Horoscope:GENERAL
After spending most of March nesting and resting, your fire returns this
month. It’s about time! The Sun is in Aries, your fifth house of
passion, creativity and love. The insecurities and passivity of last
month melt away. You’re ready to get out of the house and leap
back into action.
The fifth house rules drama and glamour, so skip the comfy clothes and dress to turn heads. This is your month to have fun and make pleasure a priority. On April 9th, the Libra full moon lights up your eleventh house of groups and friends—a perfect time for a party, reunion or event.
After the 19th, the Sun moves into Taurus, your sixth house of health, fitness and work. Hang up your dancing shoes and get down to business. After three weeks of hedonism, you’ll be ready for some order again. Sort out your files, give away old clothes and start a fitness routine. Get your life in shape for Spring and Summer—your warm-blooded sign’s favorite seasons.
LOVE & RELATIONSHIPS
April is a mixed bag for you, Sag. From March 6th-April 17th, love-planet
Venus is retrograde (backward), making it hard to feel that sexy edge.
Your passion levels could be low. Retrogrades bring back the past, and
exes often resurface during these times. Your own emotions may feel turbulent,
and drama is harder to avoid.
Fortunately, the Sun, Mercury and Mars all visit your romantic fifth house this month, compensating a bit. From April 10th-30th, communicator Mercury helps you talk things out with your partner, and to plan more romantic activities. If you’re single, an online or phone flirtation could develop into more, but don’t rush. Keep your options open and date around if you’re not sure.
Later in April, your love life improves dramatically. On the 23rd, sexy Mars enters Aries, returning your passion and desire full-force. Heads-up: you’ll be especially fertile during this cycle, which lasts until May 31st. A pregnancy is possible, so take precautions if you don’t want any buns in the oven.
CAREER & MONEY
Ugh. Challenging Saturn has been retrograde in your tenth house of career
since 2009 began, making work an uphill battle. Even if you love your
job, some part of it just isn’t coming together as quickly as you
want. With Saturn retrograde, it may be hard to accomplish goals, much
less figure out what yours are. Saturn goes direct on May 16th, but until
then, you may need to work twice as hard to accomplish half as much.
On April 4th, transformational Pluto goes retrograde in your money sector until September 11th. Old unconscious spending habits or fears about security may resurface. Go easy on the impulse shopping. This would be a good time to flip the channel when the latest doom-and-gloom news report comes on about the economy. Don’t bury your head in the sand, but know you’re apt to absorb the negative energy of whatever you hear.
Our suggestions? Create your own “stimulus” plan by finding other forms of mental stimulation—like hobbies and conversations that affirm your self-worth. Fill your life with free fun, too. Camping, gardening, hiking, biking, art—there are so many ways to spend time that don’t cost a penny but still enrich your quality of life. Avoid deprivation, and create sensory reminders of abundance, like a vision board that reflects your dreams. Stock your home with fresh flowers and keep groceries in the fridge.
HEALTH & FITNESS
The truth: few Sags are going to be counting calories while the Sun is
in pleasure-centric Aries. So go ahead and indulge for the first three
weeks of April. Enjoy those chocolate Easter eggs, and dance them off
later.
On the 19th, the Sun moves into Taurus, your sixth house of health and fitness. Now you can start your Spring training, Sag. The Taurus new moon on April 25th helps you launch a fitness program and healthy lifestyle. Try a cleanse or detox, sign up for a gym membership or begin a nutritious eating program. Browse the farmer’s markets for the first seasonal offerings, or plant your own herb and vegetable garden if the weather is warm enough. In a couple months, you could enjoy home-grown food with every meal.
