OSCAR CAINER

‘SEEING’ and ‘feeling’ are separate senses, but to really understand what’s going on, we need a variety of experiences. Today is World Braille Day, when we celebrate the tactile language system for those with visual impairments. It coincides with the heavens urging us to feel our way forwards rather than take things at face value. We can learn more by trusting our instincts. This is one of those days.

ARIES Mar 21 - Apr 20 HOW far can you walk when there’s a stone in your shoe? And anyway, where would you walk to? The shoe repairer is probably closed; so is the shop where you bought them — so you can’t go and complain about the hole that has allowed the grit to enter. And you’re obviously not going to head to the hospital so that you can have your foot checked out. Of course, this is all metaphorical. Today, the planetary forces acting on you suggest that a source of impediment can be easily fixed. For surprisingly encouraging news about your prospects in 2021, call your month-ahead forecast: 0906 751 5601.

TAURUS Apr 21 - May 21 IN DAYS gone by, we relied on experts, advisory boards, specialists and consultants. Then along came online search engines Ask Jeeves and Google. ‘Type your question’, they say, ‘we’ll answer it. Everything you could possibly wish to know is at your fingertips.’ And we tend to believe them. Unfortunately, few things are quite so simple. The knowledge you’re seeking can be found only through conversing with a real person, not a machine. A simple discussion today will demystify what the internet will only confuse. There’s hope on your horizon in 2021! To hear the news in your latest month-ahead prediction, call 0906 751 5602.

GEMINI May 22 - June 22 IN ZEN Buddhism, they say that in order to really understand something, you need to see what it appears to be. Then you need to see beyond your initial impression and focus on its relationship within the cosmos. Then, when you look again at what it appears to be, you’ll understand so much more about it that you’ll be able to exert some kind of power over it. Take a closer look at what’s daunting you or obstructing your path today. Once you see through it, you’ll be able to get past it. 2021 will be much better than you think! For news about the best way to kick-start January, call 0906 751 5603.

CANCER June 23 - July 23 FEW of us are exclusively introverted or extroverted. These qualities exist on a sliding scale. Most of us sit somewhere in the middle and have no desire for applause or overly enthusiastic appreciation. But that’s not to say that we mind being acknowledged from time to time! As we head into the new year, take a moment to stop and remember just how much appreciation you’ve earned for difficult decisions, accurately made, and the gratitude you’ve received. It’s time to demand your due. Make your dreams come true in 2021. Let January’s powerful skies lead you towards success. Call 0906 751 5604.

LEO July 24 - Aug 23 WHY bother with an argument? What’s the point in kicking up a fuss or putting up a fight? Or rising to the bait, or heeding the call to action? Why not just sit in a corner, cover your eyes and ears, and hope that all of it will go away? Well, one good reason why you can’t do any of those is that you’re not made that way. You’re a giver, not a taker. You believe in making a difference. For this, you’re to be applauded. And what if sometimes you incur some disapproval? As long as it’s safe, follow your heart today. Want to know what 2021 has in store? For inspiring news, call your latest month-ahead prediction: 0906 751 5605.

VIRGO Aug 24 - Sep 23 WE’RE not all the same. Yet that’s not to say that some of us are better or worse. One-upmanship isn’t a Virgoan characteristic. You naturally appreciate the things that make people different and special. You understand that a unique combination of qualities defines every one of us. And, irrespective of any regrets you may harbour, you have every reason to be proud of who you are, who you’ve been — and who you’re going to be. You’re about to discover why being ‘just the way you are’ is valuable. Start 2021 with optimism and hope. Don’t miss your January forecast. For inspiring news, call 0906 751 5606.

LIBRA Sep 24 - Oct 23 IF YOU want to avoid an awkward conversation, a trick is to suggest setting a time to have the discussion — that it’s so important you need a meeting just to debate the date to hold this vital talk! If you’re lucky, everyone will expend so much energy on the first debate that they’ll have nothing left to give to the awkward topic they want to discuss. Although there’s a lot of noise being made around you, nothing sensible is being said. Sometimes it’s best to stay silent than say the wrong thing. There’s good reason to be optimistic! Things can work out well in 2021. Call your month-ahead forecast: 0906 751 5607.

SCORPIO Oct 24 - Nov 22 WHEN it comes to physical exercise, the more effort we make, the more we have to keep making. Once we’ve challenged ourselves as far as we can, we have to keep on challenging ourselves in order to keep building muscles and burning calories. Is that bad news? Only if you dislike exercising! The secret is to allow yourself to enjoy it. When you’re happy with what you’re doing, you’ll be even happier when you do more of it. And, despite the challenges you face, you can be happy. The cosmos is on your side in 2021. Find out how you can benefit from the luck and fortune it brings. Call 0906 751 5608.

SAGITTARIUS Nov 23 - Dec 21 RECEIVED wisdom holds that, ‘if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it’. But I’m sceptical of such so-called ‘wise’ words. I don’t want to labour the point, but what would happen if the component in question was our decision-making mechanism? With that out of order, how would we be able to evaluate whether something needed mending or not? Of course, there’s no point in re-inventing the wheel. Yet uncertainty is evidence that, at the very least, there’s a small fissure that might need repairing. Let 2021 bring the changes you desire. For encouraging news, call your four-minute, January forecast: 0906 751 5609.

CAPRICORN Dec 22 - Jan 20 WHAT can go wrong this week? After all, there are so many hypothetically calamitous possibilities. With so much uncertainty, and all the current restrictions to deal with, it’s easy to worry. It’s much better, though, not to spiral into a cycle of anxiety (although it might prove a useful excuse for not dealing with any of the chores that need your attention). The cosmic news is encouraging. Yes, the start to the year isn’t straightforward or easy; but watch out for the glimmer of hope. It’s growing. Gain power over your future! January 2021 heralds a chance for you to transform your life. Call 0906 751 5610.

AQUARIUS Jan 21 - Feb 19 WE THINK that most criminals work under the cover of darkness. After all, it makes sense: no one notices as, dressed in black, they lug their sacks of stolen treasure about. True. But real masterminds know to operate in broad daylight, when people will least suspect them. Besides, in the dark, our imaginations run away with us; it’s easy to think anything and everything is out to get us. Don’t let a passing, unfounded worry prevent you from doing something that makes a difference today. For news to help you make 2021 the year your dreams come true, call your January forecast: 0906 751 5611.

PISCES HOW good can Feb 20 - Mar 20 things get? There will, of course, always be issues to deal with that make you wonder if the cosmos is on your side. Even people who lead ‘charmed lives’ and seem blessed with serendipitous occurrences have to deal with setbacks. Yet those who resolutely make the most of every moment and recognise opportunities, even when they are hidden in apparent adversity, manage to turn negatives into positives. Seize your chance to do just that and good luck will come your way. 2021 holds great potential for you! Get it off to a great start with your in-depth forecast for January! Call 0906 751 5612.
