OSCAR CAINER

YESTERDAY, we talked about how the transformation we’re currently undertaking is positive and regenerative. But I doubt that anyone with triskaidekaphobia will heed that message. those people who suffer from a fear of the number 13 will point out that today is Friday the 13th and thus believed by some people to be unlucky. But there’s nothing ghoulish about our astrology now. With Mercury turning direct, as Jupiter and Pluto align, it suggests that, this weekend, fortune favours brave and adventurous hearts.

ARIES Mar 21 — Apr 20

EVEN though we shop online, it often feels as if we do as much traipsing around as we ever did. It’s just that, instead of shopping centres, now we have to knock on the doors of our neighbours or go to distant sorting offices to pick up our missed deliveries! Mercury usually brings a welcome package of news when it visits your sign. This weekend, it stops retracing its steps in Aries so you should find that you start to receive some of what you’ve been hoping for. It will prove to be a worthwhile wait. It’s Friday the 13th. For a powerful, spookily accurate forecast that will change your luck, call 0906 751 5601.

TAURUS Apr 21 — May 21

MOST of us like to think we understand how the world functions. We’re confident about scientific discoveries and have enough psychological ‘know-how’ to be comfortable with most of the theories we come up against in our encounters. But when we think we know all the answers, we don’t leave room for personal growth. That’s why you keep finding yourself in situations where you’re pushed out of your comfort zone. Ask pertinent questions as Mercury turns direct and you’ll make an important discovery. It’s Friday the 13th. For a powerful, spookily accurate forecast that will change your luck, call 0906 751 5602.

LEO July 24 — Aug 23

THE question today is whether the journey is more important than the destination. We all know the popular answer to that. But I’d like to disagree with the recommended response. The two activities are inseparable: sometimes what feels like the ideal path ends up at a dead end, while the darkest path can lead to an idyllic scenario. There’s more than one way for you to get to where you want to go this weekend. With Jupiter and Pluto aligning, if you trust your instincts, you’ll find just what you need. It’s Friday the 13th.

VIRGO Aug 24 — Sep 23

WHEN is an error not an error? When you realise that you erroneously thought that you’d made an error! Nothing in this world happens by chance and even if we don’t understand why something is happening, we can be confident that it’s happening for the common good. It’s always better to look for the good in a situation rather than focusing on blame or recriminations. As Mercury prepares to move forward once more, it puts a positive spin on a particularly irritating dilemma. You’ll feel much better, too. It’s Friday the 13th. For a powerful, spookily accurate forecast that will change your luck, call 0906 751 5606. LIBRA Sep 24 — Oct 23 DOES anyone know who’s the boss around here? Where’s the person who tells us what to do? Even as you read these words your mind is leaping forward and you’re picturing the often-repeated scene between you and someone else. But as Mercury prepares to move forwards again — and with the weekend’s cosmic excitement — you have more power than you think. Rather than dwelling too long on thoughts about what might have been, it’s time to focus on how you want things to be. It’s Friday the 13th. For a powerful, spookily accurate forecast that will change your luck, call 0906 751 5607.

SCORPIO Oct 24 — Nov 22

MERCURY finally turns direct this weekend. While retrograde, it has forced you to face a pattern of behaviour that’s been making life difficult. It hasn’t been comfortable — but it has been valuable and, as it changes direction, you can begin to practise what you’ve learned. As Jupiter and Pluto link they bring the chance of transformation. Then, you’ll recognise how the growth you’ve undergone recently is essential and life-changing. If you’re creative, you can encourage those around you to better things, too. It’s Friday the 13th.

SAGITTARIUS Nov 23 — Dec 21

THESE days, with High Street retailers having a hard time, here’s a suggestion for quick shortterm profit: how about opening a pop-up stall and hiring out black cats to anyone who’s a bit wary of today’s date?

As Jupiter and Pluto link this weekend, you’re going to be blessed with it. Don’t worry about the date. It’s moving you to good fortune. It’s Friday the 13th.

MANY folk don’t like to say how they really feel because they don’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings. Others don’t want to appear to be mean-spirited. Meanwhile, some people struggle to explain what they want to say. No wonder it’s so easy to feel as if you’re surrounded by people who say what they think you want to hear.
