OSCAR CAINER

I GREW up in a vegetarian household so we rarely had a traditional Sunday lunch. It wasn’t until I married a Sheffielder that I learnt the delights of Yorkshire Pudding! Meat was never in my diet. Yet, once I found ‘pud’ I regretted the lack of opportunities I’d had to indulge in it. As Venus links with newly direct Saturn, we’re reminded that conventions don’t have to be restrictive. Today, look out for hidden pleasures.

ARIES Mar 21 - Apr 20 WHAT does having faith involve? Do people have to leave reason at the door and just dive in? Yet, some folk don’t experience it like this. Maybe that’s because they have faith in their own faith. They know that a sensitive heart and a logical brain are by no means mutually exclusive, and that rare, transcendent moments are born from a precious unity between the two. You may not be looking for a psychological breakthrough today. But if your heart and mind unite, a ‘eureka’ moment awaits. Ease your troubles. Solve your problems.

TAURUS Apr 21 - May 21 OFTEN, just when things are beginning to go really well, new problems appear, or old ones rear up to bite us. Complications and challenges are a bit like flies; they’re drawn to things that smell sweet. Today, you need to picture your biggest obstacle (or stumbling block) as if it’s an irritating insect. No matter how annoyingly persistent it is, it won’t do you any harm. Just make sure you don’t overreact. As long as you stay calm, the link between your ruler, Venus, and Saturn indicates any issues can be easily dealt with. Worried? There’s a special message for you when you call your four-minute, week-ahead forecast. Call 0906 751 5602.

GEMINI May 22 - June 22 HAVE you ever been walking down a busy road and seen someone, in the distance, who you recognise? You’re about to wave when you realise you don’t know them at all. It wasn’t who you thought it was; it’s just that there was something about them that reminded you of someone from your past. An association was triggered, which sparked an imaginative assumption. It’s likely you’re reacting to a situation because it seems similar to a previous experience. Yet, not only is it different . . . it’s good. Need some support? What’s the best way to move forward and plan for the future? Call your forecast: 0906 751 5603.

CANCER June 23 - July 23 GENEROSITY is key today. Which is lucky, because you can afford to be big-hearted. You may not be wealthy, but you can be generous with your emotions. You’re a Cancerian. You’ve got enough compassion going spare to be tolerant, patient and supportive. Even if you’re nearing the end of your tether, you’ll find that it has more flexibility than you think. It won’t break, even if it’s stretched. And the more freedom you reach for, the more you’ll get. Be your kindest, most sensitive self today. The rewards will be generous. Unsure about the direction you’re heading in and what to do for the best? There’s valuable advice. Call 0906 751 5604.

LEO July 24 - Aug 23 SKILFUL sales people rely on psychological tricks to encourage people to part with their cash. One involves introducing a wavering consumer to someone who’s delighted with what they’ve purchased; witnessing their pleasure turns doubts into desire. And if the seller offers a discount, which is only available if the buyer commits right now, the deal’s sealed. Might you be playing similar tricks on yourself? If you want something today, don’t hesitate. You don’t need to convince anyone. That includes you! Ease your troubles. Solve your problems. Your latest forecast contains helpful information. Call 0906 751 5605.

VIRGO Aug 24 - Sep 23 WITHOUT trust, we don’t have anything. Yet if there’s too much trust, we might not have anything either — it just takes longer to realise it. Although you need to be careful about where (and in whom) you place your trust, you also have to be careful not to be too careful! It’s easy to talk ourselves out of a commitment. Every promise is flawed. And everyone has a gullible side. But it’s better to trust too much rather than put up barriers that keep hope away. As Venus links with Saturn, trust your instincts, you won’t go wrong. Worried? There’s a special message for you when you call your four-minute, week-ahead forecast. Call 0906 751 5606.

LIBRA Sep 24 - Oct 23 EVEN the most diligent folk find themselves in sticky situations. Now, before you start to panic, that’s not a prediction for you today. Actually, I’m thinking about a situation from your recent past from which you managed to extricate yourself. You created a ladder and used it to get out of a hole. The good news is that the ladder’s extendable. And as Venus, your ruler, links with Saturn, if you climb it today, you’ll reach new understanding that leads to an enlightening, novel perspective on a problem. Need some support? What’s the best way to move forward and plan for the future? Call your forecast: 0906 751 5607.

SCORPIO Oct 24 - Nov 22 THE journalist and crime reporter Peter De Vries said ‘the universe is like a safe to which there’s a combination. But the combination is locked up in the safe’. If you’re facing a situation that seems to be ‘unsolvable’, it’s worth bearing this in mind today. Even though an obstacle might seem insurmountable, it’s only as real as you imagine it to be. As Venus links with Saturn, the Cosmic Teacher, it enables you to implement an innovative plan that will solve a problem. It’s going to be more simple than you think. Unsure about the direction you’re heading in and what to do for the best? There’s valuable advice. Call 0906 751 5608.

SAGITTARIUS Nov 23 - Dec 21 WHEN you look for a change, it’s like shopping at the sales. ‘Over 80 per cent off! That’s an amazing deal! I’d be foolish to pass up on such a bargain!’ We return home overjoyed . . . then reality sets in and we realise that purple, faux-croc boots are never going to fit our wardrobe! Change for change’s sake will be no better than your current situation. If something doesn’t feel right today, then hold off — a moment of patience now will pay dividends later. Take your time before making a decision. Ease your troubles. Solve your problems. Your latest forecast contains helpful information. Call 0906 751 5609.

CAPRICORN Dec 22 - Jan 20 WE SEEM to have an inbuilt attraction to extremes. ‘This is the best.’ ‘That’s the worst.’ ‘This situation is delightful.’ ‘That situation is disastrous.’ Yet is it possible that we’re so desperate to create these distinctions that we make them, even when they’re inappropriate? The difficulty is that if we make categorical announcements about our views, it’s not so easy to retract them. As your ruler, Saturn, links with Venus, it brings an opportunity for you to navigate your way out of an established position. Phew. Worried? There’s a special message for you when you call your four-minute, week-ahead forecast. Call 0906 751 5610.

AQUARIUS Jan 21 - Feb 19 IT’S not easy learning to ride a bike. At first it seems impossible. How can anyone balance on two thin wheels, while pedaling with their feet, and steering? Yet there comes a moment when, suddenly, everything comes together and we’re wobbling across the car park. Fortunately, throughout life, the skills we need to learn aren’t usually quite so challenging. Today brings an opportunity to show off a skill you’ve acquired. Enjoy the limelight . . . but keep an eye on where you’re headed. Need some support? What’s the best way to move forward and plan for the future? Call your forecast: 0906 751 5611.

PISCES Feb 20 - Mar 20 GETTING planning permission to create planet Earth can’t have been easy. Imagine the meetings between the cosmic accountants and the developers. How many oceans? How much air? Yet none of that effort went to waste. We live on an incredible planet, filled with extraordinary things. To honour the enormity, and the imagination of the work that’s gone before you, you need to seize the opportunity that comes your way today. Throw any sensible plans out the window and be as silly and creative as you can be. Unsure about the direction you’re heading in and what to do for the best? There’s valuable advice. Call 0906 751 5612.
