OSCAR CAINER

THE original Star Wars films lack the impact they once had. When first released, they were a shockingly immersive spectacle, unlike anything else. My son, who’s used to spectacular video game graphics, doesn’t find them particularly thrilling. Yet, partly due to nostalgia and a good pun, ‘May The Fourth’ is still celebrated. As Mars links with Uranus, our desire for ‘new and exciting’ is strong. But for a risk to work, it needs an intelligent twist.

ARIES Mar 21 - Apr 20 DIFFICULT experiences aren’t always as challenging as we expect them to be. Sure, something we’re avoiding might look irritating but, once we start, it’s rarely as bad as we fear. Although I can’t promise you’re going to enjoy an upcoming task, the rewards that come your way will make it more than worth your while. As Mars, your ruler, links to innovative Uranus today, it enables you to investigate what’s motivating you. Capitalise on the insight you receive and things will be easier than expected. A new month! Venus, the planet of love, in your sign! A forecast that could transform your life! Call 0906 751 5601.

TAURUS Apr 21 - May 21 JUST how frightening would it be to wake up one morning, look in the mirror and see a different person reflected back at you? Actually, anyone who’s recently had a ‘big’ birthday might relate to that feeling! But what I actually mean is to imagine that someone’s carved a hole in your bathroom wall and placed their head where your mirror’s situated, and they’re mimicking your moves. You poke your tongue out, they poke out theirs back. As Uranus links to Mars, look carefully at what unfolds today. And don’t be fooled by silly antics. May is a transformative month. Take full advantage of the Super Lunar Eclipse energy. Call 0906 751 5602.

GEMINI May 22 - June 22 WE LEARN, from a young age that the relationship between truth and fiction is convoluted. Tooth fairies spring to mind. Similarly, the link between action and intention isn’t always straightforward. We all know people who say the right things without doing them. Some of them even make careers out of it! Their relationship to the truth is flexible. And they’re adept at avoiding tough questions. Someone in your world is making ‘pronouncements’. Just remember talk is cheap. It’s May! For news on how to benefit from the opportunities in the extraordinary cosmic climate, call 0906 751 5603.

CANCER June 23 - July 23 DEEP within the human psyche, we all have the potential to feel uncertain and alone. We might pretend we don’t, but we do. While it’s important to acknowledge our vulnerability, it’s also important not to spend too long staring into the abyss of anxiety. You’ve been in a situation that’s forced you to become aware of your fragility. That’s an uncomfortable feeling. But you’ve also been constructing a safety harness. As Mars links with Uranus, you’ll find the freedom to move away from what’s got you down. The Super Lunar Eclipse brings potential for positive change. Make this a month to remember. Call 0906 751 5604.

LEO July 24 - Aug 23 WHEN we’re running late, normal things seem to take an age. The usual traffic jams? Agony. A polite exchange of words? Eternal. If we only stopped to think about it, we’d realise our panic was warping our sense of reality. Sadly, we’re in too much of a rush to allow ourselves such a pragmatic thought process! As you close in on a long-held goal, don’t let your sense of urgency confuse what should be a straightforward run. You’ve done the hard work, now sit back and bask in the warmth of success. How can you benefit from May’s Super Lunar Eclipse? It can change your life. For good news, call 0906 751 5605.

VIRGO Aug 24 - Sep 23 WHICH of your achievements gives you a sense of pride and an inner glow? You’ve accomplished a lot. You’re a hard worker — and an inspirational colleague — so it’s no wonder you’ve established a reputation for being a success. It’s well deserved. Yet you’re more likely to push your trophies and awards to the back of the cupboard than display them. Nevertheless, a glance back at the hurdles you’ve overcome should be enough to stop you worrying about your current project. Stop doubting yourself. May’s Super Lunar Eclipse can create positive change. For valuable insight about the month ahead, call 0906 751 5606.

LIBRA Sep 24 - Oct 23 DO YOU have the power to make time stand still? Of course you do! Picture all the things you want to happen. Imagine all the changes you’d like to see. Now look around. Is anything any different? Exactly! You’ve made time stand still! Suppose you think back to how things used to be? Then consider how things have changed. Abracadabra! It’s as if you’ve speeded time up! I don’t mean to be facetious. I’m just pointing out you’ve got much more power over time than you think. Use it to your advantage. Take advantage of May’s cosmic climate. Problems can be solved more easily than you think. Call 0906 751 5607.

SCORPIO Oct 24 - Nov 22 THERE are so many laws and rules to abide by. For the people who break them, there are allotted punishments and fines. Sadly, the rewards for the people who comply aren’t so evident. There aren’t medals or cash prizes for those of us who make it through a day without breaking a single one. A quiet sense of satisfaction is probably the best we can hope for. You’re becoming aware of a problem you may face if you don’t take action. Be inspired to act for the best. Good things will happen if you do. Powerful changes are possible in May. The Super Lunar Eclipse brings cosmic gifts. Make the most of them! Call 0906 751 5608.

SAGITTARIUS Nov 23 - Dec 21 THE big question isn’t about what you need to do. It’s about what you ‘don’t’ need to do. You’re under pressure. What’s more, this is being intensified by the unreasonable expectation in your mind. You’ve made an assumption about the way things need to be, which means you think you need to take specific action. But, as Mars links to Uranus, there’s another, more innovative way to proceed. If you step back, you’ll see the situation in a new light. Fresh perspective is key. This month holds celestial inspiration; benefit from it and transform your life! For your May forecast, call 0906 751 5609.

CAPRICORN Dec 22 - Jan 20 WE ALL wish the best for one another. Surely everyone wants love, peace and forgiveness to be the emotions and desires that guide us? Why then, do these qualities remain so elusive? Is planet Earth populated by so many selfish people that we’re all discouraged? Are we all lowering our expectations and our standards to fit some kind of perceived ‘normal’? It’s easy to be critical of others (and ourselves). If you let go of a sense of disapproval today, you’ll see how much nicer the world becomes. The Super Lunar Eclipse holds potential for positive change. If you want to transform your life, call 0906 751 5610.

AQUARIUS Jan 21 - Feb 19 THE more status we attain, the harder it is to admit we don’t know something. People in positions of power think they should have an answer for everything. The idea of admitting ignorance makes them break out in a cold sweat … anything but that! They might be ridiculed. They might lose their responsibilities. You’re clever enough not to fall into that trap. But, as your ruler links to Mars, you might be in the company of someone whose attitude is based on fear. There’s so much to tell you about the astrological advantages May brings! You should hear your forecast. Call 0906 751 5611.

PISCES Feb 20 - Mar 20 THINGS aren’t working out as you thought they would. But does that really matter? You’ve been longing for change. Now, you’re starting to see that change has been hovering nearby for a while. Actually, although you thought you were going to have to make a physical alteration, it’s becoming clear you just needed to embrace something about your situation that you’ve failed to appreciate. That’s in the process of happening now. If you’re not yet feeling pleased about what’s occurring, you soon will be. May brings a powerful Super Lunar Eclipse! For your hope-giving, worry-quashing month-ahead forecast, call 0906 751 5612.
