OSCAR CAINER

AS SATURN slows to turn retrograde this weekend, the planet of hard work and commitment aligns with Mars (courage, drive and impatience). For anyone in a rush, this could prove frustrating. But for those of us enjoying the Queen’s Jubilee long weekend, it’s the perfect time for a break! Even if progress is slow, we’re on the right track. Mercury turning direct promises things will soon start going to plan.

ARIES Mar 21 - Apr 20

WHY are we here? What’s the purpose of life on this crazy planet? Sorry to hit you with existential questions just before the weekend, but they’re relevant right now. Isn’t this the sort of thing we should be pondering daily? How else can we find a sense of purpose and meaning? And if we don’t have those, how can we ever feel as if we’ve achieved anything? As the cosmic teacher, Saturn, links to your ruler, Mars, you can find meaning, purpose and success this weekend. Fulfil your dreams! Let the week’s exciting cosmic outlook reveal your heart’s true desires. For good news, call 0906 751 5601.

TAURUS Apr 21 - May 21

THE question this weekend regards your priorities. We all have different opinions about what’s most important to us. We tend to assume that because something matters to us, it matters to everyone else too. But if something doesn’t really bother us, we find it hard to prioritise it, even if it’s on the top of other folks’ agendas. Yet that’s what you’re being asked to do. With Mercury moving forwards, channels of communication are clearer. If someone really matters to you, you’ll be able to prioritise their views. A new week! As a series of thrilling astrological events unfolds, a forecast that could transform your life! Call 0906 751 5602.

GEMINI May 22 - June 22

WHEN we’re stressed we try to rationalise our feelings. ‘There’s no point worrying about it because it might not happen. If it does, I’ll work out what to do.’ But it’s not good to bury emotions. Recently, even when you’re not feeling stressed about anything, you’ve been fretting. It’s annoying, because the issue turning over in your mind doesn’t seem to justify your concerns. This weekend, with your ruler turning direct, you’ll deal with the issue so fast you’ll wonder why you worried at all. In a week of cosmic creativity, you can transform your life. For four minutes of news call 0906 751 5603.

CANCER June 23 - July 23

LET the words of Deepak Chopra be your guide: ‘The less you open your heart to others, the more your heart suffers.’ As a sensitive Cancerian, you’ve developed an effective coping mechanism. If you find yourself caught up in a storm of overwhelming emotion, you have an inner sanctuary, which you can withdraw to until things calm down. Although it’s an enviable strategy, sometimes you can feel isolated. This weekend, if you find the courage to brave the emotional elements, you’ll get closer to someone special. Use the inspiring cosmic energy to create positive change this week. For valuable insight, call 0906 751 5604.

LEO July 24 - Aug 23

WHY should the cosmos care about you? After all, you’re just a pebble on a beach that stretches on for ever, an individual among seven billion others. When we think along these lines, it’s easy to see ourselves as of little consequence. Why are the celestial helpers going to take care of us when there are so many other more deserving folk? Yet it’s not a question of them finding time to notice us and our needs, so much as us noticing them! If you look for magic, this weekend, you’ll find it. How can you benefit from this week’s powerful cosmic climate? It can change your life. For good news, call 0906 751 5605.

VIRGO Aug 24 - Sep 23

EVEN though your ruler, Mercury, is turning direct, this weekend might not be quite as straightforward as you think it’s going to be. In fact, if you find yourself doing exactly what you intend to do, something isn’t quite right. You’ve adapted to an unsatisfactory situation with such Virgoan ease that you’ve hardly noticed that it doesn’t suit your needs. Look out for unexpected events, even ‘mistakes’ — they have the most to offer. If you indulge your curiosity, you’ll open doors that lead to a more satisfying place. Take full advantage of the inspiring celestial alignments; solve your problems and find solutions! Call 0906 751 5606.

LIBRA Sep 24 - Oct 23

YOU enjoy going with the flow. When the wind changes direction, you’re able to set up your sail, and head off into uncharted waters more easily than other folk. At least, that’s what you do when you’re feeling good about yourself. When you’re stressed, you prefer to hunker down and keep away from the edge of the water; it feels easier to control things from there. This weekend, as Saturn slows to turn retrograde, resist the urge to push something that’s doing exactly what it needs to do. In a week of awesome cosmic activity, take advantage of the potential for transformation. Call 0906 751 5607.

SCORPIO Oct 24 - Nov 22

IF YOU want to get rich from gambling, invest your cash in a casino! If you want to meet your dream lover, spend the weekend sleeping! If you want to live a stress-free family life, stay away from your nearest and dearest! Simple solutions to complicated issues. In your life, you know what it makes sense to do . . . it’s just that you don’t want to let go of a fantasy. As Saturn stations before turning backwards in our skies, it helps you see the advantages of what’s unfolding (rather than what might unfold). It could be fun! You’ve got lots to look forward to! Find inspiration in your latest four-minute forecast. Call 0906 751 5608.

SAGITTARIUS Nov 23 - Dec 21

IF WE meet someone for the first time, we all tend to ask the same questions; their name, and what they do for a living. Then we categorise their response into appropriate folders in our brain. ‘They do this, so they belong in that file.’ That’s ridiculous. We’re all so much more than our jobs. We have dreams that go beyond the humdrum business of our daily lives. Yet what we choose to spend our time doing impacts us and others. You can make a healthy adjustment this weekend. Even if you don’t usually call your in-depth prediction, listen to this inspiring news. Call 0906 751 5609.

CAPRICORN Dec 22 - Jan 20

BING CROSBY sang: ‘The moon belongs to everyone, the best things in life are free.’ Why was this classic song so popular? Well, it expresses a universal human experience. Why do we need to spend so much time focusing on finances? Why does everything cost money? Why do we have to relate everything back to such an unfair, heartless, numerical system? As your ruler slows to turn retrograde, you can shift a weight you’re carrying and appreciate something joyful — and free. Powerful changes are possible as the planets positively combine. Make the most of their influence. Call 0906 751 5610.

AQUARIUS Jan 21 - Feb 19

RECENTLY, I heard about someone who works as a natural healer. They were suffering from a painful finger, which they put down to a simple strain. Although they used their positive energy and healing techniques to alleviate the problem, they ended up seeking medical advice and an X-ray revealed a fracture. But the medics were amazed by the speed at which the finger was improving. Even if you can’t find the root of a problem, you can fix it this weekend. In a time of celestial positivity, you can transform your life. Your forecast is packed with news. Call 0906 751 5611.

PISCES Feb 20 - Mar 20

JUST because we all have powerful emotions and desires doesn’t mean our feelings help us to get what we want, or to feel positive about what we’re doing with our lives. Despite the fact we’re told that we can’t help feeling what we feel, it would be better to say that we can’t help feeling! We’re all on emotional roller-coasters that rocket us up and down. Think about what you ‘should’ be feeling this weekend. Then ask yourself if you ‘want’ to be feeling it. The two might just be in harmony! Capture the powerful energy of the positively star-filled skies. Call your in-depth, four-minute forecast: 0906 751 5612.
