JONATHAN CAINER

HI JONATHAN, A reader recently explained how she has dealt with depression and anxiety most of her life. I would like to suggest she looks into what it means to be an ‘empath’. It may be that she is just sensitive to the energies of others around her. Some of us are almost a little too receptive and responsive. Joy Dear Joy, I certainly don’t think we can say that all who experience such challenges can be cured or helped by pursuing a path of deeper spiritual self-awareness, but I agree, it can be extremely helpful to many.

ARIES Mar 21 — Apr 20 IF YOU keep on walking, where will you end up? Now, let’s be careful here. That could be a trick question. Suppose you are on a treadmill. No matter how fast the conveyor belt beneath your feet turns, you won’t alter your geography, only your physiology. But while that might be a desirable outcome, we need to talk about the kind of actions that bring about more traditionally obvious rewards. You have set yourself a comparatively tricky target. There is no need to get clever, just persevere. The Moon is full, May has just begun and your spookily accurate Moon-sign forecast is ready. Treat yourself to good news. Call 0906 751 5601.

TAURUS Apr 21 — May 21 WHO is the outsider? Are you sure? We are all hard-wired to evaluate. We cannot help but judge our situation, the people around us and even scenarios that have little to do with us. Silently, we create rankings, identify contenders and protect ourselves from unwisely invested hope. Sometimes we get it right, and this only bolsters a false belief in our own powers of prescience. But if you feel pessimistic about your own chance of attaining success, you had best allow for this being wrong! Now, under the light of the Full Moon, your future can be revealed and changed. For important news, dial in your date of birth: 0906 751 5602.

GEMINI May 22 — June 22 IMAGINE being an international celebrity and having not a single skeleton in your closet. How stressful would that be? You might think this would protect you from scandal, but consider what happens in the world of press and PR. The gossip columnists have to have something to write about. If they can’t attach a salacious tale to you, they will choose to write about someone else instead. Now, try to see a small source of potential embarrassment in that light — and smile. Let the Full Moon guide you to the future you long for. There’s valuable advice in your indepth Moon-sign forecast. Call 0906 751 5603.

CANCER June 23 — July 23 ‘KNOCK, knock.’ ‘Who’s there?’ ‘Somebody whose name sounds like the start of an amusing phrase.’ Voila! A joke deconstructed and hardly funny any more. (Note to Spanish and Japanese translators: Please substitute the ‘knock, knock’ joke for some other form of local humour.) (Note to all English language publishers. Please leave note to the translators intact.) Note to the readers of this forecast. If something amuses you today, never mind how or why, just be glad. And if it doesn’t? Try to see what’s funny in it! The Moon is full, May has just begun and your spookily accurate Moon-sign forecast is ready. Treat yourself to good news. Call 0906 751 5604.

LEO July 24 — Aug 23 I’M SORRY to bother you, but I was wondering if you would like a forecast. I know you are busy and important and you hardly need advice from someone like me. But, then I wonder whether you might be displaying similarly dismissive tendencies towards others in your world. Quite possibly, you don’t need to hear their input, but perhaps they need to feel they are being listened to. And perhaps you need the practical advantage that is more likely to be conferred by remaining on good terms with them. Now, under the light of the Full Moon, your future can be revealed and changed. For important news, dial in your date of birth: 0906 751 5605.

VIRGO Aug 24 — Sep 23 IF YOU know what needs to be done, why not just do it? If you can see why that can’t be done, why not deal with the reason why it can’t be done? Or is there some other obstacle that stops you tackling the first difficulty? If we keep tracing our way back along the chain of complicated caveats that you are currently so conscious of, we may sooner or later reach a point that is all the more difficult to deal with because it reflects a degree of self-doubt. There is only one cure for that. Big yourself up. Let the Full Moon guide you to the future you long for. There’s valuable advice in your in-depth Moon-sign forecast. Call 0906 751 5606.

LIBRA Sep 24 — Oct 23 ‘THE Moon belongs to everyone, the best things in life are free...’ So goes the old classic song, made famous by Bing Crosby and others. Why was it such a hit? Well, it had a catchy tune, but it also expressed a sentiment that is close to all our hearts. Why must everything be expensive? Why must we relate everything back to this empty, soulless system of numbers and pieces of paper? Tired though you may be of what seems like a silly, unfair limitation, you may yet find a way to win. The Moon is full, May has just begun and your spookily accurate Moon-sign forecast is ready. Treat yourself to good news. Call 0906 751 5607.

SCORPIO Oct 24 — Nov 22 WHEN we accuse people of being unrealistic, we criticise their reluctance to accept the inevitable. But then, isn’t that what all of us spend most of our whole lives doing? We don’t want to face the inevitable. We find it unnerving and disconcerting. The very thought of it requires us to formulate complex personal philosophies and find reassurance in all kinds of strange faiths. Perhaps something in your life is not quite as set in stone as you think. But at least make some allowance for it, just in case. Now, under the light of the Full Moon, your future can be revealed and changed. For important news, dial in your date of birth: 0906 751 5608.

SAGITTARIUS Nov 23 — Dec 21 ‘SAGITTARIANS,’ say the expert astrologers, ‘are rarely risk averse.’ But how do Sagittarians feel about being saddled with such a reputation? You may be carefree, but that doesn’t make you careless. And even if you are brave, bold, even inclined to show wanton disregard to some of this world’s rules and regulations, you are almost overly respectful of other potential limitations. So should you leap boldly forward or step nervously back? Well, be wholehearted whatever you choose. Let the Full Moon guide you to the future you long for. There’s valuable advice in your in-depth Moon-sign forecast. Call 0906 751 5609.

CAPRICORN Dec 22 — Jan 20 BILL Murray once made a wonderful film called Groundhog Day. There are many who say it contained his finest performance. Perhaps he should have made a sequel or a series. But then, that would have run counter to the central tenet of the original movie. It was all about things that keep happening over and over again and people who don’t seem to notice the repetition. Not all change is desirable, but much of it is often far less undesirable than we initially tend to see it as. Be open to that. The Moon is full, May has just begun and your spookily accurate Moon-sign forecast is ready. Treat yourself to good news. Call 0906 751 5610.

AQUARIUS Jan 21 — Feb 19 MANY great political figures are not natural orators. Even those who have become famous for their speeches didn’t necessarily write them. While most of us resent the idea of having words put into our mouths, some of us (such as actors) go far in life by allowing others to feed us their lines. So, here’s today’s question. Is someone in your world (even you, perhaps), saying something because it sounds like a good thing to say? Or because it truly comes from their heart? Now, under the light of the Full Moon, your future can be revealed and changed. For important news, dial in your date of birth: 0906 751 5611.

PISCES Feb 20 — Mar 20 HAVE you got a problem? Well, if you are intending to spend the day sitting around feeling bad about a set of circumstances, you definitely have got a problem. Your problem is that you are giving too much energy to your problem! All crossword puzzle fans know the best way to solve a conundrum is to let your mind go blank for a while. Think about something else. Sooner or later, a little inner lightbulb will switch itself on and you will know precisely what the right answer must be. Remember that.
