OSCAR CAINER

GROWTH isn’t always easy. Is it easy for a caterpillar to emerge from its chrysalis? To fulfil our potential, we have to let go of ideas that hold us back. Following Jupiter and Pluto’s uneasy relationship this weekend, the cosmos calls us to look at anything preventing progress. We’re all capable of unconscious self-sabotage . . . and self-scrutiny isn’t easy. But it can help us liberate ourselves from tired ways of being . . . and fly.

ARIES Mar 21 - Apr 20

FOLLOW the crowd, but don’t end up where everyone else is headed. Dive into the swimming pool, but don’t get wet. Be honest, but don’t get yourself into trouble. Some things are easier said than done. And some things are better left undone, even if they’re easy. A challenge worth responding to will keep re-appearing until there’s no option other than to deal with it. But when an easy option makes itself obvious today, don’t be so caught up trying to stay trouble-free that you don’t take advantage of it. Knowledge is power. Find out how to take full advantage of your astrological assets. Call 0906 751 5601.

TAURUS Apr 21 - May 21

AS WITH all the old stories, there’s a moral to the fairytale about the elves and the shoemaker. Sometimes, when we’re not looking, the celestial helpers jump in to assist us; when, no matter how miserable the day appears to be, fortune steps in to bring us something to smile about. There’s no way of predicting that this is going to happen; we can’t write it into our diaries or our contingency plans. But with Venus, your ruler, settling into a new sign, it seems that an ethereal force is reaching out to supply support. What’s in the sky for you? Helpful planetary alignments! For good news, call your in-depth forecast: 0906 751 5602.

GEMINI May 22 - June 22

GOOD things aren’t always easy to get. Rewarding outcomes can be difficult to attain. Yet, even when we’re struggling, we know when we’re doing the right things for the right reasons; every so often, something falls into place and provides reassurance. Following the weekend’s challenging astrological picture, a piece of the jigsaw you’re working on will appear. You might not be able to finish the puzzle. But it will enable you to see enough of the picture to know what needs to be focused on next. Make the most of your opportunities. Your latest, in-depth forecast has inspiring news. Call 0906 751 5603.

CANCER June 23 - July 23

HARMONY is calm, pleasant and . . . well . . . a little boring. While we enjoy life’s lulls, they don’t hold our interest; they provide brief periods of respite from the busyness. So, we find ourselves stretching the time in between them further and further apart; piling on more and more things to do. And that’s fine. For a time. Yet recent events have left you feeling run down. You’re in need of a break. Although rest might feel like a luxury you can ill-afford, it’s worth its weight in gold. It’s important to find time for yourself today. Transform your life! To move forwards in a positive direction, there’s good news when you call 0906 751 5604.

LEO July 24 - Aug 23

WHEN we talk about messages ‘getting lost in translation’, we seldom mean between our past and present selves. Yet that’s the situation you find yourself dealing with today. Although it seems like someone’s barking up the wrong tree, is there a chance you’ve miscommunicated something, or misremembered? You thought everything was clear, but, looking back, a ridiculous situation might not be so peculiar after all. Don’t allow a simple mistake to overshadow what could lead to a fruitful collaboration. For advice to guide you through the twists and turns ahead, call your four-minute forecast: 0906 751 5605.

VIRGO Aug 24 - Sep 23

HOW badly do you need to do what you’re currently trying to do? Are you just going through the motions, or answering a deep calling? With dynamic Mars coming to the end of its time in your sign, there’s much you can still accomplish. You can tie off some ends and finish off some of the tasks you’ve set yourself. The question is, though, will you end up with something you really need, or simply something you think you need? It’s because you’re capable of so much that you need to think so hard about what’s worth getting. How can you stay focused and happy? Your weekly forecast holds the advice you need. Call 0906 751 5606.

LIBRA Sep 24 - Oct 23

SINCE they tell us that ‘a friend in need is a friend indeed’, when that friend is in need of a good deed, it must be doubly true. In your life now, somebody’s going out of their way to do you a favour. If you’re unaware of this, it’s because they’re working behind the scenes. Or maybe, you have friends in high places. As your ruler settles into a new sign, your guardian angel is pulling the strings on your behalf. Even though you might be feeling as if you’re struggling with an impossible situation, help is on its way. What’s the best way to move forward and ensure success? Call your four-minute weekly forecast: 0906 751 5607.

SCORPIO Oct 24 - Nov 22

WITH Venus, the planet of love in your sign, you’re beginning to feel more relaxed about some of the issues that have been making you feel ill-at-ease. You’re more able to focus on finding solutions and easier options. You’re starting to ignore the complexities that surround a difficult situation; like insects drawn towards a fruit bowl, they need to be chased away, not encouraged. One thing in your life is sweet and simple. Trust that and dare to dream. It’s time to allow yourself to pursue some of your brightest hopes. There’s no need to worry. All you need is some guidance. Your week-ahead forecast can help. Call 0906 751 5608.

SAGITTARIUS Nov 23 - Dec 21

THE Grand Old Duke of York might well have had ten thousand men but marching them up and down hills didn’t get him very far. Like many of those old songs, the origins of this story have been long debated. York isn’t especially hilly; and, since it’s not a highly populated area, it’s hard to imagine where those soldiers came from. Yet, in leading his troops up and down, the duke set a good, lasting example. You’re not obliged to ‘get anywhere’. Feel free to change your mind today. What does your heart desire and how can you achieve what you really want? Call your weekly forecast: 0906 751 5609.

CAPRICORN Dec 22 - Jan 20

‘JUSTICE should not only be done, but it should be seen to be done’. Reading these words of wisdom, we might expect them to have been uttered by one of the great Ancient Greek philosophers. Yet they were spoken by a British judge in 1924. As a Capricorn, (like the person who said these words), you have a gravitas that commands respect, and a wisdom that belies your years. Trust your sense of right and wrong today. And don’t be afraid to voice the truth. You can make a real, lasting difference. Curious to know more? There’s valuable news in your latest, in-depth, four-minute forecast. Call 0906 751 5610.

AQUARIUS Jan 21 - Feb 19

WHY bother to follow your own advice? Why listen to a word you say? Can’t you safely assume that there’s someone else with more insight and ability than you? Let’s stop there. We’ve gone way too far into this prediction following an argument that’s meant to illustrate the unusual level of self-doubt you’re suffering from. We don’t want to cement it. Although you’re uncertain about a recent judgment, you have every reason to trust yourself. Do that, and others will trust in it too. Success is about attitude and timing. Your four-minute forecast shows the way to positive change. Call 0906 751 5611.

PISCES Feb 20 - Mar 20

TO THRIVE in our world, we’re under pressure to look a certain way. We’re expected to wear the ‘right’ clothes to suit specific situations and have appropriate haircuts. Even our choice of fragrance reflects the image we send out. But why did it come to be this way? How did we become so susceptible to media pressure? Today, you don’t need to worry about what other people think of you. Those who stand out for the right reasons do things their own way. Just be you. You’re more than enough, just as you are. You’ve got lots to look forward to. The inspiration you need is in your four-minute forecast. Call 0906 751 5612.
