Overview for this Month: Pisces (All)

April 2016

There can be a big focus on your financial status and comfort levels this month, dear Pisces, as well as increasing attention to learning, communicating, and making connections. Career and/or reputation matters can be tricky at times, particularly in the second half of the month, but any delays you face can give you time to rethink and make important changes and edits. While you may want to avoid unnecessary displays of rebellion in your relationships, there may be some things that need to surface so that you can put them behind you once and for all. A tendency to spend too quickly or to throw yourself into a new venture without research can run high, but keep in mind that while there can be a lot of excitement felt in the first half of the month, you may face waning motivation or energy levels in the second half. Move forward mindfully.

The New Moon on the 7th can point to a new beginning on business or financial levels. The days following, and particularly from the 9-12 can feel good. You may be embracing change and accepting that some level of unpredictability is good for you. This is a good period for showing the world your unique qualities and talents. Try not to make firm plans until you're truly certain you can follow through. Others can be especially intrigued with your talents or the services you offer professionally. You are communicating with special ease and your powers of persuasion are strong.

One of the main reasons for taking things in rather than pushing things forward too quickly is the retrograde of Mars on the 17th. Sometimes people think they should pack all sorts of new beginnings into the days before a retrograde, but this is unwise. Motivation levels can dip and you might change your mind about certain projects and ideas. This retrograde period lasts from April 17th to June 29th, and the first leg of the retrograde journey (until late May) occurs in your solar sector of career and reputation. While it's likely to cause some disruptions and frustrations in your professional life, you'll eventually realize that going over plans and making adjustments will benefit you most in the long run. Work requires more strategy and patience, as well as a lower profile. This is not the time to push. You may be experiencing delays and assorted slowdowns. Try to steer clear of differences of opinion and other conflicts that threaten to be too public or unprofessional. Work on improving skills and fine-tuning your work. Past financial or professional problems can resurface now. You might be questioning certain life path and long term choices. Manage your time carefully this month. There can be a tendency to procrastinate and to avoid important responsibilities in the second half of April, so pace yourself accordingly.

With Pluto also stationing retrograde around the same time, there is more reason to revise long-term goals. Try not to feel pressure to do so. Friendships can have a heavy energy hanging over them in the third week of April. You may not be feeling as connected as you�d like. Once the intensity of the station passes, you'll be in a better position to see which approaches actually work for you, and which attitudes may need to go.

The Full Moon on the 22nd is a happy one, but occurs at a time of transition and a bit of chaos. This is a time for entertaining your more adventurous side, for looking for different ways to express yourself and connect with a higher purpose. The last week of April puts more emphasis on communications in general, and your need for company increases. Mercury's retrograde begins on the 28th and is in your communications sector, so prepare for it by getting your communications equipment (phones, computers, cars) in good working order.

April 2016 Pisces Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
 

April 2016

 

Overview.

The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness

Until April 19th:

The Sun continues to transit your solar second house. This is the most "financial" period of the year for you. You might have a more materialistic view of life for the time being, or you have an increased interest in your own possessions, during this cycle. You are more attracted to objects and possessions that give you a sense of comfort, status, or luxury now. You probably should be on the lookout for a tendency to create your own financial stress due to extravagant spending habits. At this point in the year, you are unlikely to take many risks, however, and you can be quite resistant to change. This is a time when "comfort zones" are more important to you than usual--you value the familiar.

From April 19th forward:The Sun is illuminating your communications sector now, suggesting "busy-ness" and movement. You are exploring and searching now, making connections, and paying attention to your immediate environment. Social interaction is emphasized during this period, and is for the most part light-hearted. Give other people a little extra time and attention, notice their efforts on your behalf, and strengthen your connections. You are more curious and alert than usual, and you could be quite busy with errands, paperwork, phone calls, and light socializing. Much energy is expended in understanding and adapting to your immediate environment. Siblings, neighbors, close relatives, friends, and co-workers may play a more important role than usual in your life during this cycle. You are more interested in exploring your own neighborhood than you are a different country. This is not a time of big adventure-seeking. Rather, it's a time of little adventures close to home. Neither is this a time when you are especially focused. In fact, you could have a finger in many pies right now. You are especially resourceful now, and you could find yourself enjoying (or seeking) attention for your intellectual know-how. The ability to express and communicate your ideas is extremely important to you at this time. You are eager to investigate new things, whether scientific or technical.

Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort

Until April 5th:Venus continues to grace your solar first house now. Something about how you present yourself, your image, and your manner boosts your personal magnetism during this cycle. It's a good time to attract who and what you want into your life experience. You're more charming and you are likely to want to attract things to you indirectly rather than forcefully now, perhaps through charm and playfulness. You have a stronger need to be good to yourself, although a negative expression of this placement can be excessive attention to pampering oneself or taking the easy way out. You especially enjoy making a good impression on others, and peace-making. You might also be paying more attention to beauty and style now.

From April 5-29:As the natural ruler of the second house, Venus feels right "at home" here. This is a rather content position for Venus, although there can be some restlessness when it comes to money and spending it—you are more inclined to want more things around you! Financial security and enjoyment of the good things in life are important to you, although you also value simple pleasures. The ability to relate well with others might enhance your own personal finances during this period. You may find yourself in a position in which there is a blending of financial matters with social or public affairs. This is a stable position for love matters and close relationships. You value those who make you feel comfortable, and familiarity is more important to you than someone new during this cycle.

From April 29th forward:With Venus moving through your solar third house during this period, you are mostly cheerful in your approach to others, and perhaps somewhat intellectual, during this transit. Essentially, you are quite companionable now. You enjoy talking about what interests you, and you find great value in the exchange of ideas. Sometimes this transit brings benefit through siblings, communications, or short trips. During this period, you are most attracted to wit, cheerfulness, and verbal rapport. You are especially good at mediating conflicts. Smoothing over differences using your diplomacy skills figures now.

Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation

Until April 6th:

Mercury continues to transit your solar second house. You might play with various ways to increase personal funds, resulting in more than one avenue for monetary gain. Avoid letting undue pressure from others push you into signing important papers that may create a serious financial commitment. Shopping when experiencing nervous tension should also be avoided. Your mind is always active with new ideas for an increase of income during this cycle. Brothers or sisters, or communications, may be a source of financial or material gain or loss now.

From April 6th forward:

Mercury is right at home in the third house, and offers a natural curiosity, facility with words, and the ability to multi-task successfully. More time spent on the phone, writing emails, in the car making short frequent trips, chatting, running errands, communicating with neighbors and siblings, visiting friends and relatives, and doing paperwork is likely now. There can also be a tendency to fuss over insignificant matters now, however. Also, "information overload" is also a possibility. This may be a busy time with neighbors, classmates, siblings, and community affairs. Your interests are especially varied now, and perhaps scattered. It's an ideal time to pick up information from your environment and the people in it, as your tendency is toward a certain level of intellectual detachment just now. Your mind is often distracted, particularly when circumstances call for you to stick to routine, so this is not the best transit for focusing on one task or project. Your mind is especially inquisitive during this cycle, when learning, short trips, and other forms of communication and making connections, appeal strongly. Some are fidgety or nervous during this cycle, perhaps due to increased errand-running, phone calls, and the like. Others enjoy the challenge of tackling a variety of subjects. As well, talking, writing, and studying can be good ways to handle stress.

Mercury is retrograde from April 28th to May 22nd:

All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of communications with a partner or about partnerships, as well as communications with or about family and home, because Mercury rules these areas of your life. It will be important to avoid signing any contracts or making important partnership or family/home decisions during this cycle.

Occurring in your solar third house this time, extra care should be exercised when it comes to composing letters, emails, making phone calls, and with communications in general. There may be the need to revisit old, nagging issues with siblings or neighbors, errands could go wrong, you might have trouble getting from point A to point B (example, transportation problems), emails or letters get lost, and so forth. Idle chit- chatting during this period may have repercussions! People might be misunderstanding your words. You may be forgetful during this cycle, and it makes sense to allow yourself extra time to get to appointments, if they are not cancelled in the first place! It would also be wise to double-check your work and communications before sending them off.

Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage

Mars is retrograde from April 17-June 29

All Mars retrograde cycles affect you in the areas of personal finances, income, possessions, comfort, and values. These areas might be ambiguous now, or cause for concern and anxiety for the time being. Reassessing these matters becomes necessary. This is a good time for taking a hard look at your budget. It's also a time for understanding how the management of your personal resources impacts your confidence in general.

From April 17th to May 27th:

Occurring in your solar tenth house this time, enthusiasm for career and public or professional matters may wane, perhaps due to some problems or setbacks in these areas of life. Ambiguities might have you second-guessing or reassessing your goals. You might feel less confident or you could simply feel more cautious now. Some projects may stall. You may be feeling as if you are only going through the motions when it comes to  your duties and responsibilities, temporarily lacking ambition, fire, or motivation. Refocus, backtracking, and review become necessary and recommended now. This Mars retrograde emphasizes practical and work matters. How you organize your time is in question now.

Mars will retrograde back into your solar ninth house after May 27th.

