Dear Jonathan, Some while ago you asked: ‘If a tree falls in the forest, but there is no one to hear it, does it make a sound?’ More recently, you mentioned the concept of ‘duality’. Here is a quote from The Disappeara­nce Of The Universe by Gary R. Renard: ‘ There can be nothing in a mirror without an image that appears to be opposite it, attached to an observer to see it. Without duality there is no tree in the forest . . . And if duality is a myth, then not only is there no tree, but there is also no universe.’ Gerd

ARIES

Mar 21 — Apr 20

WE TAKE too much too seriously. We allow thoughts and fears to make us anxious. We try to control situations and worry that things will become chaotic if we don’t keep them in check. Yet we place ourselves under so much strain when we attempt to carry the weight of the world on our shoulders. What is important is that you respect your own need to relax and enjoy life. That is not escapism or selfindulg­ence; it is essential. If you prioritise this, it will help you to solve many problems. Seize your chance to understand what’s happening in your horoscope and make April a success. Call 0906 751 5601.

TAURUS

Apr 21 — May 21

WHY do we sometimes find it so hard to understand each other? It isn’t as if we never attempt to communicat­e. Many of us have plenty to say and those who don’t can at least express their amazement at how other people seem to find so much that warrants such intense discussion. Few and far between are those who are anything other than quick to judge. If only we could be just as quick to see what truly lies behind the decisions that people have made. A little sympathy could go a long way. I’ve got lots to tell you about April — and you’re going to like it. Do yourself a favour. Call 0906 751 5602.

GEMINI

May 22 — June 22

IF THERE was an all-powerful, allknowing deity, capable of being everywhere at once, what would it have in common with us? We can’t do anything we choose, we don’t know all there is to know, we can only be in one place at one time! What if that entity resided within each of us? What if that bit of you was in secret constant contact with that bit of everyone else? For best results, try to let that bit of you lead the way instead of trying to make it do what you want. Your in-depth, April forecast could be one of the most rewarding phone calls you ever make. Call 0906 751 5603.

CANCER

June 23 — July 23

WHEN we say ‘This isn’t possible’ or ‘I expect that is likely,’ on what are we basing our conclusion? On what our past has taught us? On where we feel we are in the unfolding pageant of our lives? Are we right? Are we wrong? We should be wary of assessing any situation by reference to date, time and the prevailing social, economic or political climate. These points may be relevant, but truly useful understand­ing comes from recognisin­g wisdom, which is timeless. Try to be guided by that. Even if you don’t usually call, you should hear the excellent news in your NEW April prediction. Call 0906 751 5604.

LEO

July 24 — Aug 23

ASTROLOGER­S in some parts of the world also read palms and interpret dreams. I like to think of myself as modern. I just read the position of the planets and leave those other methods of divination to specialist­s. I do, though, know enough about dreams to see that they should rarely, if ever, be taken literally. It is only their ‘symbolic inference’ we should heed. Are your dreams trying to tell you something? Be creative in your attempt to understand what that might be and you may make magnificen­t progress. April is the month you’ve been waiting for. There’s good news in your NEW four-minute forecast. Call 0906 751 5605.

VIRGO

Aug 24 — Sep 23

WE DON’T always say what we think. Sometimes that’s sad because we prevent ourselves from sharing warm sentiments. Sometimes, it is a mercy because if we were to be honest, we might cause offence. Either way, there is often a disparity between the informatio­n we give out through our words and the signals we send from our hearts. Yet the heart, even if given no voice, has a way of making itself heard. It affects our omissions: the things we overlook or dream about. Yours is saying something. Please keep reading. I’ve taken a good look at your forecast for April and I have great things to tell you. Call 0906 751 5606.

LIBRA

Sep 24 — Oct 23

IT SOMETIMES seems as if life is full of things that we have to do. Obligation­s we must honour, promises we must keep. It might not be so bad if, when it came to the tasks we weren’t so keen to fulfil, we had to tackle them only once. Yet there is often a lot of maintenanc­e required. This can involve much repetition. Faced with that reality, we have no choice other than to find some way to enjoy whatever we can’t escape. There is something good now, even about what seems less than ideal. Cherish that. Seize your chance to understand what’s happening in your horoscope and make April a success. Call 0906 751 5607.

SCORPIO

Oct 24 — Nov 22

‘ONE good turn deserves another.’ It may deserve it, but does it get it? Why do we so often feel as if despite our best efforts to do what’s right, we end up getting results that seem wrong? If the cosmos really rewards those with kind hearts and high standards, why does it overlook so many of us who could hardly be more generous or principled? You are not sure whether you believe in natural justice any more. But, then, a process has yet to reach an end and a story is far from fully told. More may yet improve. I’ve lots to tell you about April — and you’re going to like it. Do yourself a favour. Call 0906 751 5608.

SAGITTARIU­S

Nov 23 — Dec 21

WE SHOULD all be wary of astrology. An astrologic­al character analysis can provide an excuse for apathy, lethargy and pathetic passivity. ‘Oh, I can’t help being like this. It’s just the way I was born.’ Well, you CAN help it if you want to. All of us can, regardless of what sign we are. An astrologer’s job is not to help entrench someone in an immutable position; it is to guide them towards their most viable opportunit­y to change and improve. Where you seek positive evolution, you can find it. Your in-depth, April forecast could be one of the most rewarding phone calls you ever make. Call 0906 751 5609.

CAPRICORN

Dec 22 — Jan 20

WHENEVER there is a conflict, we tend to assume we are right and, therefore, someone else is wrong. Naturally, they reach the same conclusion or there wouldn’t be a conflict! The only exception might be if one person suffered from such low self-esteem that they assumed everything was their own fault and so, another individual must be every bit as right as they themselves are wrong. That’s still a conflict but it is an inner conflict. All conflict can be resolved with intelligen­t understand­ing. Even if you don’t usually call, you should hear the excellent news in your NEW April prediction: 0906 751 5610.

AQUARIUS

Jan 21 — Feb 19

THESE days, most drivers have sat-nav in their cars or on their phones. We get lost less often, but when we do, it can be much more difficult to find our way again! Once upon a time, if ever any of us wanted to get somewhere, we would first consult a map. And if we got lost? Well, we knew that even if we were late, it would be wiser to stop and ask for directions than to just keep driving blindly round in hope of a happy discovery. Don’t let urgency propel you; just do what’s surely sensible. April is the month you’ve been waiting for. There’s good news in your NEW four-minute forecast. Call 0906 751 5611.

PISCES

Feb 20 — Mar 20

WE WANT to do the best for ourselves, for those we love or for the whole world. Ah, but what if we don’t know what we truly need? What if we are similarly mistaken about the choices that might best suit our loved ones? Suppose we had made a small, well-intentione­d, but ill-informed error about the best way to benefit humanity? We could end up a long way down a regrettabl­e road. A moment of self-doubt could do you a lifetime of good. Please keep reading. I’ve taken a good look at your forecast for April and I have great things to tell you. Call 0906 751 5612.
