OSCAR CAINER

DEAR OSCAR, I’m an honest Libran, but events have made me decide not to be 100 per cent truthful if it’s not in my best interest. I’m fed up with losing out to those who are ‘flexible’ with the truth. Your thoughts? Sue

DEAR SUE, As a Libran, I also get worked up about fairness — especially when we feel like victims of injustice! We needn’t live like saints, but the path to happiness is never malicious. Be true to your inner nature! Oscar

ARIES Mar 21 - Apr 20

THE mysterious art of alchemy was about finding a way of turning lead into gold. Yet lead itself is a wonderful metal. Since it has such malleable properties, it is very useful in the world of construction. Apart from looking good, what use, on the other hand, is gold? Yet there’s something about it which gives it the highest price tag. A small amount of it can be used to purchase an awful lot of anything else. An aspect of your past is becoming equally precious. It’s turning into golden wisdom. There’s excitement in the skies in a week of celestial action. Find out how to maximise your luck. Call 0906 751 5601.

TAURUS Apr 21 - May 21

WHAT makes you think that the cosmos owes you a favour? Have you done something to deserve a cosmic blessing? Just suppose you’ve acted in a way that has incurred the wrath of the gods . . . that would exclude you from such preferential treatment? Perhaps you think that a reprimand is more in order. Is that really the case? Which court would try you? Who is this omniscient authority? Don’t fall into the trap of thinking negative thoughts today. Especially when the world has so much to offer you. Just four minutes on the phone could change your life. For your latest week-ahead forecast, call 0906 751 5602.

GEMINI May 22 - June 22

WHEN you have no power, nothing can be your fault. Unless, of course, you have the power to decide whether or not you have any power! There are times when it seems comforting to take the place of the victim. It lets us look at a situation we don’t like and think that we’re powerless to change it.

LEO July 24 - Aug 23

ALTHOUGH it can be tempting to see ourselves as victims of circumstance, none of us is victims of our past.

VIRGO Aug 24 - Sep 23

GREAT music and literature is full of composers and authors who understood the power of a false ending. A great crescendo. The promise of resolution before, BOOM!, it all begins again, building to an even more dramatic finale. First-time readers and listeners are bamboozled. They read the clues, form and structure correctly . . . but the artist had other plans. As a similar phenomenon unfolds in your world, despite all the recent stops and starts, remember that when one door closes, another opens. Your week-ahead forecast is jam-packed full of important news. For an in-depth guide, call 0906 751 5606.

LIBRA Sep 24 - Oct 23

SOME folk seem to believe the way to win an argument is to shout louder than everyone else. Or, they just repeat what they think is best or true, refusing to listen to anyone else’s point of view. But, as a Libran, you know that there’s value in listening to every side of the story. You understand that it’s not winning arguments that counts; it’s winning hearts. If someone seems determined to involve you in their conflict today, you can rise above the trouble. Being clear and kind is your skill. Use it today. There’s excitement in the skies in a week of celestial action. Find out how to maximise your luck. Call 0906 751 5607.

SCORPIO Oct 24 - Nov 22

YOU know what to do to get your own way. The problem is knowing whether your way is the best way. When we do everything we can to fulfil our own ambitions, we risk preventing someone else from achieving theirs. In this materialistic, goal-oriented world of ours, it’s not easy to remember that people are much more important than money and possessions. The art of being able to compromise is a gift. Today, you have the power to create a sense of warmth where there could easily be resentment. Just four minutes on the phone could change your life. For your latest week-ahead forecast, call 0906 751 5608.

SAGITTARIUS Nov 23 - Dec 21

WHEN Joshua’s army blew their trumpets as they marched around the ancient city of Jericho, they set an interesting precedent. The effect was dramatic; they caused the walls to come tumbling down. The act of placing an enemy under siege has been replicated countless times since then, and protest leaders still stand outside buildings to show their displeasure. Yet the best way of getting rid of an enemy is to make them your friend. You can help someone do that today. Your week-ahead forecast is jam-packed full of important news. For an in-depth guide, call 0906 751 5609.

CAPRICORN Dec 22 - Jan 20

WE ALL need to have boundaries. We can’t just lie down like doormats and allow people to walk all over us. So, we evaluate each situation and draw up our limitations accordingly. Occasionally, though, we realise that we’ve been a little overzealous in their construction, so we decide to move them — or even demolish them entirely. Are you now saying ‘no’ to something that could be positive and enabling? Take a moment to consider that you might be looking at an opportunity in disguise. There’s excitement in the skies in a week of celestial action. Find out how to maximise your luck. Call 0906 751 5610.

AQUARIUS Jan 21 - Feb 19

PEOPLE who love reading so much that they spend their lives in books end up with an interesting view of life. It’s as if they’ve got a map, but haven’t set foot in the city. Theory is very helpful, but it needs to go hand in hand with practice. Although you enjoy researching new information, you value speaking from your own experience. Just because you’ve tried something that hasn’t worked as well as you’d wished doesn’t mean that you’ve failed. The knowledge gained will lead to success. Just four minutes on the phone could change your life. For your latest week-ahead forecast, call 0906 751 5611.

PISCES Feb 20 - Mar 20

ARE you part of the problem or part of its solution? People who say they’re the solution are almost always part of the problem. It’s this very confusion that makes them so problematic! But that doesn’t mean that no one is gifted or unique. It’s just that those who are, are usually the least likely to believe or broadcast their talents. You are kind, generous, knowledgeable and warm. And you deserve to be recognised as such. Believe in yourself and what you do today. Recognition of your gifts is on its way. Your week-ahead forecast is jam-packed full of important news. For an in-depth guide, call 0906 751 5612.
