OSCAR CAINER

ARIES Mar 21 — Apr 20

SO THERE you are, on the imaginary podium. The adjudicator is placing the medal around your neck. The crowds are going wild. Or, er . . . not. What if you came fourth? What if your tremendous effort earned you only a sense of disappointment? Oh, the tension and unnecessary stress of it all. As the Sun links with Uranus, and Mars makes a challenging aspect to Neptune, you don’t have to compete in such a way . . . and you need not worry about things going wrong this weekend. Confused? There’s a special message for you when you call to hear your unmissable, in-depth, four-minute, week-ahead forecast. Call 0906 751 5601.

TAURUS Apr 21 — May 21

HISTORY is littered with campaigns that were once thought of as heretical or fanatical but which are now adopted by the mainstream. Today, it’s widely regarded that climate change is an issue we must all play a part in solving. But there was a time when it was only people with tie-dyed clothes and braids who thought along these lines. A cause close to your heart is gaining more support. You just need to remain passionate, energised and hopeful. A distant dream can become a distinct possibility. Worried? There’s a very special message for you when you call to hear your unmissable, in-depth, four-minute, week-ahead forecast. Call 0906 751 5602.

GEMINI May 22 — June 22

WE DRESS one way when we pop to the shops, another for an important occasion. We apply different standards to different situations and don’t entirely do this out of deference to the expectations of others. We do it to meet a need in ourselves. Some outfits help us to feel more confident, formal or relaxed. With your ruler retrograde, might you be wearing something that doesn’t match the moment? Venus’s sense of style is coming to the rescue this weekend. Anxious? There’s a special message for you when you call to hear your unmissable, in-depth, four-minute, week-ahead forecast. Call 0906 751 5603.

CANCER June 23 — July 23

SOMETIMES, an internal change, or a moment of private realisation, doesn’t go far enough. Sometimes, it’s necessary to make a public declaration to prove something is different. As the Sun links with Uranus, you are about to reach a valuable conclusion about a nagging problem. But, despite the reservations indicated by the Moon in Scorpio, the process won’t be complete until you show the world

you’re no longer the same. Find the confidence to share insights with someone you trust, and

you can make a vital change. Uncertain? There’s a special message for you when you call to hear your unmissable, in-depth, fourminute, week-ahead forecast. Call 0906 751 5604.

LEO July 24 — Aug 23

BACK in August, when the Sun formed a supportive aspect to Uranus, we talked about divers Piccard and Walsh and their trip to the Mariana Trench in 1960. As Uranus and the Sun move together, it’s worth revisiting. Walsh recalls thinking, on his way to the surface, that someone would return to those depths soon. Nobody has. In August, there was a need to be patient. But now it’s time for action! Nothing will happen unless you’re willing to dive right in. Make a splash! Confused? There’s a special message for you when you call to hear your unmissable, in-depth, four-minute, weekahead forecast. Call 0906 751 5605.

VIRGO Aug 24 — Sep 23

‘THE lady doth protest too much’ is one of my favourite phrases. Sometimes a vigorous denial is more harmful to our ability to win people over than a casual shrug of the shoulders or feigned indifference. Venus, opposite your sign, is turning direct. You don’t want to appear to try too hard, but you can harvest some of that goodwill. If you want to convince someone of the merits of a mutually beneficial change, a tasty carrot will be more effective than a stick. Guess what? Carrots are coming into season! Worried? There’s a very special message for you when you call to hear your unmissable, in-depth, four-minute, week-ahead forecast. Call 0906 751 5606.

LIBRA Sep 24 — Oct 23

GOOD? Bad? Right? Wrong? Who can consider themselves qualified to do all that judging? What entitles us to our opinions? Some rules can’t be broken. Certain traditions must be honoured. Having said that, let’s be clear. There are exceptions to some of these rules. You’re not as trapped as you fear. Today’s astrological aspects can help you find a way round an obstacle. And, as Venus turns direct, you can add charm to your creativity. Anxious? There’s a very special message for you when you call to hear your unmissable, in-depth, four-minute, week-ahead forecast. Call 0906 751 5607.

SCORPIO Oct 24 — Nov 22

MANY writers struggle with a blank page. As an astrologer, writer’s block is a luxury I wish I could afford! With so much to write, it’s important that words flow. To keep them coming, it’s not the sentences, but the ideas I need to communicate that I focus on. This weekend, if you need to infuse passion into someone else’s life, it’s not how you do so, but ‘why’ that matters. A generous heart is the best way to make this happen. Don’t let an artificial block limit your output, when you have so much to share. Uncertain? There’s a special message for you when you call to hear your unmissable, in-depth, four-minute, week-ahead forecast. Call 0906 751 5608.

SAGITTARIUS Nov 23 — Dec 21

SOME people are adamant that guardian angels don’t exist. They say nobody has seen one. But, then, I’ve never seen electricity, either. I have, though, seen many people benefit from coincidences, which may be attributed to a guardian angel as to any other force. And as the Sun links to Uranus, just as Venus turns direct, how else can I explain the opportunities that seem to be available to you? Or the protection that seems to be being extended your way? Confused? There’s a special message for you when you call to hear your unmissable, in-depth, four-minute, week-ahead forecast. Call 0906 751 5609.

CAPRICORN Dec 22 — Jan 20

IF TODAY were a mode of transport, it would be a hot-air balloon. Hot-air balloon pilots have to be very careful when they launch. They must wait for a fair wind in the right direction. These days, they simply fire up the burners and go. But traditionally they launched by shedding the weight that held them on the ground. At last, your conditions appear to be favourable. It’s time to cut ties to the past and float freely, and serenely, into an exciting great blue beyond. Worried? There’s a very special message for you when you call to hear your unmissable, in-depth, four-minute, week-ahead forecast. Call 0906 751 56010.

AQUARIUS Jan 21 — Feb 19

AS VENUS turns direct again this weekend, you’re entering a new phase, in which you’ll feel more secure. You won’t be so defensive. Your next set of targets will be easier to reach. And new challenges will reward you more rapidly. Life will be less stressful. As the Sun links up with your ruler Uranus, still forming its historic opposition with Jupiter, you’re embarking on a different adventure. Expect to find life a little kinder, more interesting and more enjoyable. Anxious? There’s a special message for you when you call to hear your unmissable, in-depth, four-minute, week-ahead forecast. Call 0906 751 5611.

PISCES Feb 20 — Mar 20

‘WHEN she’s walking down the street, the trees all take a bow’ sang the New Orleans piano legend Professor Longhair. And, as Venus turns direct in your sign this weekend, it may feel the world is becoming more deferential. But this doesn’t mean it will be overly accommodating. There are cosmic signs that, to get the best out of situations, you will need to argue passionately on behalf of your greatest dreams and deepest ideals. Don’t hold back. Not when so much is ready to bend to your will. Uncertain? There’s a special message for you when you call to hear your unmissable, in-depth, four-minute, week-ahead forecast. Call 0906 751 5612.

VENUS, planet of love and harmony, appears almost stationary. You might think a heavenly body, showing no signs of motion, might have less energy with which to infuse us. But a ‘stationary’ planet is a powerful thing. Especially when the optical illusion ends and it ‘turns direct’ and moves forward again. Venus’s retrograde period has been akin to a slingshot, loaded with affection, being slowly pulled further back. Now the celestial hand is about to release the tension. Its aim will prove true.
