Horoscopes: Wednesday, April 08

ARIES: (Mar 21 – Apr 20)

The Moon is having a direct influence on you. It is in Virgo, is very nearly full - and is pulling you hard to consider what nourishes you and what doesn't. In one way or another life is working to get you to listen to your body.

TAURUS: (Apr 21 – May 20)

The Moon in Virgo is insisting firmly that you take note of what makes your body hum healthily. When an organism males no horrible noises, it is in good working order. Get your inner harmony happening. It is a great pleasure.

GEMINI: (May 21 – June 21)

There's not a lot of room for intellectual deliberation. If we had to think about how to breathe and how to digest every morsel of food, we'd soon be finished. There's another organic intelligence at work in us. Listen closely to it.

CANCER: (June 22 – July 22)

As you strengthen your foundations, your practical base, so you feel lighter. Emotionality is linked to stress. Identify the little things that are throwing you off kilter and sort them out. Minimum action bring maximum results.

LEO: (July 23 – Aug 22)

As long as you keep going for small pleasurable delights, you won't get bumped off track. There's no need to go for large indigestible gulps of pleasure. Little things are what's touching your heart most. Notice the beautiful details.

VIRGO: (Aug 23 – Sept 22)

The very nearly full Moon in Virgo has got you on the hop. It is making everything you are and everything you do, seem a lot more important. Be aware of the urge to hurry. It could trip you up if you let it. Take a deep breath.

LIBRA: (Sept 23 – Oct 23)

Your impatience is being held in check. You can't get away from what is holding you back. That which is doing so, is doing so for honourable reasons. You will forgive the moment you understand. Be as quick as you can to get it.

SCORPIO: (Oct 24 – Nov 21)

The more grounded events are, the deeper you get to go into what you are feeling. Emotional intensity just for the sake of it, is a way of staying on the surface. The Moon in Virgo is setting a solid base for a high flight of feeling.

SAGITTARIUS: (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

There's a tension between the passionate you that wants to get on with it - and the careful you that refuses to fully commit. The careful one has the upper hand. Have compassion for the one who wants to run like a foxhound.

CAPRICORN: (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Just when you thought support was going to be in eternally short supply, it turns up. It comes in the wake of the earthy Virgo Moon. It soothes your sore spots with the salve of spectacular softness. You are ripe for some good loving.

AQUARIUS: (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

While everyone else is dealing with the brakes being put on and all sorts of messages coming in about being careful and slow, you head off like a hare – without a care in the world. Guaranteed to go counter, you are at it again.

PISCES: (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

The good relationships you have with those at the top of the tree, allows you to call into question things that you couldn't if that wasn't the case. By not appearing threatening, you are more threatening – in the least obvious of ways.

YOUR DAY

The Moon is a big pregnant belly in earthy Virgo – the sign of fertility and groundedness. Lots of awareness and care is required here – hence the general sense of a slowing down. Birth isn't far away. Expectation is high and strong.

YOUR BIRTHDAY

Practical vulnerabilities open up a treasure chest of alternative strengths. Life is not one dimensional. Whenever we forget, it brings us back and makes us remember. Your big heart is for understanding. Pull out all stops for love.
