New Forecast for mid-April through the month of May Aries: You could be in the chips as they say during this period, especially after May 11, when Mercury goes direct. Up to then, watch every penny and save. If a new job comes your way, you could be working overtime to make a big impression. Work and earning money are especially serious issues right now. Still, you cannot help but fantasize a bit about being somewhere else, doing something entirely different. Forget not that as prosperity in some form knocks on your door, it is where you are at rather than where you think you want to be that counts. You get energized instantly when the latest opportunity comes through the door-- how come that initial spark of excitement often grows fainter by the day? What is it going to take to keep your interest at peak level? The answer may be something you do not want to hear but let us come out and say it anyway--you keep looking for a bigger ego trip and this time there is a good chance you will have it.
Taurus: Once you get on a specific track, you tend to stay there until the bottom drops out. Hard to turn on and even harder to turn off, your dogged determination is an asset except when it is not. At this time, you may believe that you have everything under control. The outer planets and the higher forces they represent, however, are operating in your chart as guides to something new. Could it be a new avenue to financial security or a new talent that emerges and surprises everyone, including you? Your friends and associates may notice that something about you has changed; but as the wife of someone of your sign once said--"he does not change, he becomes more so." Since you are one of the easiest people to get along with as long as you have your creature comforts and no one is pressuring you, becoming more so is likely to be just what we want from you. Only please use your imagination so that life does not get monotonous. Remember that most of us become bored more easily than you do.
Gemini: Venus the goddess of love and her male counterpart Cupid (after all Gemini always comes in twos) is travelling through your sign. If love is not in the air; it could be coming round the bend. Now if you are comfortably situated in a committed relationship; see if you can rekindle the spark that brought you together in the first place. If, on the other hand, you are single and available, expect fireworks in one or even several encounters that are in the cards for you during this cycle of time. As a lover of language, of scintillating information and of continual change there could be just enough going on in your own backyard, so that you do not get ants in your pants when your wings are tentatively pinned down. Responsibilities on the home front may keep you more grounded and less mobile than you would prefer to be. Your nervous energy is usually challenged by a sedentary lifestyle; only instead of cavorting about, the world is going to keep coming to you and it should be anything but dull.
Cancer: You are perhaps the most security conscious sign. This cycle of time is providing strong motivation to climb out of that shell you like to hide in and show what you can do, so that you do not get 'lost in the shuffle.' You may come up against a few brick walls but look at it this way--you are testing your resolve to win against all odds and not let difficult circumstances dishearten you and cause you to retreat. As the sensitive person that you are, you pick up on every emotion that others are attempting to conceal and wear their projections as if they were tailor-made for you. Moodiness may be something you had hoped you overcame a long time ago--certainly it fades with maturity once you realize the world is not here to do your bidding. Why expect that it will and then become disappointed. Your best bet now is to stick with what has worked well in the past and with your phenomenal memory you ought to be able to recall and duplicate your best performances so that you can reach the finish line riding a winner.
Leo: Your sign either gives everything or gives nothing. You can work as intensely as anyone yet you can lounge around and laze about when you feel like it as well. As a matter of fact, you pretty much do whatever you feel like doing with no apologies offered. After all who is audacious enough to tell royalty how to behave? What makes you royal, dear Leo, is that great big heart of yours and when a person comes from their heart, they light up the world. You are never going to resign yourself to being just a 'dime a dozen' talent. You may win triumphantly or lose mournfully but at least you will never be a mediocrity. During this cycle, transmit your warmth even in the apparent face of a setback and you will learn a valuable lesson that Leo could stand learning--it is easy to be a good winner but losing gracefully is clear evidence that you are the master of your ego rather than the other way around.
Virgo: Travel is a good idea around this time, as long as you are productive. Soaking up the Sun on a beautiful beach--well, save that for the weekends. If you go somewhere you are likely to make some good connections. You may discover that what you want and what is being offered are two very different entities. If you accept what is being brought to your table and put on your plate, however, it may taste a whole lot better than you thought it would. Let the universe decide what is going to work for you. You sense a power in you that wants to come through but something seems to be blocking it. Saturn is in your sign again and the impediment may well be that you still are not satisfied with what you are accomplishing. One could say to you, "do not be so hard on yourself" but frankly right now, you do not know how to be any other way.
