Your April 2008 Horoscope

Aries (3/21 – 4/20)Overconfidence could land you in hot water this month. You are totally charged up and ready to face each day and make your mark. That’s all to the good, but not when you charge and push others, especially family members and the boss. Tone down your enthusiasm a little and be a team player and true leader you are. The New Moon brings you incentive for a fresh Solar New Year and fresh start

Taurus (4/21-5/21)Travel is prone to delays and cancellations, and information is tough to come by at times this month, Taurus. Hurdles are also likely if you are involved in a legal matter, but the potential is good for eventual success. If you plan to start school this summer or next fall, apply or take an entrance exam the last two weeks of the month. Life gets better as the month unfolds.

Gemini (5/21-6/20) As your thoughts begin to turn inward this month, use this time to tune into your sub-conscious through meditation and a daily walk, and allow your buried hopes and wishes to emerge into consciousness. You might discover that what you think you want isn’t really what you want at all, or isn’t quite on target. You may feel that there is a better and simpler way to achieve your goals.

Cancer (6/21-7/22)You again want to, and may try to, do it all this month, Cancer. Being too optimistic will be your challenge. It’s simply that you feel all your current opportunities are irresistible. Nonetheless, you’ll do yourself no favors if you commit and then cannot follow through. Some Cancers may fall in love on the Full Moon in Scorpio on the 20th. Others will commit to a lifetime relationship. Although April brings opportunities of significant financial gains, you’ll also need to be alert for a brewing conflict and controversy.

Leo (7/23-8/22)You feel a load lifted from your shoulders on the New Moon. Last July, you found it useful to take on more responsibility and self-discipline in order to accomplish new goals. Now you can begin to see how things will shape up. There are four months to go with your current plan, and one year before the pressure shifts to a new arena. Part of your self-improvement program involves presenting yourself in a new way. You’re seeing yourself differently and changing your appearance to reflect your new identity.

Virgo (8/23-9/22)Don’t be surprised if the Full Moon in Scorpio on the 20th urges you to get away from it all. Make reservations for next month or opt for a quick weekend together with your sweetheart, rather than a vacation. You might want to get involved with a volunteer group or a one-time fund-raising activity for a good cause. In addition to helping those less fortunate, it could result in a lucky break or a new romance, either of which could also come through a friend or new acquaintance.

Libra (9/23-10/22)Be very cautious in whom you put your trust this month, Libra. Someone could talk a good line and mislead you in regard to money matters. Be especially cautious if you hire someone for home repair or purchase appliances or furnishings. An exciting and potentially lucrative opportunity could suddenly pop up. Follow through, but only if it doesn’t require a financial investment.Your financial picture is especially positive although expenses may arise after the 20th. You could profit from a salary increase, bonus or family gift.

Scorpio (10/ 23-11/22)Your determination will be above the norm the two weeks following the Full Moon in Scorpio on the 20th. That’s great, but you’ll also have a tendency to overdo it and push yourself – and others – to the max. Go easy and enjoy the extra attention that comes your way. People will find your magnetic aura irresistible. Springtime is playtime. See friends and enjoy evenings in with a hobby or another leisure-time activity so you’re rested and ready for what will be a fast paced three weeks at work.

Sagittarius (11/23-12/21)Be kind to your budget this month, as you’ll have a tendency to splurge. Without even realizing it you could come up against some sizeable consumer debt and the accompanying high interest. This is one of the best months of the year for you to get into shape and lose a few pounds. Begin a new exercise program on your own or at the gym. Take a class in an individual sport, such as tennis or racquetball.

Capricorn (12/22-1/19) Overall, family relationships will remain positive. Continue to emphasize communication and compromise. It is also possible you’ll need to schedule a domestic repair or replace an appliance. You will be put in touch with some fascinating people. Among them could be a terrific networking contact, who sends you thinking in new directions. Friends will influence your life in amazing ways the last two weeks of the month.

Aquarius (1/20-2/18) Continue to go easy on the gas and be especially careful behind the wheel., April’s planetary line up could trigger an accident at the most unexpected moment. Although that makes a weekend get-away unwise, you can begin to plan your summer vacation on-line. If your goal is to purchase a new home, begin your search after the 20th. Although you may not find what you want until May, you can look at possibilities to get an idea of cost, and pre-qualify for a mortgage if you intend to buy.

Pisces (2/19-3/20) You’ll be so determined, so focused, on achieving a goal that it will be tough to remain objective at times. This can prompt you to push yourself – and others – too hard. Step back and let your easy side prevail; this will lead you to success. Later in the month you will want to expand your horizons and explore new territory. A day trip is a good way to refresh your spirit or a getaway weekend with friends, family or your partner.
