potential for you. Get it off to a great start with your forecasts for the coming year. Call 1550 511 611.

CAPRICORN Dec 22 - Jan 20 DOES anyone ever hear our prayers? And does their response vary depending on how well we say them? Do people from different religions get different results? Presumably, even those who talk to the same deity have individual definitions that might not be the same as other folks’. Surely all prayers are personal. Surely, too, they go to (and come from) a place beyond our understanding. The celestial helpers are on your side. Today brings reassurance that your requests aren’t falling on deaf ears. Gain power over your future. 2021’s New Moon, in your sign, brings a chance to transform your life. Call 1550 511 611.

AQUARIUS Jan 21 - Feb 19 MEMORY is famously imprecise and selective; we’re very good at erasing those that cause us pain. These form a vast spectrum; from the mild irritations caused by the frustrations of a long to-do list, to actual physical distress. Whilst this ability is undoubtedly a necessary part of our survival techniques, there are times when a trigger from the past over-exaggerates a current anxiety so that we overlook the good components life brings. A welcome sense of perspective is on its way. Make your dreams come true in 2021. Let this week’s New Moon lead you towards success. Call 1550 511 611.

PISCES Feb 20 - Mar 20 EVERY day offers you chances to become more proficient at the mysterious art of enjoying existence on this spinning ball of rock.

Success is a matter of trusting that this is true, and dealing, to the best of our abilities, with any challenges. Don’t deprive yourself of happiness by giving in to doubts. Start 2021 with optimism and hope. Don’t miss your year-ahead forecasts. For inspiring news, call 1550 511 611.
