OSCAR CAINER

They say ‘power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely’. So with Mercury in Scorpio under the influence of controlling Pluto, about to be joined by the Sun tomorrow, the planetary puppet-master is empowered. There will be pulling of strings today. But even though we all find ourselves being manipulated, or manoeuvring others into position, sometimes it doesn’t mean that motives are always nefarious. As long as long-term consequences are being considered, positive wheels can be set in motion.

ARIES Mar 21 — Apr 20

IF YOU find yourself needing to say something difficult today, say it as kindly as possible. Imagine the taste of chocolate and use that sweetness to sugarcoat your words. Practise what you’re going to say in front of a mirror so that you can see your facial expressions. Try to put yourself in the place of the person (or people) who will be your audience. Think about the likely consequences of your suggestions and the changes that will be implemented. Then gently go ahead. It’s time for change. The Full Moon brings transformation. You can change your life. Your spookily accurate forecast is ready. Call 0906 751 5601.

TAURUS Apr 21 — May 21

IMAGINE that you’re holding a tumbler and dice. You can shake as much as you like, and wish as hard as you can, but the chances of the dice falling and showing the number you want it to show are not dependent on your ability to concentrate. No matter how hard you try, you’re never going to know what number you will throw. As the Moon grows full in your sign, you can sense the potential to make a long-awaited change. For today, you just need to be patient, keep your faith and keep shaking. Your latest Moon-sign forecast will touch your heart and lift your spirits. For four minutes of inspiration, call 0906 751 5602.

GEMINI May 22 — June 22

YOU weren’t created to suffer. The universe hasn’t forced you into a life of strife, stress and difficulty. Your purpose is to enjoy the miracle of life and your place on the planet. But the clarity of your vision has recently been obscured by concerns that seem to be drawn to you like moths to a flame. These involve less noble ideals, like fighting with an adversary and persevering through a climate of fear. Quash those now while you still can. Don’t lose sight of the goodness in our world. The Full Moon has a powerful message for you. For your spookily accurate latest Moon-sign prediction, call 0906 751 5603.

CANCER June 23 — July 23

LIFE seems to be full of worry and hardship. Everywhere we turn, there’s someone who needs help, something that’s gone wrong, or an injustice to be overcome. Sadly, there doesn’t seem to be a magic cure. We’re not going to wake up one morning with it all sorted. Even if we did, it wouldn’t last. Stop! That’s a pessimistic approach! We might not be able to alter the world but we can certainly change the way we interpret it. As the Moon grows full, a more positive perspective will work wonders. The Full Moon brings transformation. You can change your life. Your spookily accurate forecast is ready. Call 0906 751 5604.

LEO July 24 — Aug 23

IF SOMEONE is accusing you of behaving unscrupulously, you’d be able to take them more seriously if they weren’t holding their ‘book of rules’ upside down. Who knows what they’re basing their dubious judgments on? Why then, are you taking their critique so earnestly? The approaching Full Moon insists you need not apologise for something you haven’t done. Neither should you have to defend yourself unnecessarily. Stay firm in your convictions and don’t doubt yourself today. Your latest Moon-sign forecast will touch your heart and lift your spirits. For four minutes of inspiration, call 0906 751 5605.

VIRGO Aug 24 — Sep 23

I’M NOT giving you a forecast today. Instead, I need to vent about the nightmare that was my weekend. It was awful. I lost something valuable, got stuck in terrible traffic and then, to top it all, had to deal with a phone call from someone I didn’t want to talk to who wouldn’t stop talking about . . . Argh! Sorry, you’re not really interested in all that, are you? This isn’t helping either of us. The question is, are you able to censor yourself today? Block out the negatives, otherwise they’ll obscure something lovely. The Full Moon has a powerful message for you. For your spookily accurate latest Moon-sign prediction, call 0906 751 5606.

LIBRA Sep 24 — Oct 23

DOUBT makes life tricky. When we know the lie of the land, we can usually deal with any problems in a straightforward way. And that’s why we tend to create fake certainties. We’d much rather pretend to ourselves that there’s no point in continuing with a project than carry on with a false sense of hope. Yet, you can’t be certain that the situation you’re currently in is hopeless. As the Moon grows full, feel free to give your idea the benefit of the doubt. The Full Moon brings transformation. You can change your life. Your spookily accurate forecast is ready. Call 0906 751 5607.

SCORPIO Oct 24 — Nov 22

WHAT’S the very worst thing that could happen? Just imagine how much time you could spend meandering down that particular path of concern. In fact, the very worst thing is worrying itself. Whatever is concerning you has consequences, which naturally arise and need dealing with as you move from the start of this episode to the finish. You’re in that process now, as the Full Moon brings a chance to move on. Don’t allow your imagination to make things worse when they’re actually improving. Your latest Moon-sign forecast will touch your heart and lift your spirits. For four minutes of inspiration, call 0906 751 5608.

SAGITTARIUS Nov 23 — Dec 21

WHAT was Shakespeare thinking when he wrote that ‘All the world’s a stage’? With his plays being produced successfully, he must have been aware of the aura of seriousness and sense of self-importance that some actors take when they get into character. There must have been prima donnas in his day. So, it will come as a relief to know that the approaching Full Moon brings you the opportunity to defuse a drama. If you can rise to the challenge, you’ll find yourself in a starring role. The Full Moon has a powerful message for you. For your spookily accurate latest Moon-sign prediction, call 0906 751 5609.

CAPRICORN Dec 22 — Jan 20

IT IS extremely important that you continue reading this prediction all the way through to the final word. In fact, I need to start by reminding you of the ‘code of horoscope conduct’, which insists that failure to complete an astrological prediction leads to the imposition of a hefty fine. Oops. Actually, I may have got that wrong! There’s no such law of conduct. Nor is there any such force compelling you to carry on with a plan. Under the Full Moon, follow your impulses, not your sense of duty. The Full Moon brings transformation. You can change your life. Your spookily accurate forecast is ready. Call 0906 751 5610.

AQUARIUS Jan 21 — Feb 19

IN THIS post-Darwinian world, many people are astounded that we haven’t seen the end of religion. How, they ponder, can anyone believe in an omnipotent, benevolent force when there’s so much chaos and suffering? Besides, there’s no way the world could be made in six days . . . Yet, perhaps there is an inexplicable spark that can only be explained by the existence of something greater than ourselves. If we’re going to believe that, surely we must believe it with all our might. Have faith this week. Your latest Moon-sign forecast will touch your heart and lift your spirits. For four minutes of inspiration, call 0906 751 5611.

PISCES Feb 20 — Mar 20

THE force of serendipity explains those instances when, somehow, the right thing turns up at the right place at exactly the right moment. Or, perhaps it’s actually the force that enables us to notice that the right thing has shown up precisely when we need it. I don’t suppose it really matters which way we choose to explain it. We could discuss the etymology of the word for as long as we like. But what is important is that you notice the serendipitous advantages that the approaching Full Moon is highlighting. The Full Moon has a powerful message for you. For your spookily accurate latest Moon-sign prediction, call 0906 751 5612. Landline calls cost 80p a minute, plus your phone company’s access charge.
