17 – 23 April 2012

ARIES {Mar 21–Apr 20}
Get some social stimulation that gives you ample opportunity for self-expression. Your mind is able to grasp concepts that are a little out of the ordinary; thinking outside the box is appropriate. Unexpected thoughts and communications open up your world.

TAURUS {Apr 21–May 21}
The New Moon teams up with sporty Mars and brings you added enthusiasm for all things fun, creative and new. Finding new avenues for self-expression may be important to you, so try and find an outlet for the more lighthearted side of your nature.

GEMINI {May 22–June 21}
Your mind is racing, but machines can’t even go on without rest; they need regular check ups, to be switched off and on again. If you begin to feel the crash, take regular time outs and don’t feel guilty about it – it will only be doing you good.

CANCER {June 22–July 22}
Being selflessly obedient to an altruistic cause may prove satisfying, as will helping out a loved one in need, even if they cannot repay the favour. Avoid shouting about all that you are doing for others as this may undermine the positive effects of your generosity.

LEO {July 23–Aug 22}
A chance to start all over and change the way the world perceives you can be grabbed. Being a softer touch does not lesson your likeability factor; it actually enhances it. You respond well in groups and will find much value in the partaking of amiable converse.

VIRGO {Aug 23–Sep 22}
Unpredictable financial situations brought on by the whims of others can be nothing short of bothersome. True, you’ve usually made contingency plans for most of these, however unexpected news may still arrive. Support comes from your roots or home.

LIBRA {Sep 23–Oct 22}
Your own frustration is still fighting to be made conscious from the confines of your secret psyche; it is unlikely that where obstacles arise that you’ll be able to define them. Keeping your eye on the positives helps you steer clear of darkened paths.

SCORPIO {Oct 23–Nov 21}
A sense of inner security can be reached in matters of the heart, which bring you added freedom to express all sides of your personality. While you may see some friends as ‘the competition’ they are actually spurring you on to greatness.

SAGITTARIUS {Nov 22–Dec 20}
You can redefine the circumstances surrounding your working life. This comes from being honest about your needs and expressing those needs in a balanced and diplomatic way. People are on your side, so gathering support will be easier than usual.

CAPRICORN {Dec 21–Jan 19}
You’re so busy running the show that you barely spend any time on the actual stage. Push yourself to the front of the limelight and have some fun; it will remind you that life is meant to be enjoyed! Soak up some well deserved adoration.

AQUARIUS {Jan 20–Feb 19}
Staying at home is the new going out; after all, you can do, feel and be so much more. Financial restrictions will soon turn around. Make the time for creativity, as a new muse brings forth and taps you into a hidden source, thus producing tip-top results.

PISCES {Feb 20–Mar 20}
Epiphanies around money will only spur on the making of more money. Take the initiative by asking or negotiating. Remember, most people sit around weeping over problems, but when you get indignant and determined you can really bring about a change.
