THE WEEK AHEAD WITH Oscar Crainer
With Mercury (communication) harmonising with Neptune (sacrifice), the cosmos echoes the poignant mood of Remembrance Sunday. Yet as various planets align to make minor Grand Trines, we can instigate positive, peace-inspired change.
Aries
Mar 21 - Apr 20 Would you rather be your own worst enemy or your own best friend? You have the choice. You can even be both! But to decide, you need to be aware of your relationship with yourself. You should also be aware that while changing the nature of relationships with other people is challenging, it’s easy to alter the relationship with yourself. You don’t need to pretend to be anything that you’re not this week. You’re experiencing a sense of unease as you’re digesting recent experiences, but the resulting insight will be rewarding. Want to hear some priceless information about your week? Call 1550 511 611.
Taurus
Apr 21 - May 21 Some rules are made to be broken. But we never know with any certainty which ones we can break and which we can’t. To add to our frustration, if we ever ask permission to do something ‘bold’, it’s often curtly denied. And when we just go ahead and do what we want to do without asking, people rarely seem to notice — or care. You’re wondering where a set of boundaries actually lies. That’s the big question. To find the answer, your best bet is to ask yourself – and have faith in your own reply. As Venus, your ruler, changes signs, it fires your enthusiasm and reboots your dreams. For good news, call 1550 511 611.
Gemini
May 22 - Jun 22 You’re probably reading this expecting to receive some astrological advice, but I’m going to avoid doing that! I can’t imagine you need any more of the stuff — you seem to be encircled by people who want to tell you what you should or shouldn’t do. No wonder you’re feeling boxed in. If it’s not individuals laying down the law, it’s factors in your situation that are creating boundaries you dislike. Yet the good news is that these difficulties are coming to an end. In the meantime, relax — if you want! Creative and inspiring times lie ahead for you. Make the most of this astrological opportunity. Call 1550 511 611.
Cancer
Jun 23 - Jul 23 When a car engine is taken apart, the bits and pieces are of no use to anyone except a mechanic. Once they’ve been cleaned, and the old parts replaced, the same engine is transformed into an efficient machine which can take you where you want to go. You’ve been examining elements of your life, wondering what use they have. You’re trying to repair and update them, without considering what they could become when forged together. This week brings the insight to see what you’re building — and where it can take you. Just four minutes on the phone could change your life. For your latest week-ahead forecast, call 1550 511 611.
Leo
Jul 24 - Aug 23 When our gain is somebody else’s loss, it’s not much of an achievement. The best transactions are the ones where everyone comes out winning. Although we know this, it’s easy to forget — especially when we can see a quick and handy way to improve our outlook at someone else’s expense. This week, you could, in theory at least, benefit from someone else’s misfortune. To do this, you’d only have to keep quiet. But you’re made of better stuff. You’ve got no choice but to do the right thing. The perfect result will follow. Your week-ahead forecast is jam-packed full of important news. For an in-depth guide, call 1550 511 611.
Virgo
Aug 24 - Sep 23 As your ruler, Mercury, moves into optimistic Sagittarius later this week, you experience a vital movement of energy regarding a situation that has reached an impasse. For a while now, you haven’t known which way to turn. You’ve tried to motivate someone into making a decision, but they’ve resisted your encouragement — and left you in a state of uncertainty. As inspiration dawns, not only will you be able to move on with a plan of your own, you’ll find that they make their mind up in a way that suits you perfectly. Maximise your luck as the planets make creative alignments. Make it a week to remember. Call 1550 511 611.
Libra
Sep 24 - Oct 23 The pressure is escalating. You don’t particularly want to do what you think you ought to do, but you don’t want to not do it either. You want to be somewhere else, dealing with something different. This urge to escape is contributing to an inability to sort out an issue that needs dealing with. You need to find a greater spirit of acceptance and optimism. Some extra flexibility will help too. If there’s anything you can bring yourself to change this week, change it. By altering one factor, you’ll set a positive movement into action. Great news! As your ruler, Venus, changes signs, it brings a boost of optimism. Learn how to maximise it and call 1550 511 611.
Scorpio
Oct 24 - Nov 22 The most useful tactic to employ this week is to listen. Pay close attention to what a key person is saying. Listen to what people with experience advise. But most importantly, listen to your heart — and give yourself time to reflect before you respond. If you understand the needs of everyone involved in a delicate situation, you’ll act with clarity. Then you’ll find a satisfying solution to what appears to be a tricky problem. Don’t feel disheartened by any factors that seem overwhelming. Trust your people — and yourself. To hear how your life could significantly change for the better, listen to your latest week-ahead forecast. Call 1550 511 611.
Sagittarius
Nov 23 - Dec 21 They tell us that before we dismiss anyone as being foolish, we should ‘walk a mile in their shoes’. Which is all well and good, but suppose their feet are a different size to ours? Surely we’d be crazy to try to walk far in ill-fitting footwear? But even so, it wouldn’t be foolish. No one’s as wise as the person who makes a concerted effort to understand other people’s motivations and feelings. And it’s much easier to find fault with someone than to find a reason to forgive them. But that’s not the right path for you to tread this week. With Venus (love) and Mercury (ideas) moving into your sign, this week brings positive, hopeful news. Call 1550 511 611.
Capricorn
Dec 22 - Jan 20 It’s interesting that the pop group behind the lyric, ‘You can’t always get what you want’ went on to achieve such phenomenal success. The Rolling Stones’s songs often relate to this theme, and they’ve become part of our psyche. We know that fame and fortune come with their own set of problems. You’ve got a secret desire, which is turning into an overwhelming urge. Although you feel as if you won’t ‘get no satisfaction’, as long as your intentions are good, this week brings a lucky break. There’s excitement in the skies in a week of celestial action. Find out how to maximise your luck. Call 1550 511 611.
Aquarius
Jan 21 - Feb 19 Before we start your prediction, I’d like to apologise. I don’t think I’ve done anything wrong, but you’re in such a heightened state that if you so much as sense a vague criticism, you’re likely to exact revenge. Yikes! Your normal, high-functioning mind is being buffeted by an emotional force — and it’s making you vulnerable. Which is why you’re so defensive. If you can meld your emotions with your intellect, you’ll be a force to be reckoned with. Be gentle with people who get in your way; use your power for the greater good. For great news on the life-altering progress you can make this week, call 1550 511 611.
Pisces
Feb 20 - Mar 20 You just want to be surrounded by people you like, and dealing with situations that make you smile. Surely that’s not too much to ask? It’s not as if you’ve set your sights on starring in a Hollywood blockbuster. The trouble is that films paint rosy pictures of what life is supposed to look like. We unconsciously adopt these images as our ideal, and are disappointed when our lives don’t match. Don’t expect a visit from your fairy godmother this week. If you see the good in what you’ve got, you’ll find a joy that makes you sparkle. Don’t miss out on how to take advantage of the cosmic climate this week. Call 1550 511 611.
