OSCAR CAINER

Welcome to the Sun in Aries, may I take your coat? Thank you, if you’d like to follow me, we’ll get you kitted out. Did you bring a set of flame-retardant clothing? Good. Here are your rocketpowered roller skates, your helmet and your parachute. only kidding! You probably don’t need a parachute, but if you do, they’re available at the resting points. Before that, though, you’ve got to crash through the barriers at speed. Don’t worry, it won’t be difficult, that’s what the helmet’s for! ARIES IN THE Mojave Mar 21 — Apr 20 Desert lies a field filled with mirrors. Each one tracks the Sun, and focuses its rays on to a single point, where a boiler uses steam to generate electricity. And, with the coming of the dawn, the grid hums with enough energy to accomplish a mind-boggling array of tasks. You can take inspiration from that. Suddenly, as if from nowhere, magical forces can come to life and alter situations in unexpected ways. With the Equinox heralding the Sun in your sign, it’s not inappropriate to have such an expectation. It’s the Equinox! Your hope-giving, heartwarming, worry-quashing four-minute forecast is ready. Call 0906 751 5601. TAURUS THE Equinox is a Apr 21 — May 21 positive omen. So, if you read yesterday’s forecast, perhaps you’re wondering why I was slightly less than effusive about your astrological outlook? Of course, when something wonderful happens it doesn’t erase the memory of what has previously gone wrong. And even if it overshadows current troubles, it doesn’t necessarily remove them. But it can inspire us to do better. You’re being called to transcend minor irritations and focus on the bigger

picture. And that picture is positive. It’s the Equinox! Your hope-giving, heart-warming, worry-quashing four-minute forecast is ready. Call 0906 751 5602. GEMINI WHY do what May 22 — June 22 you don’t want to do? Because you have to? Because you fear the consequences that will ensue if you don’t? Because you care so much for someone that you’re willing to do it for them, even though it’s not something you’d naturally do for yourself? There has to be a good reason. And if it isn’t quite good enough? Then you should find some way to focus on what’s good about it, until the good is all that you see. Adopt this mindset and you’ll sail through the Equinox. It’s the Equinox! Your light-shedding, hope-giving, heart-warming, worry-quashing fourminute forecast is ready. Call 0906 751 5603. CANCER I HAVE a June 23 — July 23 beautiful threeway chess set. It has three half-chessboards, with each side stretched so that it slots together. The winner is whoever puts just one of the other players into checkmate. It creates a game in which players aid each other, only to turn on them when they sense someone moving into a winning position. Does your life feel this complicated? Do you doubt the sincerity of someone’s intentions? No matter how dubious an alliance may seem, you can turn it to your advantage. It’s the Equinox! Your hope-giving, heartwarming, worry-quashing four-minute forecast is ready. Call 0906 751 5604. LEO MY JOB involves ‘seeing July 24 — Aug 23 your future’. So, if I’m doing this for you, does that mean that you don’t have to do it for yourself? What do you see when you look at your own future? If it’s a bleak vision, stop looking at it. You’re getting the wrong impression. When you consider the matter, if you feel that you may just be able to detect an encouraging vision, trust that. The Equinox brings wisdom and energy into your life. Believe in yourself, and your abilities, and that faith is bound to be well founded. It’s the Equinox! Your hope-giving, heart-warming, worryquashing four-minute forecast is ready. Call 0906 751 5605. VIRGO YESTERDAY, we Aug 24 — Sep 23 talked of what you don’t need to do. Sometimes this is the best way to unearth what’s hidden. It’s this method that led to our evolution. Each new mutation presented challenges and opportunities and if it hindered our ability to thrive, it was unlikely to remain in the gene pool. The slow process of elimination may not have the excitement of an epiphany, but it’s one of the most powerful forces that can shape our lives. Don’t underestimate the positive developments now unfolding. It’s the Equinox! Your lightshedding, hope-giving, heart-warming, worry-quashing four-minute forecast is ready. Call 0906 751 5606. LIBRA WHY do this when Sep 24 — Oct 23 you could do that? Why do that when if, instead, you did this, then this and this, it would be far better than doing that? Unless, perhaps, you did this, that and that instead? Are you finding this hard to follow? Well, it can hardly be more baffling than the rest of the advice you’ve been required to wrestle with. With the Sun on its way to joining retrograde Venus opposite your sign, which has just linked with Mars, there may not be a perfect way to implement a key decision, but implement it you must! It’s the Equinox! Your light-shedding, hope-giving, heartwarming, worry-quashing four-minute forecast is ready. Call 0906 751 5607. SCORPIO IT’S not always Oct 24 — Nov 22 enough just to have sympathy for someone. Even if we recognise the process they’re experiencing as similar to something in our own lives, empathy is a poor substitute for action. Should we seek solace or a solution to a problem? Though the issues you’re dealing with are difficult, they’re not impossible. Don’t just seek a shoulder to cry on, look for one giant enough to be stood upon. With the right person at your back no problem is too hard — as long as you can adapt to the challenge. It’s the Equinox! Your hope-giving, heartwarming, worry-quashing four-minute forecast is ready. Call 0906 751 5608. SAGITTARIUS LET’S Nov 23 — Dec 21 imagine that you’re hungry. There’s cereal in your cupboard and milk in your fridge. It won’t take much to satisfy your appetite. But if someone offered you a gourmet meal, why might you turn it down? Perhaps you’d fear becoming beholden to the chef? Or you’d prefer a simpler, speedier solution? As with food, so it is with other pressing needs. After the Equinox, the Sun links to Pluto. It brings the possibility of exceeding an expectation if you could be adventurous. It’s the Equinox! Your hope-giving, heartwarming, worry-quashing four-minute forecast is ready. Call 0906 751 5609. CAPRICORN YESTERDAY, I Dec 22 — Jan 20 urged you not to doubt the decisions you’ve made that have led to this point. And, though I stand by that, it doesn’t mean I’m infallible. We all make errors of judgment and the occasional mistake. But what happened yesterday can’t ever be changed. It can simply be adapted to. And often, it’s only by first making mistakes that we find the best way to deal with a situation. Can you find a way to appreciate what you regret today? Here lies the key to a brighter, more satisfying tomorrow. It’s the Equinox! Your hope-giving, heart-warming, worry-quashing four-minute forecast is ready. Call 0906 751 5610. AQUARIUS I HOPE you Jan 21 — Feb 19 don’t mind me asking, but how much do you matter? Are you influential or inconsequential? Oh good. I was hoping you might answer that way. It confirms my suspicion about the confidence issues you have and the way in which sometimes, like so many of us, you mask self-doubt with self-aggrandisement. Let’s be clear. When you speak, others listen. A small gesture from you is a big signal to others. The Equinox brings the Sun into your third Solar house. Act with gravitas. It’s the Equinox! Your hope-giving, heart-warming, worry-quashing fourminute forecast is ready. Call 0906 751 5611. PISCES YESTERDAY was the Feb 20 — Mar 20 International Day of Happiness. So why does this quality prove so elusive? It’s not that you’re incapable of it. When you feel a wave of positivity wash over you, it can be so powerful that you’re almost dragged out to sea. But when the tide retreats, it can feel as if you might crack in the sun. That won’t happen. There are people in your life who can provide the shade you need. Remind yourself of what, and who, you’ve got, and you’ll realise you’ve been pining for something you’ve had all along. It’s the Equinox! Your light-shedding, hope-giving, heart-warming, worry-quashing fourminute forecast is ready. Call 0906 751 5612.
