OSCAR CAINER

Dear Oscar, I’m on the cusp of Scorpio and Sagittarius — do both forecasts apply? Also, I’m finding it hard to move on from a painful situation. Will I always feel pulled by different forces? Tiger Hi Tiger, Read only one sign, the one your Sun was in at the moment of your birth. (It is never astride two signs). With Jupiter, ruler of Sagittarius, in Scorpio now, Scorpionic themes of passion prevail. Yet, the coming opposition of Mercury and Mars will put many of our emotional issues into perspective. Oscar

ARIES Mar 21 — Apr 20

THERE’S not much satisfaction to be gained from emerging victoriously from an argument that you were bound to win. You’d stand a greater chance of feeling gratified by trying to lose it, or by choosing to enter a different, more difficult debate. As Mercury moves opposite your ruler, while they both form a rare T-square with Jupiter, some kind of dramatic scene looks inevitable. Your choice lies in how you traverse an unavoidable encounter. With the right approach, there’s a great discovery to be made. The total Lunar Eclipse makes July a powerful month. If you want positive change in your life, call 0906 751 5601.

TAURUS Apr 21 — May 21

WHEN people say that there’s no such thing as a free lunch, they understand that everything, everywhere comes with a string attached. Despite our best intentions, it is rare, if not impossible for anyone ever to give anything without an expectation that they will receive something in return. Which is not to say that we are not generous. No, we can be kind and compassionate and enjoy the gift of giving, too. And it’s in those altruistic moments that miracles happen. Watch out for those now. To make July magical for you, call your LATEST in-depth, four-minute, month ahead forecast now: 0906 751 5602.

GEMINI May 22 — June 22

DISAGREEMENTS happen. Even with our nearest and dearest there are inevitably times when our points of view are in conflict. Arguing with a philosopher or a lawyer calls for different skills, but isn’t dissimilar in purpose. So what do you think happens when someone argues with himself or herself? You’ve been debating the pros and cons of a proposition for so long that you’ve almost forgotten that you’re doing it. This state of unknowing is about to be resolved. Let the light of this week’s Full Moon show you the way to a happier, more harmonious life. Call your LATEST forecast: 0906 751 5603.

CANCER June 23 — July 23

UNDER the right circumstances and in sympathetic company, even the most optimistic of us has a sob-story to tell. On the other hand, we’ve all got reasons to celebrate. Even those who appear to be living a version of hell on earth have moments when they can smile and appreciate something. You try to make people’s lives happier. Of course, I’m not going to suggest that you stop doing that. But some folk feel very at home playing the victim role. You wouldn’t want to deprive them of that, would you? To make July magical for you, call your LATEST in-depth, four-minute, month ahead forecast now: 0906 751 5604.

LEO July 24 — Aug 23

WHAT are you doing wrong? You’re paying far too much attention to people who are telling you that you’re doing something wrong! You’ve been listening to negative projections, and they’re starting to affect your plans. What’s more, since the results aren’t quite as clear as you’d like, doubting your approach seems logical; even necessary. But while taking stock and reviewing is valuable, paying heed to all the pieces of advice being thrown at you is not. Listen, then follow what you instinctively know. The total Lunar Eclipse makes July a powerful month. If you want positive change in your life, call 0906 751 5605.

VIRGO Aug 24 — Sep 23

MOST people seem to get much more enjoyment from talking than listening. We love dreaming and dozing more than getting out of bed. Although we might say that we welcome change, most of us are happy for things to stay the same. Our memories are selective. We’re all capable of saying one thing and doing another and none of us lives life free of mistakes. Your latest challenge involves dealing with someone’s difficult behaviour. Remembering your own contradictions will help. The Full Moon brings potential for transformation. You can change your life. Your spookily accurate forecast is ready. Call 0906 751 5606.

LIBRA Sep 24 — Oct 23

IMAGINE a scene where the elements are competing to show how they can affect your behaviour. For this exercise, you’re wearing a heavy coat. As the wind gusts and blows, you grip your coat more tightly. Then, as the Sun radiates its heat, you take the coat off. So it is that more can be accomplished today if you act with generosity of spirit. Although a proactive intervention may feel appropriate, being kind, compassionate, supportive and gentler will bring a better outcome. The total Lunar Eclipse makes July a powerful month. If you want positive change in your life, call 0906 751 5607.

SCORPIO Oct 24 — Nov 22

USUALLY, when you’re nice to someone, they return your niceness. Even challenging people are more responsive when treated with civility. When we manage to meet rage with forgiveness, and ignorance with compassion, even the hardest of hearts can be melted and the most impossible of obstacles overcome. As Mercury moves opposite your ruler, there can be progress in a part of your life that’s been stuck. You don’t need to behave like a saint. But being kind will bring a sense of timely harmony. To make July magical for you, call your LATEST in-depth, four-minute, month ahead forecast now: 0906 751 5608.

SAGITTARIUS Nov 23 — Dec 21

WHEN people ask me how long it takes to study astrology, it’s hard to give a straight answer. I grew up listening to Jonathan talking about the actions of the planets. It feels as if I’ve spent all my life learning about the stars; it’s a course of study that can never truly be finished. When we’re passionate about something, our learning is open-ended. We always want to know more. You’re on a journey of self-discovery . . . and you’re about to take an important step forward on your path. To make July magical for you, call your LATEST in-depth, four-minute, month ahead forecast now: 0906 751 5609.

CAPRICORN Dec 22 — Jan 20

I WAS watching an old Monty Python sketch recently, the one where Michael Palin walks into an office and asks the man at the desk for an argument. They then argue about what an argument is. It’s very amusing, and has stood the test of time because it touches on a fundamental belief. We think arguments blow up out of the blue, rather than being engineered to create an adversarial attack. The argument running in the background of your life can be understood and moved on from now. To make July magical for you, call your LATEST in-depth, four-minute, month ahead forecast now: 0906 751 5610.

AQUARIUS Jan 21 — Feb 19

AS MERCURY moves opposite Mars, which is moving backwards through your sign, both planets are forming a tense alignment with Jupiter. That’s why you feel as if you have extra drive. You’re motivated and raring to sort out a niggling frustration. You’re ready, too, to ensure that something is properly understood. Yet this isn’t the easiest of topics or situations to deal with. No wonder you feel inclined to be dramatic and bold. Just don’t go too over the top today. Use your subtle skills, too. The total Lunar Eclipse makes July a powerful month. If you want positive change in your life, call 0906 751 5611.

PISCES Feb 20 — Mar 20

FROM the highly developed psychological laboratory of my local playground, I’ve been observing the competitive nature of parents. Teaching children to compete is a natural part of parenthood. Despite my best efforts, I encourage my son to climb higher and build bigger. This continues at school; we’ve all been encouraged to ‘do better’. Yet there are times when we’re able to step back and be kind and caring. If you’re compassionate rather than passionate today, all will be well. To make July magical for you, call your LATEST in-depth, four-minute, month ahead forecast now: 0906 751 5612.
