Horoscopes: Friday, April 3

ARIES: (Mar 21 – Apr 20)
You are the lynch-pin in a tricky piece of communication. With moods expressed and positions dug in, it will be decisiveness that rules the day. Be sure that you don't act blindly. Be crystal clear. Once put on the spot you can be this.

TAURUS: (Apr 21 – May 20)
You derive great pleasure from the fact that your emotions are being taken into consideration. They aren't being indulged but they are being acknowledged. To be respected so, is a sure-fire way to win your justly famous loyalty.

GEMINI: (May 21 – June 21)
Your desire to be respected and treated as an equal, in places where you aren't, has got you hot under the collar. As in the samurai tradition, the moment you flash with anger, you have lost your battle. Find power and peace together.

CANCER: (June 22 – July 22)
The Moon in Cancer is filling you with sentiment. Others are threatened by the strength of your emotions. Rather than get their noses out of joint, take a conservative option. To go slow now is to go faster down the track.

LEO: (July 23 – Aug 22)
Emotions are on the march. The Moon in Cancer, with all it's watery flow, is disturbing the fire in all you fire signs. Your heart knows what your mind doesn't, so listen to it. It takes a lot to find understanding but it is well worth it.

VIRGO: (Aug 23 – Sept 22)
By being reflective, you manage to avoid some of the pickles that your mates are in. The only way to truly get a handle on this difficult situation is to listen. The art of listening has no end to it's available depths. Resolve conflict.

LIBRA: (Sept 23 – Oct 23)
You are able to see a way ahead that is not so clear to many around you. Don't keep what you know a big secret. Put it out. Make it a real live flesh and blood offering. Accept the fact that change is inevitable and go fully with it.

SCORPIO: (Oct 24 – Nov 21)
You are absolutely intrigued by what is going on around you. Your friends and adversaries are all in the most surprisingly entangled situations. The more you look, the more patterns you find. Let your fascination go bananas.

SAGITTARIUS: (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
The expansion you see is possible isn't going to be all that easy. The ship is going to creak and groan as she goes through her metamorphosis. That said, you are clear that this is a creative process - which allows you to fully support it.

CAPRICORN: (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
There are less direct encounters and more time for considering all that has been expressed. Not all of what's been said is easy to hear but there is enough truth in it for it to be considered. Come through the forest into the light.

AQUARIUS: (Jan 20 – Feb 18)
Though you are a hotbed of foresight, expansion and healing, you are doing it lightly. Others are in heavy weather but you are skipping through the sunshine. Since you are in this state, freely share your optimism and encourage others.

PISCES: (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
You have energy to burn. Mars, the Planet of drive, is in Pisces, revving you up and sending you down the road at speed. You love being this emotionally engaged. To be able to give yourself and lose yourself fully, is real bliss.

YOUR DAY
There is a tricky turn in the road. The only way to navigate it properly, is slowly and with a lot of awareness. Not everybody is so switched on. There are various tensions in the air but also an incredible array of solutions arising.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
In checking your unbridled dance, you gain the opportunity to bring a whole new layer of awareness to your actions. Even the moods and misunderstandings you're navigating are an endlessly fascinating field of re-education.
