Aries
The Ram (March 20 — April 19)
The new moon in your sign on March 29 was eclipsed. This brings an intensity of focus to the issue of who you wish to become. This is a piece of inner work that must be done in the quiet, an environment that Rams avoid. You can’t change your life until you know who you are when you are alone.
For All Signs Early morning risers might like to look toward the east throughout the month of April. Before sunrise each morning Mercury, Venus and Jupiter are each shining their lights upon the predawn earth. Urbanites must make a specific point of searching for the planetary beauties. The array is the most visible during the three days before and after the new moons, March 29 and again on April 27.
Taurus A natural counselor, you have a gift of being calm when others are upset. This is a week in which much of your attention is fixed upon those who need emotional assistance. More than one person tell you how you offer solace.
Gemini You may be called upon to care for old wounds of your own or those of another. Allow those injured places to speak because something in the present has triggered the pain.
Cancer On March 29 we experienced the second of two eclipses this month. By now you may feel thoroughly wasted from the roller-coaster effect of this month’s drama. You could use a couple of days of R and R.
Leo This is a week of quiet. Use it to prepare for your next ambitious goal. You have thought about a long-term project but have been reluctant to start. Take a deep breath, get some rest this week and ready yourself for the next big push.
Virgo This is a fine week for discussing plans with your significant other. After fits and starts, the two of you are likely to have arrived on the same page. You are in sync about what you want to do.
Libra Relationships with lovers and children are particularly intense this week. This is a time in which you can be honest about things you have previously kept to yourself. Speak your truth.
Scorpio This is a week of positive energy. Activities involving education, travel and sharing your feelings with others are highlighted. Those with an adjustable income will have cause to smile. A new job or responsibility says you are really getting somewhere now!
Sagittarius People are listening carefully to what you say, so be sure you are speaking your truth. And make an effort to give others room for their perspectives too. Watch the temptation to take over and control any group situation.
Capricorn The eclipses of the past two weeks have created a veritable whirlwind in your home and family life. This week is free of major new events or circumstances. You have the opportunity to take things at a slower pace now. Use the time to organize your thoughts and plans.
Aquarius One of your children or a lover may rub against an old wound and cause it to weep. You have tried so hard to be acceptable, but the Waterbearer is always slightly disengaged and out of the loop. This is not a fault. It is built into the hardware of who you were meant to be.
Pisces You can be thoroughly refreshed by a trip to a location near the water. Activities involving learning, the law, the Internet or people who come from unusual cultures will provide a special gift. Let yourself invent, imagine, expand a small idea into a greater theme.
