OSCAR CAINER

Long before the game Boy or teddy bears, a ‘jack-in-the-box’ was the best toy in the nursery. Legend has it the idea for it was based on rector John Schorne, who cast the Devil into a boot and thereby saved the village of north Marston. I know that if someone cranks my handle hard enough, a side that I’d rather keep a lid on pops out! Recent Plutonian activity brings self-control to the fore. If we can exercise will power, tension can be transformed into something much more useful.

ARIES Mar 21 — Apr 20

EXCITEMENT is contagious. When someone is genuinely enthusiastic about something we can feel it and, even if we don’t share their passion, we’re hard-wired to respond. It doesn’t mean that we just throw in the towel and follow them along their chosen path. Rather, we empathise, and add our energy to theirs. This is a concept you can benefit from today. If you want someone to add their support to your idea, just let them know how important it is to you, and they can add momentum. Are you ready for a new month? Your prediction for the next 30 days is ready. Make November great! Call 0906 751 5601.

TAURUS Apr 21 — May 21

YOU’RE feeling stuck between a rock and a hard place, and it’s a most uncomfortable position to find yourself in. The more you think about it, the more unfair and undesirable it seems. You can’t simply ignore the difficulties facing you, but today, you can put a brave face on them. Then you’ll have the energy to manage this situation. Within a day or two you’ll realise that something critical has changed and that with the insight you’ve gained, you can make a wise, and necessary decision. Remember, remember, it’s nearly November.

GEMINI May 22 — June 22

YOU’VE got many reasons to be thankful. OK, life isn’t perfect, but that won’t stop you from making the most of what you’ve got, will it? A current problem is tempting you to fret about a recent decision. You’ve made an important choice, but now you’re in unfamiliar territory, and it’s making you feel uneasy and doubtful. But you’ve got control, and just because the decision you made has placed you in an unusual situation, it doesn’t mean that it’s wrong. Trust yourself. Are you ready for a brand-new month? Your prediction for the next 30 days is ready. Make November great! Call 0906 751 5603.

CANCER June 23 — July 23

YOUR ability to empathise drives you to intervene in unfair situations and compels you to take care of people. You subconsciously understand that it’s often only luck that separates you from experiencing someone else’s desperate situation, but it’s not just empathy at work. You’re blessed with a reservoir of kindness, and sometimes this reservoir spills over. You might be surprised by the strength of your feelings today, but no matter what touches your heart, you have the resources to deal with it. Remember, remember, it’s nearly November. Light up your life! Call your four-minute, monthahead forecast: 0906 751 5604.

LEO July 24 — Aug 23

RESOURCEFUL people are often those with the fewest assets, and some of the world’s brightest sparks barely spent any time at school. Does that mean we should remove children from education and challenge them to pull themselves up from the gutter? We needn’t be quite as dramatic as that, but it’s helpful to remember that heroines and heroes believe in themselves, even in the face of overwhelming odds. No matter how you got here, your stamina will lead you to success. Are you ready for a new month? Your prediction for the next 30 days is ready. Make November great! Call 0906 751 5605.

VIRGO Aug 24 — Sep 23

GOING shopping on an empty stomach is never a good idea — you’re bound to end up with a few tasty snacks in your trolley that aren’t on your shopping list. It’s much the same when it comes to making decisions. What seems like a good idea in the middle of the night will undoubtedly need a rethink in the cold light of day. You’re aware of an issue that needs to be dealt with. But rather than make a quick decision, wait for a moment of calm. Recent Plutonian activity suggests that it’s on its way. Remember, remember, it’s nearly November. Light up your life! Call your four-minute, monthahead forecast: 0906 751 5606.

LIBRA Sep 24 — Oct 23

You made the decisions that have got you here, and you’re the one who can make the choices to move you forward. The cosmos is imbuing you with strength now. You can confidently take responsibility for your actions and rest assured in the decisions you’ve made. It’s time to have a look at your highest aspirations. Your degree of realising them is surprisingly good. Are you ready for a brand-new month? Your prediction for the next 30 days is ready. Make November great! Call 0906 751 5607.

SCORPIO Oct 24 — Nov 22

ALTHOUGH there’s always a joker in a pack of cards, there are many games that don’t include it. So we just put it on the side or leave it in the box and concentrate on the game in hand, without giving it a second thought. You’re so busy focusing on a complex situation at the moment you’ve forgotten that you have another card up your sleeve. This could be the time to put it on the table. It will not only lighten the mood, it will give you an important advantage over the other players. Remember, remember, it’s nearly November. Light up your life! Call your four-minute, month-ahead forecast: 0906 751 5608.

SAGITTARIUS Nov 23 — Dec 21

IT WOULD be fitting to imagine Freddie Mercury singing to you today. The line ‘any way the wind blows, doesn’t really matter . . . to me’ could have been written for you. As a Sagittarian, you’re naturally able to go with the flow. You delight in changing course and surprising people with your ability to adapt. But recently you’ve been feeling caught in a trap created by others, and it’s not an enjoyable feeling. The way out is neither complicated nor painful, and you can find it today. Are you ready for a new month? Your prediction for the next 30 days is ready. Make November great! Call 0906 751 5609.

CAPRICORN Dec 22 — Jan 20

CHALLENGES present us with choice: we can either buckle and allow our confidence to crumble or double our determination and find a way through. You’re worrying about something that feels beyond your control. You’re exasperated by the manner in which this is being handled. You wish you’d done things differently, and thought things through. But this experience is empowering you to create your future. Today you can begin to move towards somewhere where you’re appreciated and happy. Remember, remember, it’s nearly November. Light up your life! Call your four-minute, month-ahead forecast: 0906 751 5610.

AQUARIUS Jan 21 — Feb 19

EVERY day we put on a suit of invisible armour, and with our visor down and shield in hand, we feel protected from any emotional bows and arrows pointed in our direction. We’re equipped to dull potential sharp shocks and deflect unwanted attention. But something has made its way through your defence system. It has wounded your self-confidence and threatened your sense of purpose. Yet you have the weapons to deal with this invasion. It feels much more intimidating than it is. Are you ready for a new month? Your prediction for the next 30 days is ready. Make November great! Call 0906 751 5611.

PISCES Feb 20 — Mar 20

YOU’RE known for your sensitivity. You possess a deep sense of compassion and concern for others. You have a history of sacrificing your own well-being for the sake of the people and campaigns that matter most to you. Though this sometimes means that you feel taken for granted, it’s a real gift. Today will remind you that you’re not alone in your desire to help, but rather than dig deeply into your well of kindness, you’ll discover that someone is able to give you what you need. Remember, remember, it’s nearly November. Light up your life! Call your four-minute, month-ahead forecast: 0906 751 5612.
