OSCAR CAINER

Mercury ends its retrograde phase today and life goes back to ‘normal’. Whatever normal is! Sometimes, it feels like my default position is sending messages to the wrong people while attempting to extract my foot from my mouth! At least, when Mercury is retrograde, everyone else gets to walk a mile in my shoes. But even if a spot of mayhem is secretly enjoyable, there comes a time when everyone has had enough of miscommunicating and recalibrating. We can all start to put our best winged-foot forward now.

ARIES Mar 21 — Apr 20

I HOPE you’ve got a calculator because you need to check you’ve added all the numbers that need adding, and taken away all those that needed to be subtracted. Did you remember to multiply the last figure before you divided it by itself? Well… no wonder you haven’t got the right answer. Now, you’re going to have to deal with the result you’ve got and not worry about what you could have done differently. Once you accept a situation for what it is today, you’ll see you have solved a complex problem. There’s great news between now and Christmas.

TAURUS Apr 21 — May 21

HUMAN beings are a curious mixture of predictability and adaptability. We slip into patterns so easily that once we’ve established a routine we can stay in it until we’re forced into making an adjustment. Yet usually, the moment we’re shaken into action, we discover a bank of inner resources which we can access in order to implement change. As Mercury begins to move forward in the sky, it signals transformation. Things no longer need to stay the same. It’s time to move on from a habit. There’s important news between now and Christmas. For your latest spookily accurate Moon-sign forecast, call 0906 751 5602.

GEMINI May 22 — June 22

IT’S relatively easy to predict what’s going to happen. But that doesn’t always mean we’re going to feel confident about, or reassured by, what we think is going to occur. Sometimes, it feels as if announcing what you’re going to do will increase the likelihood of it happening; raising expectations has a way of increasing the chance of them coming true. As your ruler turns direct, the story you’re telling holds more potential than you think. Rather than expect the obvious, allow the ending to unfurl. There’s exciting news between now and Christmas. For your spookily accurate Moon-sign forecast, call 0906 751 5603.

CANCER June 23 — July 23

WHAT do you understand and why do you understand it? And what makes you so certain that you’ve understood everything there is to understand about it? The truth is that you just can’t be certain. Since we’re not omniscient, there’s always the chance that we’ve overlooked something important. All we can do is make judgments based on data that’s been well checked and evaluated. As a current situation is demanding you to make a decision, find the confidence to trust what you do know. That will be enough. There’s great news between now and Christmas. For your spookily accurate Moon-sign forecast, call 0906 751 5604.

LEO July 24 — Aug 23

IMAGINE the satisfaction if, as you sipped your first coffee of the day, you realised that you’d managed to create the ultimate solution to human distress and disharmony. From now on, there would be no reason for anyone to be unmotivated or unhappy. Of course, in real life, that’s never going to happen. Yet as Mercury begins to move forward, you’re close to finding an arrangement that will make several of the discontented people in your world very happy. That’s something to be proud of. There’s important news between now and Christmas. For your spookily accurate Moon-sign forecast, call 0906 751 5605.

VIRGO Aug 24 — Sep 23

YOU hold yourself to exceptionally high standards. You try to give 100 per cent and, at the smallest implication that you might have somehow fallen short, you’re the first to be critical of yourself. But just look at what you’re up against! The challenge is tough, and you’re doing so much better than anyone could have expected (or have done themselves). There’s no question that you’ll find a way to pull through and thrive. As your ruler turns direct, it helps to highlight your unique abilities. There’s exciting news between now and Christmas. For your latest spookily accurate Moon-sign forecast, call 0906 751 5606.

LIBRA Sep 24 — Oct 23

IF YOU’RE unsure of the answer, should you wait until you’re certain? And, if you’re already sure, how can you be sure that you’re sure? What if you’ve leapt to a questionable conclusion? Could you have made a decision prematurely that, having had time to evaluate, you’re now struggling to justify? Fortunately, a surprise is in store which heralds the discovery that a situation, which has seemed complex and challenging, is far simpler than you ever thought it could be. There’s great news between now and Christmas. For your spookily accurate Moon-sign forecast, call 0906 751 5607.

SCORPIO Oct 24 — Nov 22

WHY do people say that there’s no gain without pain? How do they know that this is true? It’s certainly not written down in law. And even though we recognise that it holds an element of truth, we should never live our lives according to it. There’s no reason to put yourself through anything painful just in the hope of making a gain. Pain is not a good thing to expect to experience on the way to progress either. As Mercury turns direct in your sign, something good will come your way today. There’s important news between now and Christmas. For your latest spookily accurate Moon-sign forecast, call 0906 751 5608.

SAGITTARIUS Nov 23 — Dec 21

THE universe changes constantly. While the French novelist Jean-Baptiste Alphonse Karr said that ‘the more things change, the more they stay the same’, there are certain issues that can never be quite as they once were. This is certainly true of fads, laws and even technology... but what if it’s also true of emotions? Could you be applying outdated principles to a new situation? Keep an eye out today for changed circumstances that can be made to work to your advantage. There’s exciting news between now and Christmas. For your spookily accurate Moon-sign forecast, call 0906 751 5609.

CAPRICORN Dec 22 — Jan 20

SOME folk are so adaptable they seem to be carried by the wind in the direction that it’s blowing. When it changes, they follow suit. You, though, don’t just go along with whatever’s happening. You might set off on a journey, and catch the breeze for a while, but if you’re not happy with where it’s taking you, you’re perfectly able to remove yourself. That’s not to suggest that you give up easily. When you’ve made a commitment, you do your best to honour it. Your determination will be valued today. There’s great news between now and Christmas. For your spookily accurate Moon-sign forecast, call 0906 751 5610.

AQUARIUS Jan 21 — Feb 19

THE world’s full of people who think they have all the answers. In fact, I’m addressing one such individual at this very moment! So if you have the solution, why can’t you put it into action? Is it possible that someone has asked the wrong question? Or could it be that the solution isn’t yours at all, but someone else’s? Suppose they’ve got it wrong? What if they can’t be trusted? Perhaps it is safer to come to a conclusion of your own. But could their solution possibly be your solution, too? There’s important news between now and Christmas. For your spookily accurate Moon-sign forecast, call 0906 751 5611.

PISCES Feb 20 — Mar 20

YOUR social life is hitting new levels of intensity. You’ve either just made some stimulating new acquaintances, or something excitingly different is happening to a friend. You’re surrounded by an unusual level of commotion and upheaval. It’s no wonder you’ve been pulled into the drama. Yet it seems that you could be feeling obliged to take responsibility for an incident that has nothing to do with you. You don’t need to fix anything today. Sacrificing your integrity isn’t necessary and won’t help anyone. There’s exciting news between now and Christmas. For your spookily accurate Moon-sign forecast, call 0906 751 5612.
