JONATHAN CAINER

In 1781 we discovered Uranus. Two years later, the first manned hot-air balloon flight took place. neptune’s discovery, in 1846, coincided with the development of early forerunners of modern photography. Astronomers now say Pluto is too small to be a planet. Mind you, atoms are pretty small, too, and some might say the ability to split the atom was a pretty big thing. Today’s even bigger question is: what world-changing technology and mind-blowing possibilities can we expect from a newly announced ninth planet, almost as big as neptune, on the edge of our solar system?

ARIES Mar 21 — Apr

20 ‘ZIP-A-DEE Doo-Dah, Zip-A-Dee-A, My oh my, what a wonderful day Plenty of sunshine heading my way. . . ’ So goes Ray Gilbert’s Disney song. It sounds like nonsense, unless you happen to be in a very good mood, at which point, every word begins to make perfect sense. Some even say that if you are not at all elated or excited by life, this is a song that can be used like an Eastern meditation mantra to ‘summon’ the very spirit you lack. One way or another such a feeling is not as far from you as you may fear. Don’t miss your 2016 Full Year-Ahead Love and Money forecast. There’s great news. Call 0906 751 5601.

TAURUS Apr 21 — May 21 You can't rise above every irritation. But you can try. In trying, you can go a surprisingly long way in the right direction. We must, of course, be careful not to confuse transcendence with suppression. We don’t want to end up holding back our feelings until they develop steam in the pressure cooker of our heart and then cause our inner lid to blow. We must be higher, wiser, calmer, more mindful and more enlightened. Or, at least, we must try. And with those words, I refer you back to the third sentence above!

GEMINI May 22 — June 22 Some people put much effort and energy into trying to turn back time. Hence the popularity of radio stations that only play the hits of yesteryear. Or hair dye. Or antiageing cream. Such plans and policies can be surprisingly successful. Not only can we fool ourselves into thinking nothing has changed, we can persuade others to join us in a makebelieve realm where the pages of the calendar never turn. Yet progress has brought many good things into your life too. Today, you can count some of those blessings. Don’t miss your 2016 Full Year-Ahead Love and Money forecast. There’s great news.

CANCER June 23 — July 23 Even if we aren’t entirely happy with a situation, we tend to feel just a little better about it if we can feel sure that we know what’s causing it and how it has come about. This isn’t just so we know who to blame. It is also because information equates to a kind of knowledge and knowledge is power. You may feel now that you’ve got no ability to alter an

essential set of circumstances. But in time, if you’re determined and patient, you’ll either gain the insight you lack or the opportunity you need . . . or both! Don’t miss your 2016 Full Year-Ahead Love and Money forecast. There’s great news. Call 0906 751 5604.

LEO July 24 — Aug 23 This weekend brings the annual full moon in Leo. That, if you stop to think about it, explains everything! You’re not so sure it does? Then perhaps you haven’t stopped and thought for long enough! Stop and think a little longer. Or don’t stop. Carry on. And, if you prefer not to think, don’t think. Just proceed without further thought — and without further fear. Whether you’re now following a careful plan or feel you’re careering crazily down a ski slope of surprises, you’re heading in the right direction — and soon, you’ll see why!

VIRGO Aug 24 — Sep 23 There may be some limit to our ability to empathise with one another as closely as we might wish, but we humans certainly seem able to learn from the experience of others. We watch folk run into trouble, we nod knowingly when we reckon we understand where they have gone wrong, and we vow to ourselves that such errors will never be repeated by us! Or at least, we do unless we have persuaded ourselves that extenuating circumstances apply in our case. You’re not talking yourself into that

idea today are you? Don’t miss your 2016 Full Year-Ahead Love and Money forecast. There’s great news. Call 0906 751 5606.

LIBRA Sep 24 — Oct 23 Some people says there’s no such thing as the Spaghetti Monster. How can they be sure? Aren’t they just peddling false hope when they tell us such things in their reassuringly adult tones of voice? Have they properly looked into every single packet of pasta on the whole planet? The monster could be out there, hiding somewhere! Today’s news is good, regardless of whether you are or are not willing to hear it. But it will be a whole lot better and will have many more positive implications if you listen and trust! Don’t miss your 2016 Full Year-Ahead Love and Money forecast. There’s great news.

SCORPIO Oct 24 — Nov 22 The great unknown sounds so inviting. Or, at least, it does as long as we can feel sure it has checks and balances. It will have been safety-checked, won’t it? Teams of responsible operatives have investigated it, haven’t they? Well, if they have, we must ask how unknown this unknown truly is? That’s not such a silly question. If you are to profit from the emergence of today’s subtle opportunity, remember that what’s an unknown quantity to you may well represent highly familiar territory to someone else!

SAGITTARIUS Nov 23 — Dec 21 PEOPLE being trained to work in sales soon learn that most people are more easily influenced than they realise. We give out subtle signs and we look out for them too. We respond to these unconsciously, unless we are alert. Even then, if someone is gently but firmly assertive, it is very hard for us to resist a suggestion to go in a particular direction. I say this not to warn you, but to remind you that if you’re strong and sure when you speak to others today, it will be hard for you not to get what you seek.

CAPRICORN Dec 22 — Jan 20 Is it ever possible to make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear? Perhaps not. But a clever craftsperson might turn it into a suede pocket. The ability to improvise is an essential component of intelligence. If we wish to prove ourselves capable, we must adapt to changing circumstances. As you now look at a problem that seemingly can’t be solved in any obvious way, consider which rules may be irrelevant. Are all requirements essential? There is room, somewhere in your world, for a change of plan today. Don’t miss your 2016 Full Year-Ahead Love and Money forecast. There’s great news. Call 0906 751 5610.

AQUARIUS Jan 21 — Feb 19 We are all victims of protocol. We all encounter situations in life where it is obvious that something needs to happen and, preferably, quickly. But before this can occur, that must take place first. And even before that, some other procedure must be adhered to. Today’s challenge involves deciding whether you feel justified in making a judgement call. In defying a rule, you will either earn reward or an admonishment. But if you know you are doing the right thing, how can there be a choice? Don’t miss your 2016 Full Year-Ahead Love and Money forecast. There’s great news. Call 0906 751 5611.

PISCES Feb 20 — Mar 20 They say: If you've fail to plan, you plan to fail.’ But what kind of people say this? And what’s their problem? Do they genuinely believe that every contingency can be anticipated, and there is no such thing as a spontaneous event that requires a sudden, instinctive response? Those who fail to plan are presumably planning instead — on their hearts rightly leading them where their heads could never go in a million years of strategic meetings and consultations.
