Aries Horoscope
This continues to be an important
time for Aries; at last you have the opportunity to make
some breakthroughs and do what you have dreamed about
for years. However, there are decisions to be made so do
make them and be decisive! You could be challenged to
make quite an important decision around the time of the
New Moon in your sign on April 3. This new Moon is
joined by Jupiter and opposes Saturn. This means that
this Aries New Moon is not quite as forthright and
spontaneous as it could be. The planets are requiring
you to be thoughtful rather than impulsive and realize
you may well be laying foundations in your life for
years to come. This could be in the area of your career,
professional life, vocation or important relationship
but even though it’s time to act – think carefully and
understand the ramifications of your decisions. Also,
Mercury is still retrograde which is ideal to re-assess
decisions and plans you made previously; you might find
that what you thought you had wanted is now slightly
different than it was. When Neptune enters Pisces on
April 4, you may begin to sense a Spiritual element
unfolding in your plans and it’s good to be open to
guidance from your higher mind or intuition during this
time so that you can more clearly see and understand
what truly is your destiny, rather than just what you
would like it to be. When the Aries Sun joins with
Jupiter on April 6 you feel confident and unlimited and
opportunities to expand your life are coming your way.
Be open to these opportunities and don’t hesitate to
take them if they feel right to you. You might want to
seek the advice of those close to you or trusted
counselors around April 17 with the Libra Full Moon
highlighting relationships and suggesting compromise.
Taurus Horoscope
You are practical and like to smell
the roses and touch the earth rather than just dream or
visualize. However, with a cluster of planets lighting
your inner, quiet self, you are being encouraged to
dream now and make plans rather than begin new ventures.
Also, you may be feeling compelled to spend quiet time
by yourself and not want to be bothered by the myriad
details of everyday life which, right now, may be a
little frustrating to you, causing you to want to
retreat even more. However, you also have quite a lot of
vitality and energy at your disposal so unless you use
it in constructive ways, it could cause you to feel
impatient. This will then dissipate the energy and cause
stress. It is better to put this energy to good use in
spiritual ways. As a Taurus, you are a natural, magnetic
healer and have abundant energy – channel this energy to
help and heal yourself and others and you will feel
better about yourself. Devote some time to building up
your inner life through prayer, directed intention, and
visualization. Soon you will be called upon to act but
right now you’re in more of a planning stage and there
are some revisions you need to make in your life right
now. Use your imagination as a creative tool to help you
bring your plans to reality; however, if these plans are
unrealistic you may get a reality check around April. On
April 20, the Sun moves into your sign and you’ll feel
more like yourself. If you’re single and seeking
romance, you could have a sudden, electrifying jolt of
attraction, when Venus joins with Uranus on April 22.
Gemini Horoscope
High energy is pretty much the
keynote this month. With Mars in Aries on April 2 and
the New Moon in Aries on April 3, you feel a boost of
energy and vitality, as well as renewed optimism. Step
up your exercise and fitness routines. It’s a good time
to launch a new project and really a great time to try
networking to promote your ideas and concepts. You will
find that your friends are supportive of you and your
plans. You always have plenty of ideas but now you may
be feeling driven to put your ideas into action.
However, don’t be overly impulsive because your ruler,
Mercury, is still retrograde and right now you probably
don’t need me to remind you. Although generally a good
time, you may be experiencing some irritations and
frustrations connected to your computer, your cell phone
and your communications in general. So, take the energy
and write down all your ideas but don’t begin anything
just yet. Wait until Mercury turns direct on April 23
and you should find this is a time to finally get things
going. Even then, Saturn is still suggesting you dip
your toe in the water rather than dive in head first.
You could find yourself in the limelight about mid-month
around April 17 and you usually don’t like to have to
commit to decisions publicly without a lot of thought;
however, right now all eyes are upon you to make that
decision and take a stand. Remember to be true to
yourself and to your heart rather than just saying the
right thing to try and appease others.
Cancer Horoscope
Be careful what you say in public
because you’re in the limelight and you may find that
you later regret something that you say. Mercury in
retrograde often causes us to say things that later get
misinterpreted or are not clear to begin with. However,
Jupiter is bringing its bounty ensuring that even though
you’re in public view and accountable, recognition and
reward is likely to come your way, despite what some may
think. Your home life is taking a lot of energy with
Saturn reminding you of your responsibilities there.
It’s a good time to do work around the house and other
projects. You may find yourself entertaining elderly
relatives or spending more time than usual with family
members. Watch what you eat and eat nurturing,
nutritious food as your digestion may be a little
delicate. Also spend time stretching as well as
exercising; breathing deeply as well as talking. Mercury
retrograde is urging you to slow the pace a little. When
the Sun enters Taurus on April 20 you will find yourself
having to spend less time in the office and more quality
time at home with loved ones. You feel good around April
27 as the planets empower you about your future goals.
