Horoscope: April 3, 2016

Aries (March 20 – April 18)

As an Aries, you’ll usually examine a situation, then plunge in and let experience be your guide. Although others may urge caution, you’re right to get involved. The trick, however, is to bear in mind that each day’s events could mean rethinking those plans you made only the day before.

Taurus (April 19 – May 19)

The New Moon, in a few days’ time, accents the most strategic portion of your chart. This indicates events, discussions or, possibly, your own insights will give you a much-needed fresh perspective on one particularly tricky issue. True, this could mean considering options you once ignored or, perhaps, completely dismissed.

Gemini (May 20 – June 19)

It’s time you turned ideas into a plan. True, the actual situations you’re dealing with are in disarray. So while this means tiptoeing around areas of confusion, it’s still wise to take things to the next step. Just ensure what you organise is flexible enough you can easily rethink arrangements.

Cancer (June 20 – July 21)

If ever there was a time to aim high, it’s now. True, at the moment you’re thinking about little but certain tedious if crucial issues. However, what you learn as you deal with these will clarify your priorities, which means when you need to make decisions suddenly, you’ll be fully prepared.

Leo (July 22 – August 21)

There are many astrological students and enthusiasts who regard the influence of Saturn as negative. Yet what you learn when your ruler the Sun encounters it, on the 5th, won’t just help clarify what and who is in your best interests, you’ll be prepared to take action on those insights.

Virgo (August 22 – September 21)

This is one of those times when, no matter how important what you have to say is, you’re better off looking and listening before you do a thing. This process of observation will force you to question certain ideas that may once have been right but no longer are.

Libra (September 22 – October 21)

Welcome as the opportunities indicated by the coming weeks’ powerful planetary activity may be, they’re bound to lead to changes and, perhaps, the need to rethink longstanding arrangements. Deep down you’ve known that, at some point, serious alterations would be needed.

Scorpio (October 22 – November 20)

Your capacity for discretion is a real strength. Yet now, you’re better off being open, if not forthright, about your intentions. Partly, this will update others. But also, you’ll find that what you learn from those you’re chatting with will be far more informative than anything you could discover on your own.

Sagittarius (November 21 – December 20)

The time has come to slow your pace. While you say that often, it’s become essential. First, you’re so busy you’re not giving the best of yourself to any activities or alliances. But, also, you’ve no time to explore the rather exciting ideas or offers coming your way. These deserve your attention and thought.

Capricorn (December 21 – January 19)

Compassion may be a virtue, but often it needs to be used in combination with a practical assessment of the situation. Somebody has told you a sob story and convinced you to give them a hand. Ask a few questions and you’ll discover this particular individual does this regularly.

Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)

The best way around the obstacles you’re currently facing is to do something out of character. That is, you’ll want to wait and watch. Urgent as the mood may be, things aren’t actually that pressing. What you learn from observing both the circumstances and individuals involved will answer most of your questions.

Pisces (February 19 – March 19)

Don’t be shy about expressing your views. While in a most settings you can be amazingly forthright, in others about which you’re cautious, mostly for fear of upsetting one already vulnerable individual. The fact is, they’re fine, so fine they’ve convinced everybody, including you, to cater to their every whim.

IF IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY TODAY

If you’re feeling restless, it’s no surprise. Recently you’d found yourself in certain arrangements that have proved interesting yet restrictive. They’ve been so intense you could think of little else and now you need a way out, emotionally and in practical terms. Happily, your birthday chart indicates that the perfect ideas or offers are coming your way. While, initially, you may feel guilty even considering these, they’re precisely the right thing at the right time.
