OSCAR CAINER

ARIES Mar 21 — Apr 20

NEW dishwashers and cars come with several years’ warranty. If something goes wrong, or doesn’t work as it should, we expect someone to take responsibility and fix it. If only the same could be said of the planet. Where are the maintenance people? Where’s the assistance? And why don’t its inhabitants always get the help they need? Although you might be feeling as though your warranty has run out, in fact some of your recent requests have been heard. Help is, finally, on its way. In an important week of powerful cosmic activity, change and transformation is possible. For good news, call 0906 751 5601.

TAURUS Apr 21 — May 21

THEY say that the road to hell is paved with good intentions, which always raises the question — what does the surface of the road to heaven look like? For all we know, it might be full of potholes, designed to test our resolve. Or maybe the route to paradise involves not trying too hard and stopping worrying. As your ruling planet Venus moves into Pisces, you don’t need to be concerned with the details of how you are going to get something or somewhere. You can take a step back — and trust. In an important week of powerful cosmic activity, change and transformation is possible. For good news, call 0906 751 5602.

GEMINI May 22 — June 22

THERE’S an old saying: ‘Where there’s a will, there’s a way.’ So where is your will taking you? And are you heading towards somewhere you want to go? Have you an ideal destination in mind? Have you listened to your intuition and allowed it to lead you towards somewhere that will fulfil your needs? As Venus changes signs, it empowers a desire for authenticity and self-reflection. You’re on the right path. But you’ll make faster progress if you’re being as honest with yourself as you can be. In an important week of powerful cosmic activity, change and transformation is possible. For good news, call 0906 751 5603.

CANCER June 23 — July 23

YOU have a simple question for which you’d like to find a simple solution. Surely that’s not asking too much? You know how the world works, though. It tends to rumble along on a mixture of fuzziness and blur. The route to success often seems to involve beating around any bushes you come across and hedging your bets. Just because you would like something to be clear-cut doesn’t mean the cosmos will give it to you. Today, if it’s clarity you seek, you’ll need to go out and make the change you wish to see. In an important week of powerful cosmic activity, change and transformation is possible. For good news, call 0906 751 5604.

LEO July 24 — Aug 23

AS QUICKLY as you are losing confidence in a long-standing belief, you’re gaining excitement about a newly held perspective. The cosmos is catapulting you towards a discovery. There once was a time when you would have felt intimidated and overwhelmed by the possibilities that are being presented to you. Now, however, you’re exhilarated and, more importantly, you’re prepared. The ground has shifted. It’s time to see if the sparkly new key you’re clutching will open the door to your future. In an important week of powerful cosmic activity, change and transformation is possible. For good news, call 0906 751 5605.

VIRGO Aug 24 — Sep 23

VIRGOANS have a tendency to downplay their attributes. Do you have any idea how smart, able and adept you are? As your ruler prepares to start moving forwards once again, a boost in your self-esteem is long overdue. So try to spend time today with people who appreciate your talents. Take a moment to reflect on your past successes. Exonerate yourself of responsibility for any of your previous mistakes. There’s little chance of you growing big-headed, but there’s much to gain if you’re confident now. In an important week of powerful cosmic activity, change and transformation is possible. For good news, call 0906 751 5606.

LIBRA Sep 24 — Oct 23

THE Bible recounts a story about it being easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter Heaven. Years ago, I visited a museum of miniatures, where they had a minuscule camel, lovingly carved from wood. It had been attached to a single strand of hair thin enough to pass through the eye of a needle. I bet someone very rich had commissioned that! Some things are harder than others. But, as Venus changes signs, it brings a reminder that nothing is ever impossible. In an important week of powerful cosmic activity, change and transformation is possible. For good news, call 0906 751 5607.

SCORPIO Oct 24 — Nov 22

THE people who think that life is tough tend to believe that survival will be easier if they toughen up. Other folk, who see the world through rose-tinted spectacles, think that all we need to do is appreciate the wonders of planet Earth and life will treat us wonderfully. Recently, you’ve tended to adhere to the former world view. Now, though, as Venus moves into a new celestial home, you’re being reminded of the gifts you’ve been given. It’s time to recognise your natural talents. You’re about to shine. In an important week of powerful cosmic activity, change and transformation is possible. For good news, call 0906 751 5608.

SAGITTARIUS Nov 23 — Dec 21

AS VENUS, the planet of love and abundance, changes signs, you are in the throes of discovering something important. Even if you are unsure about whether you like what you’re uncovering, there’s a clear cosmic signal that you will end up benefiting from all that you learn. You’re moving into the perfect period for identifying the changes that will have the most positive impact on your life. All you need do is keep looking. You’ll find ways to move forward that surprise you with their simplicity.

CAPRICORN Dec 22 — Jan 20

STEP into the sun. Claim what’s rightfully yours. The world is a different place to the one it was yesterday — and it will be different again tomorrow. You have too much inspiration, talent and potential to shrink shyly into the background. Frankly, you’re too important to waste any more of your time. Your leadership qualities are needed. You don’t need to turn into a blustering, bossy person — but a quiet, confident understanding of the situation will transform the lives of those around you. In an important week of powerful cosmic activity, change and transformation is possible. For good news, call 0906 751 5610.

AQUARIUS Jan 21 — Feb 19

BUILDING a stairway to the stars was never going to be easy. For a start, a huge hole has to be dug for the foundations. And the higher the building, the deeper and more solid the base needs to be. You have natural high standards, but good preparation will help you to get to the place at which you’ve dreamed of arriving. Yet this isn’t news to you — it’s often advice that you give to other people. I share it with you now because you’re rightly feeling excited. You’ve prepared enough: aim high. In an important week of powerful cosmic activity, change and transformation is possible. For good news, call 0906 751 5611.

PISCES Feb 20 — Mar 20

IF YOU’VE hit a bit of a monetary emergency, don’t panic. Be sensible and pragmatic, of course, but don’t let it get on top of you. Like the tide, money levels rise and fall, and these fluctuations are affected by the positions of the planets. Venus, the planet of abundance, moves into your sign, and, while this might not mean that your bank account is suddenly and immediately brimming, its influence will soon begin to make itself felt . . . which is perfect timing. Your social life is about to whirl, too. In an important week of powerful cosmic activity, change and transformation is possible. For good news, call 0906 751 5612.