However, there’s a difficult aspect of Venus to Pluto
warning you to be cautious when it comes to finances and
money-making endeavors.
Leo Horoscope
You’re raring for action this month
and the planets give you an added boost of energy and
vitality. Use it positively by heading for the gym and
stepping up your exercise routine. The month begins full
on with Mars in its home sign of Aries on April 2,
followed by the New Moon on April 3, bringing added
drama to your life. You’re always the leader, if you can
keep your ego in check, but now you can really shine. It
should be a positive month for your energy levels and an
ideal time for success at sports or competitions. This
is also a terrific time to launch new projects provided
you don’t rush into things with Mercury currently
retrograde. Wait until April 23 before you initiate
plans but use the month to work on details. Also, you
may be travelling or considering extending your
education in some way. Your goals are high and wide
right now; the sky is the limit. However, the Full on
Moon on April 17 may present you with some alternatives
and it’s good to be open now to other people’s ideas.
You are a generous, magnanimous soul when living up to
your high ideals and not allowing your basic self to
rule. Stoke up your spiritual fires and realize that
life is not all about you; you have the power and
ability to really make a profound difference to your
friends, family and to the world, if you choose to.
Virgo Horoscope
Watch out or your ruler, Mercury,
could trip you up. Being an efficient, practical Sign,
you like to feel you’re in control and sometimes
underestimate the power of ideas and inspiration to
change things. Then you feel as if your world is
spinning out of control. It may feel a little like this
and some misunderstandings or miscalculations can cause
some problems with close relationships or financial
deals. The best approach is to be like the empty cup,
prepared to listen and learn, realizing that even know
you may know a lot and be very experienced, there are
others who know more. It is always the case. Humility is
a big lesson for Virgos. On the one hand you often
underestimate your true worth; on the other hand you
overestimate your abilities. It’s time to really
understand yourself and look with an objective eye at
your real abilities; you may be surprised that they are
different from what you thought. This is partly why no
matter how much effort you put into your goals, they
seem just out of reach. Relax, breathe deeply, stretch
and nurture your inner life. Right now it’s not just
what you can achieve, but who you are that counts. You
breathe a sigh of relief when Mercury turns direct on
April 23 but you’re not quite there yet. Try and get by
with less and be grateful for what you have.
Libra Horoscope
This is a high energy kind of month
that can bring conflict but it can also propel you into
the public eye. Aggressive Mars in Aries is on April 2
affecting your relationships. You might find your focus
more on the Other than on yourself and your own needs
this month. As a Libra you strive for harmony and peace,
sometimes through conflict, but right now you might find
that the more you try to give in to others, the more
conflicts come your way. Mars is followed into Aries by
the New Moon on April 3 with some difficult aspects to
Pluto and Saturn, and Jupiter joining in bringing energy
to fan the fire. Probably the best way to deal with
potential conflicts right now is to be completely
honest, above board and don’t try any political games or
maneuvering. Head-on, Aries-style is probably your best
bet right now. Actually, this is good practice for you
to find out what it is you really want at a deeper level
(rather than to be popular) because when the Full Moon
enters your sign on April 17 this is your time to attend
and express your own needs. However, you won’t
necessarily have to go it alone because on April 20 the
Sun enters Taurus bringing the possibility of solid
allies. Relationships may again turn a little stormy
towards month end and some trust issues could arise. A
good thing is that you are learning to say no to others
when necessary instead of always trying to make peace.
Use this powerful energy to promote yourself publicly;
to step up negotiations; to make a powerful impact on
the world. You are quite capable of turning a
potentially difficult situation into a very important
one for you in which you can lay foundations for future
success.
Scorpio Horoscope
There are several planets
congregating in fellow Mars-ruled sign of Aries this
month, including the New Moon in Aries on April 3. Like
Aries, you are action-packed and so you feel like taking
care of things in April. Quite a bit of your attention
will be focused on your daily routines, your workplace,
and your everyday life rather than on your long-term
goals. It’s good to keep a positive attitude right now
rather than feeling disappointed when frustrations or
minor irritations come your way (don’t forget, Mercury
is still retrograde until April 23). The planets are
urging you to act now but also to slow down a little.
You can achieve a lot without stress if you take life a
day at a time and strive to live in the present rather
than the future or the past. Stoke up the spiritual
fires and spend time understanding and mastering your
basic self through meditation and spiritual practices.
