OSCAR CAINER

Venus moves into Cancer today and the view, especially if you’re a Cancerian, is about to get a whole lot prettier.

The planet of love brings a renewed sense of emotional harmony, and an awareness of the finer things in life … both physical and philosophical. It’s an opportunity for us all to find beauty in caring for each other. This weekend, take a moment to appreciate the ones you’re closest to.

A minute spent this way is never wasted.

ARIES Mar 21 — Apr 20 THEY say that blood is thicker than water. They also say we are composed of 65 per cent water and that plasma, which makes up 55 per cent of blood, is 92 per cent water. No matter the percentages, all of these fluids are critical to survival. Today, as Venus moves in Cancer, she reminds us that it’s not only our bloodlines that unite us. It’s our life story lines, too. We need both to create the body of people we call ‘family’. Encouragement and care come from an unusual source today. Your family is growing! As the Solstice draws near, there is huge potential for change. You can maximise its power. Call 0906 751 5601. TAURUS Apr 21 — May 21 ‘THE first photographs, movies and TV shows were in monochrome. In those early days, people understood more about shades of grey than they do today. Now, in our bright-coloured, high-contrast world, subtlety is a little lost on us.’ Jonathan’s observations are apt for you today: ‘These days we don’t just expect visuals to be clear, we get told who to boo, and what to cheer. Consider looking more deeply at something that others seem happy to take at face value. You can only profit from this.’ How will the Solstice transform your life? There’s inspiring news in your latest forecast. Call 0906 751 5602. GEMINI May 22 — June 22 SOME people watch a magician and enjoy the show, entertained by the myth and the spectacle. Others want to know how the trick is done. We may be watching the same performance, but our perception can be very different. But why are illusions performed? Perhaps, we should be concentrating on why people act in a mysterious way rather than what they are doing. Today, you will understand the motives behind a series of events that have been puzzling you, and take positive action. Let the warmth and power of the Solstice inspire you.

That’s fan mail, love letters and tax rebates dropping on your doormat! Maybe the post office won’t need a bigger van for your mail, but there’s a sense that you’ll be receiving gifts aplenty. This is a tipping point … an opportunity to make fresh connections and refresh old ones. To benefit from this cosmic present, be open to its potential. If you give as freely as you receive…reward, recognition and romance are yours. The Solstice brings powerful positive change! There’s great news in your latest forecast. Call 0906 751 5604. LEO July 24 — Aug 23 IT’S said that an audience would prefer to listen to three minutes of out-of-tune music than to a guitar being tuned for three minutes. Musicians, well aware of the effect of their pre-performance checks on the audience, have a phrase: ‘We tune because we care.’ We often have to pass through a painful process in order to move into a place of ease. You’ve become so accustomed to hearing discord, you’ve forgotten the melody. Today marks the moment when tuning ends and you can make sweet music. As the Solstice draws near, there is huge potential for change. You can maximise its power. Call 0906 751 5605. VIRGO Aug 24 — Sep 23 ONE of Aesop’s fables tells the tale of a lion who spares a mouse. The mouse tells the lion that if he sets him free, it will return the favour one day. The king of the jungle, amused by the idea that he’ll ever need any help from so tiny a creature, lets the mouse go. Later, when the lion has been caught by hunters, the mouse gnaws through their net and honours his promise. Though your acts of service seem small to you, they have an effect far more profound than you can imagine. How will the Solstice transform your life? There’s inspiring news in your latest forecast. Call 0906 751 5606. LIBRA Sep 24 — Oct 23 ‘WE’RE encouraged, from an early age, not to be arrogant or egotistical. We may take pride in our accomplishments, but we must not brag or gloat. Well-mannered people take this seriously. Sometimes, indeed, they feel so keen not to appear crass, they downplay their abilities, preferring to be too humble rather than cocky.’ Jonathan’s observations and interpretation holds good for you today: ‘This can lead to debilitating cases of low selfesteem. Today, you have every reason to hold your head high.’ Let the warmth and power of the Solstice inspire you. Call your latest fourminute forecast: 0906 751 5607. SCORPIO Oct 24 — Nov 22 WE ALL have gifts that make us special and unique, and that includes you. The problem is that the things we do well come so naturally to us that they are hard to appreciate. They are our talents, and we have them for a reason. When we begin to recognise them, they can be nurtured and used with better effect. With the arrival of Venus in Cancer, it’s time to take your attributes out of the cupboard and give them a polish. Embracing your potential takes courage. But you have so much to gain. The Solstice brings powerful positive change! There’s great news in your latest forecast. Call 0906 751 5608. SAGITTARIUS Nov 23 — Dec 21 ‘THIS machine clearly doesn’t like me. But I find I can get it to behave better if I speak nicely to it.’ Scientifically minded people roll their eyes when they hear such comments. There may be thousands of reasons why devices misbehave, but none can involve the equipment having a personality. Jonathan’s interpretation of today’s alignments are in the same vein: ‘Although it’s tempting to robustly defend mystical attributions, if there’s a problem, its cause is likely to be logical.’ As the Solstice draws near, there is huge potential for change. You can maximise its power. Call 0906 751 5609. CAPRICORN Dec 22 — Jan 20 CLOSE your eyes and imagine your perfect partner. Instead of thinking about their looks, focus on how they make you feel. Envisage the way they soothe you when you’re frustrated and how they listen and understand you. Open your eyes again. Is the person standing in front of you? Be patient. Venus moving into your opposite sign has the potential to bring this person into your life. The planet of love moves in mysterious ways, though. You may find what you are seeking is closer than you think. How will the Solstice transform your life? There’s inspiring news in your latest forecast. Call 0906 751 5610. AQUARIUS Jan 21 — Feb 19 ‘NOTHING will work unless you do.’ So said the writer and civil rights activist Maya Angelou. Well, you’ve been doing a lot of it and, as far as you’re aware, your efforts have been going unnoticed. But if it’s the act of ‘doing’ that’s so important, you are doing very well! And recognition is the end product of the process, not the goal. You’re heading along a path that will lead to a satisfying place. Allow yourself to feel pleased with your progress and, as if by magic, others will value you, too. Let the warmth and power of the Solstice inspire you. Call your latest four-minute forecast: 0906 751 5611. PISCES Feb 20 — Mar 20 SOMETIMES, we know what we ought to do but find ourselves somehow unable to do it. Should we interpret this as evidence of our own inadequacy? Jonathan had an answer to that question, posed to you today: ‘There are times when our idea of what’s appropriate is flawed or based on insufficient information. Suppose you fail to catch a train on time, only to find out you didn’t need to make the journey! If for some reason, you’re not able to get where you think you should go, don’t worry!’ The Solstice brings powerful positive change! There’s great news in your latest forecast. Call 0906 751 5612.