Overview Horoscope:

Career and/or reputation matters can be tricky at times, particularly in the second half of the month, but any delays you face can give you time to rethink and make important changes and edits.

April 2016

 

Overview.

The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness

All month:

The Sun highlights your second house now, and your focus is on material affairs and comfort issues. Security is a driving force for you at the moment, and you might find that you are especially interested in accumulating possessions. What you have and what you don't have come into focus--what makes you feel comfortable, your sense of security, and what you value. This is the time of year when personal finances and possessions receive maximum attention. Pour your energy into your work and your finances, and you might just be able to take your ideas to the bank. Extravagance with your pocketbook is something you may want to look out for, however. If you find yourself itching to make unnecessary purchases, know that at the root of this urge is the desire to pamper and comfort yourself. Nothing wrong with it, but there are inexpensive (and even free) ways to make yourself feel good. This is not the most eventful time of year for you. You are more inclined to dig in your heels and hang on to what makes you feel most secure than to take big risks.

Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort

Some projects may stall, or you could find that you are less confident about expressing yourself in adventurous ways. Your outlook on life in terms of the "bigger picture" could be more cautious, and you might find that you temporarily have less faith, or you are questioning the faith that has carried you to date. Refocus, backtracking, and review become necessary and recommended now. Your outlook and lust for life, for the time being, might not be as natural or spontaneous as it has been.

April 2016 Pisces Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
 

April 2016

 

Overview.

The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness

Until April 9th:

The Sun continues to move through your solar first house. You experience a renewal of energy and vitality now, and it's a strong time for increased personal confidence. The emphasis is on self-expression, what kind of impression you make on others, and beginning new personal projects. You are a little more self-centered than usual, and this is quite natural and healthy as long as you don't take it too far. You are more decisive and forward-looking now, and you put more faith in your own abilities. Physically, you are likely feeling strong. This is an excellent cycle for making personal changes in your manner or appearance, and for any self-improvement endeavors. Personal projects that you begin now are likely to blossom nine months down the road.

From April 9th forward:

The Sun highlights your second house now, and your focus is on material affairs and comfort issues. Security is a driving force for you at the moment, and you might find that you are especially interested in accumulating possessions. What you have and what you don't have come into focus--what makes you feel comfortable, your sense of security, and what you value. This is the time of year when personal finances and possessions receive maximum attention. Pour your energy into your work and your finances, and you might just be able to take your ideas to the bank. Extravagance with your pocketbook is something you may want to look out for, however.

You value those who make you feel comfortable, and familiarity is more important to you than someone new during this cycle.

Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation

Until April 20th:

With Mercury in your solar second house, this is a strong period for analyzing your cash flow, income, and earning power. You are more practical and rational in your approach to finances during this period. With your conscious mind focused on money and possessions, as well as personal values, this can be a strong period for gathering new money-making ideas. Alternatively, it could be a time when you tend to fret over your finances. Conversations tend to be practical rather than frivolous now. Financial gain may come through communications.

From April 20th forward:

Mercury is right at home in the third house, and offers a natural curiosity, facility with words, and the ability to multi-task successfully. More time spent on the phone, writing emails, in the car making short frequent trips, chatting, running errands, communicating with neighbors and siblings, visiting friends and relatives, and doing paperwork is likely now. There can also be a tendency to fuss over insignificant matters now, however. Also, "information overload" is also a possibility.

Mercury is retrograde from April 28th to May 22nd:

All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of communications with a partner or about partnerships, as well as communications with or about family and home, because Mercury rules these areas of your life. It will be important to avoid signing any contracts or making important partnership or family/home decisions during this cycle.

Occurring in your solar second and third houses this time, extra care should be exercised when it comes to new financial initiatives, composing letters, emails, and phone calls, as well as communicating with neighbors and siblings. Back up your computer and allow sufficient time for delays or transportation mishaps when going for appointments. As well, it would be wise to choose your words carefully. What you say or write can too easily be misinterpreted during this period. There may be the need to revisit old, nagging issues regarding personal finances. Take this time to re-budget instead of making premature purchases. Hold off on decision-making regarding money. Instead, take the time to re-think your sources of income and how you spend your cash during this period, but put off finalizing anything important for the time being. In fact, some money-making ideas or ventures may be put on hold due to circumstances beyond your control. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with co-workers, neighbors, and acquaintances, or take this time to re-examine issues rather than communicating about them prematurely.

Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage

Mars is retrograde from April 17-June 29

All Mars retrograde cycles affect you in the areas of personal finances, income, possessions, comfort, and values. These areas might be ambiguous now, or cause for concern and anxiety for the time being. Reassessing these matters becomes necessary. This is a good time for taking a hard look at your budget. It's also a time for understanding how the management of your personal resources impacts your confidence in general.

