THE WEEK AHEAD WITH Caıner Oscar

After Valentine’s Day, romance is still in the air. Passionate Mars connects with Neptune, the Sun and Mercury move into dreamy Pisces, and Neptune – with its glamorous allure – welcomes Venus. But though we risk sacrificing too much for a fantasy, Mercury’s link with Saturn suggests our heads will be cool enough to stop our hearts running away with us.

Aries

Imagine being given a bag of gold coins Mar 21 - Apr 20

and then, one by one, chucking the coins into a river. ‘Who needs these bits of metal, when this bag is so very useful?’ It seems like a silly idea, doesn’t it? But it’s all too easy to accidentally place great value in things that aren’t worth our time. Recently, you’ve begun to realise that a long-held dream might not be quite what you’d built it up to be. It has closed your mind to more enriching possibilities. Once you’ve built up the courage to let it go, something thrilling can take its place. The sky is positively charged with astrological promise. For your LATEST inspiring guide to the week ahead, call 0906 751 5601.

Taurus

Years ago, Jonathan wrote a book Apr 21 - May 21

explaining how to coax the cosmos into helping turn dreams into reality. Rather than describing a way to fulfil wishes, it focused on learning how to make wishes less specific. History is full of stories about men and women who achieve their goals only to realise that the grass isn’t always greener on the other side. That’s worth bearing in mind as you assess your progress so far this year. As Venus and Neptune connect this week, you can get what glitters. Just don’t expect it all to be gold. Powerful changes are possible as the planets spin into inspirational new alignments. Make the most of it! Call 0906 751 5602.

Gemini

There are a hundred self-help May 22 - Jun 22

books for every condition you can imagine. Diets? Yes! Savings? Yes! The problem is that they often disagree with each other! You could spend your life comparing volumes and be no closer to any kind of consensus. The one thing they do have in common is that in order to be successful, you need to have self- belief. So, do you have what it takes? The tiniest spark of faith is about to be fanned into a fire of success. You’d be stunned if you realised just how close you are to achieving your dream. The sky is positively charged with astrological promise. For your LATEST inspiring guide to the week ahead, call 0906 751 5603.

Cancer

The words ‘ what’ and ‘if’, though Jun 23 - Jul 23

simple, are powerful. Sometimes they can be catalysts for dreams, hopes and aspirations but, more often, they’re the words that cause us to slam our foot on the brake and bring things screeching to a halt. They easily throw us into doubts about our abilities and decisions. As a general rule, life’s troubled waters become a lot easier to navigate when we stop questioning every choice and just trust in our abilities. There’s so much to be hopeful about this week. Give in to that optimism. Powerful changes are possible as the planets spin into inspirational new alignments. Make the most of it! Call 0906 751 5604.

Leo

Pinch yourself. Yes, that’s right – you’re Jul 24 - Aug 23

not dreaming. So now we’ve discounted one possibility and ascertained that this situation truly exists, the question is: how do you feel? Perhaps you’ve been so taken aback by recent developments that you haven’t thought about your new social standing. But as your ruler enters Pisces, the dreamiest of signs, it’s time to wake up! You have the power to make great and profound changes. You’re not living in a dream but, with the right tools and enough drive, you can turn life into one. The sky is positively charged with astrological promise. For your LATEST inspiring guide to the week ahead, call 0906 751 5605.

Virgo

From technological whizz- kids to Aug 24 - Sep 23

green-fingered gardeners, there are so many examples of brilliance. There’s so much to know, so much we should know... and so much we don’t know. In this world of specialised expertise, when so many people seem to know more than you, it’s easy to feel inferior. But this week you know exactly how to do what you need to do. If you act with sincerity and care, all will go well. You have the skills you need to accomplish your goal without going off route. So there’s no need to fear anything going wrong. Powerful changes are possible as the planets spin into inspirational new alignments. Make the most of it! Call 0906 751 5606.

Libra

How are you going to win the lottery Sep 24 - Oct 23

without a ticket? As the song in the musical South Pacific so beautifully puts it, ‘ You’ve got to have a dream, if you don’t have a dream, how you gonna have a dream come true?’ It makes it sound so simple! But it takes a bit more than just a dream. It takes definite, decisive action too. This week, as Venus and Neptune link, although dreaming is a very good place to start, you should find that circumstances contrive to create an ideal opportunity for you to make an important move forward. The sky is positively charged with astrological promise. For your LATEST inspiring guide to the week ahead, call 0906 751 5607.

Scorpio

Imagine being fortunate enough Oct 24 - Nov 22

to be able to buy a huge and beautiful mansion, only to become depressed by how much money you have to spend on CCTV and security guards. Now, don’t get me wrong, I’m sure it would be annoying. But would it really have stopped you from buying the house? Although your chances of winning the lottery are slim, the cosmos is blessing you with good fortune this week. If you focus on the benefits rather than any perceived negatives, your luck will continue to gather and grow. Powerful changes are possible as the planets spin into inspirational new alignments. Make the most of it! Call 0906 751 5608.

Sagittarius

Mars in your sign is like a Nov 23 - Dec 21

hamster in a wheel. But this wheel is powering a time machine set to take you back to the past. That’s no bad thing, but there’s a chance that this journey will take you past some less-than-rosy memories. But there’s a way of turning this to your advantage. This is a chance to review what you’ve seen as a mistake and realise that it was a necessary step on the path taking you where you needed to go. When we learn to appreciate where we’ve been, we get to love where we’re going. The sky is positively charged with astrological promise. For your LATEST inspiring guide to the week ahead, call 0906 751 5609.

Capricorn

Why are you in charge? When Dec 22 - Jan 20

someone asks this question, the implication is that the person who’s being challenged shouldn’t be in a position of authority. Although you haven’t heard these exact words, there’s an unspoken feeling that this is what someone close to you is thinking. It’s no wonder you feel defensive. But rather than your decisions being called into question, people just need to understand why they’re doing what you want them to do. If you share your vision, you’ll find that others are eager to jump on board. Powerful changes are possible as the planets spin into inspirational new alignments. Make the most of it! Call 0906 751 5610.

Aquarius

Wouldn’t it be nice to win the Jan 21 - Feb 19

lottery? To go on an all-inclusive trip to Bali? Or buy a sports car? And a castle! You could throw lavish parties, or live quietly in the countryside. Sorry, I’m getting carried away. But doesn’t everyone, now and then, get distracted by ideas that are unlikely ever to come true? This week, though, the cosmos indicates that rather than wasting your energy by chasing after wishful-thinking impossibilities, if you focus on what’s possible you can achieve something which is desirable and very satisfying. The sky is positively charged with astrological promise. For your LATEST inspiring guide to the week ahead, call 0906 751 5611.

Pisces

Here come the Sun and Mercury Feb 20 - Mar 20

entering your sign. Venus, already encouraging more love and kindness, is converging with your ruler and helping you appreciate the beauty of the world. There goes Saturn, ensuring that you have a source of reliable support, and helping your friends to ground you so that you focus your attention on what matters. Here comes Mars, ensuring that you needn’t accept no for an answer. And soon comes your birthday and the promise that this year holds more success than you dare hope for. Powerful changes are possible as the planets spin into inspirational new alignments. Make the most of it! Call 0906 751 5612.
