YOUR HOROSCOPE FOR THE WEEK BEGINNING 8 APRIL 2018
ARIES March 21-April 20
They say that fantasies should never be acted out because reality never lives up to the scenarios we play in our minds. They have a point. Some things are best left to the imagination. On the other hand, some experiences turn out to be more delightful than we ever dare to dream. You don’t have to act on your heart’s desire this week. But if you do, you have the resources to transform a complex situation into one you’ve long wished would materialise. The trine, involving your ruler, adds a magic touch to your plans. IN YOUR LOVE LIFE: Love is always needed and it’s always attainable, too. In your world now, there is as much as you need and more! TAURUS April 21-May 21
We forgive many small and accidental transgressions against our rights, our bodies and our personal spaces on a daily basis. Like a person stepping on your foot or bumping into you on a busy train station, a mumbled apology in these circumstances is acceptable. We can forgive bigger infractions too. But sometimes we confuse forgiveness with allowance. What behaviour are you green-lighting that could be detrimental to your well-being? Forgiveness is one thing, but this week’s trine empowers you to stand up for yourself. IN YOUR LOVE LIFE: The boundaries and lines need to be changed. Here comes your chance to redraw them. GEMINI May 22-June 22
There’s a vast difference between human and artificial intelligence. A robot can be programmed to make coffee, but it has no understanding of what a cup is apart from it being a necessary part of the process. It doesn’t know how much is ‘enough’ either… it will pour for the time it’s programmed to pour. Nonetheless, robot-brewed coffee is just as effective as its human prepared counterpart. Where in your life are you facing a complex issue? This week, the trine suggests that the answer may be less complex than you imagine. IN YOUR LOVE LIFE: Our moods are much more powerful than we realise. One small shift of viewpoint, though, can alter everything.
JCAPRICORN December 22-January 20
K Rowling might have defined the world of witchcraft and wizardry for a generation, but it was hardly a new concept. ‘Double, double toil and trouble’ could have been performed at a Hogwarts feast but it was the witches in Shakespeare’s Macbeth that first enshrined the notion of newts’ eyes and frogs’ toes in the popular imagination. Your way of looking at a certain issue seems perfectly logical. But remember, there’s never just one perspective. This week, cast off everything you think you know and look again with fresh eyes. IN YOUR LOVE LIFE: Decision time? Trust your emotional judgement, and seek the advice of people who are a little better informed.
AQUARIUS January 21-February 19
This week, nothing is quite as it seems. Everywhere around you, situations are evolving, climates are shifting and people’s attitudes are changing. That’s why you feel ever so slightly out of balance. Don’t panic! The atmosphere is actually quite habitable. Just act with confidence and consideration, and question your instincts. Think once and then think twice. The trine will help you to adjust your impulses so that they match the delicacy of your situation. Then, you’ll be able to pursue your goals with subtle vigour. IN YOUR LOVE LIFE: Helping someone to go beyond an assumption, and you can liberate yourself from what was looking like a dead-end.
PISCES February 20-March 20
Francis Bacon said, ‘It is a sad fate for a man to die too well known to everybody else, and still unknown to himself ’. Still, though, we feel that putting ourselves first is selfish. But why is that? There is, after all, a reason why flight cabin staff tell us to put on our own masks before helping others. Whilst it’s noble to devote our lives to making other people happy, we can’t ever truly help without acknowledging our own needs. With your ruler involved in the trine, don’t be afraid to reach out and ask for support of your own this week. IN YOUR LOVE LIFE: You have had to perform a delicate juggling act. You have already begun to see success. More rewards come soon.
