OSCAR CAINER

WE’RE in ‘awards season’. But although the big names get the attention, it’s often the teams working behind the scenes that are key to magical TV or film experiences. Today, as Mercury takes centre stage, it’s a good time to express appreciation for the unsung heroes in our lives. And as the Sun and Pluto prepare to merge, it’s by looking beneath the surface that we can tap into our own ‘star’ powers.

ARIES Mar 21 - Apr 20 THE tech giants are always releasing new versions of their devices. They’re always better and faster than the model we’re using. The industry advances so fast that we know even the latest version will soon be replaced by something superior. But even if we buy into the hype, do we notice a big difference? It’s one thing to sell an idea; it’s another to create something that has real impact on our lives. You don’t need a magical solution to your problem. By taking small steps, you’ll get the result you want. Success is a matter of attitude and timing. There’s advice in your four-minute forecast. Call 1550 511 611.

TAURUS Apr 21 - May 21 EVEN though we all studied many different subjects at school and were filled with facts and figures, we still find ourselves living in a cosmos full of concepts we can’t understand and having to deal with situations we’re unprepared for. The good news is that the education system is learning to teach other skills alongside academic subjects – such as how to deal with stress. You could do with some instruction in that department right now. So, allow me to help. You don’t need to be anywhere near as concerned as you are. Relax. Don’t worry about the future. Understand it and embrace it. Call your forecast: 1550 511 611.

GEMINI May 22 - June 22 YOU’RE confident about certain aspects of your life and unsure about others. That’s completely normal. So too is the fact that there’s an area between these two extremes where you swing between very different mindsets. It’s here that you learn the most about yourself and what makes you feel fulfilled. And it’s where you sometimes need to dig deep in order to find the resolve to carry on. With your ruler, Mercury, in such a powerful position, you’re one great idea away from an ideal solution.

Your in-depth, four-minute forecast has inspiring news. Call 1550 511 611.

CANCER June 23 - July 23 WHEN we’re in the midst of a drama, we don’t feel the impact of stress until everything has calmed down. While we’re in it, adrenaline focuses our attention on dealing with whatever comes our way. It’s only later that we’re able to process the mental and physical toll. You’ve been dealing with a number of challenging situations and you’ve coped well. Now that things are starting to run more smoothly, it’s time to consciously let go of an underlying sense of anxiety. Start to trust that things are going well, because they are. What do you need to look out for? There’s good news in your latest forecast. Call 1550 511 611.

LEO July 24 - Aug 23 EVEN when we think we know what we want, it’s not always easy to explain why we want it. Our motivations are hard to pin down. We give ourselves a reason and that will do. We don’t question it any further. Today, as Mercury links with lucky Jupiter and grounded Saturn, rather than jumping to a conclusion and leaping into action, take time to consider your options. The possibility you’re being presented with might look problematic. But just because it doesn’t fit your idea of what’s right doesn’t mean it won’t help you. Will the dream you’re chasing come true? Call 1550 511 611.

VIRGO Aug 24 - Sep 23 MAGICIANS use all sorts of techniques to demonstrate their sleight of hand. And as audiences, we love to be deceived. But they’re not the only people with access to this kind of power – we often deceive ourselves. We make hasty decisions and convince ourselves that we’re following well-thought through plans. We jump to conclusions but think we’ve considered all the options. Yet this ability can have magical results, too. Don’t worry that you’re not following your intended plan – you’ve tricked yourself on to a better one. Worried? There’s a special message for you when you call your four-minute forecast on 1550 511 611.

LIBRA Sep 24 - Oct 23 EMOTIONS aren’t always easy to deal with. Caring makes us vulnerable. When things don’t work out as we’d like, we feel hurt. It’s why we sometimes try to restrict our involvement with issues that touch our hearts. There’s no doubt that passion can be problematic. Yet what’s the point of living a life devoid of desire and enthusiasm? You’re ruled by Venus, the planet of love. You can’t stop yourself from caring. Don’t hold back from expressing your feelings today. Your courage will be rewarded. What’s the best way to move forward and ensure success? Call your latest forecast: 1550 511 611.

SCORPIO Oct 24 - Nov 22 WHEN we act kindly towards someone, that kindness is passed on. When we treat someone badly, we contribute to a climate of mistrust. It seems that you’ve been treated unfairly recently. Rather than spread that negativity, suppose you choose to rise above the situation and respond in a less obvious way? As the Sun moves to link with your ruler, Pluto, you have a choice; pass on a bad feeling, or do something constructive. The second option will encourage a much-needed solution to come about. There’s no need to worry. All you need is some guidance. Your latest forecast can help. Call 1550 511 611.

SAGITTARIUS Nov 23 - Dec 21 PICTURE yourself reaching the end of a long climb. The clouds have descended, making it difficult for you to see. Someone pushes past you and you slip, lose your footing and tumble down the slope. With poor visibility, you’re disorientated and end up taking the wrong path. As it starts to rain, you’re forced to take shelter and find yourself in a cave. In the darkness, you spy something gleaming. You’ve stumbled upon a treasure trove! Your current situation holds more promise than you think. Your forecast will help you to see the bigger picture and move in the right direction. Call 1550 511 611.

CAPRICORN Dec 22 - Jan 20 WITH power planet Mars in your sign, if you find yourself having to juggle fire-lit torches, you’ll manage it. If someone needs to scale the highest building? You’re first in the queue! Under this cosmic climate, you’ll give anything a go. In fact, these courageous feats would be easier to deal with than the complex emotional demands and pressures you’re currently wrestling with. Yet you can cope. Today brings unanticipated support and encouragement. Accept the help being offered and a difficult situation will be resolved. What does your heart desire? How can you achieve what your really want? Call 1550 511 611.

AQUARIUS Jan 21 - Feb 19 JUST because (dare I say it) you’re not right all the time, doesn’t mean you’re always wrong. I say this because I suspect you’re going through a secret phase of self-doubt. Recent events have made you aware that you don’t always judge every situation completely accurately, which is making you think about the way you operate. But don’t let this knock your confidence. In one vital area, you’re right about something that others think you’re wrong about. Stay strong in your convictions. There is heartwarming news in your latest, in-depth, four-minute forecast. Call 1550 511 611.

PISCES Feb 20 - Mar 20 IMAGINE being a mirror maker. Just think about the risks involved. One false move and – bang – seven years of bad luck. What would happen if an entire stack fell over? You’d have to be gentle, careful and vigilant at all times. In your world now, you’re dealing with a situation that seems very delicate. You’re tiptoeing around doing a damage limitation exercise. But, as you’re about to see, it’s less fragile than you think. If you act with confidence, it will reflect that confidence back and you’ll find a way to deal with it. Live your life to the full. There is helpful advice and positive news in your four-minute forecast. Call 1550 511 611.
