OSCAR CAINER

DEAR OSCAR, Can I discover the perfect partner, according to my chart? I was born on January 17, at 11.30am. Which zodiac sign, date and time are best matched to my own? JOANNE

HI JOANNE, You pre-suppose there is a perfect partner. All relationships require compromise. Links between charts may suggest more harmony, but looking for love via the calendar is letting the tail wag the dog! OSCAR

ARIES Mar 21 - Apr 20

IT’S easy to look back at our past decisions with some disbelief. How could we have ever felt so strongly about a certain fashion trend? Or a pop star? It’s hard to remember why we ever wore that particular outfit, or decorated our bedroom walls with those particular pictures! Just because many fashion items come back in vogue doesn’t make it OK to buy something just because everyone else thinks it’s OK. Your most important choice today needs to be based on timeless principles. October will be an exciting month. Take advantage of the exciting cosmic climate. Call 0906 751 5601.

TAURUS Apr 21 - May 21

THEY tell us that the truth will set us free. And although there’s no succinct little phrase to describe lies, we know that they form webs of deceit which create fear and deception. But what about white lies? Or half-truths? Or the subtle ways we gently manipulate information in order to protect ourselves — and other people — from the harshness of the truth? Following your ruler’s link to Pluto, you’re in a situation where you can be delicate with the truth. This will benefit others as well as you. A new month! An exciting astrological picture. A forecast that could transform your life! Call 0906 751 5602.

GEMINI May 22 - June 22

WHAT am I concealing in my left hand? No, of course you can’t really guess. But have a go! So, would you like to exchange it for what you’re holding? Let me just be clear: neither of us has any clue what the other has — even my powers of premonition don’t stretch that far! For all I know, you could be holding nothing at all. When the stakes are high, this kind of risky game is certainly best avoided. How high are they today? Before you take a leap, consider what you stand to lose. October is due to be amazing! For four-minutes of news that could change your life, pick up the phone! Call 0906 751 5603.

CANCER June 23 - July 23

IN THE world of Mr Men, imagine a scenario where Mr Rock and Mr Hardplace meet Mr Push and Mr Shove. It would be a very odd gathering; very hard for anyone to socialise with them without finding themselves being uncomfortably squeezed or pushed around. You’re finding life intense enough without the introduction of these characters. Today brings the chance to find a welcome moment of light-heartedness and social interaction. A new character in your life story has the solution you need. For encouraging news about what October holds for you, call your month ahead forecast: 0906 751 5604.

LEO July 24 - Aug 23

DO YOU need to do things by the book? Or can you go off-script and make things up as you go along? You’re welcome to do the latter, but it’s worth bearing in mind that ‘the book’ has already been written by people who love rules and regulations. They like nothing more than following them and watching to make sure that everyone else is doing the same. Yet these people need no encouragement; and you have an adventure on offer. Don’t waste any time worrying — set your sails and go! There’s so much to tell you about October, and you’re going to like it! Do yourself a favour. Call 0906 751 5605.

VIRGO Aug 24 - Sep 23

THERE’S no such thing as impartiality. In fact, regardless of how hard we all try to be fair and enlightened by the insight that only true balance can bring to us, we become anxious when personal issues are at stake. How can we bite our tongue and be objective about an issue that affects our loved ones, or even our core beliefs? But some points of principle are really worth fighting for. The simple act of aspiring to a higher consciousness will bring you a lot closer to an ideal than you ever thought was possible. Make your dreams come true in October! Call your four-minute, in-depth forecast: 0906 751 5606.

LIBRA Sep 24 - Oct 23

THERE will soon be more cars than people. The roads aren’t big enough to hold them all. Yet, if we followed the most logical (but ecologically unfriendly) solution, people would look at the new, free-flowing ‘smart’ highways and decide to drive rather than take public transport. Too often, the obvious answer is not the right one; the longer we work with it, the more knotty conundrums are revealed. Fortunately, you’re about to make a highly intelligent, innovative breakthrough. Even if you don’t usually call your in-depth phone forecast, there’s excellent news in your October prediction. Call 0906 751 5607.

SCORPIO Oct 24 - Nov 22

EVERY human being has issues which keep them awake at night. We all have things we’d rather not think about, let alone talk about. We feel uncomfortable when we find ourselves in the company of anyone who brings these topics into a discussion. Rather than being drawn into potential conflict, we tend to maintain a discreet silence whenever such subjects are raised. You may need to tiptoe around some difficult territory today. But the cosmos is supportive. You can speak your mind. October holds great potential for positive change. Find out how to make this a month to remember. Call 0906 751 5608.

SAGITTARIUS Nov 23 - Dec 21

WE TALK about there being an exception to every rule. Yet that statement is itself a rule. So if there’s an exception to that rule, there must be a rule that says there are some rules which have no exceptions. Confused? Me too! I’m simply trying to show you that it’s worth taking some time to have a closer look at a situation that doesn’t seem to make any sense. If you permit yourself to look at it from a different perspective, other people might get confused, but you’ll find the answer. Welcome to October! Your powerful prediction for the month is ready. For inspiring insight, call 0906 751 5609.

CAPRICORN Dec 22 - Jan 20

WE ALL know what we mean when we talk about a window of opportunity opening before us. But why do we choose a window? Why don’t we use a door? Perhaps it’s because we’re used to walking through doors; there are fewer access issues. Whereas a window is usually smaller and we’d need to stand on something to get up to it and then contort ourselves to get through it. There’s an element of risk attached. Yet doesn’t that describe opportunities, too! Watch out for one today. Your in-depth, latest October forecast could be one of the most rewarding calls you ever make. Call 0906 751 5610.

AQUARIUS Jan 21 - Feb 19

WE’RE all better than we think at the art of small talk. How many times a day do we ask someone how they are, only to hear: ‘Fine, thanks. How are you?’ We endlessly repeat the same rigmarole. The truth is we’re simply being polite. But isn’t that rude? Perhaps our social structures are founded on nothing more than good manners? Why don’t you ask how someone really is today? They’re ready, and even hoping, to talk to you. A listening ear can make more difference than we know. It’s October! For uplifting news on how the month holds exciting opportunities for you, call 0906 751 5611.

PISCES Feb 20 - Mar 20

WE TEND to think of a realisation as being a moment of sudden enlightenment. It’s true that can happen. More commonly, though, it’s a slower process. An idea occurs to us and pieces begin to fall into shape. Comprehension dawns slowly; bringing excitement as we realise the potential impact on our lives. From here, it’s a process of transformation, which can also be slow, taking months or even years to occur. Fortunately, what’s transforming in your life is happening right now. To hear valuable information about the changes you can implement in October, call your month ahead forecast: 0906 751 5612.
