Horoscopes April 2008

Aries (March 21-April 20) Before you pull together a get rich scheme and run out and sell a truck load to your long list of prospects, remember that the world has changed more in the last three or four months than it has in years. Oh, it is your time of year alright, but only pitch a few clients after you have run the deal by the ethics committee. Make sure that you will have customers knocking down your door and not the police. You can not ignore the elephant in the living room: Pluto in Capricorn, You are the world’s greatest salesman. Build a better mousetrap user friendly for the times in which we live. You can do it. You were born to win.

Taurus (April 21-May 20) If you think that you have found yourself on the Good Ship Lollipop you just might have. It has been a long time since the Heavens have favored you as much as they do now. A few words to the thickest head and the most stubborn Bull in the Zodiac: make nice; be more loving and determine to tithe your good fortune with others. You are not known for your generosity. But what goes around can keep coming back to you if you remember my favorite axiom: receive to share. No one can pack on the weight, girl or boy, quite like a Taurus. Keep your feet moving so your stomach and thighs do not overload that tiny Tim or Tiny Alice physique and figure.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) Throughout both Lunations you Twins are going to reap favorably. But if I could lighten your cosmic load a little bit more, how about balancing the budget or adding more to your 401K rather than shopping for what will wear out before you can pay for it? There is some play time here but not ten days on Maui or a fortnight in gay Paree (have you checked the devaluation of the dollar lately compared to the Euro—stay out of Euro-land). To make ends meet eventually have a night out or a week-end close to Mother Earth—a campout will fit the bill and keep your money picture rosier.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) If you are wondering why you have been feeling that life is at a standstill for you let me review where the problems are. Mars has moved back into Cancer opposing Pluto and both will be squared by the Full Moon at 01 degree of Libra on the 20th. This triple whammy is trying to get you to be more open about what’s really going on. Nobody has hidden agendas quite like you Crabs. Known to engage your emotions a little too often you might want to learn not to be so controlled by them, or hold too tightly onto one way of how to get something done. Full disclosure—showing your true hand will get you what you want.

Leo (July 22-August 22) With the stock market on a wild ride—up and down and all around—you might want to pull your assets to the sideline; there are other ways to make a profit. This market was made for those with zillions of dollars to lose and then regain from profit taking. You are in major repair from the hits you took when Saturn was in your sign for two and a half years. The real estate market might be better for you if you wait for the right inventory. The Feds are about to end their rate cuts so now is the time to jump into the glut of opportunity for flipping or holding to rent. Although you are the rulers of the house of speculation you might want to take a long hard look through the reality lens before you roll the dice. Times, they are a-changing.

Virgo (August 23-September 22) You just might be feeling like the universe has given you a break with Saturn retrograde in your sign. With this break for a few months it is time to learn from having the Lord of Karma sitting on top of your sign for six months. What have you had to do differently more recently than before Saturn moved into Virgo on September 3, 2007? Since you rule the roost by being picky, critical and analytical have you developed greater faith in not seeing the glass half empty? Do you see the value in weighing and balancing with greater detachment? And do you now understand that a lot of your difficulties lie in your supreme belief that everything depends on you being able to figure everything out? Try letting things be revealed. Revelation beats figuring things out—it connects you to a Higher Power more easily.

Libra (September 23-October 22) Librans are in for a rough time this month because the Full Moon in your sign is being star-crossed with the Mars in Cancer and Pluto in Capricorn creating a troublesome Cardinal T-square. Instead of trying to force diplomacy to work things out with your partner at home or at work, separate out what is your business from their business and what only God can resolve. This is one of those times that you don’t want to push the river but rather let some time pass before you engage a game plan. The underpinning of Libra is to find balance in all things. The level playing field will be back but not now. Wait.

Scorpio (October 23-November 21) You may be the one sign about to spring forth into what has been your hope, wish and dream for years. Planets in alignment either enhance or block what certain signs in the zodiac are trying to accomplish. I have always told you lightest of lights and darkest of darks to respond from what your soul urge is and when the planets signal “Go”, you’ll be ready if you have enlightened your dark side. For those of you now moving through life with a bit of divine redemption it is full stream ahead. The next tier of success is within your grasp. Don’t forget to thank the One who got you where you are.

Sagittarius (November 22-December 20) If you have been feeling like you’re tethered and can only move so far, maybe it is time to stake your territory and rebuild your life where the universe has taken you. No sign likes the wide open spaces quite like you do. But there comes a time when even you Archers of the zodiac have to find a spot and settle down. You can explore to discover on week-ends, but it is time to focus on career and the home front. You rule the concept of the Divine, the Creator—God—so perhaps you might want to look within to see what God has to say about where He has brought you.

Capricorn (December 21-January 19) At long last you are getting to see what the Industrial Revolution felt like because with Pluto in Capricorn you are in a time of tearing down and rebuilding everything in your life. No sign is up to this kind of challenge quite like you are. Since Saturn rules Capricorn, it is now in an earth-to-earth relationship from the sign of Virgo—nothing could be finer. And when we throw Jupiter into the mix you are getting all the divine help anyone could ask for. And speaking of the Divine, don’t forget that He is your architect; consult Him and check in with Him often. There are those who believe He is quite near—like within you.

Aquarius (January 20-February 17) Use this Arian cycle to bring some more practical notions into your life. With the trine from the Full Moon in Libra and the benefit of the Sun in powerful aspect to you, there can be a lot of headway made to feel that everything is coming up roses. Known to be an independent sort, this is a time to bring others on board with what you are thinking and how you can find cooperation with your game plan. Although you walk to the beat of a different drummer, try whistling a tune that resonates with others besides your mad scientist. More and more all of us in the zodiac are going to have to find a way to look at how we are the same rather than continue to flaunt our differences.

Pisces (February 18-March 20) Since you have recently had the good fortune of a New Moon in Pisces, I hope that you are beginning to learn that there is a price to pay for your former delusional self. With Uranus sitting on top of you there have been a few emergency measures that you have had to take to stay afloat. But things are beginning to get through that magic kingdom mind that there is a way to have your cake with enough to share with others to eat with you. After the Full Moon you will be free to ask for and receive what is your heart’s desire. It helps that Saturn has decided to back off for awhile.
