THE WEEK AHEAD WITH... Oscar Cainer

As the Sun and Mercury converge and shine a light on communication, it’s time to try to connect on a more meaningful level. With Mars soon returning home to Aries and emotions running high, if passions are expressed, transformation is possible.

ARIES MAR21–APR20

You might start to feel more prosperous this week. You might begin to notice a renewed sense of confidence and comfort. You might realise that you have less to worry about than you thought. I’m saying ‘you might’ because, as the Latin saying goes, ‘astra inclinant, sed non obligant’ – although the celestial alignments nudge us, they don’t force us to do anything against our will. With your ruler, Mars, soon entering your sign where Venus, the planet of love, awaits, your outlook’s looking good. Take full advantage of the inspiring cosmic climate; solve your problems and find solutions! Call 0906 751 5601.

TAURUS APR21–MAY21

It’s not only people in the arts who have powerful imaginations. We’re all capable of conjuring up fantastical scenarios. It’s a coping strategy we develop so that we’re able to handle life’s challenges. When our reality is monotonous, we counteract by finding an alternative way of looking at it. The downside is that sometimes we get so caught up in our fictitious version of events, we don’t realise that the reality is better than our fantasy. This week, you wake up to discover something worth celebrating. You’ve got lots to look forward to. The inspiration you need is in your four-minute forecast. Call 0906 751 5602.

GEMINI MAY22–JUN22

Promises. We like them so much. Interestingly, it seems that more than making them ourselves, we like it when other people make promises to us. We like this so much that we don’t always care what the promise is about. The problem is that we get so used to empty promises that we lose hope of any of them coming to fruition. Or we remain idealistic, clinging onto anything that looks vaguely promising. This week, your ruler’s link with the Sun enables you to take action that turns a promise into a reality. What’s in the sky for you? Helpful planetary alignments! For good news, call 0906 751 5603.

CANCER JUN 23 – JUL 23

People say life is a dance. This may resonate with you this week, particularly if you think of it like one of those graceful dances from the era of TV’S Bridgerton, when instead of boogieing away to the music, there was an elegance and routine involved. Sometimes, the participants are required to take two steps forwards and one back. Recently, you’ve been travelling in a forwardly direction. Just because you’ve got to take a brief step backwards this week doesn’t mean that you’re not involved in a delightful or fun process. Even if you don’t usually call for your in-depth prediction, you should hear this week’s encouraging news. Call 0906 751 5604.

LEO

Eat more nutritious food. Switch off the screen a bit earlier and get more sleep. Listen to the needs of your body and give yourself the nourishment (physical, spiritual and mental) that it’s crying out for. You’re experiencing the classic signs of having too much on your plate. You’re trying to please too many people and, as a result, your own needs have been put to the bottom of the pile. You’ve set your standards impossibly high. This week, as Mars changes signs, you can take the pressure off. A happier you will emerge. Phew. In a time of celestial creativity, you can transform your life. Your week ahead forecast is packed with news. Call 0906 751 5605.

JUL 24 – AUG 23

VIRGO

Be considerate, be gentle and be big-hearted. If you need to draw a line, draw it firmly but delicately. Where it’s possible to give the benefit of the doubt, do so. Where you can’t, be clear. With your ruler, Mercury, empowered by the Sun, there’s tangible energy in the air. You will feel it at work this week. And you’ll see evidence of the fact that it’s working in your favour. Look for the easiest way to achieve what you want to achieve. If it’s achievable, you’ll get it without having to try too hard. If it’s not, you can move on with ease. Success is about attitude and timing. Your forecast shows you the way to positive change. Call 0906 751 5606.

LIBRA SEP24–OCT23

Another week, another balancing act. Another reason to contemplate a decision. Another obstacle to find a way around. Another fragile situation to protect. You’re embroiled in a challenging situation. It’s highly probable that you’re about to encounter more sources of excitement and/or frustration. Are you ready for another one of those weeks? If you want to avoid any dramas, do your best to stay calm. As long as you remember not to take anything – or anyone – too seriously, it can be fun. How can you benefit from this week’s powerful astrological outlook? It could change your life. For good news, call 0906 751 5607.

AUG24–SEP23

SCORPIO OCT24–NOV22

You need to find a proper solution. You don’t want a quick fix – actually, that’s not quite true. An easy way out of this situation would suit you perfectly. But you have a feeling that there is a reason why you need to follow a more complicated route. And you’re right. This week, as dynamic Mars arrives in its celestial home, it highlights one clear option. And, with Mercury (insight) being empowered by the Sun, it’s the wisest path to take. Be warned, it might not feel convenient, but you’ll be glad that you didn’t compromise your integrity. Capture the powerful energy of the positively star-filled skies! For your four-minute, in-depth forecast, call 0906 751 5608.

SAGITTARIUS NOV 23 – DEC 21 All the best fairytales and

mythological adventures contain monsters who guard entrances to magical realms. The dragon protecting the cave of treasure. The giant at the top of the beanstalk. The heroes of these stories, armed with little more than good intentions, must find ingenious ways to conquer these beasts. Is this, perhaps, reminding you of a situation you’re currently dealing with? If you face a challenge that feels daunting, this week brings the creativity to deal with it. Fulfil your dreams and let this week’s dynamic cosmic climate reveal your heart’s true desires. For profound and insightful news, call 0906 751 5609.

CAPRICORN DEC 22 – JAN 20

‘I’ve got no strings to hold me

down, to make me fret or make me frown.’ If only life were so simple! Who needs strings anyway? They tie us down and force us into positions we don’t want to be in. Of course, this tale reminds us of life’s complications – Pinocchio’s world becomes much more complex when he turns into an actual child, which is why we sometimes prefer to be kept dangling. It’s easier. But don’t shy away from taking on responsibilities. What you’re doing now will soon bring a delightful reward. How can you stay focused and happy? Your weekly forecast holds the advice you need. Call 0906 751 5610.

AQUARIUS JAN 21 – FEB 19

There are some truly

ghastly songs that have been worldwide chart toppers, and there are dreadful films that take the box office by storm. And think about some of the ridiculous people who are elected to lead their countries. Honestly… it just goes to show how much you can rely on ‘popular taste’ or going along with everyone’s ‘good’ ideas. You’re an Aquarian. You’re not afraid to challenge convention. This week, as Mars moves into its celestial home, be strong and do what’s in your heart. The universe is conspiring in your favour. For four minutes of life-changing news, call 0906 751 5611.

PISCES FEB20–MAR20

It’s interesting how much longer it takes to cook a decent meal than it does to consume it. Similarly, for most of us, it takes much longer to make money than it does to spend it. But you can only eat one thing at a time, and you can only spend money once before it’s gone. You’ve invested a lot of time and energy into something and you’re now ready to savour the sweet taste of satisfaction – you’re ready for your moment of fulfilment. There’s a treat in store for you this week so take your time. Enjoy. Meaningful changes are possible as the planets positively combine. Make the most of their influence. Call 0906 751 5612.
