OSCAR CAINER

WHILE some folk are checking they have enough Christmas gifts for everyone, others are planning late shopping sprees at their local petrol station! Jupiter is encouraging generosity, while retrograde Venus reminds us that, with the sales coming up, we should keep our receipts. Perhaps present-hunters and gas-station-gifters can learn from each other? The Mercury/Uranus link suggests we should all be prepared to think differently now.

ARIES Mar 21 - Apr 20

TAURUS Apr 21 - May 21

PROFESSIONAL clairvoyants tend to offer cautious advice to their clients. ‘Be wary of this.’ ‘Watch out for that.’ Their restraint is probably wise. If their message was about ‘not worrying’ and ‘ignoring the warning signals’, they’d be accused of inciting people to be reckless. As we approach the Solstice, you’re being invited to take a leap of faith. I shouldn’t really say, ‘Go for it,’ or, ‘don’t.’ I should leave it up to you. But… it’s nearly Christmas! With care and consideration, you can make a pleasing change. Let the warmth and power of the Solstice inspire you this festive week. Call your four-minute forecast: 0906 751 5602.

GEMINI May 22 - June 22

It coincides with the Solstice energy; when hearts tend to well up with unusual amounts of acceptance, compassion and understanding. That’s why you feel as if you have so much to give... as well as to do. Is this just a blip on the radar? Will we return to our old, cold ways when the presents have been opened? This week, you go through a transformational experience that has positive, permanent, implications. The Solstice brings powerful positive change! There’s great news in your forecast. Call 0906 751 5603.

CANCER June 23 - July 23

IMAGINE you’re preparing for a road trip. You’re planning on driving the famous Route 66. How many places would you hope to see on your travels? Perhaps you’d take time to explore the Mississippi river, or sing along to Oklahoma in Oklahoma, enjoying everything from Texan BBQ to Kansas fried chicken as you go. The destination isn’t so important — it’s the experiences that make it memorable. Yes… you’re heading towards Christmas. But today holds potential delights. Take time to enjoy where you are. use the power of the Solstice to change your life. For the key to a wonderful Christmas, call 0906 751 5604.

LEO July 24 - Aug 23

EVEN neutral news stories are carefully curated and edited. X is more important than Y. This event (not that one) is going to be front page news. Some days, there’s so much going on that it’s not easy to choose the ‘right’ story. On a ‘slow news day’, in contrast, anything becomes worthy of comment. No one ever thinks that no news is good news. Don’t let someone underscore a problem somewhere in your world today. You know what’s really important. If you think you don’t need to be concerned, you don’t! The powerful Solstice can transform the coming festivities. There’s valuable news when you call 0906 751 5605.

VIRGO Aug 24 - Sep 23

PEOPLE who have all the answers are probably not asking the right questions. When it comes to difficult situations, we all sometimes prefer sticking our heads in the sand rather than deal with the reality. Ignorance might be bliss, but it doesn’t help us grow, or deal with life’s challenges. Not that I need to explain that to you! Be alert, today, to an area in your world where someone’s air of confidence might be masking an issue that could cause problems. You can find an answer that helps create a more peaceful Christmas. Maximise the energy available to you this festive week. The Solstice can transform Christmas. Call 0906 751 5606.

LIBRA Sep 24 - Oct 23

ANYONE who likes to use the phrase ‘money doesn’t grow on trees’ will eventually find themselves unstuck by a precocious seven-year-old quick to point out that, as money is often made of paper, it does! Of course, the adult will protest that that’s not the point; they were being metaphorical. Unfortunately, any point is as good as lost by then! If you find yourself trying to explain a point today, know when you’re beaten — precocious kids included! As long as you understand, that’s enough. This is an exceptional festive week. The Solstice promises more hopeful times ahead. Call 0906 751 5607.

SCORPIO Oct 24 - Nov 22

YOU’RE a sensitive Scorpio. I know that might be obvious, but sometimes, stating the obvious is important. You’re embroiled in a complicated conundrum that’s creating Christmas confusion. What’s not so obvious, is that we’re approaching the Solstice, when magical possibilities and solutions are in the air. Less obvious still, is the fact that Scorpios are feeling both deeply vulnerable and scarily powerful. You’re a force to be reckoned with now. Don’t hold back from saying what needs to be said. Give yourself the best Solstice present ever: you deserve it! For priceless insight and support. Call 0906 751 5608.

SAGITTARIUS Nov 23 - Dec 21

CAPRICORN Dec 22 - Jan 20

THIS is the time of year when, as the Sun moves into your sign, it appears to hover, through a three-day solar standstill, on the horizon. It’s the Solstice; such an important celestial event that Christmas has been attached to it. This year, it happens to coincide with the approach of the final Saturn/Uranus link of the year. Add lucky Jupiter’s influence to the mix, and you’re in a powerful position. Yes, there are challenges. But you’ve got the resolve, and the insight to be able to make this Christmas memorable, for the right reasons. The Solstice brings powerful positive change! There’s great news.

Call 0906 751 5610. AQUARIUS Jan 21 - Feb 19

WE dream of finding a position where we feel safe and secure, without conflict, discord or acrimony... don’t we? But when we get close to such a sensation, it’s easy for that level of comfort to slip into boredom, complacency, and idleness. We rock the boat. We seek adventure and excitement. The tradition of the festive season holds mixed blessings for you. Yet it promises some peace, and a chance to switch off. Think of it as being time for a ‘dramatic pause’… and relax. Capture the powerful energy of the festive Solstice. Make this Christmas great! Call 0906 751 5611.

PISCES Feb 20 - Mar 20

SINCE Christmas is so close, surely you don’t need an astrological prediction to know what’s happening? Don’t you know what’s in store? This, after all, is the season of joy and celebration… when we put stresses and concerns to the side and focus on the good things in life. Some people pursue the festive spirit with such enthusiasm that they don’t question the power of positive thought. But suppose you face a situation that makes you doubt Santa’s ability to fix it? Stay optimistic anyway. Magic is available. How will the Solstice transform your life in the build up to Christmas? For inspiring news, call 0906 751 5612.
