THE WEEK AHEAD WITH Caıner Oscar

This week, we’ll discover the ‘Eek!’ in ‘Eureka!’ A breakthrough may not be as simple as it first appears. But even though Mercury’s retrograde will bring us face to face with sticking plaster solutions, it provides a chance to address issues that have been dogging us. By looking beyond the surface, it will prove to be a constructive week.

Aries The great Terry Pratchett wrote ‘ there Mar 21 - Apr 20

are times in life when people must know when not to let go. Balloons are designed to teach small children this.’ But the problem with this philosophy is it doesn’t teach us much about when the ‘ letting go’ needs to be done. Difficult emotions have a way of sticking in our minds and hearts, and it’s these that we need to learn to rid ourselves of. As your ruler, Mars, leaves your opposite sign, while Mercury is retrograde, perhaps the time has come to forgive someone for a past wrong. NEW! Your four- minute forecast for 2018. It’s going to be a much better year than you think. Find out why. Call 0906 751 5601.

Taurus The word generosity, to me, sounds Apr 21 - May 21

like the conflation of ‘generous’ and ‘ ferocity’. That’s almost certainly incorrect! But language and words are merely vehicles for expression. They’re only right if they convey the meaning they’re intended to make. As Mars changes signs, there’s a risk you’ll exert pressure on someone through what you perceive to be an act of kindness. Though there’s nothing wrong with being proactive, you’re better off waiting for a distress call than wading in without an invitation. NEW! Your forecast for 2018 is ready! Just give me four minutes and I’ll give you the keys to a great year. Call 0906 751 5602.

Gemini How can you change someone’s May 22 - Jun 22

mind? It’s tempting to overwhelm them with the power of your argument and submerge their doubts under a deluge of facts. But this will only create feelings of coercion.

When the right time presents, you can gently guide them towards your way of thinking. Be the sun, not the wind, this week and your influence will be effective. NEW! Your four- minute forecast for 2018. It’s going to be a much better year than you think. Find out why. Call 0906 751 5603.

unrealised potential. It’s been lurking under the surface for a while, waiting for the right celestial conditions. You’re becoming a force to be reckoned with. You’re fizzing with unexplored inspiration and power. This week, if you think about an almost forgotten plan, you can revitalise your efforts to bring it to fruition.

Leo What brought you to this point? Was this Jul 24 - Aug 23

the only road available? Was your planning flawless, or did you make a few 3 wrong turns along the way? These sorts of questions are inevitable now, as Mercury in retrograde prepares to conjunct your ruler, the Sun. But there is an alternative that deserves some consideration.

Virgo When we really want something, Aug 24 - Sep 23

there is very little we can do to change our own minds – even when what we’re yearning for flies in the face of sense and reason. When we try to convince ourselves there’s a better, more logical option, our emotions overrule our pragmatism. You may be a realist but your emotions are powerful. So if you’re finding it hard to disregard your feelings about something now, don’t! Just be honest with yourself. Then you’ll be able to strike a compromise between your heart and your head this week. NEW! Your forecast for 2018 is ready! Just give me four minutes and I’ll give you the keys to a great year.

Libra If the sky had fingers, it would be Sep 24 - Oct 23

reaching down to gently rub your shoulders this week. As Mars leaves your sign, so too does a source of tension. When you’re in a state of relaxation, it’s hardly the time to compete in a triathlon though! You may notice your energy levels aren’t as high as they have been. But easing off from a stressful situation is exactly what’s required. It will not only help you to see how far you’ve come, it’ll help you consolidate the ground you’ve gained. Give yourself a well- deserved break. NEW! Your fourminute forecast for 2018. It’s going to be a much better year than you think. Find out why. Call 0906 751 5607.

Scorpio With your ruler Mars joining

Oct 24 - Nov 22

Jupiter in your sign, you are, at least temporarily, a god among mere mortals. You’ll find other people are more than willing to acquiesce to your heart’s desires, and happy to be putty in your hands. This is a perfect week to explore a desire, or embark upon a great adventure. It’s worth checking you’re clear that you really want to do whatever you decide to do, because however you decide to use your energy and luck now, there’s a chance you’ll get more success than you bargained for!

Sagittarius Explaining your feelings is Nov 23 - Dec 21

never easy. You’ve poured your deepest concerns into someone’s ear, but failed to elicit the response (or interest) you need. The problem is we’re all so used to this kind of non- communication that it’s sometimes easy to assume half- listening is the same as engaging in a meaningful way. And rather than labour a point, we tend to shrug off the lack of interest and keep our problems to ourselves. This week, though, if you try again the chances are you’ll hear the response you need. NEW! Your four- minute forecast for 2018. It’s going to be a much better year than you think. Find out why. Call 0906 751 5609.

Capricorn You’re almost tempted to

Dec 22 - Jan 20

throw some coins down a wishing well. Or purchase fairy dust. But are these skilful ways to secure your happiness? Of course not! There are more practical things you can do; like taking your well- being into your own hands. You could try getting out and about, and considering ways to make more of your current circle of friends and contacts. Mercury is retrograde and many of the usual rules don’t apply. So challenge yourself by trying some unusual activities. It beats wishful thinking! NEW! Your forecast for 2018 is ready! Just give me four minutes and I’ll give you the keys to a great year. Call 0906 751 5610.

Aquarius Wisdom comes from surprising Jan 21 - Feb 19

sources. While my son was off nursery, poorly and indulging in an episode of Transformers, I heard a line that stuck out like a sore thumb: ‘It’s not the winner of the first battle that matters, it’s the victor of the last that counts’. As Mars changes signs, with Mercury retrograde, you’re realising success isn’t defined by a single encounter, and that progress is a meandering path. Don’t question the wisdom of making the journey. Events this week will prove you’re on the right path. NEW! Your four-minute forecast for 2018. It’s going to be a much better year than you think. Find out why. Call 0906 751 5611.

Although you might not have everything you wish for, you have wisdom in abundance – and that’s all you really need. This week, keep your own counsel. The only opinion that really matters is yours.
