Horoscope:GENERAL
Ready to join forces? This month, the Sun travels through your opposite
sign, Aries, until April 19th. Your closest relationships come to the
forefront—along with your attitude about love. Although Libra is
the sign of partnership, you’re not one to rush into commitment.
It’s time to quit procrastinating. You need to make a decision,
choose a direction or take a firm stand. Don’t lead people on—either
move closer or call it a day.
The key principle? Know thyself. You’ll get a nice, clear look at yourself on April 9th. That day, the Libra full moon shines its spotlight on you, helping you really own what matters to you, and giving you the power to go for it. The last six months of your life come together beautifully at this peak moment.
After the Full Moon epiphany, you may be ready to move forward into a deeper level of intimacy or sharing with others. The Sun moves into Taurus, your eighth house of joint ventures, on April 19th. While some of your most raw or tender emotions may come up, that’s not a bad thing. Life can’t always be pretty or picture-perfect. Sometimes, we have to deal with our own “shadow” before we can see the light. In April, you’ll have a chance to experience this transformation.
LOVE & RELATIONSHIPS
It’s time to bring balance (that old Libra buzzword) back to your
love life. The Sun, Mercury, Mars and Venus all travel through Aries, your
seventh house of committed partnerships. Matters of the heart are a priority—and
it won’t all be sunshine and roses. Venus, your ruling planet, has
been retrograde (backward) since March 6th, a challenging time for love.
For many Libras, old relationship issues resurfaced, or perhaps someone
from your past came back around. Was it worth a second chance? Time will
tell. If you’re in a relationship, there may have been a few bumps
in communication with your mate, and possibly even a breakup.
Venus retrograde ends on April 17th, so hang tight until then. From April 10th-30th, Mercury helps you have important conversations with a partner. Libra, your relationship needs to evolve as you do. Are you operating on old habits that no longer work? For example, you might be baby-talking or using cutesy nicknames, killing off the sexy “adult” energy. Such patterns are hard to break, but worth it. After April 23nd, Mars enters Aries, bringing a passionate edge to your relationships. Mars can raise tension, so don’t dump your stress on your mate. Find a healthy outlet for your anxiety instead of bringing it home.
CAREER & MONEY
This month, the planets emphasize partnerships and long-term wealth, rather
than daily income. Review any contracts and legal agreements you’ve
signed, and get everything in writing. If you’re in debt, you might
even negotiate with lenders for a better interest rate or even a consolidation
package. Real estate, stocks and other assets may not be worth what they
once were, but that doesn’t mean you can’t make a savvy investment
or a profitable sale. A nice tax return could come your way after the
Sun enters Taurus on the 19th.
On the 25th, the Taurus new moon falls in your wealth sector. If you haven’t set up a financial strategy, map one out for the next six months. Remember: a penny saved is a penny earned, so slash any excess expenses. The Libra full moon on April 9th could bring a career triumph. Whatever you’ve been working on since around your birthday could really gel now. Position yourself to be noticed on that day.
HEALTH & FITNESS
Go, Libra, go! Motivator Mars is in Pisces until April 22nd, helping you
start a fitness routine. Curb excess stress and perfectionism. If you’re
trying to shape up for spring, do it from a place of body love, focused
on good health rather than looking like a swimsuit model. You’re
beautiful no matter what! You may need a few extra reminders from April
12th-24th, when Venus retrograde dips back into Pisces. Get a checkup,
toss old clothes that are worn out or misshapen, and make sure your diet
has the proper nutrients. Libra, you can be vain or superficial, so put
down the mirror. Reconnect with your beauty from the inside out.
You’ll need to pay attention to your mental health, Libra. As we’ve mentioned in previous months, strict Saturn is retrograde until May 16th in your sector of healing and the subconscious. All year, Libras have been dealing with old baggage and early childhood patterns. You may even have suffered from insomnia or nightmares. Your emotions and dreams are pointing you to where there’s work to be done.
This will intensify from April 4th-September 11th, when Pluto goes retrograde in your family sector. Old pain or dynamics with your parents could resurface. 2009 is a year of cleaning out those psychological cupboards. We continue to recommend therapy for Libras. It’s not easy work, but once you start, it will be far less daunting than you think.
