THE WEEK AHEAD WITH Oscar CCaaınıner­er

-

As Mercury moves opposite Jupiter and slows down, it encourages positive thinking and faith in ideas we’re enthusiast­ic about. With Venus entering Virgo, we need to heed details in plans, but the pay-off could be more than generous. Aries Mar 21 - Apr 20 Imagine how successful you’d be if you had a sure-fire way to win any argument. If you obey the following, no one will get the better of you again: don’t get involved! As soon as we enter into conflict, we lose far more than we gain. And when we’re confident about the ground we’re standing on, we don’t need to go to great lengths to defend it. Trust that you’re in a position of strength. Don’t waste time defending your decisions — more interestin­g developmen­ts deserve your energy. There’s no need to worry. All you need is guidance. Your week-ahead forecast can help. Call 1550 511 611.

Taurus Apr 21 - May 21 What are you embarrasse­d about? Why do you feel the need to apologise? Don’t panic! I’m not trying to draw your attention to a mishap you’ve put to the back of your mind. I’m drawing your attention to the way you tend to criticise yourself and acquiesce to other people’s assertiven­ess. Unless you’re happy playing the supportive role, you need to take advantage of your ruler’s change of sign and hold your head up high. You have power at your disposal. It’s time to walk tall and exercise your skills. Your week-ahead forecast will help you see the bigger picture and keep you moving in the right direction. Call 1550 511 611.

Gemini May 22 - Jun 22 One of the challenges of Hercules involved dealing with the Hydra. Every time he cut off one of its heads, two grew back. Fortunatel­y, you don’t have to deal with any poison-breathing creatures this week. Neither will you find yourself battling a relentless enemy. But as Mercury links with Jupiter, you’ll have so many ideas it might feel as if you’ve got two heads clamouring to have their views acted upon. If you listen to your heart, it will lead you in the direction of victory. What does your heart desire? How can you achieve what you really want? For your latest weekly forecast, call 1550 511 611.

Cancer Jun 23 - Jul 23 When things don’t go to plan, our brains tend to replay the events that went wrong. We run them through our minds, trying to figure out what we could have done differentl­y to achieve our desired outcome. But the past is in the past. Blame and guilt are futile emotions and should be avoided at all costs. This week, if you focus on all you’ve learned during a process that has contained downs as well as ups, you can use the benefits of all those experience­s and work out a way to make real progress. You know what you need to change – and you can make it happen! Your week-ahead forecast contains important advice. Call 1550 511 611.

Leo Jul 24 - Aug 23 Just because you’re feeling powerless to change a situation doesn’t mean you should give up. Circumstan­ces beyond your control have brought it into being. No matter whether you’ve focused your energy into trying to change it, or taken a more passive stance, you’ve been unable to alter the outcome. If you accept the fact that your options are limited, you’ll be able to concentrat­e on what’s possible rather than what’s not. Once you’ve taken that crucial step, you’ll start to regain your power and get things moving again. There are reasons to feel positive! If you want good news, call your latest, in-depth, four-minute forecast: 1550 511 611.

Virgo Aug 24 - Sep 23 Once upon a time people believed the world was flat. Anyone who suggested otherwise was regarded with deep suspicion. You can empathise with how those forward-thinking folk must have felt: you’ve had an innovative idea and it’s being met with caution. But that doesn’t mean you’re wrong to think what you think. This week, with the added bonus of Venus moving into your sign, resolve to keep doing what you need to do. You’ll find your audience becomes more receptive. And the support you need will manifest. To hear how you can change your life for the better soon, call your latest week-ahead forecast: 1550 511 611.

Libra Sep 24 - Oct 23 This might sound counterint­uitive, but sometimes, in order to see something clearly, we need to turn the lights down. If an object radiates its own brightness, it will be more visible in the dark. Right now in your world, you’re receiving too much informatio­n. Although it’s fascinatin­g, it’s preventing you from focusing on a situation that holds a real opportunit­y. It’s taking up so much attention that you’re in danger of overlookin­g a cosmic gift. As your ruler, Venus, changes signs, if you turn down the intensity, you’ll find a jewel. Don’t worry about the future. Understand it, embrace it… and transform it. Learn how in your latest forecast. Call 1550 511 611.

Scorpio Oct 24 - Nov 22 Picture yourself in a laboratory. You’re wearing all the necessary protective gear. You’ve got your goggles on — here’s your Bunsen burner. The flasks filled with colourful, bubbling liquids are on the bench. This week, it’s time to experiment. Your current formula isn’t producing the right results. Focus instead on the possibilit­y of an innovative breakthrou­gh. You’ve got the right ingredient­s, you just need to mix them together in a more daringly creative way. Even if you don’t find the perfect solution, you’ll have fun! Auspicious alignments suggest good times lie ahead. Learn more in your latest in-depth forecast. Call 1550 511 611.

Sagittariu­s Nov 23 - Dec 21 Words are powerful. But there are times when an image, a gesture, or a piece of music can be more evocative. Think of great works of art. They inspire a plethora of emotions from joy to anguish, deep calm to raging rebellious­ness. No wonder oppressive regimes throughout history have destroyed artworks that challenge their ideologies. Yet sometimes we need to express ourselves in a straightfo­rward way. You’ve been struggling to communicat­e your most sensitive feelings. This week brings the confidence to speak from the heart. Need to change something in your world? Your latest four-minute forecast tells you how. Call 1550 511 611.

Capricorn Dec 22 - Jan 20 Would you mind shutting your eyes? Perfect. Now, would you mind opening them again? Hang on, how did you read that second instructio­n if you followed the first one? You’re breaking the rules! You’ve chosen to override the first directive and do what you want to do. Brilliant! Discerning what’s in your best interests over what other people are telling you to do is worth developing. Your instincts are excellent. This week, if you feel uncomforta­bly at odds with an authority figure, remember that you know best. Make the most of your opportunit­ies. Your latest in-depth four-minute forecast tells you how. Call 1550 511 611.

Aquarius Jan 21 - Feb 19 Since everyone seems to talk about life being ‘a journey’, wouldn’t it be helpful to know where we start and finish? And if we all end up at the same destinatio­n, surely it doesn’t matter which route we take to get there? In fact it seems that ‘the journey’ and ‘the destinatio­n’ are inseparabl­e from one another. You’re constantly making choices about your route through life. And no one has the right to judge or criticise your decisions. This week, you’ll see tangible proof that a recent choice was an excellent one. Live life to the full! There is helpful advice and pleasing news in your latest four-minute forecast. Call 1550 511 611.

Pisces Feb 20 - Mar 20 Astrologic­al tomes often describe Pisceans as instinctiv­e rather than intellectu­al. Yet many folk born under your sign are deeply analytical. They have highly tuned mental faculties which they employ very effectivel­y. It’s just that their thought processes never override their emotions. This should be seen as a quality to take pride in. It shows that you’re a passionate person, motivated by heartfelt responses to life’s complicati­ons. As Mercury and Jupiter link, embrace any bright ideas wholeheart­edly. Do you need support? What’s the best way to ensure success? For your weekly forecast, call 1550 511 611.
