Monthly Horoscope for April

Aries

You've got a lot on your mind and a lot of this you'd prefer not to share with others. Until you've worked out how you really feel you don't want to talk about it. Someone you fell out with some time ago might get in touch. If they're willing to put the past behind them, you will be happy to follow their example. In many areas of your life it is time to forgive, forget and move forward. You're more than ready for new starts.

Taurus

Think about your emotional and spiritual well being as well as your physical health. Instead of dropping everything and going along with what other people ask of you, start doing more for yourself. Tasks you take on this month should be ones that bring you inner contentment. You might also find it personally rewarding to be able to help those less fortunate than yourself.

Gemini

You will be keen to branch out into new fields of interests. Your focus is on your long-term aims and ambitions even if it means channelling your energy into these areas and missing out on some social goings-on. What you may not realise is new friends could make your life so much more interesting and it could be to your advantage to get involved in some group arrangements.

Cancer

Your focus is on work, professional matters and other heavy commitments at this time and you will take your responsibilities seriously. By the middle of the month you will start to tire. You will feel you've put in more than your fair share of the work and you are ready now to enjoy your off-duty hours. In fact as April ends, you will probably insist that you get some time off.

Leo

In all areas that are important, you should take time over what you are doing to lessen the chances of loss. Overseas travel appeals but if you have no plans as such at the moment, don't rush to make a booking. Wait a short while longer and you could grab an incredible bargain. If plans have already been made for a journey check all arrangements including the costs. You might find prices have increased considerably since a similar journey in the past and you could get a better deal elsewhere.

Virgo

You should ask yourself whether you're working far too hard. You always need to feel you're making good use of your time but you need to relax too. At some time this month you could find yourself thinking about making some improvements to your home or even looking at buying a new place to live. In legal and financial matters, be sure to read the small print as this could help you avoid future problems.

Libra

Joint concerns will take up a lot of your time over the month ahead. You want to please your partner and others by making a good job of anything you take on, together. Later on you will want to push routine matters aside so you can make the most of any fun activities going on around you. If you are single, take the initiative and invite a new love into your life this April.

Scorpio

Because you want to do your job to the best of your ability you will be willing to ignore it when a colleague is in an awkward mood. To keep things harmonious you must bite your lips and you know this. Health is either really good or really frustrating when seasonal allergies will tend to slow you down.

Sagittarius

There's always something special about this time of the year. You're at your most romantic and creative. You can put your imagination into anything and come up with some great ways to brighten up your life. You're raring to go and seem to have energy to spare. Your optimism helps keep those around you inspired.

Capricorn

Observe and listen to what is being said and arranged around and about your household. There may be a few misunderstandings simply because you weren't paying attention and therefore missed noticing that someone was making arrangements that included you. This is not a good month to get involved in disputes which create a rift within your kith and kin. You want to keep family life harmonious.

Aquarius

Everyday expenses are rising. Are you being as careful with your money as you ought to be? Maybe you've forgotten about those promises you made your partner about keeping a careful eye on your spending. Changes going on to do with your profession will cause you some tension and there may be friction with associates who don't share your point of view.

Pisces

If relationships have been tense, do something to ease the stress that is between you. Why let a small incident or misunderstanding spoil all the wonderful arrangements you have for over the month ahead? Think about the possible costs before agreeing to get involved in some group arrangements. At work, trying new methods and procedures could save a lot of time and money in the future.

The Sun is in Aries in April, moving into Taurus later on in the month. Aries is the first sign of the zodiac, associated with spring and new starts. It's a great month for new beginnings for everyone.
