What have the stars got in store for you?
ARIES
Despite April being a “birthday” month for many of you, it looks like there are going to be times when it’s a bit of a slog. Routines are annoyingly predictable and there is a mood of frustration and impatience which makes you want to break those old routines and do something wildly different. Between the 3rd and 10th you may get the chance to do exactly that, so make the most of it!
Partners and spouses act like a bit of a hand brake on a fast car; they are nervous of any change to the status quo and in lots of little ways, seek to slow you down. Without being patronising, you need to talk to them, quietly and encouragingly, and firmly point out that while the “status quo” may be okay for them, it’s no longer good enough for you. Some compromises need to be found, and can be found, and need to be found, otherwise you’ll be looking for a new motor with a more co-operative braking system. I don’t think there is going to be any kind of major argument here, but there are going to be some awkward and potentially tense conversations!
Travel aspects are strong for the 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th and especially so if there are some important reunions on the horizon. The 20th or 21st is a “green light” period on the work scene, and you can look forward to some special celebrations on the 29th or 30th. A very private and discreet conversation with a family member will take place before the end of the month which will have a long term effect on you both.
TAURUS
It might be grey and wet outside but your spirit is telling you that spring is here and your emotions respond to this in a very positive way. A little bit of impulsiveness between the 4th and the 9th does you no harm, and overall there should be a bit of a boost to your social life. Finances not brilliant, but a darn sight better than they have been in the past! Nevertheless, you will be giving a lot of thought to your long term financial situation and trying to figure out ways in which you might make it more secure.
April 29th should be a bit of a red letter day leading to a very sore head on the morning of the 30th. On more than one occasion throughout the month you will get drawn into other peoples’ problems and may find yourself having to act as advisor or counsellor. Be careful here and choose your words wisely, for if someone does follow your advice, and the manure still hits the fan, it will be all too easy for them to point the finger in your direction and blame you for their predicament.
There should be some good news around the 17th in connection with business deals or future career prospects, and while this is applicable to everyone in Taurus, it is especially pertinent to those working in any kind of artistic or creative occupation. Although it is still months away, you will find yourself looking forwards to the autumn of the year, secure in the knowledge that at that time there will be some recognition of your talents. You might say your “genius” but I’ll just say your “talents”!
GEMINI
Younger members of the sign have a load of fun with anything and everything that has “new” stamped on it, which includes friends, jobs, and even romances! Older folks look for a quieter lifestyle, hanging on to old habits and traditions. Regardless of age, expect some changes to domestic routines between the 10th and the 15th and again around the 21st.
For female members of the sign there is a subliminal undercurrent of worry and concern for the health of someone close to them. There is nothing they can do about this, and it would be both crass and stupid to say “don’t worry” for at the end of the day, we are all but only human and we do worry about the welfare of our loved ones. Therefore, instead, let us say be thankful for what you’ve had, for what you’ve got, and for what you still might have for as long as you can have it.
On a much brighter note, Gemini gentlemen (especially those of a certain age) get a new lease of life, causing some of them to revert to some kind of second childhood, and if there is an element of impulsiveness and mischievousness in their behaviour, perhaps this is to be celebrated rather than criticised.
Career minded members of the sign can look forward to making a lot of progress throughout April, with elements of promotion in the wind, along with recognition of past efforts and labours. Optimum period for this is between the 19th and 27th.
CANCER
April brings a very positive boost of energy and the urge to “spring clean” in just about every department of your life will be irresistible. As such, this is a month in which a lot of junk gets jettisoned, leaving you feeling a whole lot tidier and considerably lighter… This might even apply to diets and exercise regimes, so enjoy – if you can!
Without wishing to sound sexist, I think that ladies of the sign might be splashing the cash on luxuries, and if I mention wardrobes, I don’t mean those big old wooden things that you put in the corner of your bedroom. If new cars are being bought (sorry again to sound sexist if I say this might be a bloke thing) they might not be Porsches or Bentleys, but nor do I think they’ll be Ford Mondeos or Fiat Puntos. There is some reassurance here, because Cancerians are canny when it comes to cash, are you’re not likely to be splashing it if you haven’t got it to splash!
A sour note creeps in with regard to parent-child relationships. Relationships are changing in this domain, and the reins of control are most definitely not in your hands. This might be a good thing for you in the long run, but I doubt you’ll see it in that light at the time. Troublesome teens… well, quite frankly, they can cause a lot of trouble, can’t they?
