OSCAR CAINER

The New Moon in Scorpio encourages us to take a fresh approach to a complicated matter this weekend.

It suggests that a hidden way forward will present itself, and that we should dig deep, rather than give something up as a lost cause. Mars and Pluto’s alignment may tempt us to use a heavy industrial emotional drill to burrow through the tough bedrock.

So, be careful about how you handle the power switch.

A measured, yet firmly handled approach will get the best results.

ARIES Mar 21 — Apr 20

THIS weekend, Mars forms a square with Pluto, ruler of the sign in which the New Moon occurs. It symbolises a classic astral power struggle. Yet, like all events that happen far away, this is something over which you have no influence. Instead of feeling as if control is being wrested from you, think of it as being given the chance to take a break from decision-making. This could be a blessing in disguise! The currents guiding your journey are delivering you to where you need to be. We’re in the mysterious Dark of the Moon. For an inspiring reading that will make your week magical, call 0906 751 5601.

TAURUS Apr 21 — May 21

INTERPRETING how other people are reading and responding to you can be tricky. It’s like trying to read a book in a mirror; everything’s back to front. No matter from which angle you look at it, it’s hard to be certain that you’ve come to the right conclusion. So, as the New Moon arrives in your opposite sign this weekend, don’t make rash decisions, or reach irreversible conclusions – especially if they’re based on what someone else might be thinking. Give yourself the benefit of the doubt. The New Moon has a powerful message for you. For your spookily accurate latest Moon-sign prediction, call 0906 751 5602.

GEMINI May 22 — June 22

NEGOTIATING is rarely straightforward. If a situation was simple, there would be no need to negotiate! It can be even more difficult if one party comes to the table unwilling to enter into a dialogue, and launches instead, into a list of demands and sanctions. Although you’re being made to listen to someone’s grudges, don’t make the mistake of believing you have no influence. If you take a measured and compassionate approach, you can shift the power balance in your favour. Your latest Moon-sign forecast will touch your heart and lift your spirits.

CANCER June 23 — July 23

EVEN if you’re particularly fond of carrots, I doubt that you eat them from a nosebag. Nor do I imagine that there’s a bridle attached to your head, or a yoke on your back. So why would you be convinced that someone has control over where you go and the speed that you travel? They may have influence, but they’re not holding the reins. As the New Moon arrives, you should now see a way to do things differently. So don’t let anyone put blinkers on you. Trust your perspective. It’s the Dark of the Moon and your future can be revealed and changed. For inspiring news, pick up the phone. Call 0906 751 5604.

LEO July 24 — Aug 23

MY Leo-rising son has started referring to himself as ‘the sharing guy’. ‘Daddy, I’m The Sharing Guy, so you can have my broccoli’! I’ve yet to be fooled by this. But it’s interesting that when trying to get rid of his unwanted greens, he portrays himself as a kind of superhero. The weekend’s New Moon inspires you to distance yourself from something you don’t like. You don’t need to dress it up as an act of generosity. Trust your instincts, and do what you need to do. We’re in the mysterious Dark of the Moon. For an inspiring reading that will make your week magical, call 0906 751 5605.

VIRGO Aug 24 — Sep 23

THE author Ernest Hemingway was the master of economical prose; he only wrote words that were essential to the story. His literary style was the result of painstaking edits to his earlier drafts. He realised the value, and the need, to communicate a singular idea with simplicity. You might wish to take a leaf from his book this weekend. Although other people might be expecting you to elaborate, you know what you want, and need to say. Don’t be coerced into more than that. The New Moon has a powerful message for you. For your spookily accurate latest Moon-sign prediction, call 0906 751 5606.

LIBRA Sep 24 — Oct 23

THE Weekend’s New Moon could put you in a spin. And the forces you’ll be battling will be tricky to define. It’s not a headversus-heart scenario — you’re used to those. Instead, it’s a logistical quandary that you will face. You can do this, then that, and then the other . . . but you can’t possibly do them all at the same time. So, how will you know which to prioritise? The best way to approach this conundrum is to ask yourself what would make you happiest? Then follow that. Your latest Moon-sign forecast will touch your heart and lift your spirits. For four minutes of inspiration, call 0906 751 5607.

SCORPIO Oct 24 — Nov 22

THE arrival of the weekend’s New Moon, in your sign, will make you cautious about an impending decision. But make a decision you must! There’s an issue that simply can’t be solved if you worry about what could happen. It affects your ability to choose. Although it’s the nature of all actions to have unforeseen consequences, and beyond anyone’s power to plan for every eventuality, you can still make a positive move forward. Make your choice by thinking about what works best for you. It’s the Dark of the Moon and your future can be revealed and changed. For inspiring news, pick up the phone. Call 0906 751 5608.

SAGITTARIUS Nov 23 — Dec 21

ONE sideeffect of spending too much time on social media is jealousy. People don’t post pictures of themselves making porridge on a grey morning. We upload photos when we’re in enviable situations, not when we’re taking down washing that was left out in the rain. Comparing our own lives to filtered images, creates envy - we feel as if we have fewer resources than our friends. This weekend, the only pictures you need to paint are the ones that satisfy you. We’re in the mysterious Dark of the Moon. For an inspiring reading that will make your week magical, call 0906 751 5609.

CAPRICORN Dec 22 — Jan 20

ALTHOUGH we like to know what other people are thinking, we often baulk at simply asking to know what’s on their mind. But, when you’re wondering about someone’s feelings for you, you won’t get answers by guessing where their heart lies. Although the truth is often stranger (and more complicated) than we think, you’ll be better off for knowing it. The current climate of confusion is making it hard to think clearly about anything. You need some clarity. Be brave, and ask. The New Moon has a powerful message for you. For your spookily accurate latest Moon-sign prediction, call 0906 751 5610.

AQUARIUS Jan 21 — Feb 19

ACADEMICS are taught not to form a hypothesis too early, and students are encouraged to consider themes, rather than try to prove beliefs. When we start out with a point to prove, bias creeps in and colours our decisions. Your current path has not reached a dead end. Neither is your philosophy flawed. It’s just that your perspective needs to be recalibrated. Now you can see that puzzle pieces aren’t lining up, it’s time to put a different theory to the test this weekend. Your latest Moon-sign forecast will touch your heart and lift your spirits. For four minutes of inspiration, call 0906 751 5611.

PISCES Feb 20 — Mar 20

YOU have the power to neutralise a challenging, painful situation. Phew! What’s that? It’s not that easy? Well, yes, I see what you mean. It’s more complicated than it looks, because you’re negotiating your way through what feels like a minefield. Sure, you can make a specific issue easier, but only at someone else’s expense. There may be no magic cure to solve all the issues you face this weekend. But, if you tread carefully, you have the power to negotiate a better outcome. It’s the Dark of the Moon and your future can be revealed and changed. For inspiring news, pick up the phone. Call 0906 751 5612.
