They say the best time to change was yesterday, and the second-best time is today. 

This month although April fools us by kicking off with Mercury retrograde, the Solar Eclipse ensures that ongoing difficulties will soon become yesterday’s news.

ARIES 

March 21 – April 20

Inspiration isn’t polite or patient. It arrives without warning; entering without so much as a knock, and acting as if it owns the place. And it leaves without a word of warning. And when we invite it into our lives, it doesn’t always respond. How does it get away with behaving so outrageously? It knows it’s always welcome! In April, if you want inspiration to make itself at home in your world, be as expectant as you can be. The Solar Eclipse, in your sign, brings such a boost that with revitalised hope, you can achieve great things.

TAURUS 

April 21 – May 21

Everything happens for a reason. The problem is that we don’t always know what it is. It’s easy to assume we know why something’s happening, only to realise it’s happening for a different reason. Signals that seem clear can be misleading. Aargh! Even astrologers have to be careful about how they read the planet’s movements to make accurate predictions. Like everyone, if we jump to conclusions, we can get it wrong. Yet in April, as long as you reflect (rather than react) all the signs point to you having an excellent month.

GEMINI 

May 22 – June 22

Imagine you’re setting off on holiday. You’ve packed your bags, checked in at the airport, and are waiting for your flight to be called. Now… where is that book you were going to read? It’s in the bag that’s disappeared into the hold. You remembered to pack it, but you can’t access it when you want it. Frustrating. With your ruler turning retrograde, April might seem to kick off with that kind of start. Yet the Solar Eclipse brings the experiences you need when you’re on vacation. Expect enthusiasm, thrills and fun this month.

A new month lies ahead of you and, since every day is ‘the first day of the rest of your life’, you’re facing an abundance of opportunities to refresh and recreate your world. If that sounds daunting don’t panic! The Solar Eclipse signals change. Your task is to accept that things are transforming, and know that if you allow the changes to unfold, you won’t have to go through any more fresh, courageous starts for a while.

LEO 

July 24 – August 23

If you’re feeling less influential than normal, and concerned that you don’t have the authority to deal with upcoming events, April brings reassurance. The Solar Eclipse enables you to see that the sense of loss you’re experiencing is because you’re awakening to the reality of a situation. You’re becoming clearer. And, as the month progresses this clarity will lead to a much deeper understanding of what’s going on. Your insight will ensure that you’re able to make excellent decisions that bring emotional (and material) rewards. Yay!

VIRGO 

August 24 – September 23

There’s a big difference between checking somewhere out on Google maps and travelling to the area and looking around. It’s a bit like planning a dinner party and actually having people round for a meal; no matter how well-prepared you are, there are going to be surprises and challenges to deal with. Some things will go better than you expect. And some things will do the opposite. As April starts with your ruler turning retrograde, you might need to rethink some of your ideas. But that’s OK. You’ll end up stronger and happier.

LIBRA 

September 24 – October 23

You know how you feel when you walk into someone’s house and it’s spotlessly tidy? The cushions are colour co-ordinated, and plumped up. Even the sock drawers are neatly arranged. It’s easy to compare our own homes and feel we come up short. They say that cleanliness is next to godliness. But they also say that you can’t judge a book by its cover! In April, with the Solar Eclipse in your opposite sign, don’t worry about how things look. Focus on how they feel. Following your heart is key to comfort and joy this month.

SCORPIO 

October 24 – November 22

Self-help gurus talk about keeping things simple. It is, apparently, the key to an easy life. But they go on to detail lots of different ways and approaches we should use to simplify our worlds. Meanwhile, kids are taught simple maths, which they’re expected to use to work out ever more complicated equations. It’s confusing! Should you go for simple or complex this month? While you can expect the usual kinds of challenges to come your way, if you’re prepared to adapt your approach each time, your achievements will be top class.

It’s April! For uplifting news on the opportunities waiting for you, visit: cainer.com/dailymail

SAGITTARIUS 

November 23 – December 21

We can’t help taking things for granted. We expect the Sun to rise every morning. And set every night. But suppose it decides to have a duvet day? Fortunately, that’s not going to happen. Some things are always there for us, no matter what. As usual, unpredictable situations are guaranteed to pop up in April. But the spark of sunshine within you will empower you with the resources to deal with whatever comes your way. Add the power of the Solar Eclipse, and this month success is guaranteed too. Enjoy!

CAPRICORN 

December 22 – January 20

Being an industrious Capricorn, when people need help, you’re at the top of their ‘go-to’ list. It’s obvious; you’re so competently dealing with your ‘to-do’ list that you hardly notice a few additional items. But do you want to spend April running around looking after problems that other folk should be dealing with? Don’t you have enough on your plate? If you enjoy carrying extra responsibilities, go for it. But be aware that April brings opportunities with your name on them. Make sure you’ve got the energy and time to seize them.

April brings great potential for positive change. Find out more! Visit cainer.com/dm

AQUARIUS 

January 21 – February 19

Some people are philosophical about their lot in life and make do with whatever comes their way. And some people, who don’t seem to think much about anything, experience extraordinary good fortune. Is that fair? It seems that luck follows principles that defy our comprehension. And that the harder we try to grasp the way it works, the more easily it slips through our fingers. So, what kind of mindset should you adopt in order for things to go well in April? If you accept what life brings, and stay hopeful, your luck will be in!

PISCES 

February 20 – March 20

When you move into a new home, you make decisions about where to put the furniture. And that’s where it stays; you get used to the way it’s arranged. Then, one day, you might be sitting on the sofa and realise that if you shifted things around, you’d create a new vibe, and make better use of the space. With a creative shuffle it will be much improved. In April, you can use a similar technique on your life. You can find inventive, exciting (easy) ways to solve old problems which lead to a much more comfortable lifestyle.
