OSCAR CAINER

WE TALKED about how a sense of pragmatism was keeping check on any hearts that were starting to swell. It’s a good thing too, as with Venus and Neptune’s link peaking today, there’s potential for emotions to roll over us like tidal waves. Fortunately, Saturn’s presence allows us to surf the surge and keep our heads above water. We can afford to dive in and immerse ourselves in feelings if we want. Just don’t stray far from the shore! ARIES Mar 21 - Apr 20 RATHER than giving you a forecast, I thought you’d prefer a recipe. Let’s begin by listing the ingredients for a Happiness Cake, each slice of which will grant a wish. Don’t be deceived by their ordinariness; the magic happens when they’re combined in the right amounts. Begin by beating margarine with sugar and eggs. Then add the flour and baking powder. Oops — I’ve run out of room! You’ll have to improvise today. Fortunately, the cosmos provides just what you need. Worried? There’s a very special message for you when you call to hear your four-minute, week-ahead forecast. Call 0906 751 5601 TAURUS Apr 21 - May 21 SINCE Clint Eastwood, the actor/director, has a reputation as a man of few words, when he does speak, he’s worth listening to. He said: ‘I’m interested in the fact that the less secure a man is, the more likely he is to have extreme prejudice.’ Even though I’m not certain that I totally agree with him, I have to be aware that my own prejudices will influence my response to his words. Today, as your ruler links with Neptune, you can overturn a fixed idea and find harmony where there has been discord. Anxious? There’s a very special message for you when you call to hear your in-depth, week-ahead forecast. Call 0906 751 5602 GEMINI May 22 - June 22 JUST think how much we learn from the University of Life. Our rich experiences bring profound learning. Yet, if we’re not careful, we can become so focused on the hurdles that lie ahead that we forget to celebrate how much we’ve achieved. As Venus and Neptune link, they call you to take a step back from all that’s unsettling you, and appreciate how far you’ve come. The darkest hour is just before dawn . . . and the same is true of the moment before a seismic breakthrough. Confused? There’s a special message for you when you call to hear your four-minute, week-ahead forecast. Call 0906 751 5603 CANCER BEING the June 23 - July 23 victor in a battle is of little use if you can’t use the gains you’ve made to win the war. Don’t worry! I’m not suggesting that you’re in a position where you need to fight for what you want. Yet you have an important ambition, and you’re in the process of discerning what you need to do to fulfil it. Since resources are thin on the ground, you need to focus your efforts on where you want to be in the long term. Don’t allow your attention to be taken by a distraction that will pull you off course today. Uncertain?

Call 0906 751 5604 LEO July 24 - Aug 23 LIFE presents us with ‘perfect moments’ that we don’t always take advantage of. I remember, as a kid, being the passenger in a car which had to stop to allow a chicken to cross the road. Why on Earth didn’t anyone jump out and ask the chicken why it was doing what it was doing? I’d have been able to share the answer to the long-standing question! You’re worried that you’ve missed an opportunity to solve a conundrum. Yet it wasn’t going to offer the insight you thought. Worried? There’s a very special message for you when you call to hear your four-minute, week-ahead forecast. Call 0906 751 5605 VIRGO Aug 24 - Sep 23 ALTHOUGH it’s hard to dramatically change the way we feel, we can gently alter our feelings. If we imagine a scale of emotions, there are degrees of feeling good or bad. ‘Feeling awful’ is higher than ‘feeling ghastly’ but below ‘feeling a bit below par’. Sometimes, just knowing that this scale exists is enough to enable us to reassess a mood. The link between Venus and Neptune brings you a chance to feel significantly better about the journey you’ve recently embarked on. Just take it step by step. Anxious?

Call 0906 751 5606 LIBRA Sep 24 - Oct 23 ENERGISING Mars in your sign means your energy levels have increased — but the amount of tension in your life has risen, too. You’re bound to be feeling challenged when important issues are being brought into focus. Today, as your ruling planet Venus links with Neptune, you can begin to liberate yourself from a cause of major stress. Although it goes against your usual protocol of striving to create harmony, turning away from a source of trouble will liberate you. Confused? There’s a very special message for you when you call to hear your four-minute, week-ahead forecast. Call 0906 751 5607 SCORPIO Oct 24 - Nov 22 IN EVERY culture, there’s an equivalent of the saying: ‘Don’t just sit there, do something.’ It doesn’t matter where we’re from, we’re all familiar with the powerful desire to seize challenging situations by the horns and wrestle them into submission. But when does intervention become interference? And when does a healthy desire to help become an unhealthy tendency to meddle? As Venus and Neptune link, sit still today. See how things play out. Then make your decision. Uncertain? There’s a very special message for you when you call to hear your in-depth, week-ahead forecast. Call 0906 751 5608 SAGITTARIUS WHEN Nov 23 - Dec 21 we consider ourselves to be perfectly fallible, life is bound to create situations to challenge our infallibility. But if we focus on our failings, we never get opportunities to make adjustments to who we are; and our expectation of difficulty becomes a selffulfilling prophecy. You’re an optimistic Sagittarian. Yet your hopefulness grows out of a sensitivity to your own and other people’s weaknesses. As Venus and Neptune link, you can afford to be confident today. Worried? There’s a special message for you when you call to hear your four-minute, week-ahead forecast. Call 0906 751 5609 CAPRICORN Dec 22 - Jan 20 THE problem with carefully set goals is that if we fall even a little short, we can be disappointed. Perhaps that’s why many of us prefer to be heading in a ‘general direction’ rather than have a specific destination in mind. ‘Aim for the Moon; if you miss, you’ll be among the stars,’ they tell us. Yet, our goal-oriented minds can get in the way of happiness and satisfaction. If nothing short of perfection will do today, then go for it. But if there’s room for negotiation, that’s worth celebrating. Anxious? There’s a very special message for you when you call to hear your in-depth, week-ahead forecast. Call 0906 751 5610 AQUARIUS TRY Jan 21 - Feb 19 standing behind a lorry when the engine’s running. How does the air smell? Or try standing behind a cow, too, just for good measure. What I’m trying to say is that there’s a front and back to almost everything and there’s no prize for guessing which is more pleasant! Isaac Newton said that every reaction has an equal and opposite reaction; and the choice of which to dwell on is ours. Venus and Neptune enable you to find the positive side today. Confused? There’s a special message for you when you call to hear your four-minute, week-ahead forecast. Call 0906 751 5611 PISCES WHAT does Feb 20 - Mar 20 today hold for you? If you’re expecting anything less than brilliance, then it’s time to think again. Focus on the positive. Dream big. In fact, dream huge. Well, OK, maybe not quite that huge — I can’t promise you the Earth! But you’re well within your rights to expect an exciting new development. As Venus and Neptune link, they bring an opportunity to restore calm, while the cosmos whispers of new passions and inspirations. Things don’t have to stay the way they’ve always been. Uncertain?
