Mar 21 - Apr 20 THE expression ‘the worm has turned’ is such a strange phrase. It’s used to describe the moment when timid, hidden, humble creatures make a statement about the unfairness of a situation. Are you feeling as if you’ve had enough of something? Do you need to take a challengin­g course of action to protect yourself from someone’s manipulati­ve behaviour? As your ruler, Mars, converges with Saturn, you’re in a powerful position. If you’re going to create dramatic change, don’t forget the power of words. April starts and ends with powerful New Moons. Create powerful, positive changes in your life. Call 1550 511 611.

TAURUS Apr 21 - May 21 HOW often are we told ‘there’s a time and a place’ for what we’re trying to say? And how often is that ‘not now’? It’s ironic that a saying that relies on specificit­y, functions exclusivel­y by way of prohibitio­n. I’m not trying to encourage you to be insensitiv­e, bolshy or selfish. But, if you find yourself being shrugged off today on grounds of ‘appropriat­eness’ that applies to someone else’s sense of convenienc­e, don’t be afraid to firmly state your case. As your ruler, Venus, changes signs, it brings a boost of influence and power. A new month, two powerful New Moons. A forecast that could transform your life! Call 1550 511 611.

GEMINI May 22 - June 22 SOME people get pleasure from playing devil’s advocate. Yet I suppose they might do it out of a sense of duty – and be delighted if they were let off the hook and no longer required to think up provocativ­e questions. Today, we find you feeling responsibl­e for someone’s difficult attitude; they’re rocking a boat that you would prefer to be sitting calmly in still waters. It’s time to shake off an unnecessar­y sense of responsibi­lity and invest your energy in issues you can properly affect. There’s a lot to say about the astrologic­al advantages April brings. You should hear your forecast. Call 1550 511 611.

CANCER June 23 - July 23 YOU feel that, even though you’ve been walking for a while, the tunnel remains steadfastl­y dim. So dim, that you’re beginning to wonder whether the light you hope to see is ever going to appear. Yet, haven’t there been slight changes? Hasn’t the inky black lifted a little? It’s not that your eyes have acclimatis­ed to the gloominess of the surroundin­gs – you’re beginning to see the effects of light around the next corner. Keep up the pace. Stay steady. As Venus moves into a new celestial home, it shines a glow on a source of hope. April starts and ends with powerful New Moons. Create powerful, positive changes in your life. Call 1550 511 611.

LEO July 24 - Aug 23 ALTHOUGH we might not like having to compromise, there’s a huge difference between a compromise and a sacrifice. Which are you being called to make? The distinctio­n between the two isn’t as obvious as we’d like. A lot depends on our attitude. If we’re full of resentment, we’re not going to be happy no matter what it’s called. As Mars conjuncts Saturn, you need to make a decision that involves ‘letting go’ of something (or someone). Venus’s change of signs brings the insight you need to do what’s best. A new month, two powerful New Moons. A forecast that could transform your life! Call 1550 511 611.

VIRGO Aug 24 - Sep 23 YOUR longing to see the ‘right’ thing happen can sometimes get you into trouble. When you know what you want, and can see a way of getting it, nothing will stand in your way. Yet, there’s a reason we have heads as well as hearts: the combinatio­n helps us strike a balance between pragmatism and optimism. So long as you remember to check in with your head before you make a final decision, not only will you make the right choice, you’ll be empowered with the energy to start making transforma­tional change. There’s a lot to say about the astrologic­al advantages April brings. You should hear your forecast. Call 1550 511 611.

LIBRA Sep 24 - Oct 23 NO MATTER what you decide, you’ll still be open to someone’s criticism. It makes no difference what you say, somebody will offer a counter argument. That’s the nature of life. Yet, there’s no denying the further away that person is, the easier it is to deal with their opinions. It’s particular­ly difficult when they’re close to home. Just because you’re exasperate­d doesn’t mean you should feel forced into making a decision today. Your ruler’s change of signs encourages you to be firm … and to trust your judgment. April starts and ends with powerful New Moons. Create powerful, positive changes in your life. Call 1550 511 611.

SCORPIO Oct 24 - Nov 22 YOU’RE a sensitive Scorpio. You’re also thoughtful and wise. Which explains why your life’s full of anomalies. Your instincts pull you in one direction, while your intellect takes you in another. And your intuition? Well, it’s busily trying to balance between those two forces. But in case you’re taking this as a criticism, let me remind you of your strengths. Your determinat­ion and passion enable you to work through any inner contradict­ions and find authentic ways to inspire others. You’re doing that today. A new month, two powerful New Moons. A forecast that could transform your life! Call 1550 511 611.

SAGITTARIU­S Nov 23 - Dec 21 THERE are times when we have no choice but to wait for the right moment. At other times, the right moment comes along even if we’re unprepared. But what happens when it appears and we’re not in a position to take advantage of it... when it’s obvious it’s not the ‘right moment’? As Mars converges with Saturn, nothing needs to be too difficult today. If things aren’t going with the flow, give them a small push. And if things feel right, trust that they’re going to work out for the best. There’s a lot to say about the astrologic­al advantages April brings. You should hear your forecast. Call 1550 511 611.

CAPRICORN Dec 22 - Jan 20 SOME people love curry; the spicier it is, the happier they are. Others can’t cope with even a suggestion of spiciness. The distinctio­n between ‘delicious’ or ‘unpalatabl­e’ varies according to taste. Now, how is your day ahead looking? That depends on the level of chilli you enjoy! As Mars converges with your ruler, things are hotting up. You need to find a way to deal with a peak of heated activity. If that involves cooling things down with the metaphoric­al equivalent of yoghurt, you’ll find what you need. April starts and ends with powerful New Moons. Create powerful, positive changes in your life. Call 1550 511 611.

AQUARIUS Jan 21 - Feb 19 JUST because a ‘spoonful of sugar’ helped Mary Poppins convince her charges to take their medicine, it could hardly be recommende­d as appropriat­e advice. Neither dentists nor dietitians would ever suggest such a policy. As a one-off trick, however, it’s probably a risk worth taking. It’s the side-effects of regularly swallowing the sweet stuff that leads to problems. As Mars converges with Saturn, you can find an enjoyable way to take the edge off a valuable yet less-thandesira­ble experience. A new month! Two powerful New Moons! A forecast that could transform your life! Call 1550 511 611.

PISCES Feb 20 - Mar 20 WE LIKE to think we know our rights from our wrongs. After all, if we expect kids to have a grasp of these principles, surely we can be confident that we know what’s right and what’s not. But it’s rarely that simple; there’s always a risk that we might be wrong to think we’re right about something. But we should be more worried about thinking that we’re wrong, when we’re not. With Venus moving into your sign, you can release yourself from a knotty confusion. As you’re about to see, you’re wrong to think you’re wrong! There’s a lot to say about the astrologic­al advantages April brings. You should hear your forecast. Call 1550 511 611.

 ?? ?? GOVERNMENT­S offer tax relief to encourage positive behaviour. Yet, since loopholes let some people avoid paying what they owe anyway, there’s a sort of conscience tax for those who stick by the spirit of the rules. Currently, for most of us, Mars and Saturn’s convergenc­e suggests that pursuing desires won’t be easy. But, with abundant Venus moving into Pisces, we can feel positive about being honourable.
