Find out what this month has in store for you.
Fresh beginnings should bring excitement with a smattering of edginess. Two New Moons in April—one in Aries on the 1st and another in Taurus on the 30th—herald change. In terms of who you are and what you possess, you’ll be the driving force behind moves taking you to a place you barely recognise.
Group get-togethers will be up for debate. And you’ll have strong views regarding the practicalities involved. Others may be willing to take chances, in spite of data suggesting that not everything is reliable. Do you owe it to less-informed people—as well as yourself—to call a halt until checks and balances are in place? Definitely.
Ambition will steer you towards a set-up about which you know very little. Be discerning and make it clear to figures of authority that you won’t be signing on the dotted line unless much more relevant information is available. Also accept that your deeper instincts are warning you to tread carefully until all is revealed.
Your working relationship with one or two individuals could have been marred by the intense pressure you were all under at the time. But that was then and this is now. And when it’s suggested that some of you join forces once more, it’s essential to ask questions—and keep asking until every detail is disclosed.
Plans that are being floated might take several weeks to get the green light. Even then, there will be a call for discussions about finances and other crucial factors. Don’t assume responsibility for filling in the gaps. Those who have left you to do the heavy lifting in the past will happily do so again. It mustn't happen.
Curb your enthusiasm with regard to sharing intriguing news with a peer, pal or partner. A Mercury-Saturn link suggests that you sometimes provide others with information before it has been verified. And it can cause problems. On this occasion, since there could be money, property or somebody’s reputation involved, you cannot afford to take chances.
Wrestling with home, family or partnership issues will be hampered by unwelcome interference. Rather than put up a fight, aim to adopt the most diplomatic approach possible. In doing so, you will gain the support of associates who will happily collaborate with you once you’re finally free to resume control of the situation.
With business or administrative matters craving attention, you’ll want to find someone to deal with them. And although it’s fine to delegate such tasks, a Sun-Pluto clash is warning you that some of the people concerned are growing tired of doing your bidding for you. Are they justified in downing tools? Think about it.
A suggestion that a creative or entertaining idea is sure to fail won’t sit easily with you. But there’s no point in going over old ground in the hope that things will improve. Better to abandon this project that was inviting but certainly not foolproof, and move on. Nearby, there are new sources of inspiration.
Investing in your home, garden or the well-being of family members will fetch a good return. But how about your own needs? Striking the right balance between the two isn’t easy, but it’s vital. Although you haven’t been making a martyr of yourself, you can sometimes be too self-sacrificing. You count for something too, don’t you?
After all the effort you’ve made within some challenging territory, you perhaps expected recognition if not some sort of reward. And some of those gaining from what you’ve done don’t even realise they’re in your debt. Before you become too frustrated by this situation, try to find a subtle, non-judgemental way of airing your views.
While fans and followers readily support your latest daring, extravagant idea, you’ll secretly wonder whether to scale it down. Is it all too good to be true, especially with Jupiter allied to Neptune? Take note when one trusted individual urges you to look at things through an entirely different lens. That’s where the answers lie.
