OSCAR CAINER

If LIFE were a game of blackjack, the current hand we’ve received from the cosmic croupier leaves us with a difficult decision. To make the best of our cards, should we stick or twist? Sticking at anything always involves a gamble, but as Mercury moves fr

ARIES Mar 21 — Apr 20

YOU can’t drive your car across a lake or sail a boat across the sand. And although there are amphibious vehicles that can perform either of these trips, they’re hardly known for their luxurious interiors and aren’t recommende­d for long-haul journeys. You’re trying to decide what equipment you will need to navigate across a challengin­g terrain. You can compromise on your level of comfort for the short term. But, if this is a long-term plan, you have to make a choice. Powerful changes are possible as the planets spin into inspiratio­nal new alignments. Make the most of it! Call 0906 751 5601.

TAURUS Apr 21 — May 21

PROFESSOR Albert Mehrabian famously said 93 per cent of conversati­on is ‘non-verbal’. Though his theory is still debated, we’ve all experience­d that ‘look’ from a parent or a teacher. And when Clint Eastwood’s Man With No Name gave someone a stare that could kill, they’d rarely survive the scene unless they grasped the unspoken message. I’m not suggesting you need to invest in a poncho, but if an arrangemen­t is complicate­d, it’s important to be direct. Clarity will help you negotiate. Major changes are possible as the planets spin into inspiratio­nal new alignments. Make the most of it! Call 0906 751 5602.

GEMINI May 22 — June 22

MERCURY’S conjunctio­n with Saturn in your opposite sign indicates there’s an area of life in which you feel responsibl­e that needs your attention — and not just a cursory glance, but a meaningful appraisal. It might well mean you need to put something down to give it the concentrat­ion it needs. But letting this moment pass by is not a wise option. There’s a cosmic chance to throw yourself into a situation that will nourish and inspire you for some time. Don’t miss it. Major changes are possible as the planets spin into inspiratio­nal new alignments. Make the most of it! Call 0906 751 5603.

CANCER June 23 — July 23

WHEN you step back from the humdrum of life for a moment, it’s obvious that the things that matter most require faith, commitment and effort. Without inspiratio­n, these aren’t easy qualities to conjure up. As the Moon conjuncts Neptune, ahead of Mercury’s link with Saturn, the cosmos wants you to think about the source of your creativity. You have so much to offer. You have talents that have lain dormant for too long. The support you need to help put your plans into action isn’t far away.

LEO July 24 — Aug 23

WE ALL know people who are unable to make commitment­s. They’re nervous about making a promise they might not be able to keep. The opposite syndrome affects people who spend their lives worrying about how they will be perceived if they change their mind on something. They’ll deny their own needs just to keep the status quo. There’s a chance that you need to look at an area in your world where you’re acting out a role that’s becoming untenable. The change you desire can gently begin. Major changes are possible as the planets spin into inspiratio­nal new alignments. Make the most of it! Call 0906 751 5605.

VIRGO Aug 24 — Sep 23

JUST because we make a promise doesn’t mean we’ll remember it. Even if we made it sincerely, circumstan­ces change, people move on and something that was of great importance a while ago can move to the back of our minds. You have a strong sense of duty. If you’re feeling a nagging worry that you’ve overlooked something or someone, it’s time to let it go. The chances are high that you’ve either fulfilled your obligation or that it’s no longer relevant. Take yourself off the hook. Powerful changes are possible as the planets spin into inspiratio­nal new alignments. Make the most of it! Call 0906 751 5606.

LIBRA Sep 24 — Oct 23

IT’S not that you’re incapable of marching in all guns blazing — ask anyone who’s tried to take advantage of someone under your protection: you have boundaries that can’t be crossed. But, you prefer to explore peaceful solutions first. You want a situation to change, and there seem to be clear lines you won’t allow to be traversed. Just be as clear as you can be. The better you’re understood, the less likelihood there is of confrontat­ion, and the higher the chance of resolution. Major changes are possible as the planets spin into inspiratio­nal new alignments. Make the most of it! Call 0906 751 5607.

SCORPIO Oct 24 — Nov 22

POSSESSION­S are important. They represent our lives, our history and the decisions we’ve made, so we keep them safe, and protect them from strangers. It’s not so easy when it comes to protecting ourselves from inquisitiv­e questions that might intrude on our peaceful state of mind and throw us into turmoil. Your sense of contentmen­t is precious. You’re wise to protect it. Today the cosmos is giving you a hand with your feelings of security. Don’t open up to someone unless it suits you. Major changes are possible as the planets spin into inspiratio­nal new alignments. Make the most of it! Call 0906 751 5608.

SAGITTARIU­S Nov 23 — Dec 21

DO YOU have the latest, state-of-the-art, best-on-the-market phone yet? The manufactur­ers seem to think life will be much easier once we all have one. They go to such huge efforts to make us think their latest product is a ‘must have’, it’s easy to get caught up in the hype. With Mercury in your sign, the cosmos offers your own software update. There are aspects of your personalit­y that will benefit from a shake up and a boost of energy. Your potential is being optimised. Major changes are possible as the planets spin into inspiratio­nal new alignments. Make the most of it! Call 0906 751 5609.

CAPRICORN Dec 22 — Jan 20

YOU might not think yourself a mind-reader, but you know how to read subtle hints and gestures. So why do some people struggle to understand a message, even if it’s clearly communicat­ed? It’s because they’re so wrapped up in their thoughts they can’t contemplat­e thinking about things from another perspectiv­e. Though the message you’re trying to share has been misunderst­ood, you know how to make it subtly different. You can make yourself heard today. Powerful changes are possible as the planets spin into inspiratio­nal new alignments. Make the most of it! Call 0906 751 5610.

AQUARIUS Jan 21 — Feb 19

YOU feel out of the loop. It’s as if everyone possesses informatio­n that has by-passed you. Why have you been left out of the secret? How can you join in with the gossip if you’re unaware of the facts? In fact, you’re in a delightful situation. This is a case of ‘what you don’t know won’t harm you’. You don’t need to be pulled into irrelevant dramas or unpleasant chit-chat. If you can ignore the clamour, you’ll be able to stay clear, and avoid a performanc­e that’s not worth seeing. Powerful changes are possible as the planets spin into inspiratio­nal new alignments. Make the most of it! Call 0906 751 5611.

PISCES Feb 20 — Mar 20

DOUBLE-CHECKING your facts before making a decision is never a bad thing, but if you’re going over and over something and the way forward still feels unclear, it can be a problem. You know what you want to do. You know your plan. Just because you haven’t started putting this into action doesn’t mean that you haven’t made your mind up. But you’ve dithered for long enough. There are no two ways about it, there’s only one way to go! The cosmos is giving you the courage to take the first step. Powerful changes are possible as the planets spin into inspiratio­nal new alignments. Make the most of it! Call 0906 751 5612.
