PREVIOUS THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY March 31 2025 to April 6 2025 Monday March 31 Monsieur Eiffel The Eiffel Tower is one of the most famous buildings in the world. Named after the engineer who constructed it, Gustave Eiffel, who was known as the 'magician of iron', it opened officially on this day, back in 1889 and, believe it or not, was only supposed to stand for 20 years! Although we might not be able to construct anything as spectacular or long-lasting as this iconic feat of engineering, in the legacy of the Solar Eclipse, by channelling our creativity, we can work transforming magic. Tuesday April 1 April's Japes Today is April Fool's Day. Although no one can pinpoint its origins, the practice of telling tales and pranking people seems to go back for hundreds of years. People used to compete to see how far they could astound other folks; and then put them out of their misery by shouting 'April Fool'! Maybe it's because it's hard to differentiate fact from fiction that the tradition is less popular these days? But making someone laugh by doing something silly is surely a practice worth practicing! Wednesday April 2 Why do Fools Fall in Love Why do fools fall in love? It's a good question to ask on the day after April Fool's Day. We'd all welcome more love in our lives. Yet we all know the perils of romantic idealism; it can be so intoxicating that it blinds us to the reality of what's actually going on. With retrograde Venus in Pisces, whose ruler, Neptune is now at home in fiery Aries, although we need to stay grounded, by tapping into the imaginative energy we can find ways to rekindle relationships so that they bring more joy. Thursday April 3 Rainbow Day National Rainbow Day celebrates the beautiful phenomena that sometimes grace our skies, and encourages us to seek symbols of hope and magic. It's a reminder to pause, gaze upwards, and remind ourselves of the beauty of nature. These days, when the rainbow colours have come to represent equality, inclusivity and diversity, it's a chance to question our unconscious biases; we've all got those! By opening our hearts and minds, we can bring hope and magic into our own worlds. Friday April 4 A New Look With two celestial titans aligning, it's a big day in the astrological calendar. The link between the Cosmic Teacher Saturn and innovative Uranus is exact. It's a chance to blend traditional practices with inventive ideas and create new alliances. This weekend, with a blend of pragmatism, seriousness, novelty, and originality, we can access experimental, modern ways to work towards realising important goals. Dedication is key. If we do our best, we can work transformative magic. Ready? Saturday April 5 Your Weekly Horoscope As Mercury, which has been retrograde since mid-March, turns direct this week, it brings opportunities to clear up unfinished business. It might though, take a while for us to adjust to the developments going on around us in the wider world before we start to see real progress. Yet even though the path ahead isn't straightforward, with Venus (love and pleasure) making a delightful link to Uranus, be on the look-out for signs of hope. If we're brave enough to consider new ideas, we can move towards a brighter future. Back to Index           Oscar and Cainer's Daily Zodiac Forecasts
