OSCAR CAINER

Why Do Fools Fall In Love? That is what Frankie Lymon asked in his 1956 pop classic. It seems we’ve always known that even the sharpest minds can be prone to the intoxication of romantic idealism. Today, following April Fools’ Day, trusting Venus and controlling Pluto make a tense alignment. They create an energy of awareness, as hidden information now becomes available and easier to interpret. Since they promise insight and hope, we might rather like the journey this relationship brings.

ARIES Mar 21 — Apr 20

TEETHING is a painful experience — for both child and parent. But it’s a natural and vital process; imagine dooming your child to a gummy, toothless life just because you wanted to save them some discomfort! That would be no act of kindness. You’re in the process of a similar period of transition. Soon, the cosmos will allow you to emerge unscathed and victorious but, in the meantime, you need to hang on in there. Don’t confuse a passing concern with a permanent problem. 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 5601.

TAURUS Apr 21 — May 21

THE LINE between fantasy and reality is hazier than we think. A classic example of this is the confusion created by Orson Welles’s radio dramatisation of H. G. Wells’s The War Of The Worlds. Its effect on the American listening public was so dramatic that it caused millions of people to believe the world was being invaded by Martians. This, of course, wasn’t the case then, and never will be! As Mercury and Neptune align, you may find yourself bewildered by a situation that is far from true. 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 5602.

GEMINI May 22 — June 22

YOU have a fantastic opportunity. A wide range of legitimate options are yours for the taking. But you need a good reason to make your choice. Sadly, neither ‘because I can’, nor ‘because it will make things easier’ are valid answers. It’s important to be sure you’re not simply papering over a crack that could turn into a crevasse down the line. While a quick fix is appealing, you have the chance to fix a tricky situation once and for all. A little faith will take you far today. 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 5603.

CANCER June 23 — July 23

THE French have a saying: ‘The more things change, the more they stay the same.’ They were saying it even before the days of the revolution. They said it while Napoleon ruled, and they’re saying it under Macron. So it must be true! You’ve invested a lot of time trying to change something recently. Yet no matter how m much you try to adjust it, things seem to slip back into the same old routine. Perhaps that’s not as bad as you fear. Living with things as they are might be better than you think. 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 5604.

LEO July 24 — Aug 23

WE TEND to think of film and TV stars, the legends of sport, and entrepreneurs as people who epitomise self-assurance. It’s hard for us to imagine that such folk ever suffer from self-doubt. Of course, they (like all human beings) are sensitive to criticism. They worry that they’re only ever as good as their last hit show or financial success. The truth is that everyone’s entitled to make errors of judgment. You’re nowhere near as close to getting something wrong as you think. 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 5605.

VIRGO Aug 24 — Sep 23

THERE are some places in the world where emergency services are split into ‘non-urgent’ and ‘urgent’. The problem comes with drawing a distinction between the two. My idea of an emergency probably differs from yours. When something in your life is really urgent, at least you know it’s really urgent! It has to go to the top of the list. It’s not so clear what to prioritise when a situation is simply bubbling rather than boiling. How bad will it be if you don’t take swift action today? Things aren’t as hot as they seem. 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 5606.

LIBRA Sep 24 — Oct 23

I WAS watching the classic film The Wizard Of Oz with my son the other day. It really has stood the test of time. Remember the Tin Man, who wanted a heart because he didn’t think he had one? By the end, it’s apparent he’d always been full of heartfelt emotions, he’d just somehow managed to keep them locked away. We all have gifts that we fail to recognise, then something changes and we’re able to understand ourselves with new insight. Don’t overlook your talents today. 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 5607.

SCORPIO Oct 24 — Nov 22

AS WITH so many things, in order for your current project to succeed, it’s going to involve give and take. To secure the expertise or assistance you require, you will need to adapt your plan to harness someone else’s ideas and concerns. Yet this needn’t mean handing over the reins. Compromise where you can, and don’t be afraid to put your foot down when the time comes. This, after all, is your plan. Make sure, too, that you don’t accidentally pay too high a price for help. If you would like a reason to smile, call your latest forecast. It’s crammed with good news about what awaits you in April. Call 0906 751 5608.

SAGITTARIUS Nov 23 — Dec 21

EVEN though your current problem is well within the remit of your expertise, you can’t claim familiarity with its every twist and turn. You need to know some details, and parading about as though you have the answers is no way to go about getting them! Be ready to retrace your footsteps, and those of the people around you. Could something have been misinterpreted? As Mercury and Neptune link, casting a fresh eye over old material may prove invaluable. 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 5609.

CAPRICORN Dec 22 — Jan 20

IF YOU’RE doing your absolute best, there’s no reason to give yourself a hard time. There’s no more that you can do. Trying to do more than this means pushing yourself beyond what you’re able to do, and this risks undoing some of the good work already completed. People under pressure sometimes end up doing their worst, rather than best, work. Your best bet is to take something off your plate and create space. Put your trust in the universe today; you will be well rewarded. 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 5610.

AQUARIUS Jan 21 — Feb 19

WHEN we lose interest in something, it’s rarely because we’ve learnt everything there is to know. It’s because we’ve reached saturation point. We’ve stopped taking in new information; stopped seeing the point of learning more. If, on the other hand, we care passionately about someone — or something — we find a way to push on and unlock a whole realm of new opportunities. The cosmos is enabling you to revise a decision about where you should draw a line in the sand. 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 5611.

PISCES Feb 20 — Mar 20

HERE is an announcement: Despite everything you might be reading, or hearing, things aren’t as bad as you feared. Nor are they going to get that way. The good news is this is the first of many positive bulletins you’re about to receive. With Venus in your sign, if you’re seeking encouragement, you’ll find it. If it’s emotional comfort you’re after, it’s coming. Even your financial situation is moving towards greater stability. These things may not be instantaneous, but they’re on their way. 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 5612.
