OSCAR CAINER

IF A machine isn’t working in the movies, it often comes to life when someone whacks it. If only it were so simple! In real life, that might cause more damage than good! As Venus links with Mars today, it’s by taking a soft approach that we’ll be able to fire on all cylinders. With eccentric Uranus adding energy to the mix, radical or unorthodox action might be necessary, but inventive encouragement and inspiration will be more successful than brute force.

ARIES Mar 21 - Apr 20 WE SPEND so much time and energy trying not to make mistakes. But even if we think we’ve made every error in the book, there are many we haven’t even begun making. If that sounds daunting, it shouldn’t! Errors teach us invaluable lessons. They force us to learn, adapt and improve. Without them, we’d carry on doing the same old things in the same old ways. As your ruler, Mars, links with the planet of pleasure, Venus, it’s time to stop apologising and be proud of what you’ve achieved. Capture the powerful energy of this Supermoon month. Call your in-depth, four-minute forecast: 0906 751 5601.

TAURUS Apr 21 - May 21 WHAT is it with everyone at the moment? There’s a tense, twitchy atmosphere. The slightest error seems to kick-start arguments. It’s as if you’re in the middle of an episode of EastEnders. We may enjoy watching soap operas from the comfort of our sofas, but we don’t want to feel we’re living in one. As your ruler, Venus, links with dynamic Mars, you may have to deal with an unexpected development today. But you can be confident the outcome of this episode will lead to a surprisingly pleasing change of plot. August’s Supermoon brings potential to create the changes you seek! There’s good news when you call 0906 751 5602.

GEMINI May 22 - June 22 SOME people can’t help telling their life stories within five minutes of meeting someone. Others are more reticent. Even when they need help, they keep their counsel. So where do you fall on this scale? Ruled by Mercury, you’re a good communicator. Yet, in one key area, you’re not being heard, or are struggling to listen to what’s being said. Today, even though you may not feel like going over old ground, there’s a real opportunity to share information in a way that leads to productive co-operation. This month brings a Supermoon! Be guided to the future you long for and deserve. Call 0906 751 5603.

CANCER June 23 - July 23 ‘IF WE have no peace, it’s because we’ve forgotten that we belong to each other.’ Mother Teresa dedicated her life to working with the destitute. She didn’t question how needy they were, or make judgments. She simply cared for people who needed caring for and demonstrated unconditional love. She saw all human beings as part of her family. Your generosity of spirit is being enhanced by the presence of Venus, the planet of love, in your sign. You have the power to inspire positive change today.

How can August’s Supermoon transform your life? There’s valuable news in your month-ahead forecast. Call 0906 751 5604.

LEO July 24 - Aug 23 CAN you afford to forgive someone? Try thinking from another perspective. Can you afford not to? If you hold on to your frustration, how will you cope with the tension? Obviously, you want to do what you can to prevent a situation from repeating. There are lessons to learn. But you have to let something go. To forgive does not mean to forget. You can be firm. Yet you can also be more fair-minded than someone’s been to you. Since you’re in the right, you can counter any difficult feelings . . . and do the right thing! Be inspired by August’s Supermoon. Call your month-ahead forecast for powerful advice: 0906 751 5605.

VIRGO HAVE you Aug 24 - Sep 23 forgotten to perform a ritual to the deities of good fortune? Did you use the wrong words when you asked for cosmic assistance? Or wave your wand in the wrong direction? No! Just because things aren’t going to plan doesn’t mean you’ve done anything wrong. Today, as Venus, the planet of love, links to Mars, the power planet, you need to conjure up your faith and set your expectations high. Celestial assistance is available. If you want to make the most of it, be organised, prioritise and hold on to your sense of faith. Use the power of this Supermoon month to change your life. For the key to your future, call 0906 751 5606.

LIBRA Sep 24 - Oct 23 WHY do we spend so much time worrying about things that will never happen and problems that won’t arise? Could today be the day to stop? As your ruler, Venus, links with powerful Mars, the strings that have been pulling you, like a puppet, into taking actions you don’t really want to take, are being cut. Here comes the freedom to do what you want. If you take things gently (rather than throw yourself into the first opportunity you find) you’ll appreciate the cosmic gift and progress, worry-free. This powerful Supermoon month brings transformation! There’s valuable news when you call 0906 751 5607.

SCORPIO Oct 24 - Nov 22 AS A familiar problem seems ready to present itself again, it’s no wonder you’re feeling slightly anxious. You’re a sensitive Scorpio. You didn’t enjoy the stress it created last time, and you don’t want to have to repeat the experience. But this time will be different. And, while it may make sense to arm yourself, armour can be as restrictive as it is protective. Is it possible your careful groundwork could be creating a barrier to progress? Trust that the cosmos is on your side. Be open to what it tells you. Maximise the energy available in August. Find out how the Supermoon can transform your world. Call 0906 751 5608.

SAGITTARIUS Nov 23 - Dec 21 SO WHERE were you before you arrived on planet Earth? Where are you heading when you leave? While some people think ‘this is it’, others believe we move on to somewhere else, and that our eventual destination depends on how good, or how bad, we’ve been. It seems unlikely the celestial forces that created our cosmos would waste time keeping lists of our attributes. Today brings a reminder of the forces for good that support you. This is an exceptional time. The Supermoon month brings potential for exciting change. Find out more. Call 0906 751 5609.

CAPRICORN Dec 22 - Jan 20 WE ALL know the technology on which we depend doesn’t have emotions. What about the mythical creatures from our legends and stories? We’re not sure they feel very much either. Human beings seem to be at the top of the list when it comes to experiencing a variety of emotions, all at the same time. If you feel confused by conflicting feelings today, know that it’s ‘normal’. Just because you feel under pressure to make a decision doesn’t mean you can’t give yourself some time. Stepping back will bring clarity. It’s August! Give yourself the best Supermoon present: four minutes of priceless insight. Call 0906 751 5610.

AQUARIUS WHY does Jan 21 - Feb 19 life on this spinning ball of rock seem to be packed full of things we don’t really want to do (but feel we have to do)? There are always tasks to undertake. Responsibilities to uphold. Promises to keep. Although it might be hard to change this, no one can force you to increase the number of obligations. You’re very good at honouring your commitments. So you don’t have to feel bad about making a decision to rid yourself of an unnecessary burden. It’s time to experience more pleasure. Wonderful opportunities arise as August’s Supermoon energises your life. For great news, call 0906 751 5611.

PISCES Feb 20 - Mar 20 SOME people don’t believe in preparing for disaster, because it so rarely happens. Yet one look at newspaper headlines tells us that, for some folk, dealing with impossibly challenging situations is part of their daily life. So should we spend our lives worrying about how we’ll cope if and when trouble arrives in our world? When we do, it’s almost as if we’re challenging it to come and find us because we’re ready for it. Cast any negative concerns to the side today. If you expect positive things to happen, they will. Let this Supermoon month bring positive change! Your August forecast is packed with good news. Call 0906 751 5612.
