JONATHAN CAINER

Dear Jonathan, Recently you suggested that life is a gift, even during suffering. Baby elephants are forcefully taken from their mothers and beaten until their spirits are broken. they are then made to work and endure dreadful abuse. How would you justify your belief to them that life is a gift? Merril Dear Merril, I’ve long been a vegan. I agree that, for many creatures, life is anything but a gift. But for humans, even those who suffer, indeed, even for those who inflict suffering, there’s still always, at least, an option: celebrate the good or surrender to the bad.

ARIES Mar 21 — Apr 20 WE LET too many people put too many ideas into our heads. We talk, read, listen to the radio and watch TV. Naturally, we enjoy those interactions. And, of course, we don’t accept without question every piece of information that comes our way. We take pride in our ability to challenge other people’s opinions. Yet subtly, somehow, some views slip under our radar and start to colour our judgment. Be aware, this week, of the difference between ‘what you know’ and ‘what you think you know’. Today’s Full moon is powerful. Use its light to change your life for the better. Your NEW forecast is ready: 0906 751 5601.

TAURUS Apr 21 — May 21 HOW IS your big adventure progressing? Are you embracing change in quite the way many people have recently been encouraging you to do? Perhaps you are not convinced this is a time for brave departures. Or maybe the only change you have instigated lately seems timid and small. Even if so, it may be significant. It could be the first movement of what will eventually snowball into a chain reaction with dramatic and positive consequences. Something

is moving in the right direction this week. Under the light of today’s Full moon, let your spookily accurate NEW forecast guide you this week. Call 0906 751 5602.

GEMINI May 22 — June 22 I MUST be careful how I phrase this forecast. I want to tell you that things are likely to go your way this week. But I don’t want to set up the expectation that all you have to do is sit back and wait for the cosmos to align itself in your favour and for your guardian angel to start delivering requests on a series of silver platters. You are going to have to put in a bit of effort, too. Indeed, you may even have to work very hard. But not so hard as to stress yourself out. Keep calm and carry on. All will be well. Are you ready to look at your life in a new light? Today’s Full moon has a powerful message for you. Call 0906 751 5603.

CANCER June 23 —J uly 23 YOU DO so much. You try so hard. You put up with such a lot. And your reward for all that is? The universe gives you more reasons to try harder and extra challenges to rise to. When others with different personalities see this syndrome happening, they decide to escape it. ‘Why carry on being stretched until you break?’ they ask. You can’t see past a sense of obligation, duty and responsibility. If you don’t give your all, who will? Yet this week, thankfully, someone is due to go the extra mile for you. Today’s Full moon is powerful. Use its light to change your life for the better. Your NEW forecast is ready: 0906 751 5604.

LEO July 24 — Aug 23 WE FACE so many trials and tribulations. There are endless tests of our patience. As fast as we solve one set of problems, another set emerges. Or, at least, that’s how it seems to be. But that’s not all that’s going on. Other processes are happening, too. The Full Moon suggests you are conscious of a missing resource. There is something you lack yet wish you had. This week, you may discover you are not quite as badly off as you had begun to fear. You’ve got more going for you than you know. Under the light of today’s Full moon, let your spookily accurate NEW forecast guide you this week. Call 0906 751 5605.

VIRGO Aug 24 — Sep 23 THINGS happen for a reason. Of that, we all feel fairly sure. Or, at least, we are willing to be persuaded of it. But what things? And for what reasons? Do some of the reasons conflict with each other? Do some of the things serve alternate purposes? The Full Moon in your sign highlights your struggle to make sense of a confusing situation. How are you supposed to react to all the dramas that seem to be unfolding around you? This week, frustration will be replaced by revelation. Are you ready to look at your life in a new light? Today’s Full moon has a powerful message for you. Call 0906 751 5606. LIBRA Sep 24 — Oct 23 WE OFTEN look back on a chapter in our history and think: ‘I wish I had done things differently.’ We can’t understand why we handled things in the way we did. But then they do say hindsight is 20/20. The purpose of a forecast like this is to provide a little foresight. There is a brave way to proceed — and then there is an alternative way that many might describe as ‘safe’. Yet one of the things it may be safe from is any chance at all of bringing you the result you want. Better to be bold this week. Today’s Full moon is powerful. Use its light to change your life for the better. Your NEW forecast is ready: 0906 751 5607.

SCORPIO Oct 24 — Nov 22 WE NEVER can be sure about how far to go, how hard to push and when to hold back. We spend all day, every day, evaluating our options. Once in a while, we misjudge a situation. Though this may represent one lapse of concentration in an otherwise impeccable record of discrimination, we remember the error and imagine that this is all that others will remember, too. You, though, should be aware this week that many folk have short memories. There is no need to be hard on yourself. Under the light of today’s Full moon, let your spookily accurate NEW forecast guide you this week. Call 0906 751 5608.

SAGITTARIUS Nov 23 — Dec 21 THE world, it seems, is full of people who are happy to sit back and wait. If they feel that they have done enough, why should they do more? What is the point in chasing and racing? Why not just hang around and see what turns up? This, I hasten to add, is not your style. You are a mover and a shaker. But, this week, you might gain greatly from being more easygoing. What seems urgent matters less than you think. The only pressing thing is the need to avoid putting yourself under pressure. Are you ready to look at your life in a new light? Today’s Full moon has a powerful message for you. Call 0906 751 5609.

CAPRICORN Dec 22 — Jan 20 PEOPLE never like being told they have made a mistake. Diplomats soon learn they can profit greatly from refining the ability to hint gently at the existence of an error. A subtle approach should always be attempted before a more assertive statement is made. This week, you may find yourself needing to talk to someone whose decisions of late have been questionable. Remember that what’s obvious to you is less immediately apparent to them. Go gently. A potential difficulty can soon be overcome. Today’s Full moon is powerful. Use its light to change your life for the better. Your NEW forecast is ready: 0906 751 5610.

AQUARIUS Jan 21 — Feb 19 YOU ARE not as remote, aloof, distant or detached as some astrologers often insist you are. If we look back into the history of mythology and symbolism, we can see where this suggestion emanated from, but we can also see how it has become exaggerated. Though some Aquarians take a perverse pleasure in identifying with this description, deep within you know full well that your heart is softer than many give you credit for being. This week, your kindness brings you many benefits. Under the light of today’s Full moon, let your spookily accurate NEW forecast guide you this week. Call 0906 751 5611.

PISCES Feb 20 — Mar 20 SOMETIMES, we make an agreement or plan with someone else. We may decide to do something or go somewhere because we think this is what they would prefer. They misinterpret our desire to satisfy their requirement by assuming that the stated objective must represent our personal preference. They don’t want to offend us by suggesting an alternative. We don’t want to offend them. So everyone ends up accepting an arrangement that suits no one! A way to break that cycle arises this week. Are you ready to look at your life in a new light? Today’s Full moon has a powerful message for you. Call 0906 751 5612.
