OSCAR CAINER

WE’RE approaching the Solstice, a busy time in both the astrological ephemeris and the Gregorian calendar. With Mercury battling to be heard through Neptune’s confusion, it won’t be easy to think straight. Yet, as Venus moves into innovative Aquarius, our hearts will provide us with flashes of inspiration and the vision to see what’s important. We’ll be able dream up creative ways to get what we need to get done.

ARIES Mar 21 - Apr 20

ALTHOUGH most human beings are fundamentally honest, most of us can admit to telling the occasional white lie every now and then. Even though these are often designed to spare someone’s feelings or defuse tense scenarios, there’s no getting away from the fact that they are untruths. Does telling them make us terrible people? Of course not. Yet there are times when our integrity is more important than protecting other people’s feelings. You may have to put politeness to one side today. Good news! Good tidings await you in your 2020 prediction. To find out what’s in store call 0906 751 5601.

TAURUS Apr 21 - May 21

AS a lover of our four-legged friends, I’ve been wondering why you can’t ‘teach an old dog new tricks’. I can’t imagine that canines are any less able than any other creature to learn new things. Of course, we’re not dogs! We’re people! We’re able to absorb new information and instigate change accordiingly. We can develop new talents, too. As your ruler changes signs, it brings you a chance to revitalise the way you’ve been dealing with someone. It’s not a trick, but it will get great results. Give yourself the best Christmas present ever: for priceless insight and support. Call 0906 751 5602.

GEMINI May 22 - June 22

EFFICIENCY is rather a buzzword. It’s not only that we need to be organised with our time . . . from carbon emissions to recycling, we need to act with greater efficiency. But we can’t function at 100 per cent 24/7. Recently, you’ve been working flat out, yet you are still not seeing the results you need. It’s not that you don’t have what it takes to make things work; it’s that you’ve got too many plates to spin. If you take a moment to refocus today, you’ll be amazed by how much you can accomplish. Treat yourself to an early festive boost! Your 2020 prediction is ready and packed with news. Call 0906 751 5603.

CANCER June 23 - July 23

WE’RE creatures of habit. We’re quite happy to carry on doing things in the way we’ve always done them. We like walking down well-trodden paths because we know that they’re safe — and we know that they lead somewhere. Even the most adventurous Cancerians still value the merits of tried and tested formulae. The festive season is full of traditions that are so second nature, you hardly give them a thought. Yet today, if you challenge an expectation, you’ll find a better way to celebrate. Good news! Good tidings await you in your 2020 prediction. To find out what’s in store call 0906 751 5604.

LEO July 24 - Aug 23

YOU were born to lead. After all, you’re a Leo! Your ability to inspire loyalty is unparalleled. What’s more, the only person surprised by this ability is . . . you! Behind the facade, you’re full of insecurities, fears and doubts. You’re as happy to follow the crowd as to lead it. Yet the quiet strength and charisma that positively beams from you will prove an invaluable asset in the approach to Christmas. Bring your wisdom to the negotiating table and you’ll be able to achieve almost anything you want. Give yourself the best Christmas present ever: for priceless insight and support. Call 0906 751 5605.

VIRGO Aug 24 - Sep 23

‘ATTACK’, they say, ‘is the best form of defence’. In some situations, that’s true. In others, it’s the worst idea imaginable. When you can barely defend what you’ve already got, why would you want to defend any more? I don’t want to be radical but, sometimes, the best form of defence . . . is defence! So, pull up the drawbridge, mend any holes in your psychological shield and do everything you can to keep stress at bay. You have an exciting chance now to eradicate an insecurity. Make the most of it!

LIBRA Sep 24 - Oct 23

ANY project will have moments when it stalls . . . and the problems aren’t always simple to spot or easy to fix. When they’re electronic or mechanical, we can call an expert who will, we hope, sort things out for us. But, when it comes to relationship issues, things get more complicated. You’ve been confused recently by the way a key person has been behaving. They seem to be making things difficult. As your ruler changes signs, new understanding will follow. It will be easy to sort this out. Good news! Good tidings await you in your 2020 prediction. To find out what’s in store call 0906 751 5607.

SCORPIO Oct 24 - Nov 22

THESE days, when we can send a message to anyone in the world in the blink of an eye, it’s hard to imagine the challenges once involved in sending smoke signals. Just think of the concentration and effort it would have taken. But, when it comes to misunderstanding the content, things probably haven’t changed much at all! At this time of the year, when there are so many demands on your time and energy, there’s a lot to be gained by paying close attention to what someone is saying to you today. Give yourself the best Christmas present ever: for priceless insight and support. Call 0906 751 5608.

SAGITTARIUS Nov 23 - Dec 21

OH, the benefit of hindsight! If only we knew then what we know today, wouldn’t things be so much easier? If we could simply nip back, and warn our former selves, we might be able to avoid making any more ‘mistakes’. Yet often, the best we can do is to make assumptions based on guesswork. Will you look back on the decisions you’re making now with a sense of disbelief? Maybe! But in one key area of your life, you can be totally confident about being sure of what you’re so sure about. Treat yourself to an early festive boost! Your 2020 prediction is ready and packed with news. Call 0906 751 5609.

CAPRICORN Dec 22 - Jan 20

VICTOR or victim? Hero or villain? Even though we try to be non-judgmental, we tend to create very simple narratives about our own behaviour. When we do something well, we get overexcited; and when we make a mistake, we crumple up in a corner and hide ourselves away. It’s not even that we’re any good at self-assessment. You’re being unnecessarily harsh on yourself about what you perceive to be an error of judgment. Yet, as you’re about to discover, you’ve done nothing wrong.

Good news! Good tidings await you in your 2020 prediction. To find out what’s in store call: 0906 751 5610.

AQUARIUS Jan 21 - Feb 19

THEY say that ‘everything happens for a reason’. It’s just that when you’re unable to see the reason for something, it’s almost impossible to believe the reason exists. You’re fairly confident that you’ve been negotiating your way along the best possible path through the festive season. As Venus moves into your sign this weekend, it brings confirmation your instinctive understanding is spot on. Though you don’t know why you’re doing what you’re doing, you’re absolutely doing the right thing. Give yourself the best Christmas present ever: for priceless insight and support. Call 0906 751 5611.

PISCES Feb 20 - Mar 20

LEGEND has it that as Admiral Nelson lay mortally wounded on HMS Victory, (having just won that critical battle against the combined French and Spanish navies), he asked his right-hand man, Captain Hardy, to kiss him. It must have taken much courage for such a prominent and public figure to display his vulnerability. As a sensitive Piscean, you intuitively understand the value of expressing your feelings. As we approach Christmas, your willingness to share your vulnerability will be a gift to those who find it hard to say how they feel. Treat yourself to an early festive boost!
