JONATHAN CAINER

LAST weekend, we watched a man rise to fame as he fell to Earth. Ever since, astrologers have been puzzling over the horoscope of Felix Baumgartner. Though we know he was born in Salzburg on April 20, 1969, his time of birth is not yet a matter of public record. On the morning of that day, the Sun moved from Aries to Taurus. While his bravery suggests Aries, a later birth time would give him an exact opposition between the Moon in Gemini and Mars in Sagittarius. While this would make him a more cautious Taurean, nothing else in the language of astrology says ‘calculated risk’ quite so clearly.

ARIES Mar 21 — Apr 20 THE question we need to ask is: ‘What do I want?’. The answer we need to hear is: ‘Something that works for me.’ If the reply is any more specific than that, there is a risk of frustration and confusion. When we feel that we know exactly what we require, down to the last detail, there is always a chance of misleading ourselves. It is far better for you to allow a little fluidity and flexibility in your plan. Surely, all you want is something that works. That much, you can definitely have.

TAURUS Apr 21 — May 21 AS THE train entered the tunnel, the lights went out and the carriage was plunged into total darkness. When the electricity was restored, it became clear something dreadful had happened to the elderly gentleman on the other side of the table. Yet there was no sign of the murderer. Thankfully, the great detective was on board. He was soon sifting through the clues . . . The story of your life may now seem like a cross between a thriller and a whodunit, but it really is rapidly approaching the good bit.

GEMINI May 22 — June 22 WE ARE all meant to play by the rules. That’s what the rules are for, or so most people believe. Some feel rules are made to be broken. Others are determined they need to be rewritten in light of changing circumstances. Does any of that entitle you to push boundaries, break through barriers and stretch points today? Not if you are intending to go on some cavalier spree of wild rebellion. But if you face a ridiculous problem, you may have to employ a ridiculous solution.

CANCER June 23 — July 23 DO YOU have the patience of a saint, the wisdom of a sage, the self-restraint of a renunciate? Or, how about the relentless faith of a martyr? You may be inclined to answer all of these questions with a shrug — but don’t underestimate your true depth. Many wonderful people have walked this Earth and done wonderful deeds, long remembered and revered. Yet none of these had personal qualities that were more outstanding than yours. If you want to do something wonderful today, you can.

LEO July 24 — Aug 23 WE TRY so hard not to become upset. We know some topics are bad for our blood pressure and that the very mention of a contentious situation can be enough to bring forth an avalanche of exasperation. Yet, we cannot create a fortress and live within it. Sooner or later, our journey through life will inevitably take us into close contact with the very force or factor that is most likely to provoke an adverse reaction. But, today, you really don’t have to respond in the most obvious way. I have important news about the big changes due to happen in your life.

Cold and alone, no comfort in sight.’ More sad, sorry, words today from a classic Motown song. How can we not feel sympathy for the person articulating this pitiful lament? Yet most of the great performers who covered this tune have enjoyed tremendous success. Indeed, we could argue the answer to the question: ‘What becomes of the brokenhearted?’, is that they end up doing very well for themselves! That’s a point well worth keeping in mind today.

LIBRA Sep 24 — Oct 23 IT IS one thing to

differ with a colleague or companion — or argue vociferously with a politician or a philosopher. Sooner or later, we all find ourselves passionately upholding a controversial view. This may or may not be good for us but it is understandable. Yet what are we to make of someone whose big point of disagreement is not with another individual but with themselves? You have lately been in a state of almost constant quandary but this may yet soon resolve. I have important news about the big changes due to happen in your life.

What will now be gained from mincing words and tiptoeing around tricky topics? A degree of diplomacy is, of course, advisable. Why start an awkward argument if you can avoid it? Yet you are not the person who is picking a fight or implementing an unfair course of action. The only reason to lead an attack is so that it may help you conduct a more effective kind of defence. Be ready to step forward boldly and successfully today.

SAGITTARIUS Nov 23 - Dec 21 WEEK

after week, I encourage you to think positively. No matter how much gloom may surround you, you are not entitled to dive into a pool of pessimism. If you hold on to hope, hope will hold on to you, helping you to find ways to overcome problems. I say this because it’s true. It is true, indeed, for anyone at any time. But it is particularly true for you right now. If you want to benefit from good fortune, begin by thinking of yourself as fortunate.

CAPRICORN Dec 22 — Jan 20 YOUR path may not be entirely smooth or easy but at least it leads from A to B. There is no ambiguity about it, which is more than can be said for the previous route. That relied on faith. You had no proof you had chosen the right direction and, indeed, you kept needing to ignore various signs that suggested a mistake had been made. When you eventually decided to change, you had even begun to fear you might have done damage. It now becomes clear that at least you haven’t done that.

AQUARIUS Jan 21 — Feb 19 SOME people worry a lot about contagion. They try to protect themselves from unwelcome influences — be these illnesses or ideas. Such policies are very negative. It is always far wiser to use defence mechanisms based on inspiration and encouragement. Where there is a sense of strength, it is much harder for any source of weakness to take hold. Don’t think, today, about what you want to keep at bay. Focus on what you are keen to embrace and accept. I have important news about the big changes due to happen in your life.

Probably, some publishers will reject it because they feel it isn’t believable enough — there have been so many uncanny coincidences and inexplicable developments. Even with all the nuances and details accounted for, we find it hard to explain exactly why and how some things happened. Once we simplify some of those, it all starts to seem faintly miraculous. Coming up next for you? Another miracle! I have important news about the big changes due to happen in your life. Dial in your date of birth for your NEW special personal forecast. Call 0906 751 5612.
