OSCAR CAINER

matter how difficult things might seem, we can’t abandon joy or encourage misery. The New Moon calls for a different approach, with Venus and Jupiter encouraging us to take a chance on positivity.

WHEN I’m tired, hungry or worried, I can experience a ‘sense of humour failure’. The temptation is to bring others down to my level. I can’t count the number of times that’s made me feel better — because it never has! No

ARIES Mar 21 - Apr 20

HOPE is the psychological equivalent of a painkiller. We store it in our metaphorical bathroom cabinets, so it can be applied to the inevitable hurts we sustain in our lives. There are few sources of anxiety that don’t respond to it. Whatever the cause of upset, hope makes it better. But even though it’s wise to apply it to tricky situations, we need to be attentive about the amount we use. It’s important to take just enough aspirin to cure a headache, not so much that you mask the cause. Your life can significantly change for the better in 2020. For important news about romance and money, call 0906 751 5601.

TAURUS Apr 21 - May 21

IT’S easy to forget how miraculous this world of ours is, and how important it is to be grateful. Only when an extraordinary event occurs are we jolted out of our blasé approach, so that we see the world in all its splendour. If we’re not careful, we get so engrossed in our lives that beauty passes us by. What does your future look like? Well, that depends on whether you’re willing to look on the bright side! If you put as much effort as you can into recognising all that is special today, you’ll reap the benefits. There’s excitement in the skies at Chinese New Year. Find out how to maximise your luck. Call 0906 751 5602.

GEMINI May 22 - June 22

I DON’T have to tell a Gemini to read between the lines. It’s something you do without even noticing, and so thoroughly and unconsciously that you’re often unaware that the lines exist. You’re much more interested in what happens in the spaces between them: that’s where the interesting things occur. Yet there’s a chance that you’ve overlooked something recently. You’ve been taking something that needs to be questioned at face value. You can change that. Have you heard the news in your year-ahead forecasts? For valuable advice about love and money, call 0906 751 5603.

LEO July 24 - Aug 23

THEY say that ‘honesty is always the best policy’. But there are exceptions to every rule. Imagine if you had to deal with someone who was completely deranged, who you did not respect or trust? It might be right and sensible to break some ethical rules. Yet, since the mere act of being honest brings a level of protection, there’s still a case for always sticking with the truth. While you don’t need to reveal more of yourself than you’re comfortable with today, you have nothing to hide. Your predictions about romance and finance are ready! For a four-minute guide to your fortunes in 2020, call 0906 751 5605.

VIRGO Aug 24 - Sep 23

SOMETIMES, even clear-thinking Virgos find it hard to think straight. Although you appreciate order and logic, life has a way of bringing unexpected challenges and taking us all on ‘interesting’ diversions. Sometimes, there’s no choice but to respond intuitively and make spur-of-the-moment decisions. Yet what might drive you on at one moment might not have the same effect at another. You’re making the best decision you can possibly make in the situation you’re in. All will be well. For valuable insight in affairs of the heart, and money matters, hear your 2020 predictions. Make this year great! Call 0906 751 5606.

LIBRA Sep 24 - Oct 23

THERE are many reasons why people don’t listen to each other or communicate well. They could have fallen into a pattern of misunderstanding. Or perhaps they’re so consumed by their own worries they’re unable to hear what anyone else is saying to them. The danger is that sincere promises can be heard as threats, while unrealistic propositions are taken as real possibilities. You have a chance to look beyond an assumption and find inspiring reality today. Bring luck and love into your life as Venus (your ruler) links with sensitive Neptune. Maximise the opportunity. Call 0906 751 5607.

SCORPIO Oct 24 - Nov 22

NEWSPAPERS and websites have to publish new articles on a daily basis. So what happens on a slow news day, when they don’t have enough material to fill their pages? It must be tempting to take the stories they do have, and embellish them to make them more interesting. The same is true with politicians. They need to be seen to argue and debate with their counterparts in opposition. What would happen if everyone agreed? Would it impact on their existence? Ignore the pressure today, and relax. Want to hear some priceless information about 2020? Just pick up the phone! Call 0906 751 5608.

SAGITTARIUS Nov 23 - Dec 21

WHEN we have been through a painful experience, it’s hardly surprising that we try to avoid going through it again. ‘Once bitten, twice shy.’ It’s why people who have no first-hand experience tend to be more gung-ho. Yet, when you’ve been bitten, and made a full recovery, you have insight that can make you feel less intimidated than someone who can only imagine the situation and anticipate the worst. Something from your past can make your future better. With dynamic Mars in your sign, you have the energy and insight to change your life. Find out more: call 0906 751 5609.

CAPRICORN Dec 22 - Jan 20

WHERE are you headed? And how fast do you need to run to get there in good time? That depends on whether you’re trying to get up an escalator that’s travelling in the wrong direction. If you take a moment to pause and reassess, you might even find that you’re exactly where you need to be. There’s a strong celestial implication that you’ve already reached your destination and are within touching distance of your goal. If you look at what seems difficult, you’ll find an easy way round it. Your romance and money forecasts for 2020 are jam-packed full of good news. For a valuable guide, call 0906 751 5610.

AQUARIUS Jan 21 - Feb 19

AS WE head towards the New Moon in your sign heralding the start of the Chinese New Year, you’re embarking on a new adventure. It’s a bit late to rethink your plans now. You only have time to think about what you’re doing. Even if you wanted to change your mind, since you’ve already embarked on this journey, you might as well be as comfortable and settled as possible. There will be a time to reconsider. For now, just assume all is well… because it is! Treat yourself to your 2020 prediction! There’s exciting news about love and money in your four-minute forecasts. Call 0906 751 5611.

PISCES Feb 20 - Mar 20

HOW much remains to be done? How much should you say? How hard should you push yourself? And how far should you go? In each case, the answer is ‘not as much/hard/far as you think’. In fact, you’ve come further than you realise. A crucial process has been set in motion and, like a snowball rolling downhill, it’s picking up momentum and power. You’re in a far more fortuitous position than you know. So, since you can afford to take your foot off the accelerator, do so. Relax today.
