THE WEEK AHEAD WITH Oscar Caıner

A fascinating week is in store. Mars marches into Aquarius as Venus enters Scorpio. Mercury, opposite sensitive Neptune, forms what astrologers call a Finger Of The World alignment, which indicates the arrival of breakthrough ideas. Situations will be shaken, and passions will be deliciously stirred! Aries

Mar21-Apr20 It’s not true that there are more questions than answers. There are answers everywhere you look... it’s just that we haven’t yet understood the questions they’re answering! By focusing on the queries which are hard to solve, we create a false impression of a mysterious world. As your ruler makes powerful alignments and changes signs this week, not only will an answer that’s been under your nose become clear, but you’ll be able to understand the question that accompanies it. Clarity over a long-standing puzzle is possible. Powerful changes are possible as planets spin into inspirational new alignments. Make the most of it! Call 0906 751 5601.

Taurus

Apr21-May21 Although it feels as if something is wrong, it’s more a case that something irritating won’t go away. No matter what you do (and despite the significant efforts you’ve made), you appear to be stuck with an unacceptable situation. There’s only one course of action left: you’ve got to find a way to be OK with it. Is there something you’ve been overlooking that you might learn to like? As Venus, your ruler, moves signs, if you can find a way to put your fears and restlessness down, you can find a healthy and happy way forward. Powerful changes are possible as planets spin into inspirational new alignments. Make the most of it! Call 0906 751 5602.

Gemini

May22-Jun22 Shakespeare was spot on when he compared the world to being a stage. The problem is none of us come here holding a script. That doesn’t stop us from looking for one, though. Yet, the best we ever find is a glimpse of the storyline. Then, we’re able to improvise through a scene or two. Whenever we feel as if we know how the story is going to end, life inevitably proves us wrong! As your ruler links with Neptune this week, your imagination is being fired up. You can be delightfully creative with your storyline and rewrite your future. Powerful changes are possible as planets spin into inspirational new alignments. Make the most of it! Call 0906 751 5603.

Cancer

Jun23-Jul23 Apart from one rather irritating situation, your outlook remains good. Yet this particular issue is having such an impact that you’re unable to ignore it... it’s influencing your attitude to everything. Current cosmic indications suggest you’re finding it difficult to stop thinking about this annoyance, but you can find a way to see it from another angle. Despite what you fear, it’s going to work out for the best. Just do what you can and stay relaxed about what you can’t. Be a little patient, and you’ll like what eventually manifests. Powerful changes are possible as planets spin into inspirational new alignments. Make the most of it! Call 0906 751 5604.

Leo

Jul24-Aug23 With Venus changing signs this week, you can begin to feel both supported and encouraged. Life isn’t really as hard as you’ve been finding it recently. It’s a roller- coaster of contrasts with ups and downs, and unders and overs. Now you’ve visited one side of the scale, it’s time to shift over to the other. When it’s all going well, we’re alert to potential problems, and when it’s challenging, we look for the lucky breaks. Accept the gift you’re about to be offered. It may be disguised as a challenge, but it holds potential for a breakthrough. Powerful changes are possible as planets spin into inspirational new alignments. Make the most of it! Call 0906 751 5605.

Virgo

Aug24-Sep23 You’re feeling overwhelmed by other people’s opinions. It seems as if everyone wants to tell you how to act and what needs to be done. You’re such a free- spirited soul (who never likes being told what to do), I’m surprised you’re even reading this! So, all I need to tell you, as your ruler connects to Neptune this week, is to bear in mind that you can’t change what’s done and that things might not be better even if you could. If you can let go of your inner critic, then you’ll see that this challenge, though daunting, is an opportunity. Powerful changes are possible as planets spin into inspirational new alignments. Make the most of it! Call 0906 751 5606.

Libra

Sep24-Oct23 Are you being too daring? Possibly. Are you being too rash? Probably! Should you show more restraint and patience? Well, of course. But, more importantly, are you taking risks that will put you, or anyone else, into a harmful situation? No! The indications are that you’re getting away with the consequences of your impulsiveness. As Venus, your ruler, changes signs, it looks as if you’re going to benefit from recent choices you’ve made. So, it’s OK to relax. And it’s OK to continue enjoying this new approach and way of investing your energy. Powerful changes are possible as planets spin into inspirational new alignments. Make the most of it! Call 0906 751 5607.

Scorpio

Oct24-Nov22 You’re not averse to taking a risk or two... nor are you afraid of failing. You realised a long time ago that progress and courage go hand in hand. This doesn’t mean you take chances when it comes to other people’s security, though. The movement of Mars, plus Venus moving into your sign, suggests you may be tempted by an option you’re not able to explore. While yearning for what’s out of reach may inspire you to move beyond your limitations, a satisfying alternative is available – and it will more than meet your needs. Powerful changes are possible as planets spin into inspirational new alignments. Make the most of it! Call 0906 751 5608.

Sagittarius

Nov23-Dec21 The obstacles that appear in our paths are never quite what they seem. Sometimes, in steering a way around them, we avoid a more dangerous situation or a time- consuming distraction. Other times, they present us with ways to demonstrate our determination and tenacity. It’s never easy to distinguish one from another. This week, as Mars changes signs, you need to think about whether you want to expend so much of your energy breaking down a stubborn barrier. Finding a way to go around it could save time and effort. Powerful changes are possible as planets spin into inspirational new alignments. Make the most of it! Call 0906 751 5609.

Capricorn

Dec22-Jan20 Our brains hold the capacity to do so much more than we use them for. Think of all the people who have no choice but to work on production lines, repetitively assembling components. How do they cope with the mind- numbing monotony of their work? Few are the employers who actively encourage their employees to think imaginatively. As Mars and Venus change signs this week, it’s time to recognise you’re capable of a great deal more than you’re doing. Take hold of any opportunities to demonstrate your strengths. Powerful changes are possible as planets spin into inspirational new alignments. Make the most of it! Call 0906 751 5610.

Aquarius

Jan21-Feb19 ‘Come on baby light my fire,’ sang Jim Morrison in The Doors’ incendiary, timeless classic. But surely we can’t just follow his suggestions and throw caution to the wind? That’s the kind of behaviour that needs a licence and a health and safety certificate isn’t it? To put it another way, whatever has been preventing you from acting spontaneously can now be cast asunder. As Mars moves into your sign, it brings a spark of passion that can set your enthusiasm alight. Your excitement holds more potential than you realise. Powerful changes are possible as planets spin into inspirational new alignments. Make the most of it! Call 0906 751 5611.

Pisces

Feb20-Mar20 Although you’ve been feeling stuck in a difficult situation, this week you can make a vital change and break free. As your ruler opposes Mercury, you’ll find yourself able to think more creatively. As you challenge a supposition and reconsider a long- held point of view, innovative ideas will help you to see how to make the right decision. Although the route ahead may appear to be one you’ve previously rejected, it’s worth exploring again. Don’t be put off by other people’s reactions. Things have changed. Powerful changes are possible as planets spin into inspirational new alignments. Make the most of it! Call 0906 751 5612.