This is a lifelong lesson for this sign of
Self-Mastery, Scorpio. It’s up to you to decide whether
you wish to remain the scorpion or become the Eagle! The
metamorphis requires hard work and discipline but is
worth the sacrifice on your part to reveal your
potential for greatness. You are a deep feeling; highly
emotional person who likes to keep your feelings under
wraps most of the time. However, you may express these
around April 11 and later April 27 when Mars and Venus
clash with Pluto causing tempers to flare. Your
relationships generally may be a little volatile right
now and the course of love will probably not run
smoothly. However, it is a good time to look at less
than satisfying relationships and see whether it really
is worth the effort maintaining them.
Sagittarius Horoscope
It’s a fiery, intense and
passionate beginning to the month with Mars and the new
Moon in fellow Fire Sign, Aries, on April 2 and 3
respectively, highlighting romance and creativity. This
would be a great time to initiate a creative project and
it’s good to be bold now in relationship matters.
However, it’s not all play and no work. Saturn is adding
a note of discipline and setting limits in these areas
urging you to be mature and wise in your decisions, even
if they are - and perhaps especially if they are
-decisions and matters of the heart. You are a person
who can be bold and outspoken, an avid truth-seeker who
desires a universal spirituality. However, when Neptune
enters your area of home and inner self from April 4 for
four months, you may feel more inclined towards peace
and meditation and a strong desire to nurture your
Spiritual self; to get more in touch with that deeper,
more mystical part of your nature. You could feel a
little ruffled from the place of peace that you desire
around April 18-21 when Mars opposing Saturn could bring
a dispute with a loved one, friend or colleague. You are
usually outspoken and honest but right now it’s good to
put on your diplomat’s hat and find a solution to avoid
damaging an important relationship. You are also feeling
more reflective than usual with Mercury still retrograde
until April 23 urging you to rethink plans and
attitudes, and revise your goals.
Capricorn Horoscope
You could experience some things
happening on the home front this month and you may find
yourself being pulled between career and home, which
could be stressful with decisions to be made. With Mars
and the New Moon in Aries on April 2 and 3, you are
called to action at home. You may find it difficult to
communicate with family members and you’re being called
to balance your responsibilities in the public with
responsibilities at home. Rather than attempt to explain
yourself to people who may not be listening, it’s
probably best to lie low and wait until April 23 when
Mercury turns direct and the channels of communication
become clearer. A good approach is to use all this
‘martial’ energy to schedule work around the home;
channel the energy in a positive way by undertaking
decorating, cleaning or house-sprucing projects. Also,
the home in astrology is connected to your inner self;
that home we carry around inside us. It is therefore a
great time to focus on energizing your inner self
through meditation, prayer and spiritual practices. A
more peaceful time begins around April 20 when the Sun
enters your fellow Earth sign, Taurus. You may need to
set some boundaries with close relationships when Venus
opposes Saturn on April 30.
Aquarius Horoscope
You may be inclined to take risks
this month with Mars in impatient Aries on April 2
followed by the New Moon there the following day.
However, try and slow down and think before you act or
speak because with Mercury retrograde until April 23 you
could impulsively say or do something you later regret.
As an Aquarian you like to be unpredictable and
sometimes enjoy shaking up staid situations or people.
You could find yourself provoking someone in authority
as the month begins but watch out that it doesn’t
backfire; the New Moon’s opposition from Saturn and
square to Pluto prefers to keep things conservative,
giving power to the status quo. Don’t worry your time
will come. Be patient and systematic if you want to get
your radical ideas or opinions accepted. You might not
feel like being nice to others to get what you want but
at least stay cool and keep your own counsel right now.
On April 21, Venus enters Aries also and is quickly
joined by Uranus. You can now benefit from unusual
people taking up your cause and now it’s time to be
outspoken about your more unconventional ideas.
Pisces Horoscope
Financial issues might be at the
forefront of your life this month when no less than six
planets gather in your area of finances and resources.
Remember, planets represent energy, so this is
potentially a good sign but there is a tendency with
Mars in Aries on April 2 and the New Moon here the
following day, for you to act impulsively regarding
finances or income. Slow down! Do use this energy to
review your finances and investments but also use it to
invest in yourself. You are your best resource so take
the time to upgrade your skills or expand your personal
quiver of arrows. Your ruler, Neptune, enters your sign
on April 4 for four months bringing strength to your
imagination, intuition, psychic powers and artistic or
musical ability. You may be feeling a little confused
right now but on April 6, the Sun joins with your
co-ruler, Jupiter, bringing you renewed feelings of
confidence and optimism. The way forward is clearer for
you and take opportunities that come your way. You may
feel a little out of balance around mid-month; be
patient and have faith that things are working out. The
best course of action to take now is be persistent and
take one step at a time. Also, consider the
ramifications of your actions and make sure what you are
involve with is of the best motive and intent. Selfless
service is the key to your happiness and fulfillment,
not selfishness. The more you push for what you want,
the more confused you will feel. Be generous kind and
compassionate now and the way will magically open up for
you.
