Forecast for April 5-18

Jupiter enhances optimism but also causes travel snafus when the carefree planet collides with Mercury on the 3rd-4th. Additionally, Jupiter turns retrograde on the 5th for four months, causing some rethinking of travel arrangements, education, spiritual beliefs and expansion in general. Next, spirituality and imagination get a boost when Mars transits through Pisces April 6-May 14. Spiritual beliefs and other strongly held ideas might be challenged, however, when Mercury clashes with revolutionary Pluto April 9th-10th. Mercury inspires groundbreaking ideas when it transits through Aries April 10-26. More creative thinking is inspired by Venus in Gemini April 11-May 7, especially in the relationship arena. And the new moon in Aires on April 17 inspires adventure and dares us to try something new.

If you know your rising sign from your time of birth, read that also.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

After the new moon in your sign, you’ll be walking a new personal path that involves plenty of communications-if you can clear away negative attitudes that hold you back. Keep your eyes open for opportunities.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Your Venus ruler entering Gemini brings personal and professional opportunities through networking and travel, so focus on communications now. Also, seek out ties from the past to assist you after the new moon.

Gemini (May 21-June 21)

A personal challenge, possibly from someone in authority, may come your way around the 3rd and again on the 9th, so speak wisely. The new moon brings opportunities through friends and groups. Socialize!

Cancer (June 22-July 22)

The new moon sets you on a new or enhanced career path, so now is the time to review your goals. Travel plans go into high gear after the 6th, but be sure to double-check travel arrangements on the 3rd-4th and 9th-10th.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Careless or willful words can unhinge your relationship on the 3rd-4th and again on the 9th-10th. Socializing soars after the 11th. And the new moon opens a door that can lead to a travel or education opportunity.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Watch communications that involve a family member or a home project on the 3rd-4th and 9th-10th. And the new moon brings a new financial cycle and gives you the urge to do some material and emotional spring cleaning.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

The new moon brings a new cycle of activity with your significant other. Your talent for seeing the other person’s point of view will be needed when communication challenges arise on the 3rd-4th and 9th-10th.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Venus deepens intimacy after the 11th-if you can tame your willfulness (defensiveness?) that arises on the 9th-10th. And the new moon is a great time to begin a diet or enhance your exercise regimen.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Watch out for overblown talk on the 3rd-4th and tricky communications on the 9th-10th. On a more pleasurable note, the new moon energizes romance, which is further enhanced by Venus after the 11th.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You may be tempted to promise more than you can deliver at the beginning of April. A past decision or plan may need revising around the 10th. And the new moon brings a new cycle of family activities.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Extreme spending may overtake you around the 3rd and again on the 10th. Communications soar after the 10th and especially after the new moon, which presents networking opportunities to promote your ideas.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Mars in your sign April 6-May 14 gives you a burst of energy to pursue your aspirations and overcome challenges. Just watch communications on the 3rd-4th and 9th-10th. And the new moon presents a financial opportunity.
