OSCAR CAINER

THEY say, ‘the darkest hour is just before dawn’. These are dark times, and many of us struggle to see a path. But places hidden from light are often where new life begins. It might not be at the pace we’d like, but a path out of the gloom is emerging. Whether we’re performing home-school mental gymnastics, applying frontline-worker fortitude, or battling box-set-finishing panic, we can cope with the challenges.

ARIES Mar 21 - Apr 20 THE New Moon brings an opportunity to correct an undesirable situation; a chance to repair a rift, heal an old wound and untangle a messy scenario once and for all. The million-dollar question is what do you want to do? And, while you’re thinking about that, what don’t you want to do? Could an old way of thinking be holding you back from your next move? You’re in a position of influence. If you’re hanging on to something you should let go of, you’ll find the courage to change. For valuable news about your financial and romantic prospects in 2021, call your year-ahead forecast: 0906 751 5601.

TAURUS Apr 21 - May 21 HIDDEN within you is an angel. When things are going well, everyone can see your halo and hear the music from your harp as you fly from person to person, bringing sparkles of joy. But, like all special beings who have to divide their time between planet Earth and the ethereal realms, you have to travel back and forth sometimes. And the vehicle that carries celestial messengers also transports spirits from a grumpier dimension. You can shake off that grouchy mood and sprinkle fairy dust. For good news about the possibilities that await you in 2021 listen to your year-ahead forecast. Call 0906 751 5602.

GEMINI May 22 - June 22 HOW many of your habits do you want to change in 2021? Even if you’re sincere about upending old routines and throwing out bad customs, you may need to alter far less than you imagine. Think of two straight lines, drawn in marker, on a piece of paper. They’re not quite parallel — but they’re not far off. When these lines begin their journey, there’s barely a difference, but as they progress, the gap widens. A tiny alteration has the power to make a big difference. Don’t miss out. For encouraging relationship insights, plus news on your financial outlook for 2021, call 0906 751 5603.

CANCER WHILE it’s June 23 - July 23 perfectly OK to feel happy for no apparent reason, does the same principle apply to unhappiness? Is that, too, an experience that can fall on us at any time, without so much as asking for permission? Perhaps so. Perhaps it needs no justification or rationalising. But even if that’s so, whenever and however it presents itself, it can always be dispelled by the powerful forces of faith, hope and optimism. Under the powerful New Moon, these qualities are becoming more available. For valuable news about your financial and romantic prospects in 2021, call your year-ahead forecast: 0906 751 5604.

LEO July 24 - Aug 23 ISN’T it about time you got round to writing that play, composing that opera, or storyboarding that film? The New Moon brings creativity and playfulness; it’s a time of open-mindedness and possibility. And if you have no grand aspirations? Channel this abundance of innovative energy into more pioneering solutions to everyday conundrums. It doesn’t matter how you apply this new way of thinking, only that you do. You can tap into a talent and use it to paint a new way of looking at your life. For good news about the possibilities that await you in 2021 listen to your year- ahead forecast. Call 0906 751 5605.

VIRGO ALTHOUGH you Aug 24 - Sep 23 may know what you want to do, you’re not quite sure why you want to do it. And if you’re uncertain about what’s motivating you, you need to understand that before you can proceed. They say that in order to be victorious, we need to know what we’re fighting against. And surely we need to know ourselves in order to achieve success? The New Moon is bringing both energy and opportunities your way. To make the most of them you just need to be as self-aware as possible. Don’t miss out. For encouraging relationship insights, plus news on your financial outlook for 2021, call 0906 751 5606.

LIBRA Sep 24 - Oct 23 ALTHOUGH you always take great care in making decisions, when you’re at your most intuitive, and have made your mind up, you can display all the qualities of a firebrand. At such times, you stand strong in your beliefs and are not afraid to make your voice heard above a cacophony of different voices. Your sense of purpose is being galvanised by the New Moon. Those who know you best will honour your views. And anyone who doesn’t agree won’t be hard to convince. For valuable news about your financial and romantic prospects in 2021, call your year-ahead forecast: 0906 751 5607.

SCORPIO Oct 24 - Nov 22 MOBILE phones contain vast abilities. Yet surely humans are blessed with equally impressive hidden powers? We’re unaware of the complex biological processes that occur which enable us to store memories so that we can draw on them when needed. And, just as our technology has a tendency to misbehave, so our brains sometimes provide us with ‘wrong’ data. A trip down memory lane has taken you to an odd place. The New Moon will help you put things into perspective. For good news about the possibilities that await you in 2021 listen to your year-ahead forecast. Call 0906 751 5608.

SAGITTARIUS Nov 23 - Dec 21 WHY do this? Oughtn’t you do that? Wouldn’t it be more sophisticated and appropriate to behave in this way instead? Or perhaps all you need to do is to avoid overcomplicating things. Life isn’t a game of chess. You can’t think too far ahead, or try to work out strategies to ensure that you come out winning. To get to where you want, you just need to know what you want. If you want to be in a better position, follow your instincts. Don’t miss out. For encouraging relationship insights, plus news on your financial outlook for 2021, call 0906 751 5609.

CAPRICORN Dec 22 - Jan 20 YOUR star sign is famous for a pragmatic sense of purpose, and air of responsibility. When I first studied astrology, I couldn’t understand why your sign had such a reputation. Most of the Capricorns I knew (and know) don’t fit this stereotype. Then I realised that it suits your purposes if everyone sees you this way. You’ve found the perfect disguise; it allows you to wreak all kinds of havoc without raising anyone’s suspicions. Don’t start believing your own publicity. There’s fun to be had. For valuable news about your financial and romantic prospects in 2021, call your year-ahead forecast: 0906 751 5610.

AQUARIUS Jan 21 - Feb 19 WE’RE all members of the ‘human race’. It’s such a strange turn of phrase. Does the mere fact of being born mean that we’re signed up for some kind of competitive battle? Even if we all secretly enjoy winning, and scoring points off one another, or getting to a destination faster than anyone else, we’re not running a race. The New Moon suggests that you can allow yourself to slow down and appreciate the good things in life. If you relax, you’ll find that there are more of them than you think. For good news about the possibilities that await you in 2021 listen to your year-ahead forecast. Call 0906 751 5611.

PISCES Feb 20 - Mar 20 I’M WRITING your forecast sitting at my desk. If you close your eyes, can you picture what’s in front of me? No way! You might be able to guess, though. And you might be right. But, since I’m not going to reveal the state of my worktop to you, you won’t ever know if your psychic abilities are correct or not.

I’m being deliberately unhelpful in an attempt to remind you that there’s a fine line between what we think we know and what we actually know. Try to hold back from making an assumption. Don’t miss out. For encouraging relationship insights, plus news on your financial outlook for 2021, call 0906 751 5612.
