OSCAR CAINER

GROUNDHOG Day derives from an idea that if a groundhog comes out of hibernation and sees its shadow, it will go back to its burrow and we’ll get six more weeks of winter. Today, thanks to the movie, we are reminded that every day brings choice: we can repeat ourselves or take a chance to change. The weekend’s Venus/Neptune link suggests we can change our view of the future while honouring the past.

ARIES Mar 21 - Apr 20 WE’RE the creators of our own realities. Each of us develops a unique relationship with the world based on what we believe, how we act and what we choose to focus on. Well, that’s what some folk suggest. And these days, especially with algorithms reflecting our views back at us, the world seems to verify that view.

The problem is that we can easily get entrenched in our thought patterns. This weekend brings insight that enables you to find a much more positive approach to what’s going on in your life. Do yourself a favour — treat yourself! There’s exciting news in your forecast. Call 0906 751 5601.

TAURUS Apr 21 - May 21 WORDS are important. But when we’re having a conversation, lots of information is conveyed by the person’s tone of voice, facial expressions and gestures. Context enriches our understanding. Which is why texts and emails can so easily be misunderstood. This weekend, inspired by your ruler’s link with insightful Neptune, you can look beyond recent disappointing news and view it in a more positive light. Although it didn’t contain the meaning/outcome you wanted, there’s a hidden, more inspiring interpretation. In a week of celestial creativity, transform your life. For your week-ahead forecast call 0906 751 5602.

GEMINI May 22 - June 22 HOW much can we know about our future from the way things are right now? There’s lots of uncertainty around. Yet much depends on the way we understand the processes at work in our world. In winter, it’s hard to imagine an orchard filled with fruiting trees. And a vast expanse of beach looks very different when the tide comes in. This weekend brings you a glimpse of a pattern in your life. If you look ahead with hope, you can make a decision that has a long-term positive effect. I’ve got much more to tell you. Your latest four-minute forecast is packed with insight. Call 0906 751 5603.

CANCER June 23 - July 23 IMAGINE you’re hungry and searching the cupboards for something to eat. You’ve got bread. You’ve got cheese. Great, a sandwich will sort you out. If, just as you’re about to tuck in, someone calls inviting you round for dinner, why would you turn them down? You might be under time pressure (and the quick snack will do the job). Or you might not be feeling sociable. This weekend brings a variety of options. If you’re willing to set normal deadlines/habits aside, you can choose one that brings lasting nourishment. To hear how your life could change for the better, call your latest week-ahead forecast: 0906 751 5604.

LEO July 24 - Aug 23 NEGATIVITY has a powerful, lingering effect. A bit like an unpleasant aroma, once it has been activated it hangs around. Like bad perfume, it settles on our clothes and follows us wherever we go. We have to take affirming action to get rid of the smell. This weekend’s Venus/Neptune link acts like a boost of air freshener. Just by recognising that you’re looking at a situation in your world with a negative slant, you can take immediate steps to reframe your approach and replace that bad smell with the sweet scent of hope. There’s excitement in the skies. Find out how to maximise your luck this week. Call 0906 751 5605.

VIRGO Aug 24 - Sep 23 ARE you sure you know who your enemies are? Don’t panic! I’m not suggesting there are people out to get you. But we’ve all got folk in our world who don’t seem to have our best interests at heart. How confident are you about your ability to identify those people? If you’ve been feeling misunderstood, or under pressure to perform, or as if you’ve got to fight to preserve something important, this weekend brings insight. Suppose you change your approach to them? You’ll be amazed (and delighted) by what transpires. Just four minutes on the phone could change your life. For your latest week-ahead forecast, call 0906 751 5606.

LIBRA Sep 24 - Oct 23 WE TEND to do things in the same old ways. What’s interesting, of course, is that once we’ve established a pattern, we continue it, even if the methodology isn’t particularly effective or efficient. But since we’re creatures of habit (not to mention too busy to reassess) we just carry on doing what seems easiest. This weekend, as your ruler, Venus, links with imaginative Neptune, you’re brilliantly positioned to apply an inspired solution to a tiresome problem. Feel free to experiment. You’ll see. Your week-ahead, in-depth forecast could be one of the most rewarding calls you make. Call 0906 751 5607.

SCORPIO Oct 24 - Nov 22 ‘WHAT the eye doesn’t see, the heart doesn’t grieve over.’ This piece of advice seems out of place nowadays. We know the danger of turning a blind eye to problems. Yet there are so many of them and it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. In your world now it’s worth taking a look at an issue you’re trying to avoid. Despite your best efforts to ignore it, it’s not going away. It’s getting bigger. Once you face it, you’ll find the inspiration (and support) you need to start dealing with it. And that’s going to be easier than you think. I’ve got a special message for you. Give me four minutes and I’ll give you the key to your future. Call 0906 751 5608.

SAGITTARIUS Nov 23 - Dec 21 WE ARE all bound by restrictions. In your world, there are things you can’t do, daren’t do, and probably shouldn’t do. Not to mention the things you can only get away with when other people aren’t looking. And those you’d rather no one else knew about! This weekend brings options to push against the regulations you feel constricted by. Your task is to be conscientious and to use these opportunities to benefit you and those you care about. Then you can make thoughtful, positive change. The future is waiting for you. And when you get there you are going to love it! For insight call 0906 751 5609.

CAPRICORN Dec 22 - Jan 20 WITH a plethora of planets in your sign, there’s no stopping you. Yet it’s possible you’re taking a while to appreciate their effects. Still, your power to influence, plus your rebooted enthusiasm, are being noticed by others. If you want to unleash the full potential of the celestial influences operating on you, this weekend brings opportunities your way. Say ‘yes’ to creative invitations. Engage in conversations. You can make connections that lead to inspiring, supportive relationships that will last long into the future. Your four-minute, week-ahead forecast is jam-packed full of important news. Call 0906 751 5610.

AQUARIUS Jan 21 - Feb 19 WHAT do you really need to focus on this weekend? And what doesn’t need to happen? It should, in theory, be easy to prioritise. But we fall into habits. We put ourselves under pressure. We have to take other people’s views on board. And, since these might differ to ours, we don’t always do what we want/need to do. Just because not everyone agrees with you on what’s important doesn’t make you wrong. By clearly expressing your views this weekend, you’ll get much more support than you think. Lift your spirits. Change your life! Your four-minute, week-ahead forecast has great news. Call 0906 751 5611.

PISCES Feb 20 - Mar 20 WHAT do you want to change? Which aspects of your world would you like to improve? Consider these questions carefully this weekend. You need to be sure you’re not just following an old way of thinking. Venus, the planet of love and attraction, is linking with your ruler, Neptune. Your sensitivity and creativity are being heightened. So is your ability to attract attention and support. You can move beyond any self-imposed restrictions and find an inspiring way forward that, up until now, hasn’t been possible. Dream big. Want to hear some priceless information about your week ahead? Call 0906 751 5612.
