JONATHAN CAINER

I CAN’T remember if I’ve ever told you this before but there are 30 degrees in each zodiac sign. Astrologers don’t just track the progress of each planet to the nearest degree. At times we need to know where they are to the nearest minute … or even second. Yes, you did read that right. The zodiac is a circle, just like a clock face. And it too, has minutes and seconds. Anyway, Mercury (planet of communication) is about to enter Virgo, sign of detail. This may not be the last complicated explanation any of us come across this week! ARIES Mar 21 — Apr 20 WHAT happens when we fail to do something? Why do we ‘forget’ the tasks we ought to tackle or the duties we know we should honour? It isn’t always because we are lazy, absent-minded or prone to distraction. It may well be because our intuition is looking at a situation from a very different point of view than our intellect. Reluctance can sometimes be wise and appropriate, even if it is hard to explain. You may soon see why it may be probably just as well that you didn’t do something you were ‘supposed’ to. It’s the Dark of the Moon; your future can be revealed and changed. Pick up the phone for inspiring news: 0906 751 5601.

TAURUS Apr 21 — May 21 WE ALL like to have someone to cheer for. Teams to support, contestants to root for, brands to identify with, beliefs to uphold, sides to take. Our affiliations don’t just inspire us, they often define us. Or so we think. Yet folk on either side of some social, sporting or even political divide often go through similar emotions. Which can make some of our differences less different than we imagine. It may be tricky for the cosmos to grant you a wish down to the last detail today. But in essence at least, it is on your side. It’s the mystic Dark of the Moon; your NEW Moon-sign forecast will touch your heart and lift your spirits. Call 0906 751 5602.

GEMINI May 22 — June 22 IMAGINE catching a train and then discovering you had no idea where it was going? Did you make a mistake? Are you the prisoner of a process? Is the eventual outcome entirely beyond your control? We often think such defeatist thoughts when developments in our lives don’t exactly align with our expectations. But if we make up our minds to find out as much as we can, we can use that information to our advantage and start heading in the right direction once more. As you will soon see. Discover what the Dark of the Moon reveals about you. For news to make your spine tingle and your heart leap, call 0906 751 5603.

CANCER June 23 — July 23 THINGSa are moving on and you are moving on with them. Now, why should that be anything other than a reason to celebrate? Doesn’t the next phase of your life hold forth inspiring, inviting opportunity? And, if you would like to believe all that was true but you fear perhaps it may not be, ask yourself this; have you not worked hard enough, made enough sacrifices, done more than enough recently to earn reward and recognition from the deities which dispense favour upon the deserving? Of course, you have! It’s the Dark of the Moon; your future can be revealed and changed. Pick up the phone for inspiring news: 0906 751 5604.

LEO July 24 — Aug 23 YOUR outlook remains auspicious. Your cosmic climate is encouraging. This may not, on its own, be a guarantee of endless success but it is a strong suggestion of a ‘following wind’ that is blowing you towards a shore that you have long yearned to reach. If you fail to put up a sail, you might not complete the journey. But if you truly try to catch that wind and take advantage of the opportunity that it potentially bestows upon you, who knows how far you can get and what amazing magic you may yet be able to work? It’s the mystic Dark of the Moon; your NEW Moonsign forecast will touch your heart and lift your spirits. Call 0906 751 5605.

VIRGO Aug 24 — Sep 23 STARTING now, Jupiter’s year long visit to Virgo. Is that encouraging? Or is it all cosmic coincidence? Some very learned academics insist that not only should we draw no inference from such celestial developments but we should scoff scornfully because the astrologers don’t even measure the sky in the same way that modern astronomers do. Why am I seemingly raining on my own parade? To make one key point. Your outlook is excellent and exceptional. But if you question everything, you may gain nothing! Discover what the Dark of the Moon reveals about you. For news to make your spine tingle and your heart leap, call 0906 751 5606. LIBRA Sep 24 — Oct 23 ‘THE Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away.’ So, at least, says the Old Testament Book of Job. It is never made entirely clear who (or what) the Lord is. Nor, in any Bible, is it explained exactly why the Lord giveth and why He (She or It) taketh it away. We only know that the religious seem just as likely to be rewarded or afflicted as the heathens. But then, perhaps we don’t need to know. William Cowper, the hymnodist, said: ‘God moves in a mysterious way.’ Today (whether you deserve it or not) God giveth. Be glad! It’s the Dark of the Moon; your future can be revealed and changed. Pick up the phone for inspiring news: 0906 751 5607.

SCORPIO Oct 24 — Nov 22 CONFLICT gives rise to more conflict. Aggression invites aggression. Mistrust too, is reciprocated. It doesn’t have to be overtly expressed. People can instinctively sense it and they respond unconsciously. They may attempt to justify their emotions with intellectual explanations but feelings lead where thoughts follow. So, how are we to break this vicious cycle and build a better world? We must remember that the opposite is also true. Love gives rise to more love, faith to more faith. Take a step in the right direction today. It’s the mystic Dark of the Moon; your NEW Moon-sign forecast will touch your heart and lift your spirits. Call 0906 751 5608.

SAGITTARIUS Nov 23 — Dec 21 WHEN is the best time to mend a leaky roof? Just before it rains! What do you want to be doing immediately prior to a cold snap? Fixing the heating and ensuring you have a nice warm coat to wear. Sagittarians may be spontaneous adventurers, but even the brave souls who share your sign appreciate the satisfaction that comes from knowing they have cleverly anticipated a challenge. What a joy to feel you’ve taken sensible steps to avert trouble. That’s what you are starting to do right now! Discover what the Dark of the Moon reveals about you. For news to make your spine tingle and your heart leap, call 0906 751 5609.

CAPRICORN Dec 22 — Jan 20 SOME of the things they say about Capricorns, are surely silly. I mean, where on earth do they get all this stuff about you being so serious, responsible and down-to-earth? Now, admittedly, you can lean in that direction from time to time and sometimes, you can do it so impressively that you can leave the rest of us with a sense of your infallibility. But you really aren’t quite so dry or so hidebound by codes and conventions. An occasional sense of mischief is a key component in your coping mechanism. Draw on that today. It’s the Dark of the Moon; your future can be revealed and changed. Pick up the phone for inspiring news: 0906 751 5610.

AQUARIUS Jan 21 — Feb 19 IT IS never a good idea to argue with an Aquarian. That advice applies to every zodiac sign. It applies doubly so in the case of an Aquarian arguing with another Aquarian. Aquarians should not be argued with because they invariably win. They make cases that cannot be contested. They find such flaws and faults in the logic of their adversaries, that they eventually undermine their opponent’s ability to stand tall and seem even remotely serious. Your capacity to criticise is a weapon. Make it one of last resort today. It’s the mystic Dark of the Moon; your NEW Moon-sign forecast will touch your heart and lift your spirits. Call 0906 751 5611.

PISCES Feb 20 — Mar 20 ‘TEA for two, two for tea, me for you and you for me…’ So goes the old 1920s show song, which I can never hear without thinking of Anita O’Day. I’m quoting it cautiously to you today. I’m slightly concerned lest you take it too literally and assume that I’m predicting a romantic meal. I’m not ruling that out, but the real astrological emphasis now, is on what can be done in collaboration and with co-operation. This may or may not, involve your love life. But in some area of your life, there is potential to be part of a successful team. Discover what the Dark of the Moon reveals about you.