Libra: The famous Libra languor is in clear evidence this month for when your sign loses all sense of proportion, you long to withdraw to a retreat that is free of tension where you can contemplate in an atmosphere of stillness. The need to bring that active mind of yours into a more balanced state will undoubtedly seem necessary for you several times during this period. The problems all of us on the Earth are facing seem to have no viable solution, although you may have a few up your sleeve. As Bruce Lipton says in his book, "Spontaneous Evolution"-- a wake-up call if there ever was one--our society has long replaced the golden rule with the rule of gold. Are any of us exempt from sharing in the responsibility for what our world has become? Or perhaps, since the discovery of fire, it always has been that way. Only now with more and more of us souls here on the Earth instead of somewhere else, the competitiveness among us appears increasingly detrimental. Apply your famous penchant for impartiality and serve the greater good by helping the rest of us learn to value equality and fair play. Speak your truth as often as possible and begin setting things right.
Scorpio: It is not uncommon for you to change your mind only this time around it is not just your mind you will be changing. Your whole life is due for an overhaul in which you throw out the parts that no longer serve you and make room for the abundance of riches ready to come through the door. It is not necessarily the coin of the realm and huge piles of it that is heading your way, although there could be some of that as well. The wealth spoken of here comes through relationships and through professional achievements. Most of it, however, it is derived from the wisdom you have gleaned from your increased openness and willingness to explore new avenues of knowledge and experience. The innovative steps you are taking now are making your life a whole lot juicier than it has been for a very long time. Never one to shy away from a challenge, you can realize more than ever what a strong person you have become and while you can thank the cosmos for giving you the tools to unlock your inner powers, most of the credit belongs to you and you alone.
Sagittarius: You are probably working overtime preparing for some very important engagements and while you are the most optimistic of the signs you are getting pernickety in making sure that all the bases are covered. Financial pressures motivate you to go over everything time and time again. You might never have imagined that you could be so exacting and so demanding of yourself but after all, you aspire to maintaining the highest of standards. This compels you to cut down on your ratio of fun times and upgrade your patterns so that you are ready for prime time. Your sign is about taking the long route to success and then giving all of us something that has enduring value. Since you move quickly and cover a lot of ground, the choices you make along the way ought to be nothing less than impeccable.
Capricorn: You have no problem waking up in the morning filled with ambition to do great things. You are most likely now engaged in producing something that will stand out for you are the embodiment of the catch phrase 'the pursuit of excellence.' Work is especially favored during this period with Venus traversing your solar sixth house where you move into a space of devotional service to the job at hand. Of course, for you it is never just a job; it is always a career path. There is only way to go on that path and that is straight up. This generates a lot of pressure only the pressure in your case comes from within. No voice on the outside could possibly be louder than the one on the inside continually assuring you that your labor of love can be even better than it currently is. You are putting the finishing touches on whatever you have been working on and the world just has to appreciate what you have done because you put it together with blood, sweat and tears and no one deserves success more than you do.
Aquarius: Even though you can reason that there is a lot of justification for making some changes, chances are you will stick with your program. It seems more important for you to hold things together than be tempted to alter your agenda. You want to include everyone you know and are 'in like with' into your life, yet sometimes there just is not room enough for the growing numbers that realize you are on to something that they had better get on to as well. Well everything you do does not have to be done face to face. Take advantage of the marvelous means of communication available to you and share your ideas generously without ever getting up from your easy chair. Your sign represents the one (you) interrelating with the many (the rest of humanity) and distributing your pearls not to the swine but to those who are seeking the light and who recognize that it flows effortlessly through your channels.
Pisces: This cycle of time for you is about giving equal time to your public life (where you can pull off some splendid accomplishments) and your private life (where you can bask in a state of self-satisfaction over a job well done.) Good vibes have been with you for some time now but that does not make you immune to the downbeat vibes of others. Hang out with the upbeat people or go it alone but do not allow anyone to dampen your spirits because there is a lot more goodness coming your way, packaged just for you in allotments that are compact enough for you to handle and big enough for you to make a measurable difference.
