OSCAR CAINER

IN THIS daily space, as my uncle Jonathan did, I will steer you through the astrological climate that informs your daily readings. It will also be the place to share your letters and questions and respond to some key issues. As ever, Jonathan remains my constant guide. I will use his interpretations and the skills he taught me to forecast for every sign of the zodiac. Tomorrow, I’ll tell you about the cosmic gifts that June holds in store for us.

ARIES

Mar 21 — Apr 20 I BET you’re sick of

the phrase ‘hold your horses’. It’s not as if you drive a stagecoach! How about ‘calm down’? If ever words were unlikely to elicit and intended response, it’s those two. You have passion and fire, and you shouldn’t have to temper that for anyone. But what if you found your situation improved with more looking and less leaping? You shouldn’t deny your natural impulses. But checking the landing site before you jump will help cushion the impact and make the ride more enjoyable.

TAURUS Apr 21 — May 21

THERE’S a story about a famous rock band demanding 1,001 M&Ms in their dressing room with no brown ones. It’s used as an example of rock ‘n’ roll excess. The truth is even more fascinating: the demand was buried deep in their contract among all the technical info. If the band found there were no M&Ms, they knew that the safety instructions had not been read and they would pull out of the gig. Take a look at what appears to be superfluous in your life today. Perhaps it’s important after all. Your in-depth June monthly forecast lasts four minutes. It could be one of the most rewarding calls you make. Call 0906 751 5602.

GEMINI May 22 — June 22

‘THE Sun has got his hat on and he’s coming out to play.’ We all know the song by Noel Gay and Ralph Butler. But listen to the 1932 recordings and you may hear rather less politically correct language. There are often difficulties in the things we know and like. If we let them, little tics and habits can destroy relationships we once thought perfect. The Sun in Gemini is bringing playful light to your life. Don’t pay too much attention to the shadows. They are fleeting. Bathe instead in its glow. Your in-depth June monthly forecast lasts four minutes. It could be one of the most rewarding calls you make. Call 0906 751 5603.

CANCER June 23 — July 23

MY TWO-year old was having a tantrum and my wife remarked: ‘Oh, you’re so melodramatic.’ ‘ Don’twantitmelly-dramatic!’ he countered. Sometimes we try to prove to others that they are wrong about us and instead make their case. We are desperate to make something happen, but our eagerness hinders, not helps. You have a goal, but are you trying too hard? Step back and trust in today’s helpful cosmic climate. The path is easier than you think. Your in-depth June monthly forecast lasts four minutes.

LEO July 24 — Aug 23

E,A, D, G, B, E. In the early 1960’s guitarist Davey Graham broke musical rules. Guitar players will know the letters above are the notes of the six strings from low to high. They are, in fact, what defines each chord shape on a guitar. When Davey heard an oud, a Moroccan stringed instrument, being played, he started looked at different ways to tune his guitar. You now have a chance to re-tune your own priorities, rip up the rulebook and set your imagination free. Your in-depth June monthly forecast lasts four minutes.

VIRGO Aug 24 — Sep 23

THE Groom of the Stool was once a position in royal households, the envy of many a competitive courtier. The Groom enjoyed time and physical proximity with the king that was rarely achieved by his other palace aides. Yet, incongruously, their principal duties were to help the king with his daily ablutions! Over the years it became a role of immense power, responsibility and influence. Currently, you are fulfilling a role that you feel undervalues your talents. It is set to change for the better. Your in-depth June monthly forecast lasts four minutes.

LIBRA

Sep 24 — Oct 23 HERE’S some timely

advice from Jonathan that’s appropriate: ‘What looks like a problem is just an issue you need to deal with. It will only become a drama and difficulty if your response is disproportionate. Normally, you’re easily able to detach yourself from intense emotions and act with consideration. But it’s often said about Librans that you’re as passionate as the rest of us and strong feelings can overwhelm you. Be both aware and wary of your heart today.’ Your in-depth June monthly forecast lasts four minutes. It could be one of the most rewarding calls you make. Call 0906 751 5607.

SCORPIO Oct 24 — Nov 22

TRAINSPOTTERS, vintage car enthusiasts, birdwatchers, stamp collectors — the list could go on forever. It seems there are almost as many ways to obsess as there are people in the world! You can look upon these activities as harmless fascinations or even enriching studies. But there’s a fine line between a harmless hobby and an obsession. Are you needlessly obsessing about something right now? Take a deep breath, a step back and reassess. You will see a clear way forward. Your in-depth June monthly forecast lasts four minutes.

SAGITTARIUS Nov 23 — Dec 21 WHEN I was a teenager, I arrived at my first festival, my mind alive to new sights, smells and experiences. Jonathan was there — and even as the memory fades, a moment with him stays bright. He borrowed my guitar and played a silly song that had everyone in stitches. It left a lasting impression on me. Sagittarians often have more of an influence than they are aware of. Today, keep in mind how it is you’d like to be remembered. Your in-depth June monthly forecast lasts four minutes.

CAPRICORN Dec 22 — Jan 20

‘WHERE are you going to little brown mouse? Come for a feast in my logpile house.’ So says Snake in Julia Donaldson’s The Gruffalo. As you can imagine, Mouse and Snake aren’t ideal companions! It may be rather simple imagery but today it could be important to keep in mind. Somewhere you’re receiving an invitation that is more than it seems. Think carefully before you accept. You might need some creative excuses to get out of it, but if you do accept, be sure to keep your wits about you. Your in-depth June monthly forecast lasts four minutes.

Here’s Jonathan’s advice: ‘If you find your position is precarious, there are various things you can cling to for safety. You need not feel that if you don’t hang on tightly to one source of support, you may never find another. The further into the week we go, the clearer it will be that you have many options. Some are not just ‘acceptable’, they are potentially advantageous.’ Your in-depth June monthly forecast lasts four minutes. It could be one of the most rewarding calls you make. Call 0906 751 5611.

PISCES Feb 20 — Mar 20

YOUR two ruling planets are in a sky pattern which will soon include the Sun and Venus and become a Mutable Grand Cross. It will have a powerful effect on your life. As Jonathan interpreted it: ‘You will soon emanate an almost irresistible charm. Who will fall under your spell? Will you touch the right hearts for the right reasons or simply become fascinated by your reflection in the eyes of others? The question now is: “What (or who) do I really want? And why”.’ Your in-depth June monthly forecast lasts four minutes. It could be one of the most rewarding calls you make. Call 0906 751 5612.
