OSCAR CAINER

Hi Oscar, my Sun is in Libra and my Moon is in the opposite sign of Aries. I’ve read negative things about this. Can people like me ever get peace? Are there benefits to our characteristics? Hi Ricky, being born under a Full Moon, regardless of sign, can mean that you’re an idealist, particularly in relationships. Some people fail to live up to your standards, but not all. As long as you remember to listen to your head and your heart, you can lead a wonderfully successful and fulfilling life. Oscar

ARIES Mar 21 — Apr 20

YOU might not suspect it, but there’s cause for celebration. Your achievements this year are impressive, but there is more to come. Later this month, when two harmonious trines bring opportunity for all, you need to seize your chance for success in your current quest. The issue for you now is self-belief. Find it again and wait for your moment to act. The next few days are about being ready to make a great leap forward. Don’t be impeded by restrictions — especially self-imposed ones. 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.

TAURUS Apr 21 — May 21

DID the earth move for you at the weekend as your ruler Venus returned home? If not it won’t be long as you consider profound concerns before the Venus effect moves you on to satisfaction in love and relationships, and good news in your finances. This might suggest a time of hustle and bustle, but the opposite is true. These benefits should arrive while you experience a kind of relaxing slowing-down. Enjoy it. The cosmos is preparing you for a busy mid-month as those harmonious trines come into play. Are you ready for a brand new month? Your prediction for the next 30 days is ready. Make April great! Call 1550 511 611.

GEMINI May 22 — June 22

TURN on the TV to see how dictators control people by limiting their freedom, backed by displays of power to let their subjects know what might happen if they step out of line. I am not suggesting you have any dictatorial tendencies, but you would like to bend some people to your will right now over one project. As ever, you will win hearts and minds if you make changes in your behaviour before resorting to tough talk. Venus in your neighbouring sign will help your gentle approach. All you need to know about April is crammed into your four-minute forecast. Make it a magical month, call 1550 511 611.

CANCER June 23 — July 23

NO-ONE can make clear decisions if they are under stress. Don’t get me wrong: a little stress is healthy. It can give you an edge and sharpen your responses, but when you have been through the kind of challenges you have faced recently, the stress levels can inhibit your judgment. Right now, you are trying to work out where to draw the line in a certain matter. Step back for a moment and enjoy the comforting glow Venus is offering now she is safely at home in Taurus. Relax: clarity is coming very soon. 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.

LEO July 24 — Aug 23

YOU can see the sunlit uplands that the middle days of April will bring as those harmonious trines start to benefit everyone. It seems a way off. Right now you are still on the roller-coaster where success and uncertainty are locked in battle. No wonder you’re frazzled and want to get off. It’s easy for me to say ‘relax’, but that really is the message today. Much of what concerns you now will turn out to be trivial — or will simply go away. Your duty to yourself right now is not to sweat the small stuff. Are you ready for a brand new month? Your prediction for the next 30 days is ready. Make April great! Call 1550 511 611.

VIRGO Aug 24 — Sep 23

WE TALKED yesterday about steering clear of distraction and trying to focus on just one key issue. How did you do? I thought so. You started with good intentions but you got — ahem — a bit distracted. Don’t give yourself a hard time. Learning to focus takes time, and just a little bit of progress in this will make it even easier next time I give you that advice. And when will that be, pray? Why, today! Concentrate on tackling just one difficult task. A creative solution isn’t as inconceivable as you fear. All you need to know about April is crammed into your four-minute forecast. Make it a magical month, call 1550 511 611.

LIBRA Sep 24 — Oct 23

WE CAN never quite shake off the past, and nor should we want to. Your past has shaped your present and made you who you are, but if you dwell too much on what has gone before, you will deny yourself any chance of making progress. One event a long time ago — though it seems like yesterday — can dominate your thoughts, limit your imagination and stultify your progress. The skies suggest great opportunities await. But you have to face — and defeat — an ancient fear. You can do it. 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.

SCORPIO Oct 24 — Nov 22

VENUS moved into her Taurean home at the weekend, and the benefit is for everyone to enjoy. The message is clear: no matter how tough the challenge you are facing at home with friends or colleagues, tough talk is not the way to solve it. Instead, you must concentrate on being kind and compassionate. You will get nowhere if you make someone else dig in their heels. Show consideration, and others will come around to your point of view. It takes stamina and strength, but the rewards are great. Are you ready for a brand new month? Your prediction for the next 30 days is ready. Make April great! Call 1550 511 611.

SAGITTARIUS Nov 23 — Dec 21

FEELING hemmed in? Limited by rules? You’re trying to make progress, but the elements seem to be against you. Usually at this point your astrologer would advise a different route. But this time, thanks to a listless sky, the guidance is to step off the route altogether. Clear an inner block by releasing your pentup energy. Try going for a swim, a walk, a bike ride. Perhaps do some painting, cookery or even singing — anything to take you away from your impasse. Return to it fresh. All you need to know about April is crammed into your four-minute forecast. Make it a magical month, call 1550 511 611.

CAPRICORN Dec 22 — Jan 20

YOU can’t expect to make huge progress every day. It would be exhausting, and the consequence would be burn-out. The skill is in identifying the times when ‘treading water’ is the sensible option. Today, for example. Don’t worry, you won’t have to bide your time for long; the skies have a huge helping hand in mind for you. Use this brief moment of respite to update your ‘todo’ list, get some well-earned relaxation in. Tackle some minor undemanding tasks. Clear the decks, ready for action very soon. 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.

AQUARIUS Jan 21 — Feb 19

WHEN you are happy, you forget that you were ever upset. When you are low, you recall regrets and weave them into one big reason to feel wretched. Right now your inclination to experience extreme emotion is strong. Mars has been conjunct with Saturn in a sensitive part of your chart. It’s causing you to feel deeply passionate about emotional connections. Ought you to be more restrained? Perhaps. But if you can’t, just trust your feelings and run with it — all the way to success. Are you ready for a brand new month? Your prediction for the next 30 days is ready. Make April great! Call 1550 511 611.

PISCES Feb 20 — Mar 20

SOMETIMES the astrologer’s job is to recommend ‘do this’, ‘don’t do that’, ‘consider this’, ‘talk to someone’. And sometimes the job is to say: ‘Do very little today, don’t rock the boat, don’t get carried away.’ Today is one of those days. There’s plenty later in April to keep you busy. Regard the next 24 hours as a fallow day, a time to recharge batteries, to keep a watching brief on what’s been worrying you. Things will look different tomorrow. Easier, in fact. A relaxed day will give you valuable perspective. All you need to know about April is crammed into your four-minute forecast. Make it a magical month, call 1550 511 611.
