Horoscope:GENERAL
Spring has arrived, and it’s time to get your life in order. The
Sun is in Aries, your fourth house of home, family and foundations. For
the first three weeks of April, you should concentrate on your domestic
life: visiting relatives, Spring cleaning, even planting the first seeds
in your garden or window box. The fourth house is solitary, so mark off
some private time to do a little life inventory. You want to feel confident
and grounded on your path before taking any further steps.
Since November, you’ve been going through a major life transformation. That’s because Pluto, ruler of deep inner evolution, entered Capricorn on November 27th. At a core level, you feel things rewiring themselves—and it’s for the better. Pluto will visit for 16 years, but on April 4th, it goes retrograde (backward) until September 11th. Take a pause from all the newness and review your plans. Monitor your thoughts and actions, since old or unconscious habits can reappear. You don’t want to slip back after you’ve made so much progress.
On the 19th, you emerge from your shell into fun and romance! The Taurus Sun visits your fifth house of love and pleasure. You could use some of that. It’s been a year of hard work, and you deserve a break. Go dancing, flirt and bring passion back to all areas of your life.
LOVE & RELATIONSHIPS
Love is in the air! On April 19th, the Taurus Sun warms up your fifth house
of romance. Then, the Taurus new moon on April 25th brings more fresh
energy to your love life. You can’t expect love to fall from the
sky, so put in the time. If you’re single, date as though it were
a job: set goals, post flattering headshots on your online profile and
ask friends to set you up. Make sure you’re in it to win it.
Coupled Capricorns should invite playful, flirty energy into your world, especially in the bedroom. A few sexy games could spice things up. Make sure you’re feeling sexy, too. Trade those sweatpants for a dressier look. Put at least two non-negotiable date nights in the calendar each week, too. The fifth house rules fertility, so if you’re trying to get pregnant, the stars will help.
The one caution: Venus is retrograde until April 17th, which can cause a few romantic setbacks. This retrograde will touch your family and communication sectors. Capricorn, you’ve got some pent-up “stuff” to get out of your system. Old resentments toward family (especially parents), as well as your own negative thinking, could be causing blocks. Be careful not to project that onto others. Write in a journal, talk to a therapist and read self-help books to process any challenging emotions.
CAREER & MONEY
Bailout, schmailout—lucky Jupiter is spending 2009 in your money
sector, bringing you prosperity in any economic climate. This month, you
may want to invest in a few home improvements, even take advantage of the
real estate market. Pooling resources with a family member, especially
a female relative, could help you make a wise investment.
On April 9th, the Libra full moon illuminates your tenth house of career, leadership and success. Whatever goals or dreams you’ve been working on over the last six months will reach a manifestation point. The tenth house, which is ruled by Capricorn, can bring fame and visibility. You could receive publicity or a promotion. Do your own part to attract that attention. Present yourself as a consummate professional, attend VIP events, and make sure your public image reflects a high standard of sophistication.
HEALTH & FITNESS
The fourth house rules femininity, so for the first three weeks of April,
it’s all about self-care. Nurturing activities like yoga, massage
and meditation will refill your empty tanks. Indulge in the domestic
arts: cooking, planting, baking, and decorating will soothe your soul
and help you de-stress. Paint a room in a soft shade of blue or celadon,
buy filmy new window treatments, even set up a meditation altar.
After the 19th, the Taurus Sun gives you a burst of vitality. Power through those kickboxing and boot camp classes, or try a hip-shaking fusion class that combines African dance or salsa. They say that sex burns calories, too! Just a suggestion—one we recommend for you this month.
