OSCAR CAINER
I suffer from a very British affliction: the inability to ask for what I want without feeling the need to apologise. Of course, this isn’t a trait unique to Britain. And, historically, it hasn’t stopped us from claiming much that wasn’t actually ours. But, although it’s always advisable to tread carefully, Neptune’s links to Mars today and Venus this weekend insist that we shouldn’t feel guilty about our desires. If we’re sensitive to what others want, there’s little to stop us from successfully pursuing dreams.
ARIES I WONDER what the Mar 21 — Apr 20 poet whose words became The Star-Spangled Banner would think about today’s celebrity culture, such as America’s Next Top Model and Donald Trump? Would they find the optimism inspired by their words to be at odds with the reality? Although you might feel as if the gulf between your dreams and your day-to-day life is widening, don’t feel downtrodden. Even the surest roads have rocky moments. You’re on the right path. This weekend, you’ll see proof of that. In a week of exceptional cosmic activity, make the most of the exciting potential for positive change. Call 0906 751 5601.
TAURUS AT LAST, a penny Apr 21 — May 21 has dropped. Phew! It’s a relief to be able to start making sense of a series of confusing clues. Yet, this feeling of liberation comes mixed with other less clear emotions. You’re in a position in which you can no longer cling onto a sense of hope. Now it’s time to face a reality which once seemed harsh and hard to handle. Yet, following Neptune’s link to Mars, you’ll discover hidden depths to your ability to improvise. Your worries are dissipating. It’s an exceptional week. The Astrological Stellium brings change and transformation. For important news, call 0906 751 5602.
GEMINI THERE’S no May 22 — June 22 reason to blame yourself just because there’s something you can’t understand. Some disagreements are nonsensical, no matter which angle you approach them from. Some things, including cosmological developments, defy explanation. So what should you do if you’re facing a conundrum? Try treating it with the respect it deserves and stop trying to make it conform to your idea of logic. Sometimes the thing you can do to help a crazy situation is to be a bit more crazy! In a week of exceptional cosmic activity, make the most of the exciting potential for positive change. Call 0906 751 5603.
CANCER WHEN a June 23 — July 23 situation starts to spiral out of control, you can either invest all your energy into fighting against it and try to pull things back into order, or you can go with the chaotic flow and see where it takes you. Well, at least these are the most obvious options. Some people think you should try to take control, and then give up and spiral. Others think you should try spiralling and see where you end up. As imaginative Neptune and powerful Mars link, whichever way will be an inspiring spiral. It’s an exceptional week. The Astrological Stellium brings change and transformation. For important news, call 0906 751 5604.
LEO WHAT’S genuinely July 24 — Aug 23 important, and what only seems as if it is? Where, in your world, has a situation lost its sense of proportion? How is a deep-rooted belief skewing your ability to think clearly? It’s all well and good to follow your heart. But, in this instance, when you’re so uncertain about what to do, your head needs to have a say in the matter. A current plan needs a significant rethink. This weekend, if you look things over with fresh and imaginative eyes, an easier route forward will appear. In a week of exceptional cosmic activity, make the most of the exciting potential for positive change. Call 0906 751 5605.
VIRGO SCUBA divers who Aug 24 — Sep 23 reach the ocean floor often have an experience of cloudiness followed by clarity. The sand they stir up needs to settle before they can see where they are. In similar ways, we put ourselves through challenging experiences which lead us into positions from which we can see differently. As Mars and Neptune link today, it seems the situation which is giving you most difficulty in your world will take you somewhere offering a new perspective of great value. It’s an exceptional week. The Astrological Stellium brings change and transformation. For important news, call 0906 751 5606.
LIBRA WHEN grown-ups Sep 24 — Oct 23 used to ask what you wanted to be when you grew up, did you put much thought into your answer? Or did you simply tell them the first thing that came into your head? Or plump for your latest craze? Even if you had a concrete plan that grew to define the decisions you went on to make, your knowledge, plans and experience have changed over time. We never stop growing. Don’t allow your choices to be resolutely wed to beliefs and ideas you devised even a little while ago. In a week of exceptional cosmic activity, make the most of the exciting potential for positive change. Call 0906 751 5607.
SCORPIO IT’S AN Oct 24 — Nov 22 expression used by people who want to lose weight — ‘A moment on the lips is a lifetime on the hips.’ We use it to help us resist tempting slices of pizza and cake when we’re on a diet. It’s not true, though. Throughout our lives, we can put weight on and take it off again. When this weekend presents you with options that are easy for you to do, does that mean that you should do them? Not necessarily! Don’t let your drive to create change prevent you from enjoying what’s naturally unfolding. It’s an exceptional week. The Astrological Stellium brings change and transformation. For important news, call 0906 751 5608.
SAGITTARIUS YOU’RE a Nov 23 — Dec 21 talented person, with skills that make you stand out. You’re right to be proud of these abilities. Yet these very same talents can sometimes be the reason why you don’t always do as well as you expect. You have hidden depths. There’s a lot going on beneath your optimistic, sociable exterior which is not always apparent, even to you. This weekend, if you feel as if you’re out of sync with other people’s plans, it’s only because you have an important agenda to deal with. In a week of exceptional cosmic activity, make the most of the exciting potential for positive change. Call 0906 751 5609.
CAPRICORN WITH Venus Dec 22 — Jan 20 in your sign and a favourable cosmic climate, you must be wondering why you haven’t won the lottery yet. Why weren’t you out for dinner last night with the fantasy person of your choice? Hmmm. So life isn’t as good as you’d like it to be? In that case, at least you don’t have to worry about things going pear-shaped or you losing your advantage. This weekend, the celestial indications are clear: relax and enjoy all that seems ordinary in your world. That’s where you’ll find the gifts. It’s an exceptional week. The Astrological Stellium brings change and transformation. For important news, call 0906 751 5610.
AQUARIUS SOMEONE Jan 21 — Feb 19 seems to believe that if they hassle you for long enough, you’ll agree to their demands. It’s taking all your energy to resist. But is resistance the most skilful way to manage this situation? Try thinking about what’s lying behind their approach. Most likely, it’s their insecurities which are fuelling their difficult attitude. This weekend will show you that all is resolvable with a conversation. Take it easy with yourself, and you’ll find an easy way to communicate. In a week of exceptional cosmic activity, make the most of the exciting potential for positive change. Call 0906 751 5611.
PISCES IF YOU’VE ever tried Feb 20 — Mar 20 to create total darkness, you’ll know that it’s not easy to do. Light has a way of creeping in. Even if it’s dark outside, there are sources of illumination. So you need heavy curtains or thick blinds, and tape to seal around the edges. Even then, once your eyes have grown used to the darkness, you’ll be able to pick out objects. Hope is even harder to shut out. Following the link between Mars and your ruling planet Neptune, you can expect more reasons to feel optimistic this weekend. It’s an exceptional week. The Astrological Stellium brings change and transformation. For important news, call 0906 751 5612.
