OSCAR CAINER

SATURN, the cosmic teacher, can be a bit of a roadblock at the best of times. This week, as it slows to a standstill, it creates a much-needed pause. This is bound to be unsettling, especially since energetic Mars has been so active this weekend. But, as long as frustrations are managed, these times of reflection will lead to new understanding. So, instead of butting our heads against walls, we can productively redirect our energies.

ARIES Mar 21 - Apr 20 WHEN things are going well, it’s easy to forget to be thankful for our amazing planet and the lives that we lead. People seem more likely to turn their thoughts towards the infinite creative lifeforce in times of trouble or concern. It’s when things are tough that we want to feel more connected to the divine. No matter what you believe, as events unfold this week your faith in the existence of a master plan is gathering momentum. Your ruler’s activity has created a wave of reality-based hopefulness.

TAURUS Apr 21 - May 21 THEY say that ‘there’s no smoke without fire’, yet working with liquid nitrogen certainly disproves that theory! Things are seldom what they seem. Not that we ever notice. We’re so ready to see what we want to see that our mind plays tricks on us: through our imagination, we see things that will never unfold in our reality. We might think that breaking the rules makes us dangerous, radical and original. But that’s what every revolutionary believes. If you’re going to break the rules today, make it big! May is positively charged with astrological promise. For your inspiring guide to the month ahead, call 0906 751 5602.

GEMINI May 22 - June 22 ALTHOUGH our day-today attitude to life might not be the be all and end all of everything, it counts for a lot. As Saturn, the cosmic teacher, slows down, it brings strong feelings to the fore. These have been quietly shaping your approach to a problem and have exaggerated an irritation. Rather than growing ever more impatient, try to focus on other matters. Sometimes, passion leads us up the wrong path. The truth is that you don’t need to care as much as you do. Don’t rush into a decision today. Your in-depth May monthly forecast could be one of the most rewarding calls you ever make. Call 0906 751 5603.

CANCER June 23 - July 23 WHY is it easier to say ‘yes’ than ‘no’? It takes some people years to be able to wield this single syllable with confidence. Other people so dread hearing it that they never risk asking a question that might provoke a negative reply. An impasse, somewhere in your world, is being reinforced by resentment. Although you can’t resolve this in a single day, if you’re ready to look at an issue from your past you’ll soon be taking leaps, not strides. Saying ‘yes’ can be scary, too, but you’ll soon have plenty of reasons to do so. To find out how to make May a magical month, call your LATEsT in-depth, four-minute forecast now: 0906 751 5604.

LEO July 24 - Aug 23 REMEMBER that expression ‘you can’t teach an old dog new tricks’? In our politically correct world, it’s probably less popular because it sounds ageist and ‘dogist’! In truth, it’s unlikely that anyone has ever scientifically researched the speed with which dogs of various ages can learn to do tricks. Even if they have, the fault could lie with the trainer, rather than our four-legged friends. Since you’re neither a dog nor unable to learn new things, you can easily rise to today’s challenge. May is positively charged with astrological promise. For your inspiring guide to the month ahead, call 0906 751 5605.

VIRGO Aug 24 - Sep 23 CHOICES are rarely easy. This week, you’re facing one that can only be approached from an unusual angle. You can base your decision on your material concerns, or you can follow your idealistic hopes. As Saturn slows on its celestial journey, it makes it difficult to find a compromise between these two extremes. Try to focus on what you believe you want to happen, and then sit with that choice before taking action. You’ll know whether you’ve made the right decision by how it makes you feel in your heart. Your in-depth May monthly forecast could be one of the most rewarding calls you ever make. Call 0906 751 5606.

LIBRA Sep 24 - Oct 23 ADVERTISERS are monitored to prevent them making wild claims about their products. That doesn’t mean that we’re not going to be disappointed by our purchases, though. Some things just aren’t as good/exciting/efficient as we’ve been led to believe. Whatever is provoking a big reaction from you right now, it’s not going to have as great an impact on your life as you think. If you dig below the surface, you’ll realise that what’s really going on is less problematic than it appears to be.

SCORPIO SHALL we Oct 24 - Nov 22 take a look at the ever-growing list of things that you are scared to do, or that you feel incapable of completing? Or would you prefer to focus on the myriad hopes, dreams and possibilities that are available to you? It seems like an easy answer. But, sometimes, we need to look at the more difficult issues. They don’t go away when we bury our heads in the sand. They stick around, becoming more frustrating and more permanent. You can either dwell on obstructions, or make the most of what is good. May is positively charged with astrological promise. For your inspiring guide to the month ahead, call 0906 751 5608.

SAGITTARIUS WHILE Nov 23 - Dec 21 it’d be possible to tame a lion, you would never be able fully to relax in its presence. A lion will always be a lion. And so it is with destiny . . . it’s impossible to control. It could be that a part of your destiny is to let you feel as if you have some control over it. Yet, like the lion, it will always be able to surprise you. Don’t waste your energy trying to control the uncontrollable. There’s plenty of time to back away gracefully from a battle that you’re never going to win. Your in-depth May monthly forecast could be one of the most rewarding calls you ever make. Call 0906 751 5609.

CAPRICORN Dec 22 - Jan 20 SAY hello to a new vision of the world. As your ruler slows down to a standstill in the sky, it is underlining the ending of a cycle. And, when one thing ends, something else begins. You’ve already made some big decisions and begun to implement a change or two. Now, you should start to see that a significant relationship is showing signs it will support you in a new approach to a tired situation. Rather than mourning the passing of the old, celebrate the start of something brand-new. To find out how to make May a magical month, call your LATEsT in-depth, four-minute forecast now: 0906 751 5610.

AQUARIUS Jan 21 - Feb 19 WE ALL know the truth of the saying ‘time waits for no man’, however we often forget that the reverse is also true. We tend to rush around, rarely waiting for time to take its course. We find it hard to trust in the natural unfolding of things, and try to stay in control, grabbing on to the steering wheel of life without being able to see where we’re supposed to be heading. Although you’re feeling under intense pressure to react to a provocation, you would be wise to take your time before responding. May is positively charged with astrological promise. For your inspiring guide to the month ahead, call 0906 751 5611.

PISCES HOW dull Feb 20 - Mar 20 would it be if, instead of seven billion-plus people in this world, there were only seven? We would be fed up with each other by lunchtime! But would the experience make us more or less inclined to feel lonely? Since we tend to have the biggest bust-ups with the people who mean the most to us, perhaps it would make little difference. Tricky relationships are part of being human. Yet that doesn’t diminish the ones that are truly inspirational. Hold on to that sense of hope today. Your in-depth May monthly forecast could be one of the most rewarding calls you ever make. Call 0906 751 5612.
