Stargazing
Horoscope for April 2008
Aries
March 21 - April 20
It’s a building type of month. You’re taking small steps toward a work-related goal, and tiny risks in a personal relationship. A confrontation may be unavoidable on or after the 22nd. You may be paying too much for a service, so shop around.
Taurus
April 21 - May 22
Though you’re not looking for adventure, you find yourself in the centre of one after the 10th. Look for opportunities that let you fulfill a long-time dream. Leadership and communications are your strengths — it’s an excellent month to lead meetings.
Gemini
May 23 - June 21
You keep a low profile early on. Then, around the 15th, your social life goes into overdrive. Use connections to land a dream assignment. Rely on research, not brochures, if making a big purchase or planning a trip. And ask lots of annoying questions.
Cancer
June 22 - July 22
Financial instincts are sharp and you can make money doing something you enjoy. Fixing a family problem takes creativity plus flexibility, so come up with plans B and C. You’re obsessing on the past and should make an effort to live in the present.
Leo
July 23 - August 22
The people you deal with are in touch with reality — at last. You can finalize decisions involving a group. Watch out for people spreading rumours about you during the week of the 14th.
Virgo
August 23 - September 22
While others vie for top position this month, you make gradual strides and win an important ally. Nostalgia is a theme in late April as you connect with a childhood friend. Don’t dance around issues if seeking a favour.
Libra
September 23 - October 22
You’re a person of few words, but those words speak volumes this month. You can get your own way by letting people think they’re making big decisions. You tend to be a little too generous and trusting with someone new.
Scorpio
October 23 - November 21
You come out of hibernation, and sluggish areas in career or relationships spring to life. Someone tries to trick you into revealing secrets — your own, or another person’s. You’re vulnerable after the 19th.
Sagittarius
November 22 - December 22
You make a statement by not making statements. In other words, stop trying to solve everybody’s problems. This new approach results in at least one greatly improved relationship.
Capricorn
December 23 - January 20
Spruce up your surroundings and create a new look — just avoid anything retro. Eccentric is one thing, but someone you’ve been dealing with becomes difficult to handle. You’ll make a big announcement this month.
Aquarius
January 21 - February 19
You finish old business early in the month, and then move on to education-related goals. Shared finances become complicated after the 11th. Be sure to follow up on health-related and other unanswered messages.
Pisces
February 20 - March 20
Taking a course on a new area of interest has an added social benefit. You also learn something about yourself when a friend or acquaintance makes a casual observation. A late-month extravagant streak can get out of control. Hide credit cards after the 20th.
