OSCAR CAINER

TEXTBOOKS tell us that Libra is all about diplomacy and harmony, but, as a Libran, I know that any decorum slips if unfairness is encountered — especially when we believe we’re missing out! As Mars enters Libra today, we may all find ourselves subject to righteous indignation. We might need to take action to ensure that situations become more even-handed. On this International Day of Democracy, it’s time to make actions count.

ARIES Mar 21 - Apr 20 IT’S amazing what you can achieve when you try. Although you know this, you’re still prone to self-doubt. That’s why you’re wondering whether you’re going to meet a target you’ve set yourself. You’re worried something will go wrong. With your ruler, Mars, entering a new sector of the sky, this isn’t the time to give up on a dream. You have to pursue it, regardless of what happens. Just remember what you’ve accomplished in the past. There’s a way to make progress that you haven’t thought of… yet. What’s the best way to move forward and ensure success? Call your four-minute weekly forecast: 0906 751 5601.

TAURUS Apr 21 - May 21 IT GOES without saying that we should do our best to be considerate to the people we’re obliged to interact with. We have to put ourselves into their shoes, and imagine how we’d feel if someone spoke to us as we feel inclined to speak to them. So far, so obvious. You don’t need me to tell you this… except, that is, if you happen to find yourself in a situation in which the high levels of stress obscure what’s normally blindingly clear. Be as gentle and courteous with everyone (including yourself) as you can be today. There’s no need to worry. All you need is some guidance. Your week-ahead forecast can help. Call 0906 751 5602.

GEMINI May 22 - June 22 WHY would you ever turn down an offer that looks as if it’s worth accepting? Well, you might if the person recommending it was someone you didn’t trust, or if you have reason to think an even better offer lies on your horizon, or if you suspect there are hidden strings attached. Instinct and intellect are very different qualities. Although there may be convincing reasons for you to accept what someone’s saying, if something within you has its doubts, those doubts deserve to be listened to. What does your heart desire and how can you achieve what you really want? Call your weekly forecast: 0906 751 5603.

CANCER June 23 - July 23 IN AN ideal world we’d be open-minded all the time. But wouldn’t that make it hard to reach a decision and make things happen? We’d all be wandering around with eyes like saucers in constant amazement. Experience teaches us to exert our will. Yet this tends to make us discontent. We’re briefly happy when we get what we’ve been trying to get, but are frustrated if it remains out of reach. Our minds are now closed to the idea that it’s OK just to feel OK! You don’t have to reach a decision today. Curious to know more? There’s valuable news in your latest, in-depth, four-minute forecast. Call 0906 751 5604.

LEO July 24 - Aug 23 IT’S interesting how people who’d never think of strutting around wearing cheap bead necklaces as if they were items of priceless jewellery happily share their opinions, no matter how ill-thoughtthrough. They voice them as if they were pearls from the oyster of understanding that dwells in the sea of wisdom. Someone you are dealing with is talking rubbish. However, they sound as though they know what they’re talking about. Pay close attention today. You’ll soon know who’s worth listening to. Success is about attitude and timing. Your four-minute forecast shows the way to positive change. Call 0906 751 5605.

VIRGO Aug 24 - Sep 23 THE problem with ‘playing to our strengths’ is it implies we’re better off avoiding our weaknesses. Yet it’s not always easy to differentiate between the two. And, even if we do correctly identify our weak points, isn’t it better to try to turn them into strengths? Life would be very dull if we just kept on trundling along the same old tracks. And it’s through courageously facing up to challenges that we move out of our comfort zones and discover new roads to run down. You can face (and deal with) a fear today. You’ve got lots to look forward to. The inspiration you need is in your four-minute forecast. Call 0906 751 5606.

LIBRA Sep 24 - Oct 23 ONE moment we’re baffled, scratching our heads and feeling bewildered. The next, a light bulb goes on in the back of our minds and we know what to do. The path towards a ‘eureka’ moment is often tortuous. Since the hairpin twists and turns on the road to wisdom cause us to double back on ourselves, we often feel as if we’re not making progress. We start to wonder whether we’re actually getting anywhere, just when we’re about to arrive. As dynamic Mars enters your sign, that’s exactly the point you’ve reached. Knowledge is power. Find out how to take full advantage of your astrological assets. Call 0906 751 5607.

SCORPIO Oct 24 - Nov 22 HOW busy are you today? How many meetings are scheduled? Have you forgotten any Zoom calls? Or remembered to pay off your credit card? And what about your online shopping? I understand — I really do. You’re busy. But I just need to ask one question: how enthused and focused are you on the tasks ahead? Perhaps the only thing that’s more important than the quantity of work is your commitment to it. And for that you need priorities. If you focus on what really matters, you’ll be empowered and efficient. What’s in the sky for you? Helpful planetary alignments! For good news, call your in-depth forecast: 0906 751 5608.

SAGITTARIUS Nov 23 - Dec 21 I THOUGHT I might find you like this, berating yourself for being unable to finish this task or that, and worried you might be letting other people down. Will anyone ever trust you again? Of course! Actually, they can see just how much you’ve taken on. They know (possibly better than you do) how overstretched you are. They also know one person can only achieve so much. As Mars, the power planet, changes signs, it’s time to stop being hard on yourself. Just keep taking baby steps. You’ve got this. Make the most of your opportunities. Your latest, in-depth forecast has inspiring news. Call 0906 751 5609.

CAPRICORN Dec 22 - Jan 20 ‘DEAR Oscar, I need to know whether my astrological outlook is positive or negative. Thanks (from an anxious reader).’ Dear Anxious Reader, Positive and negative are strange concepts. Sometimes, things that seem to be heading in the ‘wrong’ direction turn out to be leading to treasure. And sometimes, situations that look perfect turn out to be problematic. Life isn’t straightforward. As Mars changes signs, the situation is neither positive nor negative. It’s just empowering. Transform your life! To move forwards in a positive direction, there’s good news when you call 0906 751 5610.

AQUARIUS Jan 21 - Feb 19 THE scientific community now broadly agrees that the universe was created 13.8 billion years ago in what’s known as ‘the Big Bang’. But this can never be more than speculative theory, based on the evidence available to us. There is no witness to corroborate, and no written record. The best we can hope to do is to work with the information we have. History’s full of theories that were later proved to be inaccurate. Be gentle if you find yourself disagreeing with someone’s ideas today. For advice to guide you through the twists and turns ahead, call your four-minute forecast: 0906 751 5611.

PISCES Feb 20 - Mar 20 THERE’S nothing wrong with having expensive tastes as long as you have the means to indulge them. Yet if our likes and dislikes inspire us to make unwise decisions, they create problems. Even though a little of what we fancy does us good, a lot can be detrimental. The problem is that we don’t always find it easy to resist overindulging. Something in your life is proving to be almost irresistible. You’re not sure whether you should try to summon your reserves and back away. As Mars changes signs, strength and clarity are on offer. How can you stay focused and happy? Your weekly forecast holds the advice you need. Call 0906 751 5612.
