OSCAR CAINER

PEOPLE associate Mercury Retrograde with missed emails and breakdowns of negotiation. Since it makes communication more challenging, it’s no surprise it has a PR problem! But there are many ways in which its backward journey can be positive. It’s a chance to correct mistakes and revisit deals that failed. Does that mean dealing with disappointment? Perhaps. But eventually it leads to worthwhile progress.

ARIES Mar 21 - Apr 20 THEY say ‘beauty is in the eye of the beholder’, but that’s only partially true. While few could doubt the magnificence of a Caravaggio painting, or a sunrise over the ocean, some of the most beautiful things in life aren’t visible: a loved one’s laugh, the sound of crunching through autumn leaves, or gestures of generosity. Some people exude beauty whether or not anyone’s around to acknowledge it. You are one of these people. Don’t worry about who might be criticising you. Just be you. Anxious? There’s a very special message for you when you call to hear your in-depth, week-ahead forecast. Call 0906 751 5601.

TAURUS Apr 21 - May 21 IT’S not quite so easy to be our own best friend and supporter. Especially when we don’t look after ourselves as well as we look after others. We don’t always think about the ramifications of our actions, either. Or if we do, we almost paralyse ourselves with fear. Like being caught frozen in the headlights of oncoming traffic, we stand rooted to the spot instead of taking decisive action. Think about how you’d help (or advise) someone who was facing your particular issue. Then follow your own advice! Confused? There’s a very special message for you when you call to hear your four-minute, week-ahead forecast. Call 0906 751 5602.

GEMINI May 22 - June 22 FOR hardworking people like you, the idea that someone might bury their head in the sand and ignore their obligations is contrary to how you think and act. Yet some folk believe that ignoring problems leads to a more stress-free life. Being able to set aside our burdens from time to time gives us the strength to go on shouldering them. It’s not inherently selfish to steal five minutes for yourself today. And with your ruler now retrograde, it’s time to do just that. uncertain? There’s a very special message for you when you call to hear your in-depth, week-ahead forecast. Call 0906 751 5603.

CANCER June 23 - July 23 THERE’S a reason why con artists present themselves as respectable members of the community — it’s because they’re good at their job! How are they going to swindle anyone if they look like they’re going to empty our pockets at the first chance? However, it’s one thing to be on the look-out for folk who are after our cash, but how do we protect ourselves from those who want to rob us of our sense of wellbeing? That, after all, is far more vulnerable. Trust your instincts today. If something doesn’t feel right, it isn’t. Worried? There’s a very special message for you when you call to hear your four-minute, week-ahead forecast. Call 0906 751 5604.

LEO July 24 - Aug 23 ‘IN OLDEN days, a glimpse of stocking was looked on as something shocking. But now, heaven knows, anything goes.’ Cole Porter, who wrote these lyrics, wasn’t wrong! The Victorians were a puritanical lot. When a naked table leg is thought to be suggestive, you know things have gone too far! That might be obvious today, but it took strong minds to break out of the status quo. When we’re in the midst of things, it’s not easy to find perspective. Don’t get swept along by a tide of opinion today. Anxious? There’s a very special message for you when you call to hear your in-depth, week-ahead forecast. Call 0906 751 5605.

VIRGO Aug 24 - Sep 23 EVEN the most suspense-filled TV dramas tend to put the same kind of character into the same kind of situation, time and again. On a subconscious level, the audience enjoys the familiarity. We know roughly what to expect... but we don’t know exactly how it will turn out. If the performers simply repeated a routine word for word, action for action, we’d soon find something else to watch. Someone in your world isn’t varying their theme. A change needs to occur. Try to keep attentive… and encourage them. Confused? There’s a very special message for you when you call to hear your four-minute, week-ahead forecast. Call 0906 751 5606.

LIBRA Sep 24 - Oct 23 WOULD you mind if I simply repeated what I told you yesterday? Surely things haven’t changed that much? And I’ve got lots of other forecasts to write and people to advise. I need to prioritise folk who are paying attention. With Mars in your sign, I have a strong sense that you’re not keen on doing what anyone (including me) tells you to do. So… don’t do it! In your heart, you know exactly what you need to do. My only advice is to follow your instincts. They’ll take you to where you want to be. uncertain?

SCORPIO Oct 24 - Nov 22 HUMAN beings have always been searching for the philosopher’s stone. According to legend, it holds the secret to transformation, including (famously) being able to turn lead into gold. Does this idea still inspire people? Miracles, after all, do happen. When we witness incredible things, it reminds us that the seemingly ‘impossible’ is, in fact, possible. Even these days, magical situations arise and transformations occur. Events over the next few days will restore your faith in the power of the miraculous. Worried? There’s a very special message for you when you call to hear your four-minute, week-ahead forecast. Call 0906 751 5608.

SAGITTARIUS Nov 23 - Dec 21 NOT all is quite what it seems. Some situations look good on the surface, but the more we investigate them, the more problematic they become. None of us welcomes such scenarios into our lives, yet that doesn’t stop us having to deal with them. You’ve been struggling to turn an impossible situation around while doing your best to accept something unacceptable. Now that Mercury has turned retrograde, you have a chance to rid yourself of this source of trouble. Anxious? There’s a very special message for you when you call to hear your in-depth, week-ahead forecast. Call 0906 751 5609.

CAPRICORN Dec 22 - Jan 20 WHERE are the people who know what they’re doing when you need them? Are they hiding round the corner waiting for you to find them? Storybook heroes only exist in story books. And, just as tomorrow never comes, perfection doesn’t exist. Life might look as if it’s flowing in the right direction, but just as we’re starting to enjoy ourselves, up pops a problem we’re not really equipped to deal with. If you don’t attempt it, someone else will. But they won’t make as good a job of it as you. Confused? There’s a very special message for you when you call to hear your four-minute, week-ahead forecast. Call 0906 751 5610.

AQUARIUS Jan 21 - Feb 19 SOME people work on strange things. One researcher from Japan famously questioned the qualities of water. He believed that human thoughts and intentions were able to affect its molecular structure. So, if you look lovingly at a glass of water, will it boost you with optimism when you drink it? Even though his work is disputed, no one can deny the power of positive energy. If you’re enthusiastic today, you’ll find the cosmos will respond in kind. Think loving thoughts! uncertain?

PISCES Feb 20 - Mar 20 HAVE you ever tried to do one of those logic puzzles where you have all the information you need, but it’s not in the right order? Once you really look at the clues, they fall into place relatively easily. Now consider what’s happening in your life; particularly about the thing you’re unsure of. Actually, you have the answer. It’s under your nose. It’s just that you’re looking for something that’s further away. Pay close heed to your emotions today. They hold the vital clue to finding the information you need. Worried?
