Monthly Horoscope

You’re the life and soul of the party as Spring gets underway. You’ll get a lot of pleasure going out with friends and from mingling with new people as there’s this general glow of good humour surrounding you. Though beware of trying to impress people with little white lies and stretches of the truth because by mid April you’ll find yourself with egg on your face.

It’s time to start putting career plans into action as with a little effort a lot can be achieved now. You’ve been contemplating your options for a while now and should be close to knowing how to move forward. If you tackle obstacles now, or at least get the ball rolling, by next month you’ll start to see some tangible results for your efforts.

You’re at your most influential this April and have very strong powers of persuasion, so if you need to get the backing of an influential person or group now is the time to strike. You could also find that an existing friend or acquaintance is in a position to help you most favourably. Arrange a social gathering soon to make the most of this.

You could really prove yourself as a guiding light at work right now as others react positively to your leadership skills. But you have to get over your lack of self confidence in order to make the most of this influence. You may feel you’re not worth the praise you’re getting, but if you keep insisting that you don’t deserve it then people might start to believe you.

A lack of understanding leads to confusion and arguments this month if you’re not careful. Try and be as completely honest as you can with those closest to you and insist they treat you the same. Because if there’s any deliberate misleading or exaggeration on either part then someone’s going to be left feeling let down and hurt.

You go from charm to harm this month with that mouth of yours - starting out with all the right words but ending up having battles of wits with people. Just be careful how you express yourself because cutting witticism may make people laugh but they can also hurt feelings and create enemies. Use your sharp communication skills wisely by writing a snappy letter to someone in power.

Relationships are in the spotlight this month - you may even feel that you’re fighting someone for it! A clash of egos is on the cards but that doesn’t have to be a bad thing as a bit of friendly banter and enthusiastic rivalry may actually be quite a lot of fun. You’re blessed with a touch of glamour at the end of the month so make the most of it.

You shine at work this month which could result in financial rewards. Using your initiative and taking the lead to make positive changes in the way things are run will not only suit you but will also benefit others. It’s not wise to undertake any DIY at home this month as any cause for confusion will result in a bungled job.

Crossed wires between you and your neighbours or siblings will lead to misunderstandings and anger this month. Try to avoid outbursts that could leave you with egg on your face when you realise you’ve got the wrong end of the stick. Instead pour your energies into wooing someone special with gifts or little shows of affection.

Think twice before you take a financial risk this month because things aren’t what they seem. It looks like those favourable odds could turn out to be less than guaranteed, so why gamble if you can’t afford it? Spending time at home or with the family provides a great source of comfort and relaxation right now so how about arranging a reunion.

You’ve got bags of energy this month and you’re raring to get started – but on what? Your problem is you’ve got the enthusiasm but don’t know how or where to channel it. Hook up with neighbours and/or siblings for inspiration and the chance to broaden your horizons. A trip abroad sometime soon will help you recharge the batteries.

Money – that’s what’s on your mind right now. Get networking and mixing with people to open up financial channels. A sudden windfall from an unlikely source could be a blessing or a curse depending on how you use it. Also, take care of yourself as you’re prone to illness right now and could find yourself out of action for a while if struck down.
