OSCAR CAINER

Hi Oscar, did you know George Lucas reputedly consulted an astrologer to find the best date to release Star Wars? John Hi John, although i suspect that Lucas’s talent would have shone through regardless, it’s usually wise to check our intentions aren’t ‘at war’ with the stars! after all, U.S. financier J.P. Morgan’s well-documented interest in astrology is probably why the quote ‘Millionaires don’t use astrology, billionaires do’ is attributed to him. Perhaps the advice Lucas received helped his own star to burn just a little more brightly. Oscar

ARIES Mar 21 — Apr 20

MANY great films, novels and pieces of music have fake endings; you think you’ve reached the climax then, just when it seems as if everything has been resolved, your emotions are cranked up and off you go again; the violins have one more frenetic finale. I think you know why I’m mentioning this! The drama you thought you’d put to bed is still unfolding. Yet, it’s not building up to a difficult ending. As the tension soon begins to dissipate, you’ll see why this extra scene was so necessary. Do yourself a favour and treat yourself. There’s exciting news in your latest, fourminute forecast. Call 0906 751 5601.

TAURUS Apr 21 — May 21

WHEN a problem is hypothetical, it only needs a hypothetical solution; which is why you can take a more relaxed approach to a seemingly challenging situation today. It’s only what ‘could’ happen that’s causing you stress. Of course, there’s wisdom in pre-empting a problem, but there’s little point in devoting your energy to something that only ‘might’ appear on the horizon. As the Sun squares Neptune today, your imaginative powers are strong. Use them to win battles rather than create them. To hear how your life could change for the better soon, call your latest week-ahead forecast: 0906 751 5602.

GEMINI May 22 — June 22

SPONTANEITY is one of your gifts. You adapt to situations with ease. Being tied to a set of rules makes life hard work — especially when they relate to social situations and etiquette. So, with circumstances contriving to put you under pressure to moderate your behaviour, you’re bound to be feeling uncertain about your commitment to a certain event. You’ve had to limit your natural enthusiasm. Yet, if you use your imagination, you can gain much from this situation. Do yourself a favour and treat yourself. There’s exciting news in your latest, four-minute forecast. Call 0906 751 5603.

CANCER June 23 — July 23

IF WE were to name the theme running through your life at the moment, it would be about power. You find yourself with points to prove and fights to win. It’s about taking power, giving it, wanting it and offering it to others. Yet, if you want to be certain that you’re making good choices now, you need to find a different model to work with. It’s the power of compassion. If you can find a way to give your power away lovingly, a space will appear and you’ll realise what you really need to focus on.

LEO July 24 — Aug 23

IT’S TIME to change tactics and find a gentler approach to resolve a delicate situation. You’ve tried to articulate your point of view in a clear way. You’ve attempted to move resolutely forward. Now, though, if you’re still feeling the need to shake a fist, it’s time to cloak it in a velvet glove surreptitiously. It’s unlikely that you can resolve this scenario without any drama. But as your ruler squares Neptune, you can blend emphatic actions and conversations with sensitivity. Do yourself a favour and treat yourself. There’s exciting news in your latest, four-minute forecast. Call 0906 751 5605.

VIRGO Aug 24 — Sep 23

AS ALICE noted in Wonderland, the world sometimes seems to get curiouser and curiouser. As the Sun forms a square with Neptune, there appear to be several aspects of your life that have taken unexpected turns. Much of what seemed to be in order suddenly makes no sense. Though an onlooker might suspect that perhaps you’re being over-sensitive, it’s true that you find yourself in a ridiculous situation. Keep your sense of humour, stay calm and watch. A brilliant opportunity is close at hand. To hear how your life could change for the better soon, call your latest week-ahead forecast: 0906 751 5606.

LIBRA Sep 24 — Oct 23

THE idea of being wise holds so much potential that you’d think we’d all be searching for it. But wisdom isn’t easy to acquire. It’s one of those rare commodities, like love, which cannot be bought. Even with time, self-sacrifice and life experience, there’s no guarantee that any of us will end up with it. It seems to involve having the courage to stand up for principles we care about, and having the strength to swim against the trend. Today, valuable insights and wise moments are coming your way. Do yourself a favour and treat yourself. There’s exciting news in your latest, four-minute forecast. Call 0906 751 5607.

SCORPIO Oct 24 — Nov 22

YOUR Sherlock Holmes-like powers of perception mean that you have been wondering about the truth that lies behind a certain situation. A gut feeling suggests that all is not how it’s meant to be. You’ve scratched beneath the surface and made a couple of discoveries which have confirmed your suspicions and led to the discovery of at least one obfuscated truth. If you hold this point clear in your mind now, and work with the information you’ve uncovered, you can initiate a valuable change today. To hear how your life could change for the better soon, call your latest week-ahead forecast: 0906 751 5608.

SAGITTARIUS Nov 23 — Dec 21

MANY of the factors we use to define ourselves change over time. Like our relationships, where we live, our favourite foods and what we do in our spare time. This means that none of us is completely sure of who we are. This, in turn, leads to an underlying sense of insecurity which causes us to hold tightly on to things. As a key relationship begins to change, you may be starting to feel vulnerable. Yet, this is a drama that will eventually make you stronger and wiser. Do yourself a favour and treat yourself. There’s exciting news in your latest, four-minute forecast. Call 0906 751 5609.

CAPRICORN Dec 22 — Jan 20

IT’S not easy to distinguish between the things that make sense in your life and those that don’t, especially when you’re having problems in a situation that should be straightforward. Normal communication patterns seem to have gone astray, which is both frustrating and dispiriting. You’ve put a lot of time and effort into this. Yet it’s part of a crucial process of getting to grips with the essence of what’s wrong — and will enable you to do what’s really right. Keep looking and the solution will come.

AQUARIUS Jan 21 — Feb 19

BEING an Aquarian, you’re blessed with a powerful imagination. It’s more than thinking outside the box; when the situation requires extra flair and creativity, you question the actual existence of the box! Even though your skills can be problematic to people who prefer to keep lids firmly fitted, your ingenuity is one of your blessings. The arrangement that you’re questioning, though, may be better left alone. Sometimes the status quo has a purpose. Do yourself a favour and treat yourself.
