10 – 16 April 2012

ARIES {Mar 21–Apr 20}
Your hasty ruler Mars has finally stopped its long time retrograde motion in the rather painstakingly hard working sign of Virgo. Yes, you’re still learning your craft, but the good news is that you’ll begin to realise the progress you’ve made is nothing short of epic.

TAURUS {Apr 21–May 21}
Resisting divine opportunity for enjoyment is in some respects the greatest of sins; as long as you are not hurting anybody then you must strive to fulfill your hearts longing. Let yourself go, so that everyone can enjoy your company to the fullest.

GEMINI {May 22–June 21}
You’re inspired and creative with lashings of imagination right now. Though you may be holding true to some lofty ideals, there’s no harm in seeing where your dreams can take you. The compassion you feel towards others is the very quality that draws their loyalty to you.

CANCER {June 22–July 22}
There’s never any point in fighting over the truth, as the truth is often a subjective little shape-shifting beast that can be right in both its polarities. Such is the paradox; it makes one wonder why our ego is so attached to any one side.

LEO {July 23–Aug 22}
It can be a hard nut life, but more than likely it’s just a hard nut lesson. Once you crack it, it doesn’t seem so tough. The hardest nut in the Zodiac, namely Saturn, is laying down his hard-hitting tack-ticks, this means it’s time to step up and take responsibility.

VIRGO {Aug 23–Sep 22}
At last the energy is back in full swing and your curious ruler Mercury enjoys a rather creative patch, swooning over your loved one and waxing romantic lyrics to better soften the love punch. It’s top marks for you and an enjoyable time for your partner.

LIBRA {Sep 23–Oct 22}
If partners are harder to please, perhaps it’s due to boundaries and you both need to know where they are, so don’t cross them and make each other cross. Sometimes the hardest thing to do is be accepting and mature about another’s shortcomings.

SCORPIO {Oct 23–Nov 21}
Relationships are given a chance to intensify so that you may understand the deeper implications of them and their profound impact on you. Notice too that during this phase finances are enriched through combined resources.

SAGITTARIUS {Nov 22–Dec 20}
Don’t let other people bring you down. Old friends or mature friends give you the freedom to be yourself without being anything less than understanding and tolerant. Romance can bloom once again as a special person unlocks your heart.

CAPRICORN {Dec 21–Jan 19}
Explore the great mystery through study, travel or religion and be inspired while the intrepid planet of Mars begins his forward motion, just don’t get too preachy as it’s tiresome. Being in public has its limitations, but your sense of fun is exacerbated behind closed doors.

AQUARIUS {Jan 20–Feb 19}
It may feel as through the world is getting smaller, but this sense of claustrophobia could actually mean you have just started to realise the limitations of some of your current thought patterns. So upgrade them and step into a bigger world.

PISCES {Feb 20–Mar 20}
Are you ready to face up to the opposition that’s confronting you? Is it really so big? What seems big today could easily be forgotten tomorrow, so if you must fight, think first about why you are fighting – ego battles are meaningless with hindsight.