LEO
With the advent of the spring there is the acquisition of some clarity, both mental and emotional, and this in itself will go a long way in clearing obstacles from your pathway and providing you with brighter and more positive vision of your own future. You get a firm grasp on what are the really important things in your life and respond accordingly. This is good news for you, and just as importantly, it is good news for those most closely associated with you on a personal level. Road blocks are removed and chains become unlocked, and you can start moving forward with a lot more confidence and clear vision.
Overall, April should be a fairly good money month with some good news coming in around the 2nd, 3rd or 4th leading to the acquisition of more funds around the 20th. You may be tempted to spend this money impulsively, especially if it is money you didn’t expect to receive, but far better you shove it in a bank account or a sock under the bed until it is really needed a bit later on. Still on the subject of money, anything to do with property seems to be relevant at the moment, along with insurance and/or pensions.
Gentlemen of the sign, especially those, say, between 18 and 32, should be on guard against interference in their affairs by an older woman. This lady might mean well, but her meddling in your life must be seen as something more significant than just a nuisance, possibly with long term ramifications. It might be cruel advice, but nip this one in the bud.
VIRGO
A bright and breezy month with some specific high points linked in with all the nines – the 9th, the 19th and the 29th. You may be tempted to push the boat out a bit, especially on the aforementioned dates, but why not? If there is an element of fun and excitement in the air, you’ve worked for it and you flaming well deserve it. So, don’t hold back! Having said all that, there is a bit of a curious anomaly insofar as you may well find yourself setting up savings plans, pension schemes, and maybe even new mortgages – anything, in fact, which secures long term fiscal solvency. Perhaps this is an example of getting the best of both worlds?
Middle yeared (please note I did not say middle aged!) members of the sign might find themselves responding to health concerns by taking up some sort of sport or other exercise regime, also anything which can reduce stress levels such as yoga or meditation, or maybe just some long walks in the countryside, might be extremely beneficial. Within yourself you’re feeling fine, but there are perhaps a couple of nuisance niggles demanding some attention. Sleep patterns spring to mind as one example, and ongoing problems with indigestion could easily be another.
Relationships seem to be an even keel, although some contact with an old flame might cause a bit of a wobble, and although your social life leaves little to be desired, it could be improved upon. New hobbies for some, perhaps some political activism for others, or indeed anything which brings you into contact with new faces and creates potential new friendships.
LIBRA
A moody start to the month caused by a sense of restriction. There are so many things you would like to do, but commitments and duties tie you down. Something shifts mid-month when a friend or close ally shows you a way out, but you’ll have to be brave enough to break the egg that makes the omelette. If this leads to some family conflict, you must fight for your freedom. If that sounds a bit too melodramatic, just place it in the context of what is going on in your own life – and in your heart and mind! Where relationships and jobs are concerned, despite what you might think, you’re probably a lot better off than some people I can think of, but the question is, is this enough for you? And if it is, just how long for? Putting it bluntly, you need to do a bit of clear thinking and you need to have a plan! And for all of that, you need to find some time and space.
With regard to more mundane matters, a member of the opposite sex will be doing their best to please you, especially during the first week of the month. You might not notice their efforts, but you need to notice! So, pay attention to the nuances of moods and attitudes around you. Some new job opportunity will be under review between the 8th and the 20th and during the last few days of the month, you might (just might) begin to feel a change in the wind if events start falling into place that removes some of the tension within you. This might have something to do with travel aspects and unexpected journeys that crop up at the 11th hour around the 28th, 29th or 30th.
SCORPIO
Some disappointment when someone breaks a promise or betrays a confidence. You could fly into a justifiable rage, but far better to bide your time and reassess your options, for as one door closes, another surely opens. Closing doors in the first two weeks of April, opening doors during the last couple of weeks. This process reinforces the old Yorkshire adage that says “if yer want summat done proper do it thee bloody sen!” and armed with this knowledge and awareness, you’ll realise that it’s no bad way of going about doing things. In other words, in all things take the initiative and don’t wait for other people to make up their minds before striking out in pursuit of your own agendas.
As April progresses you might be accused of impatience and a notable lack of tact and diplomacy. In my own opinion this is a load of old bull dung, and should be ignored. Arguably you have been patient for quite long enough and it’s time to say some of the things that need to be said and should have been said ages ago.
