JONATHAN CAINER

Hello Jonathan, You wrote about possible reasons why the heavens influence events on Earth and seemed to conclude there may be no explanation that fits the way we understand the physical world. What about gravity? Doesn’t the Moon affect ocean tides and even the bloodflow within our bodies? Why wouldn’t Jupiter exert a similar force? Lucie Dear Lucie, You are right about lunar gravity. Even the most sceptical critic can’t deny that. But, unless science finds a way to measure tiny fluctuations, Jupiter’s influence (or that of Mars or Venus) is unlikely to be explained by gravity.

ARIES Mar 21—Apr 20 WE ALL worry more than we need to. But then, perhaps it is because we are worried that we take sensible steps. If these help us avoid situations that might otherwise give rise to an even greater worry, we could argue that this worrying is nothing to worry about! Some might even argue that it is at the time when we feel not in the least bit worried that we should probably be most worried. A possible reason to worry now looms. But so, too, is a far more convincing reason not to worry! Discover what the Dark of the Moon reveals about you. I’ve got news that will make your spine tingle and your heart leap. Call 0906 751 5601. TAURUS Apr 21—May 21 WHY, to quote the old reggae song, are there ‘more questions than answers’? Maybe because many of those questions have much the same answer. We may not need all the answers we think we need. We may be better off sticking to the few solutions that we know to be wise and reliable. Not that I’m encouraging you to be narrowminded this week. But during a time when the New Moon may provoke a sense of passing insecurity, it is good to remain focused on what you already know works well. Now, during the Dark of the Moon, your future can be revealed . . . and changed. for your New spookily accurate forecast call: 0906 751 5602. GEMINI May 22— June 22 WHAT if you think you have made a mistake, but you haven’t. The only mistake you are making is in assuming an error. While I don’t want to give the impression that the New Moon in your sign renders you astrologically infallible, I urge you to err towards confidence. You have more reason to believe in yourself than you realise, and there is more to look forward to than you know. Don’t let negativity detract from what should be a positive experience. It’s the mystic Dark of the Moon. I looked into your future and recorded a very special forecast. It will touch your heart and lift your spirits. Call 0906 751 5603. CANCER June 23 — July 23 SUPERMAN has to eat his breakfast each day, just like the rest of us. As must the Queen. Celebrities, be they real or imaginary, are not without needs and requirements of a basic nature. That doesn’t invalidate their importance and nor should you feel in any way demeaned or undermined by your own awareness of a pressing necessity. While it preoccupies you, your power to shine like a star or soar high in the sky like some legendary angel may be temporarily diminished. But that won’t last long. Discover what the Dark of the Moon reveals about you. I’ve got news that will make your spine tingle and your heart leap. Call 0906 751 5604. LEO July 24 — Aug 23 WHEN powerful emotions rise up in us, we find it hard to push them back down. We also find it hard to believe that others are not experiencing them quite as intensely. That’s even more the case when we feel that they ought to be. There’s a strange kind of disconnect now, between how you seem to be seeing the world and how someone else is. The New Moon implies that all will be fine as long as you make allowances for the way in which we all have different reactions and responses. Now, during the Dark of the Moon, your future can be revealed . . . and changed. for your New spookily accurate forecast call: 0906 751 5605. VIRGO Aug 24—Sep 23 THEY say everything happens for a reason. But is that reason always a good reason? And how ‘reasonable’ is that reason? What if it is happening because someone is throwing their weight around, or because a daft decision has been made? Are you just supposed to accept a situation? Aren’t you entitled to an explanation that makes sense and feels right? Of course you are. But where, lately, you’ve been having to take a lot on trust, this week you’ll see proof your faith has not been misplaced. It’s the mystic Dark of the Moon. I looked into your future and recorded a very special forecast. It will touch your heart and lift your spirits. Call 0906 751 5606. LIBRA Sep 24—Oct 23 THE more we look at what’s not right, the more we find to criticise. The more we find fault, the more fault we find! The more we pick at a wound, the less chance it has to heal. The more we worry about something going wrong, the more we create a situation in which everyone is so nervous, simple things become difficult. Yet this week, you need merely turn your attention to what’s good — and won’t stop being good, no matter what else seems bad. Positivity begets positivity, as you’ll soon see! Discover what the Dark of the Moon reveals about you. I’ve got news that will make your spine tingle and your heart leap. Call 0906 751 5607. SCORPIO Oct 24 — Nov 22 YOU’D like someone to speak more plainly, you’d like a situation to be less complicated, a way forward to be more obvious and a source of pressure to be less intense. That’s a large wish list for a Monday. What’s the likelihood of getting any of those wishes granted? Actually, you’ll be surprised and reassured by the various ways in which the cosmos shows you support and soon brings you clarity. Pay attention to what can’t be wrong; then ‘what can’t be right’ will soon become obvious! Now, during the Dark of the Moon, your future can be revealed . . . and changed. for your New spookily accurate forecast call: 0906 751 5608. SAGITTARIUS Nov 23—Dec 21 WHAT’S that old proverb ‘Make hay while the Sun shines’? Doesn’t it say something about checking the weather forecast first? You surely don’t want to go out into the field, only to find that an unexpected shower has scuppered your plans and ruined all your good work so far. But then, you need it to keep shining for only a little while longer. If you focus on doing what needs to be done, you’ll deal with everything that has to be dealt with in the nick of time. Isn’t that all that matters? It’s the mystic Dark of the Moon. I looked into your future and recorded a very special forecast. It will touch your heart and lift your spirits. Call 0906 751 5609. CAPRICORN Dec 22—Jan 20 ADEPT problemsolvers often find themselves with an ever-growing list of problems. What’s the answer to this problem? Is it to become less successful so as to reduce the number of people who expect you to work miracles? Or is it to learn the art of making distinct separations so that you can say: ‘I may be able to solve this problem, but that doesn’t oblige me to solve that one as well.’ You’re a kind, caring, helpful person. Support as many good causes as you can this week. It won’t be a problem! Discover what the Dark of the Moon reveals about you. I’ve got news that will make your spine tingle and your heart leap. Call 0906 751 5610. AQUARIUS Jan 21—Feb 19 THE life of a hero is rarely dull. Heroines attract drama. Only ordinary people lead ordinary lives. Or do they? You have reason to see yourself as being a little heroic, if only because of all the challenges you have risen to and the never-ending stream of adventure and, sometimes, misadventure that you get up to. How then, can you expect a quiet life when you’re dealing with all that? You probably can’t. But you can expect to experience success on a heroic scale this week. Now, during the Dark of the Moon, your future can be revealed . . . and changed. for your NEW spookily accurate forecast call: 0906 751 5611. PISCES Feb 20—Mar 20 AS EVERY gym buddy will confirm, the more effort you make, the more effort you have to keep making. Once stretching yourself as far as you can becomes comparatively easy, you’ll find you have to stretch yourself even further if you want to keep building muscle and burning the calories. Is that bad news? Only if you hate doing the exercise. The secret is to allow yourself to enjoy yourself. If you’re happy with what you’re doing, you’ll only be happier when you do more. And you can be happy this week It’s the mystic Dark of the Moon. I looked into your future and recorded a very special forecast. It will touch your heart and lift your spirits. Call 0906 751 5612.
