OSCAR CAINER

IT’S St Andrew’s Day, when Scotland looks towards a bright future. Edinburgh hosts the world’s largest arts festival, which I’ve attended many times. Even though it’s not the festival season, with Venus and Mars linking to Neptune, flair, creativity and imagination are in the air. Not just in Caledonia, but wherever we are, compromises may be required, but under these cosmic influences, it’s time to realise grand visions.

ARIES

Mar 21 - Apr 20 EVERYTHING

begins with an idea. Once we realise this, it’s obvious that a mere thought can be life-changing or world-transforming. Today, as your ruler links to imaginative Neptune, it brings an experience of a different level of reality. Something that seems out of reach is, in fact, attainable. The usual delay between having a thought and being able to activate it to produce a tangible result has all but disappeared. You just need to be clear with yourself — and listen. Here comes an answer to your prayers. How will the Solstice transform your life? There’s inspiring news in your December forecast. Call 0906 751 5601.

TAURUS Apr 21 - May 21 WHY does the world feel so incredibly unjust? What lies behind the injustice and hurts? Are we dealing with some form of divine justice for our past mistakes? Do we unconsciously, yet intentionally, bring pain into each other’s lives? Do the cosmic forces conspire to wreak as much havoc as possible? There will always be people who seek to bring others down. But they’re the exception, not the rule. The nature of the cosmos is love. And the act of thinking positive kind thoughts has a ripple effect. Be as good as you can be today. The powerful Solstice can change your life for the better in December. For valuable advice call 0906 751 5602.

GEMINI May 22 - June 22 IT’S frustrating

CANCER June 23 - July 23 TICK. Tock. Tick. Tock. Oh, don’t worry about that. That’s just the sound of the cosmic clock inexorably and insistently ticking away — a constant reminder of how short life is and how quickly time passes us by. Well, that got a little heavier than I’d anticipated! They say that time is fixed . . . so how is it that some minutes fly by while others seem to drag out? It’s much more malleable than we think. Today, if you cast your eye back over a recent event and think about what you’ve learned, you’ll save yourself heaps of time, and fix it. December is a powerful month. The Solstice brings transformation. For valuable information call 0906 751 5604.

LEO July 24 - Aug 23 SOMETIMES, the

most efficient way to work out what’s going on is by making a comparison. But it needs to be used with care or we can find ourselves applying the same criteria to assessing the qualities of an egg against those of an apple — or two situations that look similar but whose natures are completely different. You’re being offered valuable insight into how something actually works, or what’s really going on in the back of someone’s mind. That clarification will be very helpful today. Give yourself the best Solstice present: four minutes of priceless insight and support for December. Call 0906 751 5605.

VIRGO Aug 24 - Sep 23 THE crystal ball you’re trying to peer into is cracked. No matter how hard you focus on the tea leaves in the bottom of your cup, they look like dregs. You’re doing your best to look into the future, but you’re not having much luck. You can sense something new on the horizon, but you can’t tell what it is. Which is a good thing! In fact, it’s better that you don’t know! You need to work with the information you have, not with what you think (or fear) might happen. Then, you’ll find that the jigsaw falls into place. The future looks promising. Wonderful opportunities arise as the Solstice energises your life this month. For inspiring news call 0906 751 5606.

LIBRA Sep 24 - Oct 23 HAVE you heard of ‘deferred gratification’? It’s the idea that if we want to have an almond croissant tomorrow, we must make do with toast today. Although there’s a certain logic to this notion, there’s also a need for caution. If we’re not careful, we can end up losing our taste for treats and luxuries — and we all need those in our lives. You’ve been working hard and depriving yourself of a pleasure you deserve. When an opportunity to do something wonderful arises, seize it. It brings a well-earned reward. December brings the Solstice. Let it guide you to the future you’re silently, secretly longing for. Call 0906 751 5607.

SCORPIO Oct 24 - Nov 22 ‘IF YOU want

something done, ask a busy person.’ That might sound counter-intuitive — if they’re so busy, how will they ever find time to help you with your problems? But such individuals tend to have an efficient approach to life that cuts out the faffing, the waffling and the procrastination practised by the rest of us. If you’re feeling overwhelmed today, don’t be afraid to reach out for help. But don’t let someone else use that well-known maxim to take advantage of your hard-working nature. Good boundaries are key. The Solstice brings powerful positive change. There’s great advice in your December forecast. Call 0906 751 5608.

SAGITTARIUS Nov 23 - Dec 21 PEOPLE who have strong opinions tend to know what they want and how to get it. They work out the right direction, and then do whatever they need to ensure they don’t meander from the path. Well...that’s the theory. But in reality, everyone has to deal with forks in the road that make decisions difficult. Which is a good thing. When our minds are open, magical processes can occur. Be glad of all that’s perplexing you today. If you allow it to mystify and bewilder you, it will also begin to enlighten and inspire you. Capture the auspicious energy of the Solstice.

CAPRICORN Dec 22 - Jan 20 YOU

have certain standards, opinions and concerns. You don’t like this; you can’t tolerate that. It’s only human to prioritise and evaluate. One thing matters more than another. One person has more to offer than someone else. But although we’re perfectly entitled to our benchmarks, if we hold on to them too tightly, they can become problematic. What if other positive possibilities arise that don’t happen to be on the current list of factors that we’re willing to consider? Today brings a chance to reassess and reset. Let the power of the Solstice inspire you in December. For four-minutes of encouraging news call 0906 751 5610.

AQUARIUS Jan 21 - Feb 19 IT DOES not

PISCES Feb 20 - Mar 20 SAYING ‘no’ is

no easy thing. If it were, we’d all be doing it. Although some say it gets easier as we get older, the people pleasers among us know it’s not that simple. You don’t like letting people down. You like to lend a supporting hand. Yet, the more accommodating you are, the more your reputation grows and, if you’re not careful, you get into a cycle of meeting other people’s needs and ignoring your own. As Neptune, your ruling planet, is energised today, you find the strength to make sure your helpfulness works for you, too. Cosmic gifts are heading your way. There’s great advice in your fourminute December forecast. Call 0906 751 5612.
