OSCAR CAINER

THE Moon is new in Scorpio. As it begins its cycle, it makes supportive and harmonious links with Neptune, the sensitive planet of dreams. Meanwhile, Jupiter, on the cusp of a triumphant return home to Sagittarius, is making tricky links with Uranus. They say that on a long march, it’s the last mile that proves to be the hardest. So, as gentle and enchanting as Neptune’s New Moon influence may be, we can’t afford to be lulled into complacency. Not when the stakes are so high and the opportunities so great.

ARIES Mar 21 — Apr 20

LIFE isn’t easy. Well, that’s what they say. Apparently, none of us has any spare time and we are all under too much pressure. I suppose if that’s what we keep hearing, it must be true. Folk with less hectic lives probably feel so guilty that they can’t enjoy themselves. With Uranus in your sign, if you have felt uncomfortable about an aspect of your world, you’ll now find you understand the reason for your discomfort. Then you’ll be able to juggle things and make yourself feel good. These are extraordinary times, as Jupiter (luck) and Uranus (innovation) change signs. Make the most of the opportunities. Call 0906 751 5601.

TAURUS Apr 21 — May 21

STRATEGISTS and negotiators understand that winning a fight is not the same as winning a battle. Sometimes, to gain a final victory, it can be worthwhile letting your adversary think they have the upper hand. This gives them the psychological space to relax and let down their guard. With the New Moon in your opposite sign, there’s a chance for you to maximise a moment of freedom and take action. If there’s something you’ve been prevented from doing, this is the chance to do it. These are extraordinary times, as Jupiter (luck) and Uranus (innovation) change signs. Make the most of the opportunities. Call 0906 751 5602.

GEMINI May 22 — June 22

WHETHER it’s giving advice or answering questions, people like the sound of their own voice. But that doesn’t mean the advice is thoughtful or the information correct. We can all find ourselves sharing our theories and vagaries with great confidence and authority. When faced with someone’s poised assessment of a situation today, it’s worth listening. But get a second (and even a third) opinion before you jump in headfirst. Don’t forget to trust what you know. These are extraordinary times, as Jupiter (luck) and Uranus (innovation) change signs. Make the most of the opportunities. Call 0906 751 5603.

CANCER June 23 — July 23

SOME folk are born great, while some grow into it and others are thrust into greatness. Which is all well and good, but not especially helpful if your life isn’t feeling particularly great. The truth is that some people seem to have an easier route because they’re not as perceptive as you. When you’re happy to stroll through life wearing metaphorical blinkers, it’s easy to stay focused on what you want to see. The New Moon promises success, as long as you work towards a true ambition. These are extraordinary times, as Jupiter (luck) and Uranus (innovation) change signs. Make the most of the opportunities. Call 0906 751 5604.

LEO July 24 — Aug 23

LEGAL loopholes exist. There are exceptions to every rule and extenuating circumstances for every job. And, even if you expect the iron fist of bureaucracy to come crashing down, there are potential saving graces. But where will you find your get-out-of-jail-free card? Well, it won’t reveal itself to someone who believes the game’s over. The New Moon invites you to read the small print of a situation carefully. The answer is in plain sight . . . and easy to instigate, too. These are extraordinary times, as Jupiter (luck) and Uranus (innovation) change signs. Make the most of the opportunities. Call 0906 751 5605.

VIRGO Aug 24 — Sep 23

CERTAIN things just have to be done. We all need to sleep, eat and put on clothes before heading outside. Even if we don’t always want to do these things, or struggle to be motivated, we don’t question their necessity. Yet we tend to overlook another significant, and equally necessary, activity. It’s the act of being happy. Under the New Moon, you can find a way to enjoy a situation that has been causing you a degree of stress. You’re about to find that it contains a reason to celebrate, too. These are extraordinary times, as Jupiter (luck) and Uranus (innovation) change signs. Make the most of the opportunities. Call 0906 751 5606.

LIBRA Sep 24 — Oct 23

NOW that Uranus has changed signs, a new balancing act is required. Your triedand-tested tricks don’t work as well as they used to, which has left you feeling more than a little unsettled. So you need to find a new way to approach the hurdles still in your path. Yet you have nothing to fear. The New Moon brings the promise of an idea that can be speedily implemented. You’ll soon be in the swing of things, pirouetting with ease through what appears to be a tricky scenario. These are extraordinary times, as Jupiter (luck) and Uranus (innovation) change signs. Make the most of the opportunities. Call 0906 751 5607.

SCORPIO Oct 24 — Nov 22

WITH the New Moon in your sign, there’s a good chance you’ll be able to get whatever you want. There is however, a chance you won’t like what you get! We seem to spend our lives racing around, trying to achieve goals and reach targets. No matter how sensible we are, we can get carried away by waves of enthusiasm that can take us to destinations we’re not sure we ever wanted to get to. You have a chance to achieve what you really want. That’s why it’s worth thinking about. These are extraordinary times, as Jupiter (luck) and Uranus (innovation) change signs. Make the most of the opportunities. Call 0906 751 5608.

SAGITTARIUS Nov 23 — Dec 21

THE old saying ‘all these things must come to pass’ is easy to forget, especially if we’re involved in the wrong issues for the wrong reasons. It’s easy to build reckless hopes on false promises and invent elaborate rules based on trendy, but shaky, beliefs. Then life brings us an epiphany, when we realise the ‘stuff’ we fill our lives with pales into insignificance compared to the world’s simple beauty. A new perspective offered brings an exciting improvement. These are extraordinary times, as Jupiter (luck) and Uranus (innovation) change signs. Make the most of the opportunities. Call 0906 751 5609.

CAPRICORN Dec 22 — Jan 20

ABSENCE makes the heart grow fonder and, though it’s not easy to experience, we recognise this as a truth. It seems absence promotes investigation and evaluation. When we have something on a plate, we don’t need to think about the qualities we enjoy in it, and, if we’re not careful, we end up taking it for granted. Something in your world seems enticingly close, yet excruciatingly out of reach. The New Moon indicates an opportunity. Stay inspired and alert. These are extraordinary times, as Jupiter (luck) and Uranus (innovation) change signs. Make the most of the opportunities. Call 0906 751 5610.

AQUARIUS Jan 21 — Feb 19

DON’T mind me. I’ll just put my feet up and wait until you’re ready to read your forecast. I’ll sing a little song while I wait. Oh, hello! You’re here. I knew you’d eventually show up. I intuited that we’d have our daily chat and there was no need for me to feel concerned that certain developments might have distracted you or that I’d slipped a little lower on your list of priorities. Today, you can have similar faith in your most optimistic sense of how events will unfold. These are extraordinary times, as Jupiter (luck) and Uranus (innovation) change signs. Make the most of the opportunities. Call 0906 751 5611.

PISCES Feb 20 — Mar 20

RELIGION and spiritual practices are popular because they help us make sense of the world in which we live. How else can we come to terms with the fact we don’t stay here for ever and have no idea where we will go? No wonder we feel insecure sometimes. Yet no matter how important or powerful we are, everyone’s in the same boat. Belief is a wonderful quality, which should be open to other people’s beliefs, too. Trust in yourself and you can help heal a disagreement today. These are extraordinary times, as Jupiter (luck) and Uranus (innovation) change signs. Make the most of the opportunities. Call 0906 751 5612.
