OSCAR CAINER

HI OSCAR, WE’RE looking at wedding dates. Should I avoid Mercury retrograde? DESPINA HI DESPINA, ACTUALLY, having Mercury retrograde is probably more difficult during the planning stages than the actual day! Since Mercury remains in its shadow until the end of July, certain issues won’t disappear overnight. But every problem we deal with now will eliminate a tricky surprise later.

ARIES Mar 21 - Apr 20 IS IT better to be a little fish in a big pond, or a large fish in a small one? A cog in a machine, or a large piece of the engine? Finely tuned devices need all their parts to be functioning if they are to work effectively. Just one tiny glitch can cause a complete breakdown. So size doesn’t always relate to our ability to impact on a situation. Recently, you’ve been contemplating your significance in regards to an important relationship. Here comes a sign that where you want to matter most, you do. What’s in the sky for you? Helpful planetary alignments. For the good news in your in-depth forecast, call 0906 751 5601.

TAURUS Apr 21 - May 21 SOME people say that we make our own reality. They argue that our dreams, deep-rooted ambitions and darkest fears mysteriously draw events and people into our lives that will perpetuate our unconscious desires. They think that even the physical, tangible world around us is influenced by these inner fears and hopes. Just as a spider draws in a fly, so what we desire comes into our world. If you’ve conjured up a situation you’re unhappy about, it’s the perfect time to create another web.

You’ve got so much to look forward to. Find the inspiration you need in your latest four-minute forecast. Call 0906 751 5602.

GEMINI

May 22 - June 22 THE list of your talents is long. You’re blessed with skills and abilities that make you a popular person to be around. Yet it’s also why some people find it hard to relate to you. They find it easier to find fault than to be generous with praise because they think it puts them in a lower position on the scale of success. Their pride gets in the way of their praise. With Venus in your sign, you’re attracting even more attention than usual. You can overlook criticism and be your brightest best today.

CANCER June 23 - July 23 YOU don’t have to be a sports fan to notice how few live events have taken place recently. For weeks, during lockdown, highlights of past sporting tournaments replaced the action we’d normally have watched on our TV screens. Yet even when we know what the result is going to be, watching the battle can still be an emotional rollercoaster. There’s a sense of hope at the start of any match, when we feel as if there’s a chance that either side will win. You’re moving into a strong position. Give it your best shot.

LEO July 24 - Aug 23 IMAGINE that you’ve just got back from a trip. You’re nearly home when you see a sign that reminds you that your favourite restaurant, selling your favourite food, has reopened. If you make a short detour, you could pick something up on your way. Will it take long? Now think about someone who’s forever calling you and asking you for favours. Would you mind just going slightly out of your way for them? The cosmos brings a reminder that you deserve a treat. Look after your own needs today. What’s in the sky for you? Helpful planetary alignments. For the good news in your in-depth forecast, call 0906 751 5605.

VIRGO Aug 24 - Sep 23 REMEMBER falling off your bike when you were little? A grazed knee would be fussed over a little, you’d be told you were ‘all better now’ and you’d scamper off, healed and happy. Even in cases of a slightly bigger accident, the kindness you received made at least as much difference as a plaster and painkillers. When we’re grown up, simple gestures retain a hold over us. It’s often the littlest things that make the biggest difference. A small gesture can bring a smile to someone today. You’ve got so much to look forward to.

LIBRA Sep 24 - Oct 23 ‘IF YOU fail to plan, you’re planning to fail.’ So much for spontaneity! Some folk really do rigidly adhere to their schedules, minimising the chance for anything untoward to occur. But when we have no room to manoeuvre, we can find ourselves squashed into very tight corners with nowhere to turn. If a situation in your world is wilder and more unstructured than you’d like it to be, the cosmos enables you to find an innovative approach today. Use the energy available to make a change you desire. Auspicious alignments suggest good times are on their way. Learn more in your latest in-depth forecast. Call 0906 751 5607.

SCORPIO Oct 24 - Nov 22 IT SEEMS that much of our modern medication is designed to disguise or suppress symptoms. It can be so effective that we can forget we were ever ill. Sure, there might be the odd side-effect or two but we can always take another pill to deal with that. Eventually, though, if we’re not careful, by medicating so many sideeffects we end up complicating the situation beyond what it ever needed to be. Don’t look for temporary solutions to a problem. A cure is always better than a plaster.

SAGITTARIUS Nov 23 - Dec 21 IT’S as if you’ve fallen into a hole and are so far below the ground that you have no idea where you are, or how you’re going to make it back up into the light again. But before you start to panic, what’s that slung over your shoulder? The bag you’re carrying contains the

metaphorical equivalent of climbing gear. Not only do you have what you need to get out of your current situation, when you start using what you have you’ll realise you don’t need to expend much effort to get back on track. What’s in the sky for you? Helpful planetary alignments. For the good news in your in-depth forecast, call 0906 751 5609.

CAPRICORN Dec 22 - Jan 20 AH, THE Big Bad Wolf. He must be the busiest baddie in fairytale land. From Little Red Riding Hood to The Three Little Pigs, he certainly made his presence felt. But how many real-life wolves have you heard of dressing up as a grandmother? Very few, indeed! So why are we so intent on warning our children about the dangers of completely imaginary threats? Before you continue with your plan to get to the bottom of a debilitating fear, make sure it’s not just a figment of your imagination.

AQUARIUS Jan 21 - Feb 19 IT’S not always easy to distinguish between excitement and anxiety. Since the two emotions share common features, with a bit of practice it’s possible to shift anxious feelings to a more optimistic approach. Which is fine . . . unless you’re feeling particularly apprehensive. So why not try to imagine what your future self would say to reassure you about the situation you’re facing? The cosmos is offering the equivalent of a supportive arm. You’ve got the resources to do what you need to do. Auspicious alignments suggest good times are on their way.

PISCES Feb 20 - Mar 20 WHEN I was a child, my uncle had a waterbed. They were all the rage, supposedly able to lull you gently off to sleep — a bit like lying on a Lilo on a gently moving ocean. I slept on it once. And let me tell you that was not my reality. Rolling over? Impossible. Lying still? No way. Maybe it was a good example of why you shouldn’t follow fashionable fads. Maybe I was too stuck in my idea of what to sleep on. Don’t feel obliged to make a mainstream choice when you’ve got a particular need to fulfil today.