Occurring in your solar ninth house during this period, enthusiasm for higher education, travel, your personal philosophy, or adventure in general may wane, perhaps due to some problems or setbacks in these areas of life. Some projects may stall, or you could find that you are less confident about expressing yourself in adventurous ways. Your outlook on life in terms of the "bigger picture" could be more cautious, and you might find that you temporarily have less faith, or you are questioning the faith that has carried you to date. Refocus, backtracking, and review become necessary and recommended now. Your outlook and lust for life, for the time being, might not be as natural or spontaneous as it has been.

Overview Horoscope:

There can be a big focus on your financial status and comfort levels this month, dear Pisces, as well as increasing attention to learning, communicating, and making connections. Career and/or reputation matters can be tricky at times, particularly in the second half of the month, but any delays you face can give you time to rethink and make important changes and edits. While you may want to avoid unnecessary displays of rebellion in your relationships, there may be some things that need to surface so that you can put them behind you once and for all. A tendency to spend too quickly or to throw yourself into a new venture without research can run high, but keep in mind that while there can be a lot of excitement felt in the first half of the month, you may face waning motivation or energy levels in the second half. Move forward mindfully.

The New Moon on the 7th can point to a new beginning on business or financial levels. The days following, and particularly from the 9-12 can feel good. You may be embracing change and accepting that some level of unpredictability is good for you. This is a good period for showing the world your unique qualities and talents. Try not to make firm plans until you're truly certain you can follow through. Others can be especially intrigued with your talents or the services you offer professionally. You are communicating with special ease and your powers of persuasion are strong.

One of the main reasons for taking things in rather than pushing things forward too quickly is the retrograde of Mars on the 17th. Sometimes people think they should pack all sorts of new beginnings into the days before a retrograde, but this is unwise. Motivation levels can dip and you might change your mind about certain projects and ideas. This retrograde period lasts from April 17th to June 29th, and the first leg of the retrograde journey (until late May) occurs in your solar sector of career and reputation. While it's likely to cause some disruptions and frustrations in your professional life, you'll eventually realize that going over plans and making adjustments will benefit you most in the long run. Work requires more strategy and patience, as well as a lower profile. This is not the time to push. You may be experiencing delays and assorted slowdowns. Try to steer clear of differences of opinion and other conflicts that threaten to be too public or unprofessional. Work on improving skills and fine-tuning your work. Past financial or professional problems can resurface now. You might be questioning certain life path and long term choices. Manage your time carefully this month. There can be a tendency to procrastinate and to avoid important responsibilities in the second half of April, so pace yourself accordingly.

With Pluto also stationing retrograde around the same time, there is more reason to revise long-term goals. Try not to feel pressure to do so. Friendships can have a heavy energy hanging over them in the third week of April. You may not be feeling as connected as you�d like. Once the intensity of the station passes, you'll be in a better position to see which approaches actually work for you, and which attitudes may need to go.

The Full Moon on the 22nd is a happy one, but occurs at a time of transition and a bit of chaos. This is a time for entertaining your more adventurous side, for looking for different ways to express yourself and connect with a higher purpose. The last week of April puts more emphasis on communications in general, and your need for company increases. Mercury's retrograde begins on the 28th and is in your communications sector, so prepare for it by getting your communications equipment (phones, computers, cars) in good working order.

About  Our Monthly Horoscopes:

Our detailed monthly horoscopes are designed to reveal and interpret the current transits of the Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Mars in your solar chart. Because these energies or transits do not unfold neatly into any given calendar month (many transits carry forward from one month to the next), you will find some of the energies continue from a previous month. For example, the Sun might transit the second house of your solar chart from June 21 to July 22, so that you will find a similar interpretation for this transit in both June and July's horoscope. This is normal and expected. Transits don't suddenly change as the calendar month changes.

These monthly horoscopes also include an overview paragraph, as well as other energies specific to the month, such as retrogrades, eclipses, or major outer planet transits.

The Highlights section reveal lunar cycle dates. Lunar cycles repeat themselves approximately every 28 days, so it is normal to see the same lunar peaks, such as "Your Personal New Moon" and "Monthly career peak" repeat themselves from month to month, but with different dates. They serve as a helpful guide to cycle peaks in different areas of life, such as financial, career, romance, and partnership.

The horoscopes are divided into three groups or decanates, and the differences between the groups are subtle in parts, and large in other parts. For those who prefer a whole sign approach to horoscopes, simply read the first decanate regardless of your birthdate.
