Horoscope:GENERAL
You’re a laser beam, Scorpio. April begins on a businesslike note,
and your mind is razor-sharp. Until the 19th, the Sun tours Aries, your
sixth house of health, fitness and organization. You’ll skip the
Marshmallow Peeps and matzo balls in favor of salad and a spreadsheet.
When you’re on a mission, no sign can concentrate like yours. Watch
a critical streak, as this cycle can make you a bit harsh on others—and
yourself.
On the 20th, the Sun moves into Taurus, your seventh house of partnerships. You could join forces on an exciting business venture, or be offered a plum contract. Romantic relationships could also develop into a serious commitment. If you’re already in love, make sure to give your mate enough quality time. After your three-week workaholic streak, your sweetie might feel a little neglected.
LOVE & RELATIONSHIPS
You’re quite the catch this month, with sexy Mars visiting your romantic
fifth house until April 22. Without even trying, you’ll turn heads—and
no, it’s not just Spring Fever. If you’re single, be bold.
Drop that mysterious Scorpio act and flirt shamelessly. Coupled Scorpios
can ramp up the passion level with a few sexy moves (use that dirty mind
of yours), and just by having fun. Laughter is an aphrodisiac!
There’s one caveat: Love-planet Venus, which has been retrograde (backward) since March, touches your fifth house from April 12th-24th. Retrogrades can bring back people from the past, so don’t be surprised if an ex resurfaces. You may need to work through unfinished business, or end things for good. Before you open any doors, think it through. This person could stir up more drama than you expect. Is it worth bringing that back into your life for a shot at reconciliation? It’s hard for an obsessive sign like yours to get people out of your system, so don’t minimize the risk factor.
Love takes a serious turn after April 19th, when the Sun moves into Taurus, your committed relationships sector. On April 25th, the Taurus new moon helps begin a brand-new chapter in love. If that’s not worth saying buh-bye to toxic exes, what is? A different attitude, a new style of relating—whatever it is, begin now and you’ll see thriving results over the next six months.
CAREER & MONEY
How do you get to Carnegie Hall? Pratice, practice, practice. Remember
than corny-yet-true old saying as you toil away this month. You’re
doing the necessary work to ensure that your goals are launched on a
solid foundation. It all counts: everything from your filing system to
your punctuation to a well-prioritized schedule. The best investments
you can make this month are an electronic label-maker (for your files),
storage boxes and a stopwatch (to make sure phone calls don’t eat
into your day).
If you’ve got proposals to write or a presentation to give, April 10th-30th is a fortuitous time to pitch a big idea. Communicator Mercury is in Aries, your orderly sixth house, helping you think through all the important points. Just make sure you don’t go into too much detail. Find a way to explain your ideas with elegant simplicity.
HEALTH & FITNESS
On April 4, transformational Pluto goes retrograde until September in your
third house of communication. “Analysis paralysis” is your
biggest foe this month. Shadowy old thoughts emerge from deep in your
subconscious, and it will be easy to lose perspective. You’ll really
need to monitor your thought patterns, as you could find yourself obsessing
and even slipping into depression. Don’t spend too much time alone.
It’s important that you talk things over with a confidante or therapist
to give yourself a healthy reality check.
Take a complete and total break on April 9th, when the Libra full moon illuminates your rest and healing sector. You may feel more tired than you have in days, and your thoughts won’t be clear. Forcing things or pushing yourself beyond your limits won’t be worth it.
Feeling schlumpy? Venus, planet of beauty, has been retrograde in your fitness sector since March. Until April 17th, you might have a hard time sticking to a healthy routine. On April 23rd, motivator Mars reenergizes your efforts. Mars is in your health sector until May 31. Exercise will be the perfect outlet for relieving stress, since you’ll be juggling many details during this cycle. Keep yourself nourished with healthy food and vitamins—you’ll need your strength! Working out with a trainer or partner will bring the best results after the 20th.
