OSCAR CAINER

This week, there is a theme to the astrological activity. Today, the sun trines Uranus, the modern ruler of Aquarius, hot on the heels of saturn changing direction. With a Full Moon on the celestial horizon, also in Aquarius, we have a particularly quirky

ARIES Mar 21 — Apr 20

YESTERDAY, I warned you might be about to exit the frying pan in exchange for the not-so-comforting fire. But I also suggested this wasn’t a change in circumstance that need worry you. There are changes that you need to make now, are there not? And if you’re not happy with a situation, you’re unlikely to pine for it even if the new one proves just as trying. Keep that in mind today. Your first attempt may not provide you with the relief you seek, nor the second. But your efforts are not in vain. Your life can improve between now and the September Eclipse. For your LATEST Moon-sign forecast, call 0906 751 5601.

TAURUS Apr 21 — May 21

SOME things never change. Others will never stay the same. This much we know. We cannot always be sure, though, what falls into which category. You think you know where you stand, but there’s an element of doubt. Good. Too much security breeds arrogance or apathy. As the Sun trines Uranus, and Venus prepares to trine Pluto, you may not be able to solve every problem in an instant. But at least you can see the difference between what matters and what just appears to matter. Give that a try today. There’s a Full Moon and your NEW spookily accurate Moon-sign forecast is ready. Will it change your life? It just might: 0906 751 5602.

GEMINI May 22 — June 22

MOST of us look for friends who are like-minded. We appreciate being able to air views in a receptive environment, free of any requirement to back everything we say, citing sources or definitive proof. But there are others for whom this sort of interaction is good sport. For whom the rough and tumble of claim and counter-claim is what makes a peer group so important. Today, if you’re challenged by your companions, don’t be affronted. Use it to show off your intellectual dexterity. Your life can improve between now and the September Eclipse. For your LATEST Moon-sign forecast, call 0906 751 5603.

CANCER June 23 — July 23

CERTAIN songs infuriate me. They are inevitably cover songs, often a performance of a classic that I hold dear. I’m not offended by the fact that someone has created a tribute to an important cultural work. It’s when it’s done with no attempt to add anything new. If the artist contributes no fresh ideas to the material, but merely apes a greater effort from a better time, I become irate. This isn’t artistry, it’s karaoke. You can now begin to refresh a situation. Put your own stamp on it! There’s a Full Moon and your NEW spookily-accurate Moon-sign forecast is ready. Will it change your life? It just might: 0906 751 5604.

LEO July 24 — Aug 23

YESTERDAY, I urged you to be patient. But there comes a time when even the most tranquil Buddhist monk or the stoniest-faced Queen’s Guard must drop the stoical façade and admit they’re as bothered by irritations as the rest of us. You, like most of us, are probably no monk, after all! But there’s a difference between snapping at breaking point and recognising the moment when change is possible then grabbing that opportunity. Today, the difference you can make is worth the action you can take. Your life can improve between now and the September Eclipse. For your LATEST Moonsign forecast, call 0906 751 5605.

VIRGO Aug 24 — Sep 23

THE hardest actions to forgive are those taken against our explicit warning. When those closest to us dismiss our counsel as irrelevant, our emotional well-being as sacrificial, or our motives as impure, it isn’t easy to remain open hearted when the inevitable happens and they return to us contrite. Yet, while it’s virtuous to forgive, it isn’t motive enough on its own! Forgiveness frees us from negativity that restricts happiness. Forgive now if you can — but do it for yourself. There’s a Full Moon and your NEW spookily-accurate Moon-sign forecast is ready. Will it change your life? It just might: 0906 751 5606.

LIBRA Sep 24 — Oct 23

I CHALLENGED the ‘never apologise, never explain’ philosophy yesterday. I wanted to suggest that, in the enlightened 21st century, we can move on from this way of operating and that we owe each other more honesty. But there are times when it makes sense to be reticent. When there’s a chance we may be too quick to apologise for (or explain) something we haven’t done! As Uranus and the Sun trine, the action you take has a noble purpose. Don’t regret it before it has a chance to become worthwhile. Your life can improve between now and the September Eclipse. For your LATEST Moon-sign forecast, call 0906 751 5607.

SCORPIO Oct 24 — Nov 22

ASK a stupid question and you get a stupid answer, or so they say. But, sometimes, we need to voice a question that risks embarrassment before we’re able to make a decision. There are parts of your life you seem almost too afraid to address. Situations you are unable to extract yourself from, purely because of a worry about the way it might look to others. But the question is: what image does it project if you remain unhappily seated when the call to stand up arrives? That call is coming. Be ready! There’s a Full Moon and your NEW spookily accurate Moon-sign forecast is ready. Will it change your life? It just might: 0906 751 5608.

SAGITTARIUS Nov 23 — Dec 21

WE TAKE too much at face value. If something looks like a duck, walks like a duck and quacks once in a while, we rarely stop to wonder if, in fact, it might be an animatronic device in a duck suit. Unless we set out to catch it and cook it, we may never notice the difference. As Jupiter makes a tense angle with the Sun, there’s a question mark over a philosophy you hold dear. You could wait till the last moment to test it, but a current opportunity for a cautious experiment might be worth taking. Your life can improve between now and the September Eclipse. For your LATEST Moon-sign forecast, call 0906 751 5609.

CAPRICORN Dec 22 — Jan 20

REGRET is a by-product of the benefit of hindsight. We can all look back and see times when we could have better handled a situation. But it’s not just the accumulation of knowledge that allows answers to be seen more clearly. It’s the absence of tears and tantrums, too. When we face difficult decisions, emotions can colour our judgment. This is not necessarily wrong. Compassion should be a factor in every decision. But it’s important that our hearts and heads rule in tandem. Make sure they do today. There’s a Full Moon and your NEW spookily accurate Moon-sign forecast is ready. Will it change your life? It just might: 0906 751 5610.

AQUARIUS Jan 21 — Feb 19

YESTERDAY, I suggested that, when you lead by example, others are more likely to follow. The title of ‘role model’ is a heavy crown to bear. Even more so for those in the public eye, as the level of scrutiny to which we subject our leaders grows ever higher. But in all walks of life, it is increasingly hard to remain a private person. Still, we should not hold ourselves to impossible standards. And we shouldn’t dismiss an idea from an imperfect source. You can be the light that guides the way. Your life can improve between now and the September Eclipse. For your LATEST Moon-sign forecast, call 0906 751 5611.

PISCES Feb 20 — Mar 20

A SPIRITUAL teacher watches a great play being performed. He hears someone impressed by the artistry saying: ‘Imagine the imagination of the person who imagined this.’ The teacher turns to his students and says: ‘Imagine the imagination of the great power that imagined the person who then imagined all this.’ As the Sun makes a tense angle to one of the zodiac’s great teachers, Chiron, remember that, behind whatever force impresses or intimidates you, there’s an even stronger force. It’s on your side. There’s a Full Moon and your NEW spookily accurate Moon-sign forecast is ready. Will it change your life? It just might: 0906 751 5612.
