JONATHAN CAINER

I always enjoy stargazing live on BBC2. I’d enjoy it even more if only the presenters were less contemptuous of astrology. Brian Cox is a Piscean, Dara O Briain an aquarian. I assume they must have developed a special affinity with each other due to some traumatic childhood encounter with a spookily accurate astrologer. what else can explain their compulsion to pretend that I and my colleagues don’t understand the precession of the equinoxes and thus sceptical astronomers are entitled to invent new zodiac signs with new dates. That’s dafter than denying the similarities between quantum mechanics and mysticism!

ARIES Mar 21 — Apr 20

WE ARE never sure how much credence to give our inner voices. We hear them whispering and there is often no mistaking their message. Even though, among those who can be classified as clinically sane (if, indeed, any of us can), those voices often disagree! If we are saying things to ourselves that make no sense, it is surely sensible to be circumspect and subject such thoughts to scrutiny. Yet you keep having one thought now that won’t go away. Shouldn’t you heed it? An amazing year has just begun. Find out how good it will be for you, your love-life or your money. Call 0906 751 5601.

TAURUS

Apr 21 — May 21

LOOK at how our towns and cities have developed over many years. Buildings get put up to serve one purpose. Later they are adapted to serve another. They may be changed again or pulled down and replaced with entirely different structures. All depends on the need of each new era. Collectively too, we change our minds over time about what we want. It is hardly surprising then, that as individuals we do the same. What once mattered greatly to you is now all but an irrelevance. Be glad of that today. The rare, amazing Transit of Mercury will change your life in 2016. Call me to find out how: 0906 751 5602.

GEMINI May 22 — June 22

‘THE Moving Finger writes; and, having writ, Moves on . . .’ So goes the line from the famous Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam. It goes on: ‘Nor all thy piety nor wit, shall lure it back to cancel half a line.’ A thousand years have passed since this Persian poet made that observation. Nothing has caused a single person to question it. We can’t turn back the clock. What’s done is done. Time marches in one direction only. Ah, but sometimes we get a second chance. Could that be here for you today? Which aspect of life do you yearn to change in 2016? For your love, money or general forecast, call 0906 751 5603.

CANCER

June 23 — July 23

YOU have a sharp side to your personality. Those who know and love you try hard to avoid evoking it. But then, you only ever use it in self-defence and it is just as well that you can be this way, because what else would stop others from taking advantage of you? You are so kind, sensitive and sweet-natured. You have smoothed over many a fracas and healed many a wound — and that’s just since this year began! Today, you will do something wonderful yet again. An amazing year has just begun. Find out how good it will be for you, your love-life or your money. Call 0906 751 5604.

LEO July 24 — Aug 23

PITY the poor detective writer who must create a plot that is complicated and misleading enough to baffle a Leo, without simultaneously going over the head of every other reader. You are pretty smart when you need to be. You are also, sometimes, pretty smart when you don’t need to be — or even, indeed, when it might be more advantageous to think less, speak less and generally be less aware and alert. Might you be applying your mighty intellect to a mystery that is best left unsolved today? The rare, amazing Transit of Mercury will change your life in 2016. Call me to find out how: 0906 751 5605.

VIRGO

Aug 24 — Sep 23

HOW will a saga turn out? When the curtain comes down on the final act of some great drama, will the audience simply feel grateful to be free from the theatre — or will they have a real sense of triumph as they realise the right things have happened for the right reasons, and that they have witnessed the right results? You are not just watching a situation unfold, you are actually shaping it with your every thought and deed. Pursue a positive outcome and you will yet get one. Which aspect of life do you yearn to change in 2016? For your love, money or general forecast, call 0906 751 5606. MUSICIANS often talk about how they won’t

LIBRA Sep 24 — Oct 23

‘sell out’. They prefer

to make the kind of music they want to make and would rather be recognised for this by a discriminating few than enjoy the rewards of mass-market popularity. Yet isn’t there a subtle, special skill to playing pop? Aren’t some expressions of musical taste just snobbery? With that in mind, we now look at where you, today, may be resisting the suggestion of a compromise. There may be less at stake than you imagine. An amazing year has just begun. Find out how good it will be for you, your love-life or your money. Call 0906 751 5607.

SCORPIO

Oct 24 — Nov 22

THE future, by definition, is different from the past! We can’t expect it to be the same. Yet the change we want to see rarely happens suddenly. Just as we can’t sit and watch plants grow, we can’t observe evolution in real time — be it physical or psychological. Important processes must be allowed to take their time. We must trust that the right changes, if fostered lovingly and patiently, will gradually take effect. Something big and potentially wonderful is slowly arising in your life now. Trust this. The rare, amazing Transit of Mercury will change your life in 2016. Call me to find out how: 0906 751 5608.

SAGITTARIUS Nov 23 — Dec 21

WHAT can’t happen and why? How badly, despite this,

do you wish it could happen? Can a situation be changed? Or can a view of that situation be altered so that an option, once seen as unworkable, begins to look worthy of investigation? Overnight miracles may be unattainable but that doesn’t mean you can’t make steady progress. Nor is there any evidence to suggest that if you now commit to a plan that inspires you, it won’t bring a result that delights you. Which aspect of life do you yearn to change in 2016? For your love, money or general forecast, call 0906 751 5609.

CAPRICORN

Dec 22 — Jan 20

THE world, it seems, is full of potential repositories for our most loyal affiliations. ‘Everything will be OK,’ we are informed, ‘as long as we believe in this, vote for that, shop here and buy there’. But if everything is OK when we comply with those instructions or respond to those adverts, it is largely down to coincidence. You wish you could surround yourself today with a ring of cosmic confidence that might ensure you couldn’t put a step wrong. Actually, you have one. You can thank yourself for it! An amazing year has just begun. Find out how good it will be for you, your lovelife or your money. Call 0906 751 5610.

AQUARIUS Jan 21 — Feb 19

SUPERMARKETS don’t sell happiness. They would, though, if they could, as would any other retail enterprise. They would all happily take our money in return for putting a smile upon our face. But even in the entertainment industry, the transaction is not so simple. Nobody else can make us happy. That’s something only we can do. Some situations, it’s true, seemingly make it easier for us, and others do the opposite. But today, nothing can stand in the way of your own quest for contentment. The rare, amazing Transit of Mercury will change your life in 2016. Call me to find out how: 0906 751 5611.

PISCES

Feb 20 — Mar 20

WHO invented you? Did some great cosmic designer sit at a workbench, late into the evening, cooking up smart schemes until they eventually found a formula that produced your unique personality? How do you think they felt when they’d finished? They must have been pleased. Except, of course, that they didn’t ever finish because you aren’t finished. You are a work in progress. You are developing and evolving, even as we speak. And you are now in the process of making spectacular advances. Which aspect of life do you yearn to change in 2016? For your love, money or general forecast, call 0906 751 5612.
