Halloween Shouldn’t Be A Time For Doom And Gloom Says JEMIMA CAINER – But One Sign Must Tread The Delicate Line Between Moving On And Remembering

When I was a kid, Halloween wasn’t such a major event. Now the shops are full of pumpkins and plastic skeletons, but what are we really honouring at this time of year?

Halloween may be a sweet-and-scary celebration for children, but there’s something far older beneath the masks.

The Celtic festival of Samhain, starting on October 31, reminds us of the wheel of life – beginnings, endings, the stories that live in between.

This isn’t a week for doom and gloom. It’s about remembering the threads that weave our stories together.

ARIES

(March 21 – April 20)

How do you usually deal with the unknown? Do you charge straight at it, or do you wait for it to make its move? Today reminds you that some things simply can’t be fought or figured out – they must be felt. An old situation, which you thought you’d moved beyond, has more to show you. There is no need for you to fear reflection – it brings with it the gift of clarity. And if you’re willing to listen, a voice from the past might say exactly what you need to hear. I’ve recorded a special message for you – call now to hear it: 0905 789 0301✽

TAURUS

(April 21 – May 21)

Even for a grounded Taurean like you, the world can get a little spooky at this time of year. Yet there’s nothing wrong with yearning for something otherworldly if it loosens an ache in your heart. Today there’s a whisper in the wind. You’re not imagining things – this time of year really does stir up something deep. It asks you to recognise the things you have let go – and whether there’s a small piece you still carry. The line between ‘moving on’ and ‘remembering’ is a delicate one. There’s more waiting for you – call to hear your message: 0905 789 0302✽

GEMINI

(May 22 – June 22)

You love a good story, and you’re surrounded by them today. The symbolism at this time of year sparks a curiosity within you and you yearn to know more about what is really going on. Today you may start hearing the echoes of an exciting idea coming back around again. That’s not a symptom of madness as far as I know (although I would always advise anybody to check with a professional!). A twist in the tale may reveal something meaningful you missed the first time. Your deeper message is waiting now – call to hear what it says: 0905 789 0303✽

CANCER

(June 23 – July 23)

As a water sign you are more tuned in to the shifts of the seasons than most people – and today you feel it all. The stillness. The softness. The sense that something unseen is drawing near. A cycle is completing, and your heart is already starting to make peace with it. There’s no need to put a brave face on it – simply let the truth wash over you. You’re allowed to grieve, to remember and to find comfort in knowing that nothing ever truly disappears. It only changes form. You are not alone – call now to hear the message I’ve recorded for you: 0905 789 0304✽

LEO

(July 24 – August 23)

You like your lights bright and your spirits high. As a Leo you know all about the beauty and drama that is only brought about by healthy contrast. You’re evaluating what has changed, and though that may bring a little melancholy, you won’t allow that to sour your mood. If you are experiencing soul-deep nostalgia now, know that you are not alone. You haven’t lost your spark. You’ve been gathering the kind of necessary wisdom that would make your ancestors proud. Hear what the stars are whispering – your message is waiting: 0905 789 0305✽

VIRGO

(August 24 – September 23)

You have questions today, but they may not be straightforward. Logic can only go so far when trying to solve the complex problems that come through multiple layers of emotion. If you feel rather than think, though, you may find that you have answers already at your fingertips. Something or someone is pulling at your memory. And even if you can’t fully explain why, trust that your attention is being drawn for a reason. You are being guided by a thread from the past. I’ve recorded something special just for you – call to hear it now: 0905 789 0306✽

LIBRA

(September 24 – October 23)

A part of you longs for the lights of harmony to remain on all night. But even a Libran must occasionally retreat into the shadows long enough to remember what really matters. You are aware of an uncomfortable problem, but the question is, what can you do about it? You can only control your own actions – no matter how much influence you wish to impart on another person now. Something you’ve been trying to balance may be better off being released. I have recorded something that will bring it all together – call now: 0905 789 0307✽

SCORPIO

(October 24 – November 22)

You know better than most that endings do not only generate sadness. Some bring deep relief. Some bring renewal. Today you’re standing at that sacred threshold between what was and what could be. This time of year brings transformation. Don’t be surprised if old feelings rise or dreams bring clarity for you. Something wants to be acknowledged and honoured before it can truly rest. You don’t need to fix it, just witness it. There’s something important waiting in your message today – call now: 0905 789 0308✽

SAGITTARIUS

(November 23 – December 21)

You’ve always got one foot in the future, but you also know that, every now and again, looking back gives you real benefits too. Remembering just how far you have come will help you to reinstate your belief in your ability to stir life back into a situation that seemed to have gone rather stale. That’s not naivety – it’s the kind of persistence rewarded generously by the cosmos. A small act of reverence today, and a nod of acknowledgement for what has already been, will help you to open a door. Your full message is waiting – call now and hear it: 0905 789 0309✽

CAPRICORN

(December 22 – January 20)

You generally prefer not to get swept up in sentiment, but that’s not because you fail to recognise the power of it. In fact, your commitment to staying realistic is often exacerbated by the depth of feeling in your heart. You are aware of the sacredness of this season, and you feel a calling to respect and honour the cyclical nature of change within your own life. Today is not about tasks or to-do lists, though. The cosmos is asking you to stop and trust in something ancient. I’ve recorded a message that brings it all into focus – call now: 0905 789 0310✽

AQUARIUS

(January 21 – February 19)

You’re not immune to this strange season – but you are not easily convinced by a sheet with holes in it either. You know that real power comes with a crackle of unseen energy that leads to collective change. Today, you may feel unexpectedly nostalgic and pulled towards thoughts that seem to come from nowhere. You’re being reminded that the future is built on memory – but that doesn’t mean you are stuck. Honour what brought you here. Then choose what to carry forward. There’s a message waiting for you… call now to hear it: 0905 789 0311✽

fish

(February 20 – March 20)

You have always been so sensitive to the things that others don’t see – and this week that veil is getting ever thinner. You will likely find that your dreams are vivid and your emotions akin to a roller-coaster ride. You don’t need to explain everything that you are feeling – you are free to simply experience it and allow it to flow as it wishes. Let yourself drift into the in-between state where your imagination and intuition can speak. The messages that emerge from this place are not distractions. They offer direction from a deeper place. Your next step is clearer than you think – call now: 0905 789 0312✽
