YOUR APRIL GUIDE 1st-8th: Dining out. Arrange a date night with someone you love, whether it is your significant other or close friend, Gemini. Venus enters your sign on the 3rd, so go somewhere special where you can get dressed up and look your best. Enjoy an intimate gourmet dinner at a first-class restaurant so you can enjoy each other’s company without interruption. 9th-16th: Think big. Venus continues in your sign until August 7th, so take advantage of your boundless self-esteem and ambitious nature.

YOUR APRIL GUIDE 1st-8th: Smell the roses. Between your professional workload and the projects that you are passionate about, you may have to squeeze in time for personal relationships, Virgo. On the 4th, Venus in your solar 10th forms a trine to Saturn in your solar 6th, so though you will be on overload you will probably love every minute of it. Take time to stop and smell the roses. 9th-16th: Mentoring others. Venus remains in your solar 10th until August 7th, and will continue to create an enjoyable atmosphere on the job that will motivate you even more. Don’t be surprised if you are asked to mentor others or instruct people in various skills that you have already mastered. Take up the challenge since teaching others is right up…

Everybody loves them some Venus. The bright, friendly evening and morning star is probably already the most popular planet in astrology, but in April, as it begins a four-month journey through Gemini, people with the Sun, Moon, or big-brother benefic Jupiter in that sign will be saying “Venus Forever!” That, in fact, happens to be the title of the article about this unique event on page 38, so flip over to that page to see what Venus’ long stay in that sign will have in store for you and yours. Speaking of Venus, and thinking of its reputation in the love department, perhaps the two most common reasons for people seeking out astrology are to find a relationship or to understand one that they are already in. There is a…

According to the principles of numerology, the year 2020 reduces to 4 (2+0+2+0=4), a number that is associated with concentration, hard work, and applying your best efforts to getting the job done. This is a year to be introspective and reflect on how you can become a better person and live up to your goals. You can use your talents and skills to pay it forward and give back to the community in the form of mentoring, volunteering, and generally doing good deeds. We add the number for the current year to the month number (January is 1, December is 1+2=3) to your own birthday number (1st=1, 31st=3+1=4) to calculate your vibration for the month. FOR THOSE BORN ON THE 1st, 10th, 19th, and 28th of any month Neptune-9 vibrations…

ARIES ★ LOVE: First Week. April breezes blow a new sweetheart into your line of vision, and friendship easily blends with romance. Second Week. Mercury enters Aries on the 10th, making you get right to the point when speaking your mind. Third Week. Open discussions with your mate dredge up the truth, like it or not. Exposed feelings need delicate handling. Fourth Week. Communication lines run the gamut from humming briskly to complete shutdown. Keep them open no matter what. ★ MONEY: On the 9th and 10th the Moon transits Scorpio, the house of your partner’s income, taxes, and insurance (the 8th). Playing ping-pong with payments creates question marks over balances due and havoc with your personal and shared funds. The New Moon in Taurus on the 22nd activates the house…

Whenever an astrologer needs to do a reading for more than one person, he or she will calculate a detailed individual chart for both parties, analyze each chart individually, and then compare the two birth charts using a formalized process called synastry. As you might guess, this is a process that takes time and ideally requires years of training and experience on the part of the astrologer. For those of us who have a more basic knowledge of what the signs, houses, and planets mean in a single chart, much less in the charts of two people in a relationship, there is another way to get a grasp of how two people will get along, based on the unique idea of melding those two charts together into a single chart.…

Some of you out there probably expect some sort of April Fools column, as I seem to have written such columns in the past, or so some of my readers have claimed (though I, meanwhile, have maintained, to anyone who would listen, often ranting away on the public walkways, that everything I have written in every April for this publication is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth). So this month we’ll talk seriously, and with no fooling around, about the following: - The Jupiter-Pluto conjunction at 24 Capricorn on April 4. - Mars still in Aquarius, began March 31 and concludes on May 12. - Mars’ challenging aspects to natal Uranus in Fixed signs, for Aquarius has a reputation as an excessively progressive sign and Uranus,…

YOUR APRIL GUIDE 1st-8th: Social time. As the weather gets warmer you will look forward to making appointments with friends you have not seen for a while, Aries.

It’s also the perfect time to add people you’ve just met to your social circle. 9th-16th: Like-minded friends. Mercury enters your sign on the 10th so your bubbly, extroverted personality will be more accentuated than usual.

Sharing personal experiences and discovering how much you have in common can be the start…

Even though it is easy to communicate by texting, email, and social media, there is nothing like seeing each other in person. 9th-16th: Business startup. On the 10th, Mercury enters your professional sector (solar 10th) followed by its sextile to Saturn in your solar 8th on the 11th.

This month’s Starscope focuses on the problem of stress, due to a pair of planetary transits that can cause you extra tension and frustration in April. Action-oriented Mars and cautious Saturn are both in Aquarius. When these two planets are in an alignment, it’s as if you are trying to drive a car at full speed with the emergency brake on. For some, this dual transit can bring agitation, an emotional crisis, or a discouraging dilemma. Certain Sun signs seem more sensitive to stress than others. Gemini, Cancer, Virgo, Libra, and Pisces, for example, can suffer burnout more quickly than some of the other signs. This is a generalization, of course, as how an individual might endure stress depends on the entire horoscope. But whatever the sign involved, prolonged periods…

Let family know in advance that you may be missing in action, but reassure them that you will make it up to them. 9th-16th: Travel plans.
