OSCAR CAINER

SEVERAL studies link the type of music we like to specific character traits ... So I wonder if certain signs favour particular bands? Do Aries choose Rammstein, while Leos favour Kings Of Leon? And what about my liking for Mongolian throat singers! Following the Venus/Saturn link, we can resist pressure to change what we love in order to please others, and acknowledge the structure we need to allow our beauty to flourish.

ARIES Mar 21 - Apr 20 ARE you dealing with a problem? Well, if you’re planning on spending today focused on a challenging situation, you’ll definitely have a problem on your hands; but the problem is you’re giving too much energy to a problem. Sometimes, the best way to solve a conundrum is to allow yourself time to let your mind wander. Sooner or later, an inner light bulb will illuminate, and you’ll know what you need to do. Try it. The solution you seek is within easy reach, you just need to allow it time to reveal itself.

TAURUS Apr 21 - May 21 SOME people seem to have a small army of guardian angels at their beck and call. It’s hardly fair is it? Surely there should be some kind of treaty that decrees equal treatment for everyone? Why should they get so much attention while your celestial helper seems to be on holiday? Yet suppose the angels are morally bound to help each other and, when one is overwhelmed, the others (including yours) go to help. You’re near the top of their priority list. Meanwhile, you can cope with what’s on your plate. Just four minutes on the phone could change your life. For your latest week-ahead forecast, call 0906 751 5602.

GEMINI May 22 - June 22 I ONCE ran all the way up a downwards-moving escalator. It’s not as hard as it looks. If you’re really looking for a challenge, you need to be wearing high heels, carry a load of heavy books and be having a serious conversation at the same time. To add to the pressure, throw in a few people watching you disapprovingly. It’s true you’re dealing with a challenging situation. Yet, whether it’s harder or easier than doing all of the above, as long as you stay determined, you’ll make it to the top. Your week-ahead forecast is jam-packed full of important news. For an in-depth guide, call 0906 751 5603.

CANCER June 23 - July 23 I’M SO pleased to see you here; thank you for choosing me. Before I can accept your custom, I need to conduct a quick audit of your needs and expectations; I can’t just tell you that everything’s going to be wonderful and send you on your way, confident that you’ll return.

Although it might tick your box for now, in a few days’ time, if the prediction hasn’t been fulfilled, you won’t be happy.

Find out how to maximize your luck. Call 0906 751 5604.

LEO July 24 - Aug 23 DETERMINED not to be walked on, some people pull on a pair of heavy metaphorical boots. They’re convinced that attack is the best form of defence and just a hint of being asked to do something they don’t want to do has them stomping about. Yet isn’t the best way to defend ourselves to be so open-hearted and adaptable that no one would need to boss us around? It might sound idealistic, but if you’re guided by this philosophy, and are your generous best, you’ll strengthen an unlikely bond. For great news on the positive progress you can make this week, call your latest four-minute forecast: 0906 751 5605.

VIRGO Aug 24 - Sep 23 WE TEND to underestimate our natural talent. Because it comes without effort, we assume that everyone else can do it, too. Even when it becomes apparent that other people don’t have the same abilities, we still don’t appreciate our own skills. Is this true humility? Or could it be a failure to be suitably grateful to the cosmos for having bestowed a special gift on us? That’s something to think about. Consider, too, the possibility that, with the Sun in your sign, you can work a miracle that no one else is capable of. Just four minutes on the phone could change your life. For your latest week-ahead forecast, call 0906 751 5606.

LIBRA Sep 24 - Oct 23 ‘SEASONS may change, winter to spring’, sang Ewan McGregor in the smash-hit musical Moulin Rouge. And change they do. But seldom overnight. We don’t go to bed one day with snow banking up on the rooftops and wake to blossom coming into bloom. There’s a process, an evolution, a messy patch in the middle, when we’re unsure which season we’re in and whether we need an umbrella (or not). Although you may think you’ve read the writing on the wall, a little more detail can only help. Your week-ahead forecast is jam-packed full of important news. For an in-depth guide, call 0906 751 5607.

SCORPIO Oct 24 - Nov 22 IT’S easy to forget, when we’re inundated by celebrity stories, that there’s more to life than success. Our world shouldn’t revolve around numbers in bank accounts. Money doesn’t make the world go round and materialism doesn’t bring lasting happiness to anybody. Sure, it might be nice to buy expensive clothes and eat in fancy restaurants, but would that mean anything if you didn’t have people to share it with? Something exciting is evolving in the corner of your world that matters most. There’s excitement in the skies in a week of celestial action. Find out how to maximize your luck. Call 0906 751 5608.

SAGITTARIUS Nov 23 - Dec 21 THE jokes children tell each other these days are very similar to the ones we used to share at the same age. As we become adults our language changes and we don’t find the same things funny any more. As we alter and adapt, we learn to modify ourselves and change our behaviour so that it’s more ‘appropriate’ for our years. Today brings a reminder that even though you may lack power in one area of your life, in another you have plenty. Draw on what you used to know. For great news on the positive progress you can make this week, call your latest four-minute forecast: 0906 751 5609.

CAPRICORN Dec 22 - Jan 20 YOU don’t know it, but you’re in a ‘fly-on-the-wall’ TV show. And . . . you’ve got the starring role. You’re the fly, the wall is your life, and your eyes are the cameras. Today’s exciting instalment is going to be memorable. The director’s given you special dispensation and you have the power to change your script. Best of all, it gets better, not because you can use your imagination, but because you discover a new aspect of reality that proves most pleasing. Keep the cameras rolling. Just four minutes on the phone could change your life. For your latest week-ahead forecast, call 0906 751 5610.

AQUARIUS Jan 21 - Feb 19 ARE your thoughts the thoughts you ought to think? How are you meant to know? If you can tell which thoughts you should think (and which you shouldn’t), is that OK? And how do you distinguish your thoughts from what someone else wants you to think? On top of that, whose thoughts are right? Where do the mind games end and where does independent analysis begin? If this sounds confusing, you’re doing well. Today, the important things are clear. The answer you want is simple. Your week-ahead forecast is jam-packed full of important news. For an in-depth guide, call 0906 751 5611.

PISCES Feb 20 - Mar 20 WHERE are all the sensible, ‘normal’ people we hear about? Where do they live? Who are they… and what do they do with their lives? Do they actually exist? Maybe they’ve all found one another and moved to a secret location from which they emerge, from time to time, to tell the rest of us of why we’re being too silly. Yet that wouldn’t be normal at all! Be aware of whose standards you’re judging yourself by today. Although you may have made an impulsive decision, you’re about to see evidence of why it was the right one. There’s excitement in the skies in a week of celestial action. Find out how to maximize your luck. Call 0906 751 5612.
