OSCAR CAINER

The return of retrograde Venus to Pisces today will be similar to the feeling of being awoken from a wonderful dream. Although we might be tempted to return to our previous mindset, something about it just doesn’t quite ring true. So, are we doomed to feel uncomfortable while blanketed beneath this current cosmic influence? No! We’re still safe and snug. We just need to remember that while some things may not feel quite how we’d like them to, there’s always the potential for another dream.

ARIES Mar 21—Apr 20 NORMALLY when Venus leaves your sign, you can expect a boost to your fiscal situation. When the planet of beauty and value moves into your second solar house, it can bring an improvement in financial affairs. But, this time, Venus is retrograde. She’s moving backwards into an area of the sky that deals with matters more spiritual than material. She’s encouraging you to reassess, rather than acquire. What can be fixed with just a little more care? Look with a sympathetic eye at some of your current conundrums. Your in-depth, NEW April forecast could be one of the most rewarding phone calls you ever make. Dial 0906 751 5601.

TAURUS Apr 21—May 21 THE further into April we go, the brighter your outlook becomes. There. I’ve said it. Now, if you wish, you can forget you read it and carry on feeling disadvantaged. You will, I’m sure, find plenty of small reasons to support such a view, if you care to look for them. But I see a very different perspective through my telescope. If you want to see it, too, put away the microscope through which you’re examining your various gripes and open your eyes wider. Venus is entering the final stages of her retrogradation. You’ll soon turn a corner. Understand what’s happening in your horoscope and discover how to assure success in April. Call 0906 751 5602.

GEMINI May 22—June 22 WHEN I was a boy, I watched a TV show called Art Attack. Each time, the host would take lots of household items — such as rubber gloves and buckets — and arrange them on the floor. At first, it looked like junk being thrown around at random. Yet, gradually, from the perspective of a camera high above, a giant work of art would form. Sometimes, it’s difficult to appreciate what you’re working towards. But from a lofty viewpoint, there’s value in your actions. Keep the bigger picture in mind. Please keep reading. There are great things to discover in your in-depth forecast for April. For inspiration, call 0906 751 5603.

CANCER June 23—July 23 HERE’S one of my favourite questions. If the road to hell is paved with good intentions, what’s the road to heaven paved with? Bad ones? How baffling. How unfair. Unless there’s no road to heaven. Perhaps you can’t walk or drive there. Perhaps your only real chance of getting near it involves making a concerted effort not to care whether or not you ever arrive. Perhaps heaven is simply an experience of not striving — or worrying. As Venus changes signs, stand a little further back from your current cause for concern. April is the month you’ve been waiting for. Get the good news in your NEW four-minute forecast. Call 0906 751 5604.

LEO July 24—Aug 23 A DEAL needs to be revisited. An agreement must be re-examined and the value of an accord assessed. That’s not to suggest anything is wrong. More relevantly, in doing so you’re likely to realise the value of a relationship. And if that is the case, then all the more reason to reconsider. It’s likely you may also discover something hidden. So it’s worth looking beyond the superficial. Just below the surface lies what you need to understand, what you’re feeling and how best to proceed. There’s lots to tell you about April — and you’re going to like it. Call your NEW, inspiration-packed forecast: 0906 751 5605.

VIRGO Aug 24—Sep 23 WHEN I was young, I read The Beano. The comic featured Dennis The Menace, who often got up to no good with his catapult. He worked his slingshot by pulling back a piece of elastic, then firing off a projectile. The greater the stretch, the faster the missile flew. Unless, that is, it was stretched so far back that it snapped. With Venus in its final retrograde period, opposite your sign, there’s a risk that you could ramp up some tension a little too far. But there’s also a risk that, if you don’t take it far enough, nothing will change. Even if you don’t usually call your in-depth forecast, you should hear the excellent news for April. Call 0906 751 5606.

LIBRA HEARTS and souls Sep 24 — Oct 23 are often bundled together. What nourishes one feeds the other. But not always. Even the virtuous Libran sometimes indulges in guilty pleasures that may land them in purgatory! And sometimes, a broken heart is, in the long run, good for the soul. Painful though it may be, it teaches us to value sources of emotional sustenance and reminds us not to take love for granted. Today, you should not fear pursuing your heart’s desire. Nor let the spectre of heartbreak stop you from baring your soul. Your in-depth, NEW April forecast could be one of the most rewarding phone calls you ever make. Dial 0906 751 5607.

SCORPIO Oct 24—Nov 22 WELCOME to the future. It starts now. What stops it from being wonderful? I’d say your concerns fall into two categories: those that relate to the future and those that relate to the past. Tomorrow’s troubles can be dismissed. They are projections based on a misunderstanding. Yesterday’s problems can be described in the same way. They’re harder to ignore because you find it harder to ignore them! Venus is retrograde as it changes signs. No cosmic boon works retrospectively, but you can give yourself the gift of forgiveness. Understand what’s happening in your horoscope and discover how to assure success in April. Call 0906 751 5608.

SAGITTARIUS Nov 23 — Dec 21 THEY say that elephants never forget, but did you know they hardly ever sleep? Research suggests they sleep for fewer hours than any other land mammal, often going several days without any shuteye. Perhaps this explains their memory. Perhaps they’re haunted by nightmares of the past. Are you in a similar predicament? What are you losing sleep over? What do you need to let go of? If you can develop a thicker skin, whatever’s looming large will soon seem insignificant. Please keep reading. There are great things to discover in your in-depth forecast for April. For inspiration, call 0906 751 5609.

CAPRICORN Dec 22—Jan 20 HOW much should you say? And how much should you do? You feel that you ought to let someone know what you know. Yet you also know this person doesn’t necessarily want to hear what you have to say. It’s going to put you in a tricky position if you reveal a piece of information. There’s a lot to consider. Who do you want to protect? Why? And how much harm might a ‘good deed’ ultimately do? As Venus changes signs, weigh it all up before you act this week. You’re under no obligation to put the world to rights! April is the month you’ve been waiting for. Get the good news in your NEW four-minute forecast. Call 0906 751 5610.

AQUARIUS Jan 21 — Feb 19 YOUNG people will never understand the values and limitations of VHS tapes. ‘Tracking’ and children posting toys into the video player are things of the past. Yet I’m nostalgic about the old style of rewinding that has been lost in the digital age of streaming. The way the images danced in reverse looked silly, but it was easy to find the scene you were looking for. This week, there’s an old-school solution to your problem. It may not make comfortable viewing, but it’s the best way to find the answer. There’s lots to tell you about April — and you’re going to like it. Call your NEW, inspiration-packed forecast: 0906 751 5611.

PISCES Feb 20—Mar 20 TODAY, Venus slips back into your sign. She does so without a fanfare or a drum roll. As it’s the second time she’s come to visit recently, are you so used to her that you won’t notice? She may be subtle but, wherever she goes, the gentle plucking of heartstrings can be heard. Listen carefully and you may even hear the strumming of a lyre. Should you let these sweet, reassuring sounds lull you into a state of security? Should you believe any of the comforting noises you begin to hear from the people around you? Frankly, yes! Even if you don’t usually call your in-depth forecast, you should hear the excellent news for April. Call 0906 751 5612.
