OSCAR CAINER

SECOND chances are often described as ‘another bite of the cherry’. But I’ve never seen a cherry so big that it needs more than one bite! Yet, no matter the size of the meal, the Sun’s recent convergence with retrograde

Venus brings a chance to return for second helpings of something sweet. Would that be too much of a good thing? It’s a risk we’ll have to take! With a creative change to the recipe, we can find an appetite for more delights.

ARIES Mar 21 - Apr 20 THE planet Mars. Where there’s no water, there’s no chance of life. Well… that’s what we’re taught. But research shows it was once wetter and warmer — which would make it more hospitable. Who knows with total certainty what might be lying within its rocks and craters? Someone in your world is making statements with such authority it’s hard to question their wisdom. Yet there’s a good chance they’re basing their views on guesswork. Let no one overrule your instincts today.

TAURUS Apr 21 - May 21 HUMAN beings are generally a polite bunch. We will go out of our way to stick to arrangements, even if greatly inconvenient. We pelt from stations just to arrive on time for a meeting. We honour our commitments, even when we disadvantage ourselves. If someone says ‘jump’, we ask ‘how high?’ Even when we suspect that other people have got something wrong, we don’t question their reasoning. Today, though, is not a day for treading on eggshells. Too much is at stake. Say what needs to be said.

GEMINI May 22 - June 22 I’M REMINDED of the old song about a hole in a bucket. Henry moans to Liza ‘there’s a hole in my bucket’ and she tells him to fix it. Henry’s completely fazed by the complexity of the problem and, verse after verse, Liza comes up with new solutions. Eventually, though, it turns out he needs a bucket of water to fix the bucket. Aargh! Although you’re dealing with a problem that seems surprisingly hard to fix, you don’t need to seek anyone’s advice. You’ll find the resources to sort it out today. New! Your four-minute forecast for 2022. It’s going to be a better year than you think. Find out why: 0906 751 5603.

CANCER June 23 - July 23 THE past is a closed book. We can’t change it. No matter how much we try, the hands of time won’t turn back. We can spend our days looking behind us, regretting choices we’ve made. But what’s done is done. It’s by acknowledging our feelings and being open to learning that we come as close as we can to rewriting history. And, if we guide the people around us away from making similar mistakes, we not only influence the past but the future, too. You can share invaluable personal experience.

Don’t miss out. Your year-ahead forecast and your financial outlook for 2022 are ready. For good news, call 0906 751 5604.

LEO July 24 - Aug 23 FROM washing machines to car engines, humble ball bearings are essential components in our machinery. I once read that these small polished spheres are manufactured by rolling chunks of metal around together in a big tub, so that they eventually rub off each other’s corners. It might not be true, but it’s a helpful image for you. If you find yourself being forced to rub alongside someone who rubs you up the wrong way, be patient. The experience will smooth your sharper edges — and theirs. 2022 is a year of positive transformation. The planets are working in your favour. Call 0906 751 5605.

VIRGO Aug 24 - Sep 23 AS SOMEONE who has high standards and ideals, it can be frustrating living in a world full of less scrupulous individuals. For most people, cutting the occasional corner is par for the course. Who cares if you ignore a minor wrong, or turn a blind eye to someone else’s plight? Is it really your problem? You find that kind of attitude hard to understand. What sort of person would you be if you failed to do whatever you could to help? Far be it from me to tell you otherwise. But, remember today that it’s also important to look after you. 2022 begins with exciting celestial fireworks. To maximise their inspiring energy, call: 0906 751 5606.

LIBRA Sep 24 - Oct 23 IN THEORY, it’s the taking part that counts. This isn’t just a theory used to console those who don’t cross the finishing line first. It’s a statement that recognises a fundamental fact. When you’ve gone down as far as you can, there’s only one direction left — up. And vice versa. As you move further into 2022, what you really need is stability rather than success. The ability to not really mind what happens, yet to be inspired. If you remain objective today, you’ll easily overcome any small hurdles to happiness. A New Year! A new start. Find out what 2022 has in store for you in your year-ahead forecast. Call 0906 751 5607.

SCORPIO Oct 24 - Nov 22 HOW are you supposed to know what you need to know? The only thing you know for sure is that you need an answer. If you only knew the right question to ask, you’d at least be confident that you were heading in the right direction. While questioning everything might feel like a scattergun approach (and could put certain people’s backs up), there’s no harm in gently investigating several different lines of enquiry. Actually, you’ll uncover information that helps everyone involved in a complex scenario. Will you be happier and wealthier in 2022? For your inspiring forecast for the year ahead, call 0906 751 5608.

SAGITTARIUS Nov 23 - Dec 21 GOOD chess players have great problem-solving skills. They can assess potential weaknesses and strengths and plan their moves accordingly. Although some Sagittarians are excellent at this game of strategy, you don’t lead your life by making calculated decisions. In fact, you don’t particularly enjoy anticipating what’s round the next corner, let alone the one after that. You like to be spontaneous. If you don’t want to see the obvious answer, you’ll have to find a way to distract yourself! 2022 is going to be transformative. Find out how to make the most of the excellent cosmic climate. Call 0906 751 5609.

CAPRICORN Dec 22 - Jan 20 JUST as our feet don’t fit into the shoes we used to wear when we were little, our tastes evolve so that we don’t want to wear the clothes we wore as teenagers. Given how much we grow out of, why should our opinions and beliefs be any different? As we learn more about the world, these evolve and grow, too. We become less idealistic. We move on and, with hindsight, can see how experience has benefited us. You’re becoming aware of how your attitude is changing. That’s a sign of your adaptability.

New! Your four-minute forecast for 2022. There’s great news for you in your yearahead prediction. Call 0906 751 5610.

AQUARIUS Jan 21 - Feb 19 PEOPLE aren’t always generous for the right reasons. Sometimes, they give because they feel guilty or want to impress. Sometimes, it’s because they hope their gesture will inspire other people to give back to them; there’s a secret selfishness behind their unselfish act. What matters in your world now, is that you’re honest and authentic. Don’t worry about what’s motivating anyone else. As long as you’re acting with integrity, you’re doing the right thing. Be true to yourself today. The new year has started in spectacular style. To take advantage of the power of the heavens, call 0906 751 5611.

PISCES Feb 20 - Mar 20 WE OFTEN say things are impossible when they’re not. Undesirable, is often more accurate. If we’re willing to put the effort in, extraordinary things can be done when enough people are determined enough. Even as individuals, we’re capable of much more than we realise. And we’re all entitled to work the occasional miracle. If you’re facing a situation that seems ‘impossible’, focus on what you can change. By altering one aspect, you’ll create a movement that leads to a transformation.

We’re settling into a new year and a new beginning. Get off to a perfect start. Call your year-ahead forecast: 0906 751 5612.
