THE WEEK AHEAD WITH Oscar Caıner

Jupiter and Neptune continue their exciting year-long journey. Mercury’s links with Saturn and Pluto indicate that there’s plenty to discuss. But words should be chosen with care; they carry extra weight this week.

Aries Mar 21 - Apr 20

How much precious time are you prepared to invest in a project that depends almost entirely on your energy? Even though your ruler, in your sign, is bestowing you with verve, it makes sense to stop digging when you feel as if you’re in a hole. And it makes even more sense if you have a metaphorical stepladder to hand and can easily make your way to more reliable ground. There will be no surprises to be found in the familiarities of your life this week. But unexplored territory holds potential (positive) delights. Good news! Your forecast for 2019 is ready! To find out about all the exciting possibilities in store, call 0906 751 5601.

Taurus Apr 21 - May 21

Although you’re not alone, you feel isolated in one aspect of your life. Even though you have key people with whom you talk, there’s one particularly heavy burden that you can’t put down or (more importantly) share. This week, the quiet cosmic climate brings the chance to lean the weight of your problems against a wall. If you can distribute your load differently, you’ll find enough space to figure out a better way to continue. Your problems won’t disappear, but you will find a resourceful way of coping. Your four-minute forecast for 2019 is ready. It’s going to be a much better year than you think. Find out more. Call 0906 751 5602.

Gemini May 22 - Jun 22

We’re surrounded by great feats of engineering that date back over the millennia. From pyramids to pantheons, hidden pillars are silently and thanklessly holding great buildings in place. We hardly even notice these structures until they weaken. Similarly, your work and commitment to an enterprise, although essential to its well-being, has been overlooked and taken for granted. Yet you can feel justly proud of the key role you play. This week, you’ll finally receive some well- deserved recognition for your efforts. Good news! Your forecast for 2019 is ready! To find out about all the exciting possibilities in store, call 0906 751 5603.

Cancer Jun 23 - Jul 23

Rather than wasting your precious time composing a mental list of all the factors which seem to prevent you from doing what you really want to, this week brings a cosmic reminder that frustrations are inevitable. There will always be challenges. No one’s journey is plain sailing. While some folk are floored by the smallest obstacles, you’re blessed with the composure to work out innovative ways around even the highest of hurdles. You just need to tap into your determination. And the cosmos is giving you a helping hand. Your four-minute forecast for 2019 is ready. It’s going to be a much better year than you think. Find out more. Call 0906 751 5604.

Leo Jul 24 - Aug 23

We often make too much of a deal out of things that don’t really matter, while letting critical stuff slip by. It’s more obvious at this time of year. We’ve moved on from the celebrations and are left facing our resolutions, with the memories of the changes we wanted to make in our lives losing their vitality. Although you find yourself preoccupied by something new this week, it’s unlikely to stay around. Keep your sense of perspective and you’ll see what gifts it brings; this can motivate you to change what needs changing. Good news! Your forecast for 2019 is ready! To find out about all the exciting possibilities in store, call 0906 751 5605.

Virgo Aug 24 - Sep 23

As we move into the new year, you’re becoming aware something critical has changed. It’s as if a flag has been hoisted, a drawbridge put down, or an important decision has been reached. Yet it is almost imperceptible. Even if it seems as if nothing has altered in your outer world, the shift is fundamental and will guide you through the year. It’s the inner realisation that you owe it to yourself to follow your heart. If you’re not happy with your life, how can you help anyone else enjoy theirs? Consider your own needs this week. Your four-minute forecast for 2019 is ready. It’s going to be a much better year than you think. Find out more. Call 0906 751 5606.

Libra Sep 24 - Oct 23

Vehicles travelling at speed take a long time to come to a standstill. In the moment between hitting the brakes and being stationary, a large distance is covered. Our perception of speed is relative. If you’re looking at a train approaching a station, it’s not easy to tell if it’s going to accelerate past or slow to a stop. Now the frenzy of the festive season is behind you, it feels as if you’ve lost momentum. Yet if you take a moment to assimilate all that has occurred, and all that you’re hoping for, you’ll know at what speed to proceed. Good news! Your forecast for 2019 is ready! To find out about all the exciting possibilities in store, call 0906 751 5607.

Scorpio Oct 24 - Nov 22

Where’s your wand when you need it? Why do you have to struggle when a puff of magic could sort everything out in an instant? Good question! It’s similar to being hungry before going out to eat. You won’t appreciate what’s being offered unless you’ve recognised your hunger. Although you’re growing aware of an unfulfilled dream, there seems to be little you can do when you’re still under such a great deal of pressure. The cosmic message indicates your patience will pay off. Things are about to start moving. Your four-minute forecast for 2019 is ready. It’s going to be a much better year than you think. Find out more. Call 0906 751 5608.

Sagittarius Nov 23 - Dec 21

Fairytale endings have a lot to answer for. ‘And they all lived happily ever after,’ might be the words you’d like to use about a certain saga in your life, but, sadly, they can’t be spoken with any degree of certainty. ‘Happy ever after,’ is an aspiration no one can promise, even your astrologer! But I can say with certainty that the cosmic signs are hopeful for an improvement in a certain challenging situation. With your ruler in your sign, recently joined by Venus, something awkward ends and something good begins. Good news! Your forecast for 2019 is ready! To find out about all the exciting possibilities in store, call 0906 751 5609.

Capricorn Dec 22 - Jan 20

You’d like something to be done and dusted. A situation has been dragging on too long. The good news is your wish will soon be granted. The cosmic indications are that a time of uncertainty and confusion is becoming clearer. Keep that in mind when you find yourself juggling with metaphorical new-laid eggs this week, or attempting to create a wall with blocks of jelly. A situation is becoming more stable. It just needs more time, so stay focused, without putting yourself under any more stress. Your four-minute forecast for 2019 is ready. It’s going to be a much better year than you think. Find out more. Call 0906 751 5610.

Aquarius Jan 21 - Feb 19

When we’re too caught up in the minutiae of a situation, our sense of humour tends to get lost. If you can step back and look at the scenario you’re so passionate about from a different perspective, you might find there’s a lighter side to it (which might even make you smile). First, though, you need to relax. And, before you do that, you need to reassure yourself that you’ve done as much as you need to do. Your care is making things appear more complicated. You can tap into your less serious side this week. Good news! Your forecast for 2019 is ready! To find out about all the exciting possibilities in store, call 0906 751 5611.

Pisces Feb 20 - Mar 20

You can always walk away if that’s what you want. No one’s going to force you to continue putting your efforts into a complicated situation. Nor will anyone think worse of you if you back off. In fact, some folk are amazed you’ve stayed around for so long. Yet there’s a part of you that wants to stay committed, despite the challenges. Are you foolish to feel such loyalty? No! As events will show you this week, your sense of honour and duty are justified. The inner sense of doing ‘ the right thing’ is priceless. Your four-minute forecast for 2019 is ready. It’s going to be a much better year than you think. Find out more. Call 0906 751 5612.
