OSCAR CAINER

THE lyric from Soul II Soul’s classic song, ‘Back to life, back to reality’, springs to mind as retrograde Mercury returns to Taurus after its weekend dalliance with the Sun. Although this cosmic move might feel a bit like coming back down to earth, there’s no fear of a crash landing. We’re being encouraged to focus on the substance of an idea, and to work out how to move difficult situations forwards in positive ways.

ARIES Mar 21 - Apr 20

SELF-DOUBT. It’s a state some people fall into too easily. The mere suggestion of a mistake is enough to make them go back to the drawing board. Other folk are so self-assured that they plough on, regardless of whether they’ve misjudged a situation or committed an outright error. You’ve got a suspicion you’ve made a miscalculation, which is tricky because other people are depending on your leadership. Suppose you are wrong? Well, it’s not impossible. But, as you’re about to see, it’s unlikely. You’ve got lots to look forward to. Find inspiration in your latest four-minute forecast. Call 0906 751 5601.

TAURUS Apr 21 - May 21

IF PATIENCE is a virtue, what are we supposed to make of folk filled with vim, vigour and dynamism? Are they wrong? Dangerous even? Of course not. It’s easy to overlook the energy and innovation required to change our world. From commercial airlines to microwaves, the desire to broaden our horizons and save time has been the driving force behind many of the inventions we take for granted. Although you can be patient, if you make some bold adjustments, the plan you’ve devoted so much time to will work. Even if you don’t usually call your in-depth prediction, you should hear the inspiring news. Call 0906 751 5602.

GEMINI May 22 - June 22

IT’S MUCH easier to be weak than it is to be strong. Imagine how different life would be if it was the opposite way round? Yet you’re more than capable of coping with challenges. You’re almost more comfortable when you’re dealing with difficulties than you are when things are running smoothly. As your retrograde ruler Mercury leaves your sign and returns to earthy Taurus, it provides a chance to revisit a problem and offers a pragmatic slant to find a satisfyingly simple solution. In a time of celestial creativity, you can transform your life. Your week-ahead forecast is packed with news. Call 0906 751 5603.

CANCER June 23 - July 23

YOU’RE quietly courageous. You try to do the right thing, no matter how hard it might be. But morality is complicated. One society’s notion of justice is another’s idea of punishment. The line between ‘right’ and ‘wrong’ isn’t fixed, it’s variable. Yet most of us have an inbuilt code that guides us to make good decisions. If you’re unsure, listen to your inner voice. Deep down, you know what needs to be done. A small step, taken with consideration today, has the power to change everything. You can use the exceptional celestial energy to create positive change. For valuable insight and news, call 0906 751 5604.

LEO July 24 - Aug 23

SINCE you’re trying to make sense of a paradoxical situation, it’s hardly surprising that you’re struggling to put the puzzle together. No matter how hard you try, there’s a piece left over. The component parts are interesting and relevant, but you can’t arrange them into the finished article. No wonder you’re feeling exasperated. Can you find a way to miraculously turn this chaos into a calm, satisfactory solution? As your ruler, the Sun, links to lucky Jupiter today, you can. Inspiration awaits! How can you benefit from this week’s powerful astrological outlook? It can change your life. For good news, call 0906 751 5605.

VIRGO Aug 24 - Sep 23

THE ability to ‘love thy neighbour’ is a quality we’re all supposed to aspire to. Which is fine when you get on with the people living on your street. But it’s not easy to feel kind and loving towards the folk next door if you can hear their music blaring in the wee hours of the morning! Fortunately for anyone in your vicinity, you’re about as kind and forgiving as they come. As your ruler Mercury moves back into Taurus, it enhances your ability to communicate with empathy. If there’s an issue to address, speak from your heart today. Capture the powerful energy of the positively star-filled skies. Call your in-depth, four-minute forecast: 0906 751 5606.

LIBRA Sep 24 - Oct 23

JUST because something’s ‘right’ doesn’t mean that it’s easy. Although we shouldn’t assume that difficult things are good, we need to be wary when solutions seem too simple. Somewhere in your world a convenient assumption has been reached. It may sound convincing, but it’s failed to take account of essential information. As Mercury changes signs, check out the facts. Just because others are happy to go along with a plan doesn’t mean an adjustment won’t be beneficial. Fulfil your dreams! Let the week’s powerful celestial outlook reveal your heart’s true desires. For good news, call 0906 751 5607.

SCORPIO Oct 24 - Nov 22

JUST because adventure movies are often set in exotic corners of the planet doesn’t mean there’s less to be found in a field down the road than an isolated cave in a remote jungle. Sure, the latter might be more glamorous, but there are always possibilities to make wondrous discoveries wherever we are. As the Sun links to Jupiter, the planet of good fortune, you can uncover something exciting today. If you do something out of the ordinary, you’ll find treasure in the most mundane of circumstances. Take full advantage of the inspiring cosmic climate. Solve your problems and find solutions! Call 0906 751 5608.

SAGITTARIUS Nov 23 - Dec 21

ARE you being over enthusiastic? Is your dream so far-fetched that it’s impossible to fulfil? There’s only one way to find out. Stop hankering after something and get on with manifesting it in your world! Give it a go. Commit yourself and see how far you get. Of course, that’s only the case if you really want it. Maybe you just want to want it. Maybe the fantasy is entertainment enough. But, as the Sun links to your ruler, Jupiter, if you focus, you can work magic. In a week of cosmic creativity, you can transform your life. For four minutes of valuable news, call 0906 751 5609.

CAPRICORN Dec 22 - Jan 20

AS AN insightful Capricorn, you realise your shortcomings. Although this doesn’t always make life easy, it’s a blessing. Paradoxically, it means that you’re also, on a deep level, conscious of your attributes. In fact, your tendency to self-criticise is the reason you’re able to push yourself further than other folk. You’re aware of your capabilities, and you want to do your best. Today, confident that the world already knows how wonderful you are, you can progress without making any more sacrifices. Take full advantage of the inspiring cosmic climate; solve your problems and find solutions! Call 0906 751 5610.

AQUARIUS Jan 21 - Feb 19

WE’RE expected to be confident about what we’re doing. Which is why uncertainty makes us uncomfortable. It’s as if we’re ashamed about our lack of conviction. When you consider that as children, we’re expected to know the answers to teachers’ questions, it’s hardly surprising we feel stressed when we ‘don’t know’. Yet doubt is valuable. When we’re in situations that make us question ourselves, we should feel glad not bad. Have the courage to be honest today. In a week of powerful cosmic activity, take advantage of the potential for transformation. Call 0906 751 5611.

PISCES Feb 20 - Mar 20

HAVE you ever missed your stop on a train journey? Or whizzed past the right motorway junction? It’s so frustrating. On you trundle, heading in the wrong direction. And to make matters worse, you have to head back, along the route you’ve just been on, to get to where you needed to be. Argh! With Mercury, in retrograde, this might sound like some of the situations you’ve been dealing with. Now though, it brings you a chance to deal with a source of frustration that will free you to move forwards, in a satisfying way. Powerful changes are possible as the planets positively combine. Make the most of their influence. Call 0906 751 5612.
