JONATHAN CAINER

ARIES Mar 21 — Apr 20 DO YOU really want to hear an explanation? Are you seriously interested in the whys and wherefores? Will you trust everything you are told or do you still suspect something remains unaccounted for? You don’t really want to know why someone important thinks your objective is unattainable. Despite evidence to the contrary, you just want to feel that somehow, if you remain determined enough, you can turn things around this weekend. As a matter of fact, you may yet find that you can. Don’t let Friday the 13th be unlucky for you. The forecast Jonathan left for you could change your life. Call 0906 751 5601.

TAURUS Apr 21 — May 21 MERCURY, the winged messenger, today touches paths with Venus, planet of love. Need I say more? That’s not love, as in love and goodwill to all. That’s ‘lurve’, as in Barry White. That’s smooth and sexy, stylish and attractive. The secret yearning you have struggled to explain or understand is starting to make more sense to you and to the rest of the world. Though following your heart may be easier to say than do, you have cosmic help on your side. Do it, and the results will be tangible. It may be Friday the 13th, but Jonathan left priceless information for you in your week-ahead forecast. Call 0906 751 5602.

GEMINI May 22 — June 22 ‘I WRITE the songs that make the whole world sing, I write the songs of love and special things...’ So sang Barry Manilow. There is something epic and exciting about the situation you find yourself in. It is worthy of a big ballad, an orchestral arrangement, even a book and a movie. Though you may be feeling overwhelmed, the songs that top the charts are never about mundane matters. Concentrate on what ‘feels’ right. The sky is offering you something to sing about. Don’t let Friday the 13th be unlucky for you. The forecast Jonathan left for you could change your life. Call 0906 751 5603.

CANCER June 23 — July 23 ‘THERE ain’t no cure for the summertime blues.’ Nor, for that matter, for the wintertime depression. Life has its ups and downs just as surely as it has its seasons. We can’t change that, but we can accept and adapt to the climate we face. When we do, the blues aren’t so blue. The downs aren’t so deep and they don’t last as long. What really creates stress is a desire

Jonathan was preparing readings in advance before his death last week. over the coming days we will continue publishing those he was planning. We are also sharing Jonathan’s inspiring quotes. today, from May 2002: ‘the purpose of life is not to get from a to B. try telling that, though, to someone on a journey. the purpose of life is not to pay the rent. those with financial difficulties may think otherwise. When we lack something, we rapidly lose perspective. We feel we will never rest until we achieve our objective. are you attaching too much importance to something that is ultimately irrelevant?’

to avoid the inevitable. Embrace it instead and you’ll be smiling in no time. Allow yourself to dance when faced with the music. It may be Friday the 13th, but Jonathan left priceless information for you in your week-ahead forecast. Call 0906 751 5604.

LEO July 24 — Aug 23 ‘THE most happy marriage I can picture or imagine to myself would be the union of a deaf man to a blind woman.’ So said Samuel Taylor Coleridge in one of his less politically correct moments. But the author of The Rime Of The Ancient Mariner lived in another era. Perhaps we can forgive him if we search for a deeper meaning. There is a way in which two difficult issues in your life can cancel each other out. Ultimately, this will be good for you — and your love life. Let your heart be playful. Don’t let Friday the 13th be unlucky for you. The forecast Jonathan left for you could change your life. Call 0906 751 5605.

VIRGO Aug 24 — Sep 23 EVERYONE is prone to romantic flights of fancy and you are no exception. Idealistic, romantic thoughts are a part of what makes you — you. And though intellect and love aren’t always thought of as soulmates, you are the exception that proves the rule. Today’s link between Venus and Mercury gives you an opportunity to express what is truly in your heart. Be brave, be fearless. By reaching within and bravely stepping forward, you’ll move closer to someone or something than you dared dream. It may be Friday the 13th, but Jonathan left priceless information for you in your week-ahead forecast. Call 0906 751 5606. LIBRA Sep 24 — Oct 23 IT’S EASY to underestimate the importance of key relationships. It’s easier to assume you are on your own — or that no one cares. Especially now, as you struggle with a difficult task or dilemma. A little assistance would go a long way. Some understanding would make all the difference. As Mercury transits your ruler today don’t expect a little — expect a lot. Love, support and co-operation are exactly what you need and deserve. If you reach out, you will find help. Don’t let Friday the 13th be unlucky for you. The forecast Jonathan left for you could change your life. Call 0906 751 5607.

SCORPIO Oct 24 — Nov 22 YOU’RE on the right track. You’ve been clearing out all the cobwebs on the top shelves of the cluttered cupboards in your mind. This is not an easy thing to do. It’s much simpler to keep the doors closed and leave the spiders to weave their webs in peace. But the space you are gaining is significant. It’s creating room for hope and optimism. A new way of seeing an old problem would never have had room to exist if you hadn’t done all that hard work. Look out for it. It may be Friday the 13th, but Jonathan left priceless information for you in your week-ahead forecast. Call 0906 751 5608.

SAGITTARIUS Nov 23 — Dec 21 PITY the company that sold Methuselah his pension plan! But why do they always paint him with a long beard? If you were going to live for so long you’d have plenty of time to shave. A happy life is better than an eternal life. We are not here forever, which is why we should make our time count. Let’s talk about the compromise you’re half-tempted to make. Is it a bridge too far or the best way out of trouble? You know the answer already! Don’t let Friday the 13th be unlucky for you. The forecast Jonathan left for you could change your life. Call 0906 751 5609.

CAPRICORN Dec 22 — Jan 20 HOW many digits do you have on your hands? Are there ten? Are you sure? Hold up your left hand and work from your little finger to your thumb. We’ll go backwards, shall we? 10, 9,8, 7, 6. OK. Now go forward on the right hand. 1,2, 3, 4, 5. Let’s add those two numbers together. Ta-da! Indisputable mathematical proof that you have 11 fingers and thumbs. I offer you this old playground trick for a reason. Somewhere in your world, similarly dodgy logic is being applied. Watch out! It may be Friday the 13th, but Jonathan left priceless information for you in your weekahead forecast. Call 0906 751 5610.

AQUARIUS Jan 21 — Feb 19 IT DOESN’T always have to be you with the hard hat and machete carving a path forward while everyone else mills around, unsure of what to do. Sometimes the people standing around watching are doing so for a reason. They may know of some quicksand ahead and it’s their way of showing you. Today’s link between Mercury and Venus suggests there is something to learn about your desires. Try listening to those you love. They’ll say something worth hearing. Don’t let Friday the 13th be unlucky for you. The forecast Jonathan left for you could change your life. Call 0906 751 5611.

PISCES Feb 20 — Mar 20 THE government of Tibet in exile make all their decisions through divination. What a shame our local politicians can’t learn from this excellent example. No more long, tedious speeches about the ‘issues’, no more petty point-scoring over policies. No voting, no lobbying. Just a couple of dice and a pen. The number that comes up reveals the route that must be taken. Are you risking too much on a random win? Actually, you are being very well favoured by the forces of fate and fortune.
