OSCAR CAINER

MOVING through challenging astrological processes encourages resilience. As Mercury moves backwards across the sky, it asks us to question some decisions, and creates the potential for selfdoubt. The transformative influence of Pluto ensures that we have to go through a tunnel first. But tomorrow, our brightest light, the Sun, returns to Leo, its celestial home. Soon, the tests will be over and playtime can begin.

ARIES Mar 21 - Apr 20

WHENEVER something terrible happens, and victims of a violent crime are interviewed, it’s understandable when they say they will never forgive the perpetrator of the violence. Yet it always makes me feel sad to hear those words. When we refuse to forgive, we bind ourselves to anger and unhappiness; and the person who suffers most is the person who can’t forgive. Today, the cosmos is encouraging you to let something go. This will make space for something new and delightful. Just four minutes on the phone could change your life. For your latest week-ahead forecast, call 0906 751 5601.

TAURUS Apr 21 - May 21

THE drug companies rely on people being ill. If they found a cure for every disease, the whole medical profession would be turned on its head. Prisons need criminals for a similar reason. It’s all part of the brutal and beautiful symbiosis upon which so much of our world is based. Without darkness, how could we appreciate the light? Without sadness, challenge and worries, how can we appreciate happiness, kindness and generosity? Today, something’s not quite all it seems to be. Your week-ahead forecast is jam-packed full of important news. For an in-depth guide, call 0906 751 5602.

GEMINI May 22 - June 22

IT SEEMS a long time since people walked about wearing sandwich boards with strange messages on them. I remember a man who wore one which read ‘Repent! The end of the world is nigh!’ There’s a chance, with your ruler retrograde, that you’re having to deal with someone with an equally pessimistic attitude. Rather than waste your time trying to cheer up someone who is intent on feeling miserable, put your energy into preparing for a delightful new stage of your life. There’s excitement in the skies in a week of celestial action. Find out how to maximise your luck. Call 0906 751 5603.

CANCER June 23 - July 23

THE pressure seems to be mounting. As soon as you resolve one issue, the next one is right on top of you and double the size of the last. You’ve tackled so many similar situations over the past few months that you’re something of an expert. But that doesn’t make you immune to the frustration of having so much to deal with; and it’s no wonder you feel as if you need a break. Keep holding on. Overcoming the challenges posed by the current astrological climate will bring more rewards than you imagine. Just four minutes on the phone could change your life. For your latest week-ahead forecast, call 0906 751 5604.

LEO July 24 - Aug 23

WOULD you mind just waiting before you read the rest of your forecast? In fact, I’d like you to close your eyes for a minute before you carry on. Hey! What are you doing! You’re supposed to have your eyes shut! I’m not sure if there’s any point in giving you any advice when you’re obviously not going to follow it! Let’s try again. I’m happy to tell you what a positive time you have coming up as your ruler, the Sun, prepares to enter your sign. But only if you promise to open your eyes to the gifts it brings. Your week-ahead forecast is jam-packed full of important news. For an in-depth guide, call 0906 751 5605.

VIRGO Aug 24 - Sep 23

PEOPLE say the difference between success and failure is that a successful person keeps going; despite obstacles, they refuse to give up. But is that really the formula for success? Surely that would mean anyone who’s made a success of their life is pig-headed and obstinate? Can’t we ever decide something’s not working and just walk away? Your retrograde ruler brings a reminder that rethinking, changing tack and moving on is an essential tool if you entertain aspirations. There’s excitement in the skies in a week of celestial action. Find out how to maximise your luck. Call 0906 751 5606.

LIBRA Sep 24 - Oct 23

IF YOU’RE feeling low, and want to feel better, there are a few options you can take. But some are not to be recommended. They include retail therapy and spending money we don’t have, eating too much processed food and taking potions that are designed to make us feel better, which wear off and leave us feeling worse. Often, when the thing we think will help doesn’t, we just redo it harder, and a vicious cycle begins. Today, look for a more subtle way to progress; then make that your priority. Just four minutes on the phone could change your life. For your latest weekahead forecast, call 0906 751 5607.

SCORPIO Oct 24 - Nov 22

THERE are some questions that can never be answered . . . and even if you live to 110, that won’t change. The chances are that certain doubts and ambiguities will always plague your ability to evaluate certain scenarios. Difficult situations seem to be a non-negotiable part of our world; for reasons that we can’t understand, we seem to need them in order to live fuller lives. Today, the influence of Pluto suggests that even if you can’t be sure that you’re right, you also can’t know that you’re wrong! Your week-ahead forecast is jam-packed full of important news. For an in-depth guide, call 0906 751 5608.

SAGITTARIUS Nov 23 - Dec 21

I WAS having tea with a friend recently who insisted tea tastes much better when it’s made in a pot. As far as she’s concerned, teabags are one of the world’s worst ever inventions: they have ruined the average cuppa. They can’t be much help to fortune tellers who read tea leaves either. What’s brewing in your life doesn’t need any such mysterious kinds of clairvoyance. What’s heading your way is going to be exactly your cup of tea. Make sure that you give yourself the time to enjoy it. There’s excitement in the skies in a week of celestial action. Find out how to maximise your luck. Call 0906 751 5609. CAPRICORN Dec 22 - Jan 20 IS IT POSSIBLE that, in trying to create a better world, we run the risk of making it even worse than it currently is? What if our enthusiasm overrides our common sense to such an extent that we end up doing something terrible by accident? And, if that were to happen, would the purity of our intentions mitigate our catastrophic actions? As long as you mean well, and follow your principles, whatever you do will be right. Just don’t allow anyone to pressurise you into justifying something unjustifiable. Just four minutes on the phone could change your life. For your latest week-ahead forecast, call 0906 751 5610.

AQUARIUS Jan 21 - Feb 19

TAKING a step back from a situation makes it easier to see it differently . . . it can take on a very different appearance. Similarly, we can see our bad habits and unhealthy preoccupations. This can be a very valuable thing to do. Today, if you’re able to put a little distance between you and the problem you’re facing, you can make a very useful discovery. The cosmos brings you a reality check. Here comes the chance to let go of something you thought you’d miss but would be much better without. Your week-ahead forecast is jam-packed full of important news. For an in-depth guide, call 0906 751 5611.

PISCES Feb 20 - Mar 20

YOU recognise the feeling; it’s as if you’re standing at the top of the diving board. You’ve checked beneath you and it seems that there is a large and deep enough pool of water. It looks a long way away . . . but you know how to swim — so you should be fine, right? Take a moment to think this through. Does your anxiety belie a nervous excitement? Or is it trying to tell you that something’s wrong? If it’s the latter, simply climb back down. If not, feel free to throw yourself forwards with everything you’ve got!
