March closed with Venus, the ruler of love and money, having moved to Taurus, one of the signs it rules. The full Moon was also in Venus-ruled Libra, so the month closed with a feeling of working with rather than against people to get the job done.

April kicks off shortly after the commencement of the spring equinox, which heralds in a new start that works best with a positive attitude and optimistic outlook. It’s a message to leave the past behind and open up to new adventures, possibilities, and experiences. Add to this energy a Mars Saturn connection during the first week. The solid foundations of Saturn and motivating energy of Mars combined in business-oriented Capricorn can push forward to make sound progress.

Keep in mind that during all of this activity, Mercury, the communication planet, will be retrograde through to mid-April. As such, you will need to be careful of a few things: Beware of being overly controlling, speaking rashly, stepping on toes or defying authority, all of which can get you into hot water. However, Venus will interact favorably with Saturn later in the week, opening the doorway and your heart to embrace love and relationships that can last the distance of time.

ARIES: Get your life in order and love will find its way to your heart.

Don’t get too comfortable, Aries, because just when you least expect it life can change. The decisions you make this month can spark development in your business life and as a result, your income can also increase.

The new Moon energy in your sign mid-month and Mercury coming out of retrograde is a green light for you to move forward. But don’t fall into old patterns of operating or thinking, especially with love or work. Work on priorities. Get your life in order and love will find its way to your heart. You can transform your life now, but to do so, it’s out with the old to allow space for the new.

TAURUS: Life presents choices and decisions which can lead to inevitable compromises.

Life presents choices and decisions which can lead to inevitable compromises. You do one thing and you or someone else in your life must make an adjustment. Stay focused on your grand plan, the dream that is connected to your soul. With the help of new Moon in the sign before yours, and Venus in your sign, you can be inspired to move in the direction of your heart’s desire. Your first step is to gain clarity, and that will require you to have some thoughtful solo time.

Full Moon energy in your love zone at the end of the month can bring things to a head, in one way or another. Do what’s right for you.

GEMINI: Get ready to for romance, Gemini.

Get ready to for romance, Gemini! As love planet Venus makes her way to your sign, a lot of excitement will be the order of the month. New Moon energy indicates this to be a social time for you, and with Mercury retrograde still, you could very well reconnect with someone from the past. But beware of getting involved in the same or similar situations. It could be a message that you need to move on.  

Work with others for monetary gain, and keep your schedule flexible at work. A change in plans towards the end of the month can work out well for you.
