OSCAR CAINER

Jupiter is still travelling through its home sign of Sagittarius, where it is unfettered by the need to adapt to the characteristics of a less familiar celestial home. Since Jupiter is the planet of luck, wealth and adventure, this bodes well for all. Yet the magnification of power also intensifies its current effect as the planet of fortune reverses through our skies. With the change of direction, we may find that growth slows a little. But this affords us time to ask meaningful questions. Wise choices can now be made.

ARIES Mar 21 — Apr 20

IT’S as if you’re being mesmerised by someone or something. You’re being drawn in a certain direction — almost like you’re under a spell. Just as the Greek heroes had to avoid looking into the eyes of powerful Medusa so as not to be lured to their demise, you don’t actually need to look at what you’re feeling so compelled by. As Jupiter prepares to turn retrograde, if you turn your attention to something else, you’ll be able to see why a prospect is less captivating than it appears. In a time of celestial creativity, you can transform your life. Your week-ahead forecast contains valuable news. Call 0906 751 5601.

TAURUS Apr 21 — May 21

IT WAS poet Ella Wheeler Wilcox who, back in 1883, wrote: ‘Laugh and the world laughs with you; weep and you weep alone.’ How did she arrive at such a bold statement? Did she conduct rigorous experiments? Would she have subjected people with shared characteristics to the equivalent of back-toback reruns of teary movies and a succession of clowns? The issue with ‘received wisdom’ is that we receive it too passively. You have every reason to smile today — and it will brighten up the people around you. In a time of celestial creativity, you can transform your life. Your week-ahead forecast contains valuable news. Call 0906 751 5602.

GEMINI May 22 — June 22

LIFE is full of people who seem confidently to know what to do. One of the reasons why they can hold on to their demeanour and achieve their goals is that their voices carry more authority than those of us who say that we’re ‘not too sure of the best thing to do’. Yet it’s not always safe to assume certainty equals reliability. As Jupiter prepares to turn retrograde, your doubts about a certain scenario are more valuable than you think. There will be untold benefits if you manage to voice them. In a time of celestial creativity, you can transform your life. Your week-ahead forecast contains valuable news. Call 0906 751 5603.

CANCER June 23 — July 23

AS JOHNNY Cash sang, ‘there are more questions than answers, and the more I find out, the less I know’. But surely that’s impossible. If it really is the case, then either one answer would answer many questions, or some questions would never be answered. Your world is brimming with unanswerable questions that seem to multiply whenever you turn away. You might feel bamboozled, but you’re certainly not beaten. Even if you’re not necessarily wiser by the end of today, you’ll be happier. In a time of celestial creativity, you can transform your life. Your week-ahead forecast contains valuable news.

LEO July 24 — Aug 23

THERE’S no stopping something if it really needs to happen. It doesn’t matter whether you find a way to make it occur; it’s not even necessary that you understand why it needs to happen. Today, you might as well sit back and relax because, despite your doubts, the cosmos is going to give you the tools you need so that you can take advantage of an opportunity. You have the resources to be strong and confident today. You can be patient, too. What seems impossible is most definitely not. In a time of celestial creativity, you can transform your life. Your week-ahead forecast contains valuable news. Call 0906 751 5605.

VIRGO Aug 24 — Sep 23

YOU could spend the rest of your life worrying about what you ‘should’ say. Even if you could compose the perfect monologue, spoken aloud it would sound rather unlike the picture-perfect performance by which you judge yourself. Yet suppose you could close your mind and let your heart speak? Imagine how it would feel to express yourself with clarity and honesty. You can move beyond the fear that someone might disapprove of your words. There’s far more to lose by staying silent. It’s time to find your voice. In a time of celestial creativity, you can transform your life. Your week-ahead forecast contains valuable news. Call 0906 751 5606.

LIBRA Sep 24 — Oct 23

THERE’S something about Librans that loves to be different. You don’t like it when too many people agree with you! You have even been known to abandon deeply held beliefs just because they’ve become too ‘mainstream’. Being close to the edge and non-conformist is important to you and makes you open-hearted. As Jupiter turns retrograde, make sure your appreciation of all things eccentric isn’t taking you off the road you need to be on. It would be easy to be distracted today. In a time of celestial creativity, you can transform your life. Your week-ahead forecast contains valuable news. Call 0906 751 5607.

SCORPIO Oct 24 — Nov 22

IF YOU were to listen to one of those ghastly automated phone calls telling you that you’d won something, imagine you heard that your name had been picked out of the hat and you were the winner . . . of an endless supply of problems. It sounds like a nightmare prize. Yet the truth is that our problems are prizes. Without problems and challenges, life would be a dull old game. Don’t worry about replacing an old difficulty with a new one. Rather than being a source of worry, it hides an element of joy. In a time of celestial creativity, you can transform your life. Your week-ahead forecast contains valuable news. Call 0906 751 5608.

SAGITTARIUS Nov 23 — Dec 21

AS YOUR ruler Jupiter, in your sign, prepares to begin a retrograde journey across the skies, here is an answer to your question: unless you are absolutely confident about the decision you have reached, don’t do it! If there is so much as a microscopic feeling of uncertainty or one jot of anxiousness, you are better off putting on the brakes. The chances are that you’re skilfully subjecting yourself to a well-constructed piece of self-persuasion. If you have the tiniest suspicion, listen to it. In a time of celestial creativity, you can transform your life. Your week-ahead forecast contains valuable news. Call 0906 751 5609.

CAPRICORN Dec 22 — Jan 20

THE golden rule of grocery shopping is: don’t go when you’re hungry! You’re guaranteed to come back with double the amount that you set out for. Similarly, don’t make major decisions on a few hours’ sleep. They’re bound to be inferior to those made when you’re calm, collected and well-rested. Could a profound, unrecognised need be clouding your judgment? In order to capitalise fully on the potential available to you, it’s worth setting yourself some ground rules — and sticking to them. In a time of celestial creativity, you can transform your life. Your week-ahead forecast contains valuable news. Call 0906 751 5610.

AQUARIUS Jan 21 — Feb 19

WE ALL know that aromatherapists work with scents and perfumes. They think that modern medicine has overlooked or misunderstood the importance of our senses in the healing process. They use our ability to detect and react to subtle aromas to ease aggravating physical and mental symptoms. Since your ruling planet Uranus’s link to Venus, you sense something is out of place. Rather than being distracted by a sweeter smell, trust what your senses are telling you. In a time of celestial creativity, you can transform your life. Your week-ahead forecast contains valuable news. Call 0906 751 5611.

PISCES Feb 20 — Mar 20

LIKE a cat, you always seem to fall on your feet. Sometimes, without thinking about where you’re headed, you turn up in the right place, and you get results even when you’re not thinking about what to do. Following a plan and taking control, on the other hand, tend to make you feel tense. The more you focus, the more there seems to be to focus on. Even then, things have a way of not quite turning out as they should. So, spontaneity’s the answer! All you need to do is relax and do what feels right. In a time of celestial creativity, you can transform your life. Your week-ahead forecast contains valuable news. Call 0906 751 5612.
