OSCAR CAINER

IT’S the birthday of Frank Oz, the co-creator of the Muppets. Yet as retrograde Mercury and Pluto link with Mars, they bring another puppet — which he didn’t create — to mind. Pluto’s reputation for subterfuge, and retrograde Mercury’s predilection for misinformation, suggest that certain noses are growing. Studying actions (rather than words) provides insight into what people are truly thinking.

TAURUS Apr 21 - May 21 RECEIVED wisdom. The noble words of advice passed down by esteemed elders, classical masters, and . . . er . . . caterpillars? Just because one of these creatures gave advice to Alice In Wonderland, doesn’t mean we should start searching the hedgerows to find one of our own. It makes you wonder how seriously we should listen to anyone with a sage-like aura, who purports to know things we can only dream of understanding. I’m not suggesting you ignore advice today. But your evaluations are every bit as important. Take full advantage of the inspiring cosmic climate. Solve your problems and find solutions. Call 0906 751 5602.

GEMINI May 22 - June 22 WE MIGHT not be children but we’re not entirely ‘grown-ups’ either! Some people seem to prefer to hover between these two states — and who’s to say that’s not an acceptable way of living? To be carefully ‘adult’ is to value serious-mindedness over imagination. And who wants to do that. Sure, other folk might look down their nose at frivolity . . . but who cares? If you can do what’s necessary today with a sense of childlike glee and enthusiasm, you’ll have struck a precious balance. In a week of cosmic creativity, you can transform your life. For four minutes of valuable news call 0906 751 5603.

CANCER June 23 - July 23 HUMANS can’t be read like open books. We hardly ever get to know someone’s entire story from the beginning, through the middle to the end. It takes ages to get the full picture. We learn about people slowly; taking time to let them reveal their intricacies and quirks. Whereas some folk are happy to disclose their thoughts immediately, others are more reticent. Life is asking you to take your time right now. Even if you feel as if you’re moving at a snail’s pace, if you look back, you’ll see how far you’ve come. Capture the powerful energy of the positively star-filled skies.

LEO July 24 - Aug 23 IT’S SO frustrating. Life would be so much more fun if every moment was a magic moment. Yet who says it can’t be? If you want to experience it as such, you just need to alter your perception of the word ‘magic’. You’re desperate for a situation to be different. For now though, it can only be what it is. There’s a reason for this, which you can’t see now, but will be able to soon. When you do, you’ll be ready for the magic it holds. Rather than waiting for the ‘big reveal’, try trusting in the cosmos. And relax. Fulfil your dreams. Let the week’s powerful celestial outlook reveal your heart’s true desires. For good news, call 0906 751 5605.

VIRGO Aug 24 - Sep 23 MANY things in your world feel a little vague and ill-defined. You have important decisions to make, but it’s hard to know what to do for the best when the facts remain blurry. You need clarity, conviction and strength of purpose — which seems impossible in these circumstances. Today, as your retrograde ruler and Pluto link with dynamic Mars, try imagining what ‘success’ would look like. You’ll realise that although several components are unresolvable, you do have control over one or two. Focus on those. Take full advantage of the inspiring cosmic climate. Solve your problems and find solutions. Call 0906 751 5606.

LIBRA Sep 24 - Oct 23 WE’RE all aware of people who, as soon as they’re behind a car steering wheel, act as if they have a point to prove. Even when the traffic’s not moving, they rev their engines. They nip in and out of lanes on the motorway to gain a small advantage. Of course, there are times when we need to step on the accelerator and push ahead. But there are other times when it’s better to cruise along and take in the scenery. Under today’s cosmic climate, you can afford to settle back and enjoy the ride. In a week of cosmic creativity, you can transform your life. For four minutes of valuable news call 0906 751 5607.

SCORPIO Oct 24 - Nov 22 SOME people avoid getting involved in complex conversations by keeping themselves to themselves. They know there are times when it’s advisable to stay silent: that letting others assume you’re foolish is better than demonstrating you don’t know what you’re talking about. Others protect themselves by rambling on. They figure the more they say, the less anyone will be able to tell that they’re not saying anything relevant. If a lot is being said today, don’t bother trying to make sense of it. If you wait, all will become clear. Capture the powerful energy of the positively star-filled skies. Call your in-depth, four-minute forecast: 0906 751 5608.

SAGITTARIUS Nov 23 - Dec 21 WHEN people look at you, do they see the person you used to be? Have you managed to transform yourself into the persona you always wanted to become? Or do you sometimes feel like a stranger, even to yourself? Your self-image is going through a process of change. This is bound to happen when you’re developing a better relationship with yourself. As this change progresses, you’ll notice an improvement in your key relationships. Fulfil your dreams. Let the week’s powerful celestial outlook reveal your heart’s true desires. For good news call 0906 751 5609.

CAPRICORN Dec 22 - Jan 20 LONG before security cameras were invented, an unwieldy device allowed people to see round corners. Consisting of a tube with two mirrors, it resembled a horizontal periscope. It might be helpful if you could try to picture yourself looking through this apparatus to see round the corner of time to view what the future has in store. If you could lay hands on one, you’d know there’s no reason to be anywhere near as concerned as you are about an issue you’re dealing with. The end is in sight. Take full advantage of the inspiring cosmic climate. Solve your problems and find solutions. Call 0906 751 5610.

AQUARIUS Jan 21 - Feb 19 THEY tell us that perseverance is a virtue. But they also tell us not to keep banging our heads against brick walls. Can both of these maxims be true? Of course! When we try, and don’t give up, we can achieve great things. It’s just we need to be careful about what we choose to commit to. Some ideas are more feasible and worthwhile than others; or less problematic. You’re looking at something you want and wondering what you’re going to have to do to get it. Just check today. Is it worth it? In a week of cosmic creativity, you can transform your life. For four minutes of valuable news call 0906 751 5611.

PISCES Feb 20 - Mar 20 PEOPLE with passionate opinions defend them with fervour. If anyone questions their position, they respond so vigorously you’d think their lives depended on their ability to counter-argue. If you find yourself going into defensive mode today, try to take a step back. Is there really a risk that something in your world will fall apart if you don’t argue your case? Could someone just be rubbing you up the wrong way? As long as you know why you’re doing what you’re doing, it doesn’t matter if someone else doesn’t get it.
