OSCAR CAINER

DIAMONDS are forever, sang Dame Shirley Bassey. It’s her birthday this weekend . . . so that’s her present sorted! These days, no one need risk life or limb to supply this sign of status. Diamonds are more easily (and ethically) made in a lab. As 2022 begins, we’re encouraged to value character, not carats. As the Sun aligns with Venus this weekend, core values are in the spotlight. If they’re worn proudly, there’ll be opportunities to sparkle.

ARIES Mar 21 - Apr 20 WE ALL deserve to be happy. So why do you suspect happiness isn’t on your horizon? Have you done something to incur the wrath of the cosmos? Don’t answer that! I’m not trying to get you to admit to past mishaps — I’m just reminding you we’ve all got skeletons hiding in our cupboards. And there’s no such thing as a vengeful force acting in your life. This weekend, if you consider yourself to deserve the best, you’ll be delighted by what comes your way. A change of mindset can unlock a whole world of potential. New! Your four-minute forecast for 2022. It’s going to be a better year than you think. Find out why: 0906 751 5601.

TAURUS Apr 21 - May 21 AS ANYONE who works in the retail industry knows, customers are much happier when prices are lowered than when they’re raised. We all like a bargain. That’s why marketing strategies create superficially high prices, which can be lowered to create ‘special’ offers . . . and offers that go on for ever. There’s an exchange you’re keen to participate in this weekend. If you want to achieve a satisfying, fair conclusion, no matter how much you may stand to gain from it, try your best to make it look as if you’re the person giving away the most. Don’t miss out. Your year-ahead forecast and your financial outlook for 2022 are ready. For good news, call 0906 751 5602.

GEMINI May 22 - June 22 DOES everything need to have its time and place? What would happen if you were to mix things up a bit? Throw some caution to the wind? Would you risk generating chaos in your view of the world? Or might you find your imagination started to flow and you were filled with ideas? You’ve been doing things according to your ‘book’ for a while. But something’s missing. The weekend brings you a chance to challenge some of your self-limiting beliefs and update your expectations. 2022 is a year of positive transformation. The planets are working in your favour. Call 0906 751 5603.

CANCER June 23 - July 23 ALTHOUGH human beings tend to take themselves very seriously, our identities are fragile and transitory. Our temperaments and characteristics adapt according to the situations we’re dealing with. And, when we’re aware of our changeable nature, we’re more able to enjoy ourselves. It’s when we hold on to our feelings that we lose our freedom. As you sense that an aspect of your world is starting to change, try to go with the flow. If you’re prepared to embrace the new, this adventure will bring positive results. 2022 begins with exciting celestial fireworks. To maximise their inspiring energy, call: 0906 751 5604.

LEO July 24 - Aug 23 WE TEND to take Shakespeare’s statements as indications of his views on life. When Macbeth, facing the destruction of his ambitions, said ‘life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage and then is heard no more’, it’s easy to assume he had a despondent view. Yet how does this perspective work alongside life-affirming lines such as “the earth has music for those who listen”? As your ruler, the Sun, links with Venus this weekend, your optimism can defeat negativity. A New Year. A new start. Find out what 2022 has in store for you in your year-ahead forecast. Call 0906 751 5605.

VIRGO Aug 24 - Sep 23 HAVE you ever stopped to wonder where everyone’s going? The cars, the buses, the trains, the planes . . . even in these strange times, there are people bustling around, trying to accomplish things. The whole journey process is even stranger when you realise that someone’s probably rushing to get to the place that you’re rushing away from. We all have our own agendas that we’re determined to fulfil. Don’t worry if something that seems perfectly logical to you this weekend makes no sense to someone else. Will you be happier and wealthier in 2022? For your inspiring forecast for the year ahead, call 0906 751 5606.

LIBRA Sep 24 - Oct 23 WHAT’S the point? What does it all mean? Since we can go round in circles without ever finding satisfying responses to these unanswerable questions, let’s just binge-watch another TV show. Too much philosophising doesn’t do anyone any good. It’s easy to get so caught up in doing something that we lose perspective. As Venus, your ruler, and the Sun conjoin this weekend, you can turn your energy away from a source of distraction and focus on what’s unfolding in your world. 2022 is going to be transformative. Find out how to make the most of the excellent cosmic climate. Call 0906 751 5607.

SCORPIO Oct 24 - Nov 22 IF ‘THIS’ happens, you risk having to deal with ‘that’. And ‘that’ could lead to a string of events you’d rather avoid having to deal with. At least that’s the narrative you’re telling yourself. If your expectations weren’t so negative, I’d be congratulating you on your creativity. But your ability to project into the future and conjure up difficulties has to be called into question. If you imagine yourself dealing easily with the issues you face, you’ll find that this weekend brings much more assistance and success than you expect. New! Your four-minute forecast for 2022. There’s great news for you in your year-ahead prediction. Call 0906 751 5608.

SAGITTARIUS Nov 23 - Dec 21 THERE’S only one way to tell whether you’re standing on solid ground or sinking into quicksand. You need to try making a move. If you shift your weight and sense you’re being sucked into something, there’s no need to panic. With Mars, the power planet, in your sign, there’s no doubt you’re making progress. Even if you feel stuck, you have support that will provide you with the assistance you need. This weekend, ask for help if you need it, and you’ll free yourself to explore new territory. For a special message about the powerful possibilities that await you in 2022 listen to your year-ahead forecast. Call 0906 751 5609.

CAPRICORN Dec 22 - Jan 20 CHARM is a powerful thing. Those who are naturally gifted with an abundance of it have no idea how it works . . . things just tend to work out well for them. They’re effortlessly charming. People who know how to ‘turn on the charm’ and manipulate situations to their advantage evoke a very different response. You’re an astute Capricorn. This weekend, all you need to do is trust your instincts and be yourself. You’ll be more than able to see through anyone’s attempts to be anything other than true to themselves. The new year has started in spectacular style. To take advantage of the power of the heavens, call 0906 751 5610.

AQUARIUS Jan 21 - Feb 19 WE ALL know the theory . . . if at first we don’t succeed, we should try and try again. But then what? Suppose we don’t get anywhere? Isn’t that the time to try something different? There comes a point where you need to walk away. It’s just not always easy to know when that point has been reached. With quick-thinking Mercury in your sign, you’re right to persist. Just because there’s no easy answer to the situation you’re trying to fix doesn’t mean that there isn’t one. This weekend, you can find it. We’re settling into a new year and a new beginning. Get off to a perfect start. Call your year ahead forecast: 0906 751 5611.

PISCES Feb 20 - Mar 20 YOU’RE not the kind of person who does what everyone else is doing just because they’re doing it. You’re a Piscean. You can swim against the tide and you’ll only accept what you’re asked to accept when you’ve thought it through. Which isn’t to say that you can’t compromise. In fact, you have a talent for being able to persuade other people to adapt their plans for the greater good. This weekend, you can redress an imbalance that’s causing a tension. Just taking time to listen will resolve it and restore harmony. New! Want to know what 2022 has in store for you? For valuable news in your year-ahead prediction, call 0906 751 5612.
