JONATHAN CAINER

One glance at tonight’s sky will explain all you need to know about what kind of week we have in store. The moment of exact opposition between the heavens’ brightest pair of luminaries comes just before midnight on Wednesday. A mid-week full moon is often not as immediately intense as one that occurs at a weekend, when more alcohol tends to be drunk and people perhaps have more time to wind one another up into various states of frenzy, but this full moon is due to become part of an unusual T-square pattern, as I shall explain tomorrow.

ARIES Mar 21 — Apr 20 STRANGE stories are being told. Unexpected developments are taking place. Mysteries are becoming more complex, regardless of how hard you try to make sense of them. By the end of the week, you may be no more the wiser than you are now, but you will be more relaxed! You will see, if nothing else, that you don’t need to be any the wiser. A problem is resolving itself, whether or not you understand what has caused it or how best to fix it. Just decide that you won’t let anything irritate you. There is no need for that! This week’s full moon has a very special message for you. Call 0906 751 5601.

TAURUS Apr 21 — May 21 A SITUATION seems to be spiralling out of control. But was it ever under control in the first place? Or did it just give that impression from a distance? Perhaps you just thought: ‘By and large, there is no trouble around here,’ because you weren’t round there, you were somewhere else dealing with a different set of circumstances. When we are unfamiliar with a situation, we often imagine it will be hard for us to take control of it. Yet one small moment of recognition can vastly alter our view. As you will see this week. As the moon grows full, an opportunity awaits for you. Call 0906 751 5602.

GEMINI May 22 — June 22 WERE you born blessed with magical super powers? Can you do amazing things? Before you shrug your shoulders and wonder what has got into your astrologer, I invite you to put aside your modesty and think again. Look at what you are good at and what comes naturally to you. Look at what you often manage to do, even without thinking, much to the surprise of onlooking naysayers. You are pretty special and, once in a while at least, this allows you to attain delightful results. As you will demonstrate this week. This week’s full moon has a powerful message for you. Call 0906 751 5603.

CANCER June 23 — July 23 Why are Cancerians so often described as compassionate, caring and kind? It is true that you are born blessed with these admirable qualities, but there is one reason in particular why you empathise so deeply with suffering souls. You know how they feel because, once in a while, your own need for reassurance intensifies to such an extent that you feel almost overwhelmed by it. Were it not for the support of others, you might hardly cope. So, of course, you see the need to be nice. And this week, you will do something marvellous. Turn the power of the coming full moon to your advantage. Call 0906 751 5604.

LEO July 24 — Aug 23 WE MUST be conscious of consequences. We should be aware of alternatives. We should strive to apply intelligence, even to simple plans. There might be better ways, yet we might not understand how or why they are better until we have considered their implications. Now, it is also true that we can over-think problems and sink into a state of inertia by worrying too much, too often but, as the full moon aligns helpfully to Jupiter this week, you will avoid this pitfall and will be just wise enough, just fast enough. Are you ready to look at your life in a new light? Call 0906 751 5605.

VIRGO Aug 24 — Sep 23 SOME people hold themselves in high regard. They like the sound of their own voice, they admire the sight of themselves in the mirror or they get a warm glow of satisfaction when they think back over their past choices and flatter themselves that these are withstanding the test of time. Pride, of course, comes before a fall. But what does pride do once it has fallen? It picks itself up, dusts itself off and carries on! This week though, you can benefit greatly from the brief emergence of a chink in someone’s armour. As the moon grows full you enter a time of great potential. Call 0906 751 5606.

LIBRA Sep 24 — Oct 23 TO HAVE Mars in Libra is to gain a great advantage. It doesn’t necessarily mean you will become the recipient of heavenly help, but it at least suggests that you will be helped to help yourself! You will soon start to recognise opportunities and to confidently seize these. You can hardly expect your every choice to be wise and your every action to produce an ideal outcome, but you will at least get a sense of resilience as you overcome adversity and keep trying. Eventually, you will get where you need to be. Powerful possibilities await you. Let me explain more. Call 0906 751 5607.

SCORPIO Oct 24 — Nov 22 PEOPLE aren’t perfect but they are all we’ve got. We either learn to love them and feel grateful for the respect, in turn, that they feel able to show us — or we sink into the kind of quagmire that is so often occupied by the disappointed and the disillusioned. How many faults can we find with the world, and with each other, if we set our minds to the task of thinking like a critic? This week need not be about nursing grievances. It can be about healing wounds, solving problems, building bridges and raising new, justified hopes. This week’s full moon has an inspiring message for you. Call 0906 751 5608.

SAGITTARIUS Nov 23 — Dec 21 YOU won’t, this week, find all your targets are easy to reach. There may even be moments when you find yourself wondering whether you should have set your sights on some other, more attainable, objectives. I mention this not to deter you, but in an effort to show support. You are a Sagittarian. Difficulties don’t daunt you. Don’t you spend much of your life questioning the ideas that others seem to think must be fully accepted in their entirety? Aren’t you often proven right when you are so bold? You will be proven right again. Find out how you can use the power of this week’s full moon. Call 0906 751 5609.

CAPRICORN Dec 22 — Jan 20 LAST week, I suggested you might be getting messages from fairies, angels or other ethereal beings. An ongoing alignment from Saturn to Neptune suggests you may still be receiving such subtle signs and signals. These wild and wonderful spirits will of course do their best to come across as sane and sensible. They may even try to put their words into the mouths of authority figures. But while last week’s guidance was good, this week you should be wary of ideas that may be more far-fetched than they first sound. For great news about how this full moon can change your life call: 0906 751 5610.

AQUARIUS Jan 21 — Feb 19 PEOPLE who work for others often dream of becoming their own boss. Poor souls. Somebody should tell them. No brutal bully, no tinpot despot, no tyrannical taskmaster will ever drive us as hard as we tend to drive ourselves. Our sense of duty conspires with our sense of anxiety to create an oppressive regime of self-discipline and control. Even when the self-employed take a break, they can’t get away from themselves! Who, or what, are you working for this week? Let’s hope the reward matches all that effort! The coming full moon brings the chance for positive change. Call 0906 751 5611.

PISCES Feb 20 — Mar 20 THINK, for a moment, about how you would feel if you really could solve all your problems this week. There would be a moment of elation, followed by a sense of deflation. We pit ourselves against our problems. We gain a sense of importance and self-worth when we rise to challenges. What if we find them hard to rise to? At least we still know who we are, what we are up against and why we can feel justified in our sense of frustration. You can and will solve problems this week, but you ought to pace yourself! You can tap into the power of this week’s full moon. Call 0906 751 5612.
