JONATHAN CAINER

Hi Jonathan, do you think the day will come when we are all in touch with our highest reality and know what the stars are thinking? I love your readings and being reminded of what I already know, but one day I will be able to see around corners and my inner astrologer will make you redundant. Mark Dear Mark, Ah, but it’s one thing to know what the stars have in store for someone else, another to be objective when you read your own birth-chart. no astrologers, no matter how good they may be, can do that.

ARIES

Mar 21 — Apr 20 WE NEVER want to be reminded of awkward truths. Yet we feel obliged to think about these issues. Isn’t to ignore them to live in a state of denial? Only slowly do we discover that when we let our attention wander and all but forget about whatever has been upsetting us, the world doesn’t end. It is amazing how long we can banish a worrying situation from our mind without making it any worse. This week, as you revisit an old cause for concern, you will see it differently and that will prove most helpful. Welcome to August. Your prediction for the next 30 days is ready. For inspiring insight into your month, call 0906 751 5601.

TAURUS

Apr 21 — May 21 IF SOMETHING IS really worth doing, it is worth doing often. We are always glad if a bad experience quickly becomes a thing of the past. But pleasure warrants repetition. Venus, the planet of pleasure herself, is of this opinion. In June, she formed a delightful conjunction to Jupiter. Due to her current retrogradation, she repeats that alignment this week. She even plans to do it all over again in October. Venus is your ruler. Her celestial intentions are your auspicious omens. You are right to feel encouraged. It’s August! I’ve recorded your in-depth prediction for the month. For a message that will lift your spirits, call 0906 751 5602.

GEMINI

May 22 — June 22 WE THINK we know what’s what. And, because we like to feel that we understand how every situation has come about, we develop an interest in all the whys and wherefores. This gives us confidence and helps us to feel we know our place in the world. That is fine until, one day, we discover that nothing is quite as we once thought it was. That can either be unnerving or inspiring — or both! Don’t be taken aback, this week, by a surprising turn of events. They will yet turn out to bring you a cosmic gift. Welcome to August. Your prediction for the next 30 days is ready. For inspiring insight into your month, call 0906 751 5603.

CANCER

June 23 — July 23 MARS remains in your sign till the end of the week. This planetary placement has been responsible for exceptional energy that you have lately had at your disposal. You may feel a little tired but then, given all that you have been putting so much energy into, that’s hardly surprising. Perhaps as you look at all that lies in store for you this week, you feel intimidated by a

challenging proposition. But there is now a clear cosmic promise that you will soon have all the strength and stamina that you need in order to succeed. It’s August! I’ve recorded your indepth prediction for the month. For a message that will lift your spirits, call 0906 751 5604.

LEO

July 24 — Aug 23 WE MAY not be approaching the end of an era but we are arriving at the demise of a decade. In less than a week, Jupiter moves out of your sign and it won’t pass through these parts again until 2026. So, does this mean you have just a few more days to secure all the advantages and opportunities you may require for the next ten years? Actually, you have already got them. It is just that so far, you can’t fully see what they are and how valuable they will turn out to be. This week will bring you inspiring insights. Welcome to August. Your prediction for the next 30 days is ready. For inspiring insight into your month, call 0906 751 5605.

VIRGO

Aug 24 — Sep 23 WE CAN’T all be at our best all the time. We have to have our ups and downs, our highs and lows, or good moments and our not-so-good moments. Not only must we take the rough with the smooth, we must try not to apply favouritism towards the one and criticism towards the other. If everything was always smooth, life would be dull. And if we could only learn to love the rough (or at least be slightly more forgiving of it), how much lighter might our load be? This week brings you reason to be glad of what once looked bad. It’s August! I’ve recorded your in-depth prediction for the month. For a message that will lift your spirits, call 0906 751 5606.

LIBRA

Sep 24 — Oct 23 BEFORE we go any further, I need to ask for your ID. I’m sorry for the inconvenience but these days, an astrologer’s client must be over a strict age limit and we can’t be too careful. So remind me again, you were born in which year? Really? Are you sure? You look remarkably young to be of that vintage! But then, perhaps it is the twinkle in your eye that is doing you such a favour and taking so many decades off your appearance. While Venus is conjunct to Jupiter this week, expect that to continue! Welcome to August. Your prediction for the next 30 days is ready. For inspiring insight into your month, call 0906 751 5607.

SCORPIO

Oct 24 — Nov 22 WHAT must you steel yourself for? How tough are things likely to get this week? Now, don’t panic. I’m only asking you questions like this because I want you to be aware of your own apprehension. It is as if you are scouting about for signs of trouble. You are looking left, right, up, down, ahead and behind for signs and suggestions of imminent difficulty. Yet it could well be the case that the only thing you need to guard against, is your own propensity for feeling defensive. This could be a very good week. It’s August! I’ve recorded your in-depth prediction for the month. For a message that will lift your spirits, call 0906 751 5608.

SAGITTARIUS

Nov 23 — Dec 21 HOW useful is a conjunction of Jupiter and Venus? If you happen to be a Sagittarian, it is more than useful. It is a gift from on high. You have every reason to think of it as a boon, a blessing and a bouquet. It may not take the form of flowers. Indeed, unless these were to turn out to be priceless orchids, one would hope to make a gain which ultimately had a far higher retail value than any offering from a florist. But this week’s celestial bonus exudes the unmistakable perfume of justified positivity. Welcome to August. Your prediction for the next 30 days is ready. For inspiring insight into your month, call 0906 751 5609.

CAPRICORN

Dec 22 — Jan 20 CAPRICORNS are capable, cautious and wise. We all know that. We learnt it at our grandmother’s knee. Or, at least, we did if our grandma was an astrologer. If she wasn’t? We read it in a textbook somewhere or in a magazine article. So it must be true, must it not? Or might it be the case that those who share your sign display such tentative traits only when they can see good reason to hold back? No such hesitation need be a limitation when a genuine, harmless, opportunity is self-evident, as it is this week. It’s August! I’ve recorded your in-depth prediction for the month. For a message that will lift your spirits, call 0906 751 5610.

AQUARIUS

Jan 21 — Feb 19 WE ALL trade in yen, dollars, euros and pounds. But these are not the only currencies. Humans use other units of ‘worth’. One of these is ‘explanation’. When things aren’t quite as we might expect, when situations don’t allow us to tick all the boxes in all the right ways, we want to know why. And if someone can provide us with a good enough reason, we may decide that this is more important than all that might usually sway our judgment. This week, you get to grasp a new, inspiring idea. Welcome to August. Your prediction for the next 30 days is ready. For inspiring insight into your month, call 0906 751 5611.

PISCES

Feb 20 — Mar 20 THIS may yet turn out to be a very pleasing week. You could do with one of those. Don’t you spend too much time, these days, dealing with issues and factors that displease you? Aren’t you exhausted and exasperated by scenarios that ought not to be so silly, but are every bit as undeniably real as they are awkward? The conjunction of Jupiter and Venus may not cause all these to vanish in a puff of smoke, but this auspicious alignment will at least enable you to see an old situation from a fresh perspective. It’s August! I’ve recorded your in-depth prediction for the month. For a message that will lift your spirits, call 0906 751 5612.
