JONATHAN CAINER

LAST week, I asked a geophysicist a question that various readers have expressed concern about. ‘Is it true that earth’s magnetic poles are shifting?’ ‘they do this all the time,’ he said. ‘currently, the north pole is somewhere in russia.’ ‘will it one day swap places with the South pole?’ I asked. ‘Sure,’ he replied, ‘and if that happens instantly, we’ll be fine, but if there’s an interval, maybe not.’ I asked him why there was uncertainty. tomorrow, I’ll explain his revealing answer.

ARIES Mar 21 — Apr 20 ‘THE only thing we have to fear is fear itself.’ While this old saying may apply in some small way to your life now, it’s an extension of that principle I feel we should discuss. How about, for example, ‘the only thing that’s now making a situation complicated is your reluctance to see how simple it is’. Or ‘all that’s making a task seem difficult is your suspicion that it isn’t going to be easy’. We are still close enough to the equinox to feel its influence. As you overcome your own negative expectation, positive events ensue. How will this Equinox change your life? I have important news for you. Pick up the phone! 0906 751 5601.

TAURUS Apr 21 — May 21 THE world,’ some say, ‘divides into winners and losers.’ Is that so? Perhaps the only true losers are the folk who believe it! Life is not a competitive sport. There is room, in this world, for many different tastes, traits and tendencies. When we judge too hastily or too harshly, we rob ourselves of precious perspective. By coming down too heavily on one side of an argument or another, we narrow our imagination and restrict our ability to take advantage of opportunity. If you want to win today, don’t be afraid of loss. What does the potent power of the Equinox mean for you? Call your latest four-minute forecast: 0906 751 5602.

GEMINI May 22 — June 22 A PINCH of pepper can season a stew. But if your hand slips and you pour in a potful, you can render it inedible. So what’s the best policy? Ardent adherence to the principles of ‘health and safety’ would argue that it’s best to banish this condiment from the kitchen. Yet surely all that’s needed is to master the art of moderation. If you feel as though something is getting to be ‘too much’ today, take advantage of Mercury’s retrograde influence and experiment with exposing yourself to a little less of it. It’s the Equinox! I have a lightshedding, hope-giving, worry-quashing fourminute forecast for you. Call 0906 751 5603.

CANCER June 23 — July 23 ANSWERS! Weare all expected to have them. We fear that if we can’t give them, people will judge us harshly. And as we never really know what questions we may be asked, we like to ensure we have a ready supply of replies, in case they happen to be needed. Yet, there are times when the only appropriate riposte to an inquiry is ‘I don’t know.’ It may not

seem like a particularly clever or impressive thing to say, but if it happens to be true, it can be highly helpful. Don’t be afraid of not knowing today. How will this Equinox change your life? I have important news for you. Pick up the phone! 0906 751 5604.

LEO July 24 — Aug 23 WE ALL like to feel we know what we are doing. It is a nice feeling. Compare that with the feeling we get when we realise we don’t know! That doesn’t feel very nice at all. Human beings, it seems, are hardwired to prioritise the feelgood factor. We want it so badly that we will go to surprising lengths to nurture it within ourselves. We may even, once in a while, persuade ourselves that we are doing the right thing, even when we have no idea whether this is true! But for you today it is better to be wise than right. What does the potent power of the Equinox mean for you? Call your latest fourminute forecast: 0906 751 5605.

VIRGO Aug 24 — Sep 23 YOU suspect you may be in for tough times. You can see signs which experience has taught you to associate with difficulty. But have you learned the right lessons from experience? When challenges arise, we either rise up to face them — or we allow them to rise so high over us that they cast a shadow from which we seemingly cannot escape. Think back to what you wish you had done differently the last time you faced a situation that was less than ideal. Here is your chance to get it right this time! It’s the Equinox! I have a light-shedding, hopegiving, worry-quashing four-minute forecast for you. Call 0906 751 5606.

LIBRA Sep 24 — Oct 23 NEW ideas often seem more interesting than old ones. We are all attracted to novelty, even if we are a little nervous of it. Yet many old ideas are wise and valid. If they are old, yet we are still aware of them, it may be because they have stood the test of time. One way to make an old idea appealing is to dress it up as a new idea. That may be all you need to do today to give a slightly tiresome situation a whole new lease of life. Don’t be afraid to go back. It may well represent your best way forward. How will this Equinox change your life? I have important news for you. Pick up the phone! 0906 751 5607.

SCORPIO Oct 24 — Nov 22 YOU don’t have to convince anyone of anything. Nor need they persuade you. You need not even agree to differ. It is sufficient for the sake of your survival and sanity today for you to believe yourself. You do, don’t you? You don’t secretly suspect that you may be kidding yourself, do you? Search your soul. Reach deep into your own heart and have no fear of what you find there. If it is false, face it. If it is true, embrace it. By the day’s end, you will be straight with yourself — and all else will be easy. What does the potent power of the Equinox mean for you? Call your latest four-minute forecast: 0906 751 5608.

SAGITTARIUS Nov 23 — Dec 21 ALTHOUGH Saturn’s latest sojourn in Sagittarius has only just begun, it continues till 2017. To hear some other astrologers talk, you might think you are about to be manacled and cast into a dungeon. You may as well get used to dealing with others and their silly expectations, for you will come across many more. They will continue to cast aspersions as you proceed along a positive path to a much-deserved destination. Hard work is about to start paying off. It’s the Equinox! I have a light-shedding, hope-giving, worry-quashing four-minute forecast for you. Call 0906 751 5609.

CAPRICORN Dec 22 — Jan 20 YOU may be feeling the pressure. You are well aware of the expectations others have of you and that you are setting yourself some tricky targets. You feel as if you can’t allow yourself to be comfortable until this has been done, that it has been dealt with and a deadline has passed. In so far as this is motivating you to accomplish something impressive, that’s fine. But if it’s starting to erode your ability to enjoy life, then you need to let yourself off the hook. You are already doing enough. Don’t push yourself too hard. How will this Equinox change your life? I have important news for you. Pick up the phone! 0906 751 5610.

AQUARIUS Jan 21 — Feb 19 NO MATTER how well we have eaten in the past, the memory won’t help us if we are hungry now. You may have slept like a log last week but that will hardly compensate if you are tired today. Without the renewal that comes from repetition, some things are meaningless. Much the same can be said of happiness. The question today is not ‘what can you look back on and feel proud of?’ It is ‘what can you look forward to with glee?’ It turns out that the answer to that second question is ‘plenty!’ What does the potent power of the Equinox mean for you? Call your latest fourminute forecast: 0906 751 5611.

PISCES Feb 20 — Mar 20 ADVERTISERS know all about the importance of ‘word of mouth’. You can spend a fortune on a TV and radio campaign backed up with hoardings, but if people are whispering about some fault with your product or service, sales will suffer. And if you can inspire recommendation and confirmation, you hardly need a flashy logo, let alone a multi-million pound budget. Now, what is the word on the street about a certain situation? If you are encouraged by this, trust it. And if not, loudly make the case to

the contrary. It’s the Equinox! I have a lightshedding, hope-giving, worry-quashing fourminute forecast for you. Call 0906 751 5612.
