OSCAR CAINER

FOURTEEN years ago yesterday, a student in Massachusetts launched a website that changed the nature of relationships. It’s hard to escape the influence of Facebook. No one could have anticipated the huge success of Mark Zuckerberg’s creation — or the problems that would come from its success. Yesterday, Venus, the planet of love and money, aligned tensely with expansive Jupiter. Under this influence, whatever we value will grow. But it’s worth ensuring that it does so appropriately.

ARIES Mar 21 — Apr 20

CONGRATULATIONS are in order! You’ve made some very clear-cut decisions recently and now that you’ve started, you seem to be in ‘the zone’. Although you’ve got a tendency to dismiss your choices — and they had to be made — you’ve managed to be assertive while taking everyone’s views into account. You haven’t had to compromise on your ethical values either. Just because the view ahead isn’t crystal clear doesn’t mean that you’ve made a mistake. You’re about to be proved right.

TAURUS Apr 21 — May 21

JONATHAN used to dictate his forecasts while out walking, speaking into a headset microphone. I’m sure he looked quite mad at times. Once, he set off wrapped up in a poncho with his Peruvian hat and (perhaps unsurprisingly) received a number of peculiar looks. Which reminds me: your prediction today. You know every curve, intricacy and anomaly of a situation from the inside. But can you imagine how it looks from the outside? Stand back, take a breath and try to put yourself in someone else’s shoes. A rare portal now opens up in this magical time between eclipses. Discover what this means for you: call 0906 751 5602.

GEMINI May 22 — June 22

NOWADAYS, we’re so used to following satnavs that many of us have no sense of direction at all. We follow each instruction mechanically, one after the other, like a series of totally separate events. ‘Turn left.’ ‘Turn right.’ ‘Go straight ahead at the roundabout.’ Only when it all goes wrong do we realise that we are lost. It’s time to break free of rigid, unthinking habits, today. Opportunity is yours for the taking. Open your eyes. You’ll see that inspiration waits just around the corner. A rare portal now opens up in this magical time between eclipses. Discover what this means for you: call 0906 751 5603.

CANCER June 23 — July 23

And your journey’s set to be smooth — so long as you credit a new external discovery and a subsequent realisation with the significance they deserve. A rare portal now opens up in this magical time between eclipses. Discover what this means for you: call 0906 751 5604.

LEO July 24 — Aug 23

WHEN someone you care about is in trouble, there’s nothing you won’t do to help. You’re ready to make whatever sacrifice is needed. But when that person is you, you’re slower to show such conviction. Following the movements of Mercury and Venus in your opposite sign, it’s time to consider why you don’t think you deserve a better outcome to a challenging situation. You deserve to be in the best possible place now. Be brave and kind to yourself. Then everyone will benefit. A rare portal now opens up in this magical time between eclipses. Discover what this means for you, call 0906 751 5605.

VIRGO Aug 24 — Sep 23

CAREFUL planning is fine. But there’s also a thing called overthinking. And one can slip dangerously quickly into the other. It’s worthwhile, for instance, to prepare yourself before jumping into a freezing swimming pool. But the longer you agonise over doing it, the worse it becomes. This goes for more serious thinking, too. Deep down, you know that you made your decision a while ago. If it feels right, it’s better to jump straight in! If you encounter a challenging situation today, you can trust your gut reaction. A rare portal now opens up in this magical time between eclipses.

LIBRA Sep 24 — Oct 23

AS NOVELIST Charles Dickens had Mr Micawber exclaim in David Copperfield: ‘Procrastination is the thief of time.’ Except, that’s not always true. Rather than being an obstinate impulse to bury our heads in the sand, could we be simply listening to the subtle whispers of our inner wisdom? Perhaps, when we declare, ‘that’s it, I can’t be doing with this today’, something deep within is creating a delay for a good reason. But you’re brave enough to face your challenge now.

SCORPIO Oct 24 — Nov 22

IMAGINE that you wake up in a strange place. Not only do you have no idea where you are, but cars are flying overhead. Your intuition would tell you that you’ve woken up some time in the future. And maybe your instincts would help you to cope with this new challenge. But when faced with something beyond your frame of reference, it’s perhaps wiser to take a more pragmatic approach. Don’t discount your instinctive understanding, but be wise enough to consult your head as well as your heart. A rare portal now opens up in this magical time between eclipses. Discover what this means for you: call 0906 751 5608.

SAGITTARIUS Nov 23 — Dec 21

ARE you disguising your true motives? It’s as if you’re wearing a mask and assuming a role that’s making you tired and uncomfortable. Unless you’re in New Orleans for Mardis Gras, or Venice for the Masquerade Ball, there’s no need to hide. The run-up to Valentine’s Day is a time to speak your feelings and look for emotional truths. Mars in Sagittarius makes you as strong as any costumed crusader, but the bravest feat you can perform is to speak — and listen with an open heart.

CAPRICORN Dec 22 — Jan 20

THOUGH we all do it, the balancing act of keeping up appearances does little to maintain spiritual equilibrium. Which is why it’s time to question a recent shift in your priorities. It’s as if you’ve temporarily lost sight of something important and been distracted by the sparkle and shine of temporary connections. Appearances, of course, aren’t everything. Your sense of worth goes beyond just what you see and what you can bring to others, too. What can you now give to yourself? A rare portal now opens up in this magical time between eclipses. Discover what this means for you: call 0906 751 5610.

AQUARIUS Jan 21 — Feb 19

AS WE move through life, it’s easy to measure ourselves against other people’s definitions of success. But we all use different measurements. Things that make me happy won’t necessarily make you so — but does that lessen their value to me? Of course not! All that matters is you. How do you feel? If you’re pleased and proud of recent developments, then why should you care what other people think? This is your life. Own it, make it yours — and, above all, be proud of it. A rare portal now opens up in this magical time between eclipses. Discover what this means for you: call 0906 751 5611.

PISCES Feb 20 — Mar 20

IN MANY ways, we’re all like fish out of water. Every person alive is, after all, descended from aquatic creatures who decided that there was more to explore than the ocean. And this wasn’t a solo adventure either — or you’d be reading this under water. So, no matter how ‘out there’ you might feel, know that there’s someone who’s not only empathetic, but willing to join you on your journey. The journey that Venus is making can lead you to the ideal habitat you’d always imagined existed. A rare portal now opens up in this magical time between eclipses.
