JONATHAN CAINER

Hi Jonathan, Regarding Free Will and Destiny, for me it is like a Play-Station game. God knows the outcome (we will all evolve) and we are free to make choices along the way, rise to challenges, fall down and die, come back and do things differently until we eventually get there. We take as much time as we take. We have forever. Deb

Dear Jonathan, Maybe an all-knowing God is one that knows all permutations of an event and possible outcomes. All possible ‘realities’ exist at the same time. We just decide which one we live. Keith

ARIES

Mar 21 — Apr 20

EVERY so often, we end up in impossible positions or unbelievable situations. We think ‘this can’t be happening’. The real surprise is why we find it surprising. Is not the whole of human existence impossible and unbelievable? Where do we come from? Where are we going? What are we doing here? We can’t explain any of that, yet we somehow feel that all else in our life ought to make some sense. Be glad today, of what’s baffling. See it as proof that a miracle cannot be ruled out. For that’s what it is! The powerful Celestial Finger of Fate really can transform your world. For four minutes of valuable advice, call 0906 751 5601.

TAURUS

Apr 21 — May 21

YESTERDAY, I mused upon how we could have descended from the apes, if health and safety had been a priority. The experts (or at least those whose religious beliefs don’t cause them to deny Darwin) tell us we evolved by discovering fire and developing tools. But fire gets so hot. Tools are so sharp. Not that life in the treetops doesn’t require a risk assessment, too, but . . . well, all I’m saying now, is that there is something you may need to be wary of, but should not be scared of. It represents your next big leap. Life may never be the same again! The Celestial Finger of Fate points to untold possibilities. Let me explain. Call 0906 751 5602.

GEMINI

May 22 — June 22

‘COMPETITION,’ say the so-called experts, ‘drives prices down and standards up.’ ‘It is,’ they say, with the same apparently unassailable air of authority, ‘not just good for commerce, but for individual development, which is why schools are so fond of fostering it.’ Isn’t that a bit like saying whips are good for horses because they make them go faster? There is a caring, conscious way you can address an unsatisfactory situation and bring about positive change today. Don’t feel obliged to pursue the less imaginative path. The powerful Celestial Finger of Fate really can transform your world. For four minutes of valuable advice, call 0906 751 5603.

CANCER

June 23 — July 23

NO MATTER how adventurous we may be, we all prefer to do what we already know how to. If a situation looks appealing we will still try to avoid it if claiming the reward first requires us to get an all-too-vivid reminder of what we have been beaten by in the past. Often, we don’t like to say that this is the issue, so we come up with other reasons. We find excuses and explanations to hide behind. But if you are brave enough now to try what you once tried before, you may find this time the outcome is far more encouraging. Life may never be the same again! The Celestial Finger of Fate points to untold possibilities. Let me explain. Call 0906 751 5604.

LEO

July 24 — Aug 23

THE best teachers know how to make learning fun and here, at the University of Life, only the best educational methods are followed. So, if the lessons don’t seem to be amusing, inspiring and rewarding, perhaps the students are not entering into them with quite the right attitude. We each have a duty to play our part in the process of discovery and self-development. If you feel that you don’t understand what it is that you are being asked to learn, request a little help from the cosmos today. It will be granted. The powerful Celestial Finger of Fate really can transform your world. For four minutes of valuable advice, call 0906 751 5605.

VIRGO

Aug 24 — Sep 23

I SUGGESTED yesterday that you could provide a listening ear to someone who needs help in clarifying their thoughts and feelings. I should have added that you might benefit from such assistance, too. And, at the risk of turning this forecast into a confession — and thus you into my psychotherapist — I must apologise for omitting another key point. Lack of clarity is not always expressed as uncertainty! Confusion very often presents as delusion. And the wise must patiently see past this. What a good job you are so smart. Life may never be the same again! The Celestial Finger of Fate points to untold possibilities. Let me explain. Call 0906 751 5606.

LIBRA

Sep 24 — Oct 23

LEGEND has it that President Truman had a sign on his desk that said: ‘The buck stops here.’ But that wasn’t really true. It would surely be more accurate to say the buck only temporarily rested with him during his time in office. Ultimately, it moved on to Eisenhower, his successor. And on its way there, it passed to the American electorate. That’s the thing about bucks, they are always moving and rarely stop where most folk think they ought to. But you can track one down if you really try today. The powerful Celestial Finger of Fate really can transform your world. For four minutes of valuable advice, call 0906 751 5607.

SCORPIO

Oct 24 — Nov 22

‘LOVE laughs at a King, Kings don’t mean a thing, On the street of dreams . . .’ Another lovely line, today, from Sam Lewis, who wrote For All We Know, which we quoted yesterday. Lewis was a Scorpio and On The Street Of Dreams seems especially apt now as you deal with a situation in which many conventional values and priorities pale into insignificance. If sense is to be made of what’s happening, it must involve focusing on the human, heartfelt, emotional side of a story. Status and wealth are all but irrelevant. Life may never be the same again! The Celestial Finger of Fate points to untold possibilities. Let me explain. Call 0906 751 5608.

SAGITTARIUS

Nov 23 — Dec 21 MESSAGE from the publishers. We regret to announce Mr Cainer has been unavoidably delayed so there is no forecast today. The rest of this space will be left blank. Only readers born with a profound

psychic gift will see words in this space. If they do, they can take this as cosmic confirmation they are in a position to take charge of their own destiny by stepping bravely into the breach and meeting an urgently arising need. You just saw all that, didn’t you? Well, go on then. Be heroic today. The powerful Celestial Finger of Fate really can transform your world. For four minutes of valuable advice, call 0906 751 5609.

CAPRICORN

Dec 22 — Jan 20

WE WERE reminiscing yesterday about the cartoons of Robert Crumb. Well, I was; you may not recall the U.S. alternative comics of the early Seventies, and characters such as Fritz The Cat or Mr Natural. But I was keen to recall a little man who was drawn as if he were being viewed from the ground up, so his feet were larger than the rest of him. He’d be marching forward, often with an upraised thumb, saying ‘keep on truckin’. That remains the most relevant advice I can offer you today. All will be well if you do. Life may never be the same again! The Celestial Finger of Fate points to untold possibilities. Let me explain. Call 0906 751 5610.

AQUARIUS

Jan 21 — Feb 19

‘CREDIT where credit is due.’ So goes the old saying — though some folk feel it is no longer being applied quite as freely or as fairly since the banks began to collapse in 2008. But that’s not really the kind of credit we need to discuss today. What matters (or appears to matter) more is the point of origination of an idea or a suggestion. Who came up with it first? Who should be thanked or blamed? Surely, though, what is essential now, is that the best technique is implemented and the right result arrived at. The powerful Celestial Finger of Fate really can transform your world. For four minutes of valuable advice, call 0906 751 5611.

PISCES

Feb 20 — Mar 20

WHAT is wrong with the world today? Oh, I suspect I may be about to regret asking such a question. It is an invitation to be bombarded by an endless catalogue of ways in which folk think we are being foolishly governed by folk who just can’t see sense. Nor would those commentators agree with one another. Indeed, you could almost argue that what’s wrong with the world today is that it is full of too many people who think there is something wrong with it! What you think of as wrong now may not be as bad as you fear. Life may never be the same again! The Celestial Finger of Fate points to untold possibilities. Let me explain. Call 0906 751 5612.