On a more parochial footing, when someone close to you drops a major bollock, at least you’ll be able to say that you saw it coming. Perhaps around the 6th or 7th an old enemy (someone of the same sex as yourself) seems to be softening with a small gesture of friendship and rapprochement. Watch out for problems with transport between the 13th and 19th and gentlemen of the sign may have to make necessary journeys around the 25th – 30th.
SAGITTARIUS
Irrespective of whether you’re a girl or a guy, you simply must trust your instincts and intuition throughout April, especially in all affairs of the heart, and especially if you’re confronted with any kind of awkward decision. Sorry to be blunt, but younger females in any kind of sexual relationship, need to tighten up on their birth control.
Now, please don’t think I’m just referring to silly teenagers who are so deeply in love that they lose all vestiges of common sense, because any woman under, say 35, is a candidate in this area if the “lurve” energy is allowed to get in the way of sensible caution. Also, there are many distractions at this time, some of them financial, others relating to work pressures, not to mention the demands of family. So easy to get careless in the heat of the moment.
Sagittarian males seem to enjoy a less complicated month, and as such there can be real progress in generating the harmony which brings people together and keeps them together. The good news here in connection with all affairs of the heart is that a number of problems now seem to be getting resolved one way or the other, and there are calmer waters on the horizon.
CAPRICORN
Some fairly strong feelings of domestic claustrophobia, so execute a change of routines, take a bit more leisure time, and confront any problems you might be having in connection with sleep and diet. On a brighter note, there is some encouragement from lovers and partners, and you can look forward to and important reunion between the 4th and the 13th, even if like Mohammed, you need to go to the mountain rather than waiting for the mountain to come to you.
While some doors remain annoying closed in your face, other portals begin to open. This is a subtle process at first, but it gathers momentum throughout the summer, but is clearly kicked off by the events of April! Many of yesterday’s compromises and sacrifices gradually begin to be rewarded and slowly but surely you will find yourself able to divest yourself of some of the chronic negativity which besets you from time to time. Long term financial security becomes a worrying issue, but see this as a challenge rather than as a problem.
April is also a month during which you experience a spark of spirituality, and as such there will be a growing interest in all things appertaining to faith and mysticism. On the downside, April may also be a month in which there is a parting of the ways and you have to say goodbye to an old friend, be it a pet, a car, a clapped out fridge or a wobbly sofa.
AQUARIUS
DIY and home improvement schemes are on this month’s agenda, but you’ll still be itching for more major changes in your domestic lifestyle. Overseas interests become quite important and there is a part of you that wants to go and find your own desert island. Partners and spouses find it hard to be sympathetic, because they don’t really know how you feel. Maybe you need to try a bit harder to explain your innermost thoughts and feelings, but there are none so deaf as those who will not hear – so some of you are just going to have to go it alone.
Some health concerns may be relevant this month, possibly with regard to yourself, but more probably in connection with other people close to you… and this, I might add, is more likely to affect male members of the sign rather than the ladies. As for the girls… Oooh, a little word of warning here, because while you might think you’re in charge of ongoing situations, you’re not, and you need to tune in a little more astutely to the needs and concerns of your male partners!
For all Aquarians there is a subliminal mood of restlessness and dissatisfaction. In my opinion, it can be quite easily dealt with, but not before it is recognised and acknowledged… Now that is quite enough of the “down” side, so on a brighter note, around the 20th a family decision is made which goes the way you want it to, which in itself removes some elements of worry and tension and 24 hours either side of the 28th you will achieve a small but very important ambition – or if nothing else, will be told that it’s on its way.
PISCES
Some change in financial priorities which could easily tie in with changes to job routines. April is an optimistic month where money is concerned, but (a) you do need to work at getting back something which is owed to you and (b) resist the temptation to “lend” anyone a sum of money, no matter how small. This could easily lead to a compromised friendship. What you might perceive as a “loan” could easily be seen by the recipient as a “gift”.
Anything to do with wills, legacies, insurance companies, banks and lawyers, and indeed all other aspects of bureaucracy, will have some relevance throughout April, but I don’t think there is any threat or danger here – and if anything the reverse is true inasmuch that this whole process seems to be working for you rather than against you. Therefore if there are contracts and documents to be signed, don’t hesitate, and sign ‘em with a flourish!
With regard to jobs and careers, expect some small changes around the 10th which will lead to something much more important two or three months down the road, also please note that this is a very opportune period for ladies who are self-employed or who are the bosses of their own businesses.
