Horoscope:GENERAL
Spread your joie de vive over the first three weeks of April.
The Aries Sun visits your eleventh house, filling your dance card with
parties, visitors and social invitations. You can expect to spend plenty
of time in a crowd! Network and make connections, especially online. The
eleventh house rules technology, so be sure to use tools like Twitter,
Facebook and LinkedIn to stay in touch with your many contacts.
On April 19th, the Sun moves into Taurus, your twelfth house of rest, healing and endings. You’re at the end of your annual zodiac cycle. Don’t push yourself too hard, as you’ll need extra rest. Wind down, tie up loose ends and make way for the Gemini Sun on May 20th. Hold off on new ventures until then.
Family and home matters continue to challenge you, as strict Saturn has been retrograde (backward) in your domestic sector since New Year’s Eve. Mother-daughter relationships are especially turbulent. You may be feeling overcrowded at home, or perhaps suffering from empty nest syndrome. Hang in there, Gemini. Relief comes when Saturn goes direct on May 16th.
LOVE & RELATIONSHIPS
Romance blooms on April 9th, when the Libra full moon illuminates your
love and fertility sector. You’re ripe with passion and feeling
bold. A pregnancy (or news of one) is possible. Plan a steamy date night,
because you’ll need an evening to remember.
The rest of the month is a romantic minefield. Don’t go in unarmed! Love-planet Venus is retrograde (backward) March 6th-April 17th. During this cycle, you run hot and cold, flipping between icy detachment and sudden anger flare-ups. Erratic emotional behavior won’t win you fans. For some Geminis, a blossoming romance could get stuck in the “friend zone”’—not that this is necessarily a bad thing. With your history of quick infatuations, it wouldn’t hurt to build a real connection first.
However, you may be blocking true intimacy by refusing to open your heart beyond a certain point. Well, Gemini, now’s your chance to learn. Transformational Pluto will be retrograde April 4th-September 11th in your intense eighth house. You can expect to face some of your darker emotions—like jealousy, suspicion and distrust. It won’t be easy to sit with these feelings. If you can weather this challenge, you’ll also gain access to the makings of real love, like vulnerability, intimacy and oneness.
CAREER & MONEY
Your career is a bright spot this month. Motivator Mars is in Pisces, your
tenth house of success and leadership, until April 22nd. Put your plans
into action and map out your goals. You’ve got the energy to “go
for it” now. Mars moves into your eleventh house of networking
and technology April 23rd-May 31st. Build a website and create a marketing
plan for your ventures.
One caveat: With Pluto retrograde in your eighth house of wealth April 4th-September 11th, risky investments aren’t favored. The eighth house rules real estate, taxes, debt, credit cards and large sums of money. As an impulsive sign, you let money fly through your fingers, but during this cycle, be as cash-conservative as possible. Focus on paying off old debts, evaluating your portfolio and making sure your money is working hard for you.
HEALTH & FITNESS
A healthy mind equals a healthy body in April. With your ruler Mercury
in your karmic twelfth house April 10th-30th, your words and thoughts
carry more weight than you know. It’s all about the power of positive
thinking. Stay away from gossip and nay-saying; anything that takes the
wind out of your sails. Unhappiness will quickly manifest as lowered
energy, a weakened immune system, even depression.
To keep your attitude upbeat, try spiritual books, audio downloads and self-created mantras. A cleanse or detox can also remove harmful elements from your system. Since the twelfth house rules the subconscious, you might even try hypnotherapy or listen to soothing affirmations while you sleep. Once your brain goes into rest mode, it will do its own natural cleansing. Make sure your environment supports this. Begin winding down early in the evening. Avoid stimuli like TV, computer or stressful conversations—and create a haven of rest.
