OSCAR CAINER

April Fools’ Day came a little early to the celestial realms, since Mercury (representing ideas, clarity and communication) finished last week staggering backwards across the sky while fusing with illusory Neptune. But Mercury’s links with the dreamlike planet aren’t over; they peak again tomorrow. As these two creative influences converge for one final time, there’s no need to worry about falling for problematic tricks. instead, they bring reasons to believe in a vision that is both compelling and inspiring.

ARIES Mar 21 — Apr 20

HOW tired are you feeling? How drained are your energy stores? Do you feel a sense of disappointment? Have your expectations been raised only to be let down?

If you really have managed to let go of something that you’ve been clinging on to, you’re in a brilliant position to take advantage of this opportunity.

TAURUS Apr 21 — May 21

WE ALL hide parts of our personalities within our psyche. We all experience inner emotions that we contain rather than convey. It seems that you’ve been using up a lot of energy trying to dampen a fire that’s yearning to be expressed. This is connected to a problem that you think is unsolvable. Yet as the link becomes more obvious, it’s clear that, by expressing what you feel, and exploring what you’re attempting to ignore, you’ll discover the way to free yourself from routine. There’s lots to tell you about April — and you’re going to like it. Do yourself a favour. Call your four-minute forecast: 0906 751 5602.

GEMINI May 22 — June 22

WHEN there isn’t enough time in the day to do everything you need to do, it’s not always wise to steal more time from the night. Sleep is essential. So, by the way, is time for resting and relaxing. Working too hard and operating too fast forces us to make compromises and risks losing our powers of discrimination. Then, we end up over-complicating simple things. As your ruler Mercury prepares to link to Neptune, don’t overlook an easy solution to a current problem. Keep a clear head today. If you’d like a reason to smile, call your latest forecast. It’s full of good news about what awaits you in April. Call 0906 751 5603.

CANCER June 23 — July 23

OVER time, people who live by railway lines, or construction sites develop the ability to tune out the sound. This is worth bearing in mind as your attention is drawn to an issue that you’ve been strategically ignoring. Although it might not be as obvious as a loud noise, it doesn’t demand a radical response. The awkwardness you’re feeling is

part of a process of realisation. As awareness fully settles in, don’t be tempted to leap into action. Patience will bring remarkable

improvements. There’s lots to tell you about April — and you’re going to like it. Do yourself a favour. Call your latest four-minute forecast: 0906 751 5604. SHHH! Don’t say anything!

You march to the beat of your own drum and are not about to be swayed by the latest trend for neon, oversized hats or extravagantly pleated bags — and certainly not all three together. But that’s not to say that you don’t keep an eye out for what’s changing. And you’re keenly aware of what’s influencing, swaying and persuading the people around you. In order to achieve your goal, today you might need to play up an interest in something that doesn’t usually excite you. There’s lots to tell you about April — and you’re going to like it.

LIBRA Sep 24 — Oct 23

HOW would it feel if, like a king or queen, a picture of your face was printed on paper money? Every time you collected cash from a dispenser, you’d see pictures of yourself staring back at you. Would it make you feel as if you had the right to own more of it than other people? We often think that something belongs to us when it doesn’t. That could happen today. Sometimes it’s better to let go of responsibilities. You don’t have to own something to be able to enjoy it. If you’d like a reason to smile, call your latest forecast.

SCORPIO Oct 24 — Nov 22

IT’S not just lazy folk who like the idea of lying around not doing much. Wise people can equally be drawn to inactivity. In our crazily busy world, appreciation of the art of doing nothing has all but disappeared. Yet, it’s often the best thing to do. As you now contemplate a seemingly confusing number of solutions to a problem, it could well be the case that the cleverest move would be to let some time pass. If you give yourself permission to stand back and observe, you’ll see what you need to do. There’s lots to tell you about April — and you’re going to like it. Do yourself a favour. Call your latest four-minute forecast: 0906 751 5608.

SAGITTARIUS Nov 23 — Dec 21

THERE can be something comforting about repetition. Even if we don’t especially like the action, going through a series of familiar motions can be therapeutic. Since we find uncharted waters, untested schemes and unproven theories unsettling, we don’t jump ship unless there’s a flaw in our plans. And, if we’re reluctant to embrace individual change, we’re even more unwilling to do it as a community. Recent events indicate the need for a more straightforward approach to a shared problem.

CAPRICORN Dec 22 — Jan 20

WHAT could be more appealing than a comfy rocking chair, a lovely balcony, with a pile of great novels beside you? You could spend your time watching the clouds pass by as you sip your favourite drink. Aah . . . if only . . . Yet perhaps one day, in the not too distant future, genetic engineering will enable us to clone ourselves so that we can be in more than one place at the same time! Meanwhile, back in reality, you have more than the skills you need to cope with all that’s going on in your world. There’s lots to tell you about April — and you’re going to like it. Do yourself a favour. Call your latest four-minute forecast: 0906 751 5610.

AQUARIUS Jan 21 — Feb 19

THE only thing harder than keeping someone happy is working out how to make them happy in the first place. And working out whether it’s possible to do so without making someone else unhappy. If only there was a way of meeting everyone’s needs at the same time. Well, there is! And, though it’ll take some time, you have the tools at hand. In the meantime, you’re going to have to maintain your balancing act. Stay alert. You’re more than in control. If you’d like a reason to smile, call your latest forecast. It’s crammed with good news about what awaits you in April. Call 0906 751 5611.

PISCES Feb 20 — Mar 20

DECEPTION is a bit like quicksand. The more we struggle to extricate ourselves from a tricky situation, the more trapped we become. Unfortunately, the path to truth is no less treacherous. This world of ours is an intricately woven web of truths, falsehoods, beliefs, and ideologies, many of which are founded on assumptions and misinterpretations. In order to decipher all of this, we have to give ourselves up to the confusion. Only then will clarity finally emerge. There’s lots to tell you about April — and you’re going to like it.
