Horoscope: April 2, 2016

Your stars today

Aries | March 20 – April 18



Urgent as decisions seem, commit now and you’d only need to rethink things in a week or so. Not only is the foundation on which existing plans are based shifting, the Aries New Moon, on the 7th, will itself bring a fresh perspective. Knowing that, ensure any arrangements you make are flexible.

Taurus | April 19 – May 19



Saying yes to an offer that comes from nowhere, and which you regard as questionable anyway, may seem unwise. However, the more you investigate, the clearer it will be this is worthwhile. The trick is to say yes, but in such as way it’s clear you may need to rethink arrangements.

Gemini | May 20 – June 19



There are few things more exciting than an inspired idea. While some give a fresh perspective to existing arrangements or alliances, others offer promise of new and worthwhile activities. At the moment, whatever their nature, you’ll need to ensure others know you’re interested or move swiftly in response to offers.

Cancer | June 20 – July 21



Although it’s not until Thursday, the odds are good you’re already feeling the influence of the coming Full Moon. This is especially the case because it accents the structure of your life, and is bringing certain already complicated issues to a head. Think these through now, and you’ll resolve them swiftly then.

Leo | July 22 – August 21



The time has come to say farewell to certain once-cherished arrangements or alliances. Once these meant a great deal. While, ordinarily, you’re not burdened by excess sentimentality, you’re reluctant to bring these to a conclusion. Still, not only is it timely, they’re beginning to intrude on new, and more profitably pursuits.

Virgo | August 22 – September 21



Arguing with those who’re ill informed can be exasperating. Yet if you don’t, they’ll continue to make errors that will, at some point, cause you or others problems. Now, however, it may be you who discovers you were mistaken, and they were right. Things are changing, faster than you realise.

Libra | September 22 – October 21



Unsettling as last minute changes in plans can be, judging by the current planetary setup, you’ve no choice. Discuss these with those involved. First, together, you’ll confirm just how promising these are. Once that’s clear, jointly you’ll find a way to reorganise things without causing the disruption you so dreaded.

Scorpio | October 22 – November 20



Few things are more aggravating than having invested considerable time and thought into plans, facing sudden changes in the actual foundation on which they’re based. On the plus side, disruptive as these are, your options are broader and far more interesting. So much, you’ll soon exchange your complaints for enthusiasm.

Sagittarius | November 21 – December 20



Usually you’re the first to explore new ideas. But recently you’ve been made offers you don’t want to have anything to do with. While this means you may already have refused certain suggestions, consider the source of your opinions. The circumstances in question have changed and so, too, should your views.

Capricorn | December 21 – January 19



Although you enjoy a lively debate about provocative issues, actually battling over who’ll be making crucial decisions is another matter. You’d rather wait, watch and learn. Yet if you don’t at least listen to others’ arguments regarding certain unsettling changes, you could miss out on potentially profitable ideas or opportunities.

Aquarius | January 20 – February 18



It’s not so much that there’s a rush to make arrangements but, rather with Venus, the planet of money and relationship, and the communication planet Mercury both moving into new positions on the 5th, the focus is bound to change. The sooner you deal with existing matters, therefore, the better.

Pisces | February 19 – March 19



There’s an art to saying the single word ‘no’. It’s one that you find difficult at the best of times but which is now causing you real problems. One or two individuals seem to ignore what others say, including you. Forget about subtle suggestions. Be blunt. And make it clear you won’t negotiate.
