OSCAR CAINER

THE Blue Moon may be waning, but its effects are still as noticeable as a chocolate egg-laying bunny. And today the focal point of the T-Square it formed reasserts its influence. Mars and Saturn converge in Capricorn for the first time since 1990, though we needn’t fear this caged animal of a conjunction. Yes, it is wild and strong, but it simply needs a firm hand on the leash. We can’t allow our passions to get the better of us... but they can be what drive and sustain us now.

ARIES Mar 21 — Apr 20

WHEN the rains subside and the sun appears again, that’s when a rainbow appears. It’s a promise of better times after we have faced adversity. Around the middle of the month, you can expect such encouragement when Venus moves opposite Jupiter. Consider the difficulties you’ve faced recently: they’ve been painful, but will prove to have been your pathway to hope. So take the week’s difficulties in your stride: they’re only as serious as you let them be. Your rainbow moment is coming. All you need to know about April is crammed into your four-minute forecast. Make it a magical month: call 1550 511 611.

TAURUS Apr 21 — May 21

FREAKSHAKES. Have you seen one yet? They are the latest coffee-shop craze in the hipster parts of town. These beverages are crowned with brownies, ice-cream or other toppings – a Frankenstein’s Monster of milkshakes. Now your ruler Venus has entered your sign, you should be feeling an emotional buzz to match any that comes with a shot of sugar or fluffy marshmallows in your hot chocolate. Mars’s conjunction with Saturn is helping keep your desires in check. But joy is waiting to enter your life. Work out how best to utilise this. NEW! I’ve lots to tell you about April – and you’ll like it! For four minutes of really helpful news, call 1550 511 611.

GEMINI May 22 — June 22

INFORMATION overload can affect us all. Imagine if every time you went supermarket shopping, you stopped to read every label or advertisement vying for your attention. You might never get out. We create mental filters to stop us seeing or hearing too many signs and signals. Similarly, in our day-to-day life, we often ignore options that present themselves. But real life is not a shopping trip. As Mars hooks up with Saturn, success now requires you to embrace an option you might not normally see. Are you ready for a brand-new month? Your prediction for the next 30 days is ready. Make April great! Call 1550 511 611.

CANCER June 23 — July 23

WE MUST remind ourselves of a universal truth – well, an almost universal truth in human matters – that ‘like breeds like and dislike breeds dislike’. Behave nicely to someone, and it will be almost impossible for them not to be nice in return – even if they act as fiercely as everyone else. If we react badly to someone, well, we know what to expect. You have a key goal. Success hangs on your openheartedness and kindness. The good news is the recent Blue Moon T-Square will soon help you to summon this. All you need to know about April is crammed into your four-minute forecast. Make it a magical month: call 1550 511 611.

LEO July 24 — Aug 23

LEARNING to recognise when you enter a new stage is one of life’s biggest lessons. Not long ago, you were a caterpillar; now you’ve emerged with wings as a butterfly. But you still feel that crawling everywhere is the safe way to go. You might be worrying about whether your wings will work. Or should stick with how you’ve always acted? Don’t sell yourself short. There’s so much more you can achieve. You worked hard – or waited a long time – to get here. Make the most of your new-found skills and experience. NEW! I’ve lots to tell you about April – and you’re going to like it. For four minutes of really helpful news, call 1550 511 611.

VIRGO Aug 24 — Sep 23

KEEPING on track can be the hardest job of all. Distraction is everywhere: phone calls, emails, money worries – in short, life can get in the way of your life. The luck you have with you this week isn’t perhaps the lotterywinning kind, but it’s just enough to ease everyday concerns long enough to let you focus on a project you’d set aside – or to make a bold move involving a key relationship. Now, thanks to the positive planetary energy of Mars and Saturn, you have a chance to regroup for a genuinely rewarding time. Are you ready for a brand-new month? Your prediction for the next 30 days is ready. Make April great! Call 1550 511 611.

LIBRA Sep 24 — Oct 23

THE Moon doesn’t have a light switch. We can’t just turn it on or off when we fancy. The Blue Moon that just graced your sign hasn’t finished sending its magic your way. That ‘blue, blue Moon’ continues to re-balance your relationships with the realisation of what you need to feel grounded. Experience has taught you to be cautious about trusting your desires. Caution has its place, but not now. Around your heart there’s an electric fence which is no longer needed. That’s something you can switch off. All you need to know about April is crammed into your four-minute forecast. Make it a magical month: call 1550 511 611.

SCORPIO Oct 24 — Nov 22

THE road to Hell isn’t merely paved with good intentions, it is walled and roofed with them. So said Aldous Huxley. He also observed that an intellectual is someone who has found something more interesting than sex. As that sounds about right, it suggests his first observation is true, too. But surely that can’t mean that the road to Heaven is paved with bad intentions? With Mars linking to Saturn, make sure your intentions are matched with a determination to communicate clearly. You will go far. NEW! I’ve got lots to tell you about April – and you’re going to like it. For four minutes of really helpful news, call 1550 511 611.

SAGITTARIUS Nov 23 — Dec 21

AS MARS links with Saturn, you can expect to be feeling driven, dynamic and determined. All three qualities arise naturally in Sagittarians. The risk, as ever, is these admirable traits leading to their less attractive counterparts: stiffness, stubbornness and seriousness. Flexibility, levity and sensitivity are needed now – plus a dash of your natural charm. Find them and put them to work on that project you’d set aside. It’s easier than you think to get what you need this week. Cosmic magic is on hand to help. Are you ready for a brand-new month? Your prediction for the next 30 days is ready. Make April great! Call 1550 511 611.

CAPRICORN Dec 22 — Jan 20

EVEN if you don’t believe in guardian angels, they’ll still believe in you. Have you ever wondered how some folk can make terrible judgments, yet still land on their feet? Your natural caution means you rarely ask for celestial help; instead, you prudently avoid precarious situations. I am not saying you should cast caution aside over a difficult issue – just don’t be over-cautious. Don’t assume you have no luck to push! Work with your cosmic assistant. Ask it, or the universe, about which risks to take. Success awaits. All you need to know about April is crammed into your four-minute forecast. Make it a magical month: call 1550 511 611.

AQUARIUS Jan 21 — Feb 19

NO ONE can experience everything the world has to offer. Everyone, from the moment we start making our own choices, is engaged in a process of selection, a narrowing of choices, a limitation on what we allow into our lives. It’s how we stay sane in a world of overwhelming possibilities. But when the time is right, we sometimes need to restrict our self-imposed restrictions. This month is such a time as two harmonious trine configurations come into play. The cosmos is urging you to reconsider what’s possible. NEW! I’ve lots to tell you about April – and you’re going to like it. For four minutes of really helpful news, call 1550 511 611.

PISCES Feb 20 — Mar 20

THE influence of the recent Blue Moon is still strong. For you, it’s a time of reflection. Can you be happy with so much turmoil in the world: the politics in your home country, the stand-off between the world powers. And always the Middle East. Across Africa and India too, some people are having terrible times. All that suffering. There are hospitals, near where you are right now, full of folk who are clinging to life. What right do any of us have to feel good? Be sensitive today, but be aware, too, that you’re blessed. Are you ready for a brand-new month? Your prediction for the next 30 days is ready. Make April great! Call 1550 511 611.
