THE WEEK AHEAD WITH Caıner Oscar

As we rush around preparing, with Venus conjuncting Saturn, don’t go over the top with presents! Luckily, Mercury is turning direct, so letters sent to the North Pole will make it in time. Clear up misunderstandings before the season starts too. Mars and Neptune’s link suggests inspiring ideas are in the air. And, with Venus setting a loving glow, it feels appropriate to say ‘Happy Christmas’!

Aries

A friend of mine used to say, ‘I’m always Mar 21 - Apr 20

right – even when I’m wrong!’ He was joking (I think!) but we all like being on the moral high ground. Sometimes in our scramble to get to the top, we step on other peoples’ feelings, while other folk never admit to an error because they don’t want to lose face. As Christmas approaches, the pressure mounts. We all want to be full of seasonal joy. As Mercury’s retrograde movement comes to an end and your ruler links to Neptune, be sensitive, keep an open mind, and all will be well.

don’t need to remind you of that! You know perfectly well how slowly watched pots boil, because there’s one that you haven’t been able to take your eyes off – and I’m not talking about the Christmas gravy! The progress you’re making seems incremental, and you’re worrying that your plan will never be cooked. But you’re about to find answers that will bring peace and goodwill.

Gemini

Some people claim to be able to May 22 - Jun 22

read minds. A much larger group is certain such abilities are trickery. Sceptics accept every possibility but one – that a few among us really do have special and unusual gifts. Although you might not be developing a ‘ third eye’, as Mercury turns direct, you’ll finally start to understand someone better this festive week. With your new insight, deeply held misunderstandings can be peacefully resolved. If you embrace what’s been so hard to see, a healthier, happier time lies in store.

Venus is entering your opposite sign. Jun 23 - Jul 23

That’s not just good news for your love life – that’s great news for your unloved life! Just as something was starting to prove difficult and daunting, Venus’ conjunction with Saturn will help you to see its value. With delightful timing, the cosmos offers you the chance to appreciate what you have, and who you have it with. Just don’t sacrifice long-term dreams for short-term pleasures. There are ways in which you can ease your burden, and advance your prospects too.

Leo

Often our colleagues are no more than Jul 24 - Aug 23

that. They’re simply the people we need around us to get things done. And given how much time in life is devoted to work, that can sometimes make life feel a little lonely and restricting. But this week, you’ll find yourself surrounded by more kindness than you’re used to. It will creep out of crevices and seep into the fabric of your days. Any doubts and fears about your future can, for the time being at least, be set to one side. You can relax over the festive season. Go on! You deserve it!

Virgo

Most of us have experienced déjà vu. Aug 24 - Sep 23

Although there is no scientific explanation for it, some people interpret such feelings as signs of faith. There’s a strong sense that what you’ve experienced in the past is now powerfully affecting you. You’ve been through, and learnt, a lot. As Mercury turns direct, if you can see why a situation has turned out the way it has then with your unique sensitivity and natural communication skills, you’ll find you can stand strong and enjoy your role as peacemaker over the festive week.

Libra

From an evolutionary point of view, Sep 24 - Oct 23

holding a grudge makes sense. If we remember the reasons for the stresses we’ve faced, our chance of repeating the situation decreases. That’s the theory anyway! But, as we prepare to repeat familiar rituals (that bring their share of challenges) it’s good to remember such a perspective closes us to new opportunities. How much you’re willing to forgive and how much you can afford to forget is up to you. This festive week, if you’re kind to yourself, those around you benefit too.

Scorpio

When we say something’s too Oct 24 - Nov 22

good to be true, are we describing what we see or how we see it? Mercury’s retrograde period created a climate of insecurity. Now as Venus and Saturn converge, it’s understandable you’re wary of letting down the protective barriers you’ve placed carefully around you. But if you limit the kindness you give, you’ll limit the amount you receive. Mars in your sign is encouraging you to be boldly generous. Be true to these principles and the festivities this week really can be too good to be true. Give yourself the best Christmas present ever: four minutes of priceless, accurate insight and support for the coming year. Call 0906 751 5608.

Sagittarius

Your senses are alerted if Nov 23 - Dec 21

you suspect the possibility of a trap. Being forced to do anything causes your stress levels to rise and a desire to run in the opposite direction. So is this week fraught with challenges? As Mercury turns direct in Sagittarius, rather than seeing yourself as vulnerable prey, picture yourself as the hunter – and a talented one at that. You have the social skills and presence to create a scenario in which you feel comfortable. If you take good stock of your surroundings, you can enjoy the festive feastings. Give yourself the best Christmas present ever: four minutes of priceless, accurate insight and support for the coming year. Call 0906 751 5609.

Capricorn

A new idea is as vulnerable as Dec 22 - Jan 20

a snowflake. Bright, sparkly and unique, it’s a precious gift. But with one gust of criticism or a blast of doubt, our insights and creative thoughts can melt away. While Mercury was retrograde, harsh winds may have buffeted your plans. But, don’t let the memory of a recent tempest stop you from sailing into clearer waters this week. Keep true to your vision and consolidating gifts will appear – not just under the Christmas tree. Tangible support from those you value is on offer. Give yourself the best Christmas present ever: four minutes of priceless, accurate insight and support for the coming year. Call 0906 751 5610.

Aquarius

Venus was a popular figure in Jan 21 - Feb 19

ancient mythology. Although polyamory wasn’t unusual for the Greek and Roman gods, they were quick to be jealous. As Venus conjuncts your traditional ruler, you’re being encouraged to sharpen the focus of your feelings. This doesn’t mean you should focus only on your nearest and dearest. But a concentrated dose of well-aimed charm and kindness will go a long way this festive week. With your charismatic powers heightened, you can bring joy to the proceedings! Give yourself the best Christmas present ever: four minutes of priceless, accurate insight and support for the coming year. Call 0906 751 5611.

Pisces

‘If you search under the tower, just Feb 20 - Mar 20

to the right of the space shuttle, you’ll find the sledge waiting.’ People in your life haven’t exactly been speaking gobbledegook, but they’ve been hard to understand. You’ve listened intently, thought about all the messages you’ve received, and you’re still none the wiser. Normally this wouldn’t matter so much but as you move into the festive week, you’d love to understand more. Mercury is turning direct. It’s not just Christmas that’s coming, it’s clarity and clear communication too.
