April Horoscopes
STAR OF THE MONTH
ARIES
21 MARCH - 20 APRIL
This is a year to gather resources: it’s a time for disciplined work. Though May and June may feel sluggish, your unique talents come to the fore by July. Thinking processes fall into a more logical pattern, and projects finally get the full attention they deserve. Through August, allow yourself to be guided by older or more experienced individuals. Romance also makes its mark this year. You may fall head over heels or come to a confronting watershed. As you reach this crossroad, you could be undecided over which path to take. Maybe you’re worried about your choice of travelling companion. Either way, by September, most Aries’ hearts beat with a new intensity.
TAURUS
21 APRIL – 20 MAY
There’s no denying that it’s wonderful to feel totally in sync with life. Now you can go one better. Imagine the possibilities that arise when you meet someone on precisely the same wavelength. At work, too, radical changes are likely. Perhaps you should ditch anything that’s unproductive or outmoded. Slogging towards goals can be tiresome at times, but you’re a hard worker. Something’s bound to pay off.
GEMINI
21 MAY – 21 JUNE
Some months seem to wave the insanities of the universe in your face, and April looks happy to heckle. You will have to accept that not everybody can keep up with your pace - some may even disagree with your thoughts and ideals. But you can’t just ignore this: Saturn calls for cooperation and insists that you act responsibly. The key is to match ambition with compassion.
CANCER
22 JUNE – 22 JULY
You’re probably still pinching yourself, unsure if what just happened was a dream. The truth is, your ambition and hard work should finally find their audience this month - so take advantage of any good press. Still, good fortune or fame is usually fleeting. Make sure you record all praise so that, in the future, you can hold others to their word. If they want what you have so badly, get it in writing.
LEO
23 JULY – 22 AUGUST
The planets tinker with your dream states, and, as a result, your intuition heightens - as do any latent clairvoyant abilities. Should your inner voice whisper sound advice, stop and listen. Those feeling a tad sexier than usual can look forward to a romantic fling. Watch your expectations, though, as this isn’t a rock-solid phase. For happy couples, love grows more passionate and perhaps more experimental.
VIRGO
23 AUGUST – 22 SEPTEMBER
April finds you taking a chisel to long-held beliefs that no longer serve a purpose. Your attention now shifts away from the inner world and towards the outer. Should emotional issues chip away at your relationships, new ground rules will need to be applied. Unfortunately, this may mean that some ties are broken. Whatever happens, you feel more empowered by the decisions you make. After all, they’ll be your own.
LIBRA
23 SEPTEMBER – 22 OCTOBER
April threatens to send finances into a spin. Remember, while grand plans give you something to aspire to, they can also break the bank. Fortunately, your more sensible side should step in before spending gets too out of hand. In addition, a friend or relative may want your help. If they’re being too intrusive, set them straight. Sometimes, even loved ones have to learn from their own mistakes.
SCORPIO
23 OCTOBER – 21 NOVEMBER
Scorpios could enjoy a month of passion, but it may require a change in attitude. You do have a strong and sometimes overpowering character. If the whip is wielded by mutual consent, all well and good. But abuse of personal power can alienate loved ones. Their likely response? To tell you to let up or get out. Perhaps, though, it’s freedom that you want. Soon after the 20th, an important work goal comes within reach.
SAGITTARIUS
22 NOVEMBER – 21 DECEMBER
April sees a changing of the guard. Round up your talents and get ready for greater career commitments. If you feel unqualified for what’s offered to you, don’t worry - you’re more than capable of handling whatever comes your way. It’s also a month to stay well clear of the pathologically discontented. Don’t fall victim to the clutter of others’ troubled minds. But it’s not all work. Later in April, the cosmos launches in with a romantic pick-me-up.
CAPRICORN
22 DECEMBER – 19 JANUARY
Health is always important to you, but when you feel unwell, you can sometimes imagine yourself worse off than you actually are. Ironically, excessive worry and overwork could end up causing the ill health you dread. Take more than the occasional break this month, or nerves really could be worn to a frazzle. Happier news: after the 20th, romantic encounters could find many Capricorns draped in little more than a bathrobe.
AQUARIUS
20 JANUARY – 18 FEBRUARY
April looks set to provide a different journey from the one you’ve meticulously mapped out. Realise from the outset that each detour is negotiable and that the trick lies in knowing there is no fast track. This month, patience is your biggest strength. Even so, it wouldn’t hurt to throw some ideas around with other like minds. With regard to romance, most Aquarians can take delight in most of what the cosmos has to offer.
PISCES
19 FEBRUARY - 20 MARCH
With today’s hectic pace, we all tend to neglect our well-being more than we should. And we all have our various little addictions. Pisceans are prone to worrying about others and have a habit of putting their needs first. If you must obsess about anyone’s health this month, make it your own. Finances also figure big-time in April, with the emphasis being on damage control. Suddenly, everything has an overpriced fee attached to it.
