OSCAR CAINER

Hi Oscar, is it true that for a more complete picture you should read your Sun sign followed by the rising sign? Adam

Hi Adam, I once believed it couldn’t hurt to read both signs, but the more I write, the more I come to see why Jonathan was against this. These are Sun-orientated predictions. If I were composing ascendant forecasts (based on the sign rising in the east at the time of your birth), they’d be very different. Stick with the tried-and-tested. Oscar

ARIES Mar 21 — Apr 20

IN THE late Seventies, folk music was not in fashion with British youth, due, in part, to the intoxicating rise of punk. The brash, aggressive and exciting sounds were polar opposites to the acoustic ballads popular with teenagers’ parents. Punk brought the idea of ‘year zero’ — nothing that came before it mattered. As Mars begins to traverse a new sign, it’s unlikely that you’ll get a mohawk haircut, but you might get emotional about aspects of your past. Acknowledging it will lead to a more satisfying future. I’ve got lots to tell you about June and you’re going to like it. Call 0906 751 5601.

TAURUS Apr 21 — May 21

THE poet Rainer Maria Rilke wrote: ‘Live in the question.’ Now, that’s not an easy thing to do. But, today, ask yourself what you’ve been dreaming about. Could you experience a new connection with someone who shares your hopes and values? Will you find closure from a stressful situation? Will you be showered with praise and recognition? With a little luck, or determination, any of these scenarios could happen to you. It’s the feeling of anticipation that matters. As Venus prepares to enter your sign, all this — and more — is possible. Hear the excellent news in your NEW June prediction. Call 0906 751 5602.

GEMINI May 22 — June 22

IN TODAY’S ‘post-truth’ era, when truth is whatever is insisted upon, irrespective of its veracity, you’d be forgiven for wondering what is the distinction between a ‘truth’ and a ‘lie’. If we’re living in a ‘post-truth’ world, are we also in a ‘post-lie’ world? And what would that mean? Is there anything in between? Tennyson once wrote that ‘a lie which is half a truth is the blackest of lies’, so perhaps there is. But, in any case, you’ll be pleased to hear that things are about to become a little clearer in your world. Your NEW June forecast could be one of the most rewarding calls you ever make: 0906 751 5603.

CANCER June 23 — July 23

TODAY’S rhetoric about entertainment is increasingly hyperbolic. It’s not enough for something just to be nice any more. It has to be the most exciting thing that someone has ever experienced. And they’ll be saying the same about something else next week… and the week after. In this elevation of the trivial, the truly special things life offers are easily overlooked. Mars has just entered your sign and, until next month, when it leaves, you might discover that events in your life become worthy of the most passionate superlatives. Understand what’s happening in your horoscope and assure success in June. Call 0906 751 5604.

LEO July 24 — Aug 23

A FIREFIGHTER, a doctor, an astronaut, a gymnast, a house-husband with four kids. When we were children, we all had grand ideas of what our lives would be when we were finally ‘grown up’. But how many of us have managed to turn our dreams into reality? Now that you’re all grown up, it’s too late, isn’t it? Of course not! It’s never too late to follow your dreams. This is the perfect moment to throw yourself into the life you always wanted. It’s brave, but it might bring you the happiness you’ve been searching for. In your forecast for June, I have great things to tell you. Call 0906 751 5605.

VIRGO Aug 24 — Sep 23

THERE’S nothing wrong with holding on to unfulfilled hopes and ambitions. Sometimes these, more than anything else, are what motivate us and drive us forward. Sometimes, though, our relationship with our goals can sour; so that, rather than being a force of inspiration, they signify our insufficiencies. But this isn’t necessarily the case. People evolve and develop as they move through life — perhaps our dreams just don’t quite fit the people we’ve grown into. It’s time to cut yourself free from something that’s holding you back. June is the month you’ve been waiting for. Get the good news. Call 0906 751 5606.

LIBRA Sep 24 — Oct 23

WHAT we set out to do doesn’t always matter when weighed against the consequences of our actions. How often has a well-meant action made a situation worse? And, sometimes, bad intentions can lead to happy events. Is this the situation that you find yourself in? An opportunity has landed on your doorstep, but you’re not sure if you can trust the bearer of this good news. What’s certain is that the coming Solstice presents an amazing chance for you. Throw caution to the wind and embrace this opportunity. I’ve got lots to tell you about June — and you’re going to like it. Call 0906 751 5607.

SCORPIO Oct 24 — Nov 22

‘YOU say it best,’ sang Ronan Keating, ‘when you say nothing at all.’ By taking American country music hits and turning them into pop records, he had a good run in the charts. I’m not mentioning this lyric to advocate that you should take a vow of silence. In fact, there’s someone in your world, or about to arrive in your life, with whom you’d like to communicate. But perhaps this is the time to consider how you go about making that harmonious connection. If you want your message to be a hit, then adapt it for your audience! Hear the excellent news in your new June prediction. Call 0906 751 5608.

SAGITTARIUS Nov 23 — Dec 21

WAS that funny? It wasn’t meant to be. There’s always someone who can find comedy in even the worst situation, but it can be awkward. You may have made a suggestion that wasn’t met with the kind of reception you were expecting. Someone’s not taking you seriously — didn’t they know you were sincere? In fact, although mirth can be hurtful, when others scoff at your ideas, their disbelief can provide the push you need to pursue your goal. Ignore the non-believers! Better yet, you could prove them wrong. Your new June forecast could be the most rewarding call you ever make: 0906 751 5609.

CAPRICORN Dec 22 — Jan 20

YOU’RE a naturalborn trier. When it comes to effort, ‘half-measure’ is not in your vocabulary. But it’s normal to question your motivations sometimes… and wonder why you put so much of yourself into your work. The answer’s simple: because you care. And let’s be honest, you can be something of a perfectionist. To fully invest yourself in every endeavour is a strength, although it can be exhausting. But wavering from your commitment to yourself would be a greater sacrifice than sticking to your principles right now. Understand what’s happening in your horoscope and assure success in June. Call 0906 751 5610.

AQUARIUS Jan 21 — Feb 19

WE CAN all think unkind thoughts about people. We might even wish that something unpleasant would happen to them. And does it? Can our negative thoughts actually have an effect? Belief is a very powerful thing. There’s a commonly held idea that if you believe that something works, you can actually make it work. So why don’t we turn this on its head? Now is a time for kind, constructive thoughts towards others. It’s not just the person you’re thinking about who feels the effects, but also the thinker. In your forecast for June I have great things to tell you. Call 0906 751 5611.

PISCES Feb 20 — Mar 20

DON’T believe it when you hear that the best things in life are free. Often, the things that we get the most satisfaction and reward from are those that we’ve had to work really hard for. That’s what you’re reaping the benefit of now. Your labours are paying off. You surely deserve the good stuff coming your way. As well as bringing renewed zest, the coming Solstice highlights the rewards of your harvest. Enjoy every minute. And make sure you take full advantage of the gains made by all that effort you’ve put in. June is the month you’ve been waiting for. Get the good news. Call 0906 751 5612.
