JONATHAN CAINER

Dear Jonathan, The heart as a symbol of love is not universal, it is contemporary. Some cultures do not associate that shape with the feeling of love. Perhaps Pluto’s lesson is that nothing emanates or has inherent meaning and all meaning is projected. Astrology then would appear to be a consensual, evolving meaning map. How wonderful that the universe co-operates with the meaning we project on it. Timaeon Dear Timaeon, I agree the sky seems willing to be what we want it to be. But are we willing to be what we think it wants us to be? ARIES Mar21—Apr20 NOTHING in life makes sense. Or at least, not the kind of sense that stands up to scrutiny. Like a car on which one wheel has worked loose and rolled away — yet retains stability so the driver doesn’t immediately notice — it all works, so long as you don’t stop to think too carefully about what might be wrong and why it shouldn’t really be working at all. And if ever we let ourselves think too hard, it stops working! But so long as we keep going? Isn’t that what you’re doing now? And it is working! the powerful Celestial finger of fate really can transform your world. for four minutes of valuable advice, call 0906 751 5601. TAURUS Apr 21 — May 21 WHEN a child first sees a naked flame, they are mesmerised. Soon, though, they learn to respect its potential to do damage. Without sharp knives, how would we prepare great delicacies in our kitchens? Though it’s so important to take care with these implements, can we be too careful? One has to wonder how our once-Neanderthal race would ever have evolved if health and safety had ever been its chief priority. By all means be wary of a risk today, but don’t let that deter you from seizing an opportunity. life may never be the same again! the Celestial finger of fate points to untold possibilities. let me explain. Call 0906 751 5602. GEMINI May 22 — June 22 THE world is full of 22 people failing to get it quite right. They may be trying their best, but that’s hardly good enough. They may feel they’ve reached a zenith that, by comparison to some other potential point of high achievement, is a nadir. It might not be so bad if such efforts were focused in one area, but mediocrity is indicative of the human condition. We don’t aim for the greatest, just aspire to do whatever we can get away with. You can do so much better than that today. the powerful Celestial finger of fate really can transform your world. for four minutes of valuable advice, call 0906 751 5603. CANCER June 23 — July 23 THERE are times when we all wonder what we are worth. It doesn’t matter how popular or successful we are. We lose a little confidence. We become keenly conscious of our failings. That’s natural, and as it should be. As long as we don’t let it go on too long. You’ve lately had more than your fair share of humbling moments. It is now appropriate for the balance to swing the other way and for you to take some justified pride in who you are, what you’ve done… and in what you are about to do next! Life may never be the same again! the Celestial finger of fate points to untold possibilities. let me explain. Call 0906 751 5604. LEO July 24 — Aug 23 THERE is a big difference between being childish and being childlike. It is good to reach the latter state. We should never abandon our sense of innocent, wide-eyed wonder and natural enthusiasm for the magic of each new day. But if we engage in petty squabbles, tantrums and sulks at how unfair a situation seems, we do ourselves no favours. Your inner child now deserves to be nurtured, protected, reassured and even indulged. Your current challenge can be made into a gain. the powerful Celestial finger of fate really can transform your world. for four minutes of valuable advice, call 0906 751 5605. VIRGO Aug 24 — Sep 23 WHAT is someone trying to achieve? Their actions don’t make as much sense as they wish they did. That could be because they are confused about what they need to communicate. People are constantly encouraged to say what’s on their mind and be honest about their feelings, yet that presupposes a level of clarity that we may not be blessed with. What if we don’t know what we feel or think? Then we need the tender, sensitive assistance of a non-judgmental listening ear. You can provide that today. life may never be the same again! the Celestial finger of fate points to untold possibilities. let me explain. Call 0906 751 5606. LIBRA Sep 24 — Oct 23 AS ANY estate agent will confirm, buying a property does not begin or end with the prospective purchaser feeling so inspired by their viewing that they make an offer. Even if mortgages are granted and conveyancing requirements met, there is the slight matter of ‘the chain’. Sam can’t sell to Pam until Pam has bought from Tam, and if Tam’s negotiations with Ram hit trouble, nothing can move. The source of a current problem may be further down the line than you imagine. the powerful Celestial finger of fate really can transform your world. for four minutes of valuable advice, call 0906 751 5607. SCORPIO Oct 24 — Nov 22 ‘FOR ALL we know, this may all be a dream. We come and go, like ripples on a stream...’ More today from the song For All We Know. The lyrics are by Sam Lewis from 1934; yet they are timeless. We know so little, but hold so many strong views. And always, whether edgy or comfortable, we’re aware of the need to make the most of every moment. That takes courage. To do so we must allow ourselves vulnerability. Happiness is not a feeling defensive people often have! You can afford to be open today. life may never be the same again! the Celestial finger of fate points to untold possibilities. let me explain. Call 0906 751 5608. SAGITTARIUS Nov 23 — Dec 21 THE OPERA is in town. But the star performer has a sore throat. What are you doing tonight? Could you learn the part and take their place? An impulse to rise to a challenge exists deep inside every Sagittarian. Why should anything be impossible? Who knows what can happen if we give it our best shot? But unless you’ve had years of training, it’s better to help them find a more suitable substitute. Know your limits, but don’t let that stop you playing a key part in a wonderful process. the powerful Celestial finger of fate really can transform your world. for four minutes of valuable advice, call 0906 751 5609. CAPRICORN Dec 22 — Jan 20 I’M SURE you don’t remember the early Seventies. You don’t look old enough! But if you know someone who was around then, ask them if they recall a cartoon character whose image adorned rock concert adverts and the pages of underground magazines. He had a catch-phrase, too. A little speech bubble would emerge from his mouth saying, ‘Keep on truckin.’ It meant precisely what you might imagine it meant, and remains true now. Success comes from making this your motto. life may never be the same again! the Celestial finger of fate points to untold possibilities. let me explain. Call 0906 751 5610. AQUARIUS Jan 21 — Feb 19 ENGLAND may have won the Ashes... but it’s still England. The weather hasn’t improved, nor has the national attitude. The Poms still seem to be whinging. No outbreaks of Victorian vivacity have been seen in Berkshire or Hampshire; even plain-speaking Yorkshire folk are not displaying Queenslandian candour. Nor deep in Devon do we detect the insouciance we might find in New South Wales. But then, it’s not the winning that counts, it’s the taking part, isn’t it? Actually, for you today, it is. the powerful Celestial finger of fate really can transform your world. for four minutes of valuable advice, call 0906 751 5611. PISCES Feb 20 — Mar 20 CLARITY isn’t the same as certainty. It just seems a little like it. There’s a deceptively dangerous difference. Though each state of mind can give rise to the other, true clarity may require an awkward concession. It may be necessary to accept the importance of some unknown factor that thus prevents reliable projection or intelligent anticipation. Only the very brave and wise are willing to state, with certainty, that they’re uncertain. Your awareness, today, of what you don’t know, will serve you well. life may never be the same again! the Celestial finger of fate points to untold possibilities. let me explain. Call 0906 751 5612.
