Your weekly dose of astrology

Aries
Your work is really challenging at this time. It may feel like pushing a boulder uphill. You need some help and it is not forthcoming. Perhaps it is better to back off and wait for a better time. See how you feel the end of April. You may decide against the plan altogether.

Taurus
Venus enters your sign this week and will be traveling “with you” through most of April. Her presence gives you an air of poise and people will simply like how you look. Often when Venus is prominent we become more interested in art forms and want to make things in the environment more attractive. We are also more interested in beautifying ourselves.

Gemini 
Day to day life is favourable at present. There are no big conflicts between you and anyone of importance. Social life is favoured with partner, friends, and neighbours. Short trips to interesting nearby places could prove refreshing and educational. Contractual agreements are favoured now.

Cancer 
You have likely been dealing with a decision concerning property or family issues. You have spent a few weeks in this process and now you have arrived at a conclusion. If it is a purchase or a sale, you have the cosmic green light. Whatever the decision, you have made a good choice for everyone concerned.

Leo
It’s important that you be aware that your thinking is not as objective as you believe. Listen when others tell you their attitudes and opinions. You do not have to adopt them, but don’t reject what they say out of hand. Try to think carefully before assuming you are the only one who knows the right answers.

Virgo
Listen carefully this week for intuitive guidance. Your unconscious is “in touch” with your life path and it will guide you. Clear out the mind/ego chatter as well as you can. Accept only that which does not flatter the ego. There you will find real wisdom that makes sense.?

Libra 
Venus, your ruling planet, enters the eighth sector and will remain there until Apr 24. This suggests favourable influences and opportunities concerning gifts or other financial resources that come through other people. It includes investments, debts owed to you, and insurance payoffs. Intimate relationships take on a more important role.

Scorpio 
Your reflexes are not the best at this time. If you are doing any type of heavy work or lifting, give careful attention to your body mechanics because you may be subject to an accident. This is also true if you are driving, handling any type of machinery, or sharp tools. If you question your strength for a task, seek help.

Sagittarius 
Your sense of confidence is high. That is good, but this week it may be a little over the top. Think carefully before you speak because you may embarrass yourself by promising more than you can deliver.

Capricorn
You may be expecting to start a big project this month. The beginning is fraught with potential errors. Move carefully and check your work for errors along the way. It is especially important to prevent or correct mistakes in the beginning. If you don’t, later you may have to unravel the whole project back to this point..

Aquarius 
A new plan that originated in the summer is arriving at a turning point. Sometimes our ideas take a twist of their own. This is a time in which you must decide whether or not to pour more resources into the plan or let it go. Given the on-going Mercury retrograde, it probably will be easier to review the plan.

Pisces
This is not your best week for romance and social life. You may be in circumstances that cause you to feel as though you must be pretentious concerning your feelings. Possibly you are not even really clear yourself about just what your needs are in these relationships. It’s a low period that will pass in a few days.
