Monthly Horoscopes April 2019
Aries (March 21st - April 19th)
April is your month to shine with a focus on your own health and well-being. As a self-oriented Aries you may be delighted to know that you can embrace all things self-oriented. The Sun is shining in your Zodiac Sign at the start of the month beckoning you to celebrate all things Aries – leadership, initiation, action, and pioneering spirit. As the Nike slogan said: “Just Do It”. You may be drawn to speak up on behalf of others, or to spruik your own projects or wares. You need only keep the communication lines open so that others are on board.
Taurus (April 20th - May 20th)
Think back to last May 2018. What was happening then? Once again, the planet of surprises, Uranus, has entered your Zodiac Sign sparking unexpected events for security loving Taureans. This could be connected to love or money (or both). If others or external circumstances are on shaky ground then take a deep breath and try not to dig your heels in. If nothing is changing then you may be feeling restless. That’s because change is afoot. One or more areas of your life are being liberated. The trick is to be as flexible as possible.
Gemini (May 21st - June 20th)
Geminis are supercharged this month with the fiery planet Mars entering your Zodiac Sign. Now is the right time to sort your priorities and to ensure that you have an outlet for your pent-up drive. Boredom is not an option right now. You have plenty of energy at the best of times and now you can enjoy a high-paced life. You need to be mentally stimulated as well as physically active. The trick is to avoid distractions and focus on your main objectives. You also need to slow down somewhat at the end of the month.
Cancer (June 21st - July 22nd)
As Cancer Sun Sign you are usually so good at hiding your light under a bushel while nurturing others. However, this month it is time to shine in public, in your professional life or as an office bearer in a public group. An opportunity may also arise connected to your role as a parent. Don’t be shy. This is your chance to become the authority in one or more areas of your life. You can now receive the recognition that you so rightly deserve for all of the hard work that you put in behind the scenes.
Leo (July 23rd - August 22nd)
The time has come to broaden your horizons and take a more philosophical approach to life. This can be done through travel, cultural interchanges, spiritual or religious activities or higher learning. The choice is yours. The idea is that you take the focus off the mundane details of your life and see the bigger picture. Questions about life, its meaning and your own spiritual purpose may be at the forefront of your mind. You are likely to be more confident and enthusiast as you no longer worry about minor matters, but rather find meaning in most matters.
Virgo (August 23rd - September 22nd)
As a Virgo you have a sharp mind, logical and organised. Once you have decided on a matter you are not usually known for changing your mind, but this month challenges you to listen to your heart and not your head. With your ruling planet Mercury in sensitive Pisces, the time has come to have a change of heart on one or more long-held subjects. You usually set such high standards for yourself and therefore for others. Forgiveness is likely to be healing during April. You may need to forgive others, or possibly you need to pardon yourself.
Libra (September 23rd - October 22nd)
As a Libran you are adept at looking after other people’s needs, trying to keep the harmony. You are the ultimate diplomat. April sees the emphasis once again on your loved ones, rather than your own needs. Your relationship status is highlighted. If you are single then are you happy to remain so? If you are in a committed relationship then your nearest and dearest is centre stage. Aries-type people, in particular, need your attention now. Daily life, health and pets also demand your time and energy this month. Take time to do soothing activities.
Scorpio (October 23rd - November 21st)
Do you have a lifestyle that satisfies you? Are your habits healthy? These are the types of questions that arise during April. The time has come to reassess how you invest your time, energy and money. If necessary, you can then make adjustments, particularly when it comes to improving your health and wellbeing. Mark your lifestyle goals on your calendar as a commitment to yourself. Otherwise you are likely to find that other people and their problems are taking precedence to your detriment. Unhealthy situations need to be resolved.
Sagittarius (November 22nd - December 21st)
It is hard to keep a good Sagittarius down! You are usually full of enthusiasm, ready to encourage others to join in your fun-filled activities. So, you will be pleased to know that the planets are aligned in a way that invites you to have as much fun as you like in April. The Sun is in the playful 5th House of your Solar Chart heralding child-like enthusiasm. You can be creative, good-humoured and light-hearted. You could be surrounded by children or you can appeal to those who would like to join your playful capers.
Capricorn (December 22nd - January 19th)
Your duties lie with home and family right now. You need to take a moment to consider what needs attention in your personal life. This could be household maintenance or renovations, or a family member who needs extra care. Either way your focus is on your private life rather than on your professional ambitions. It is time to shore up your foundations. Are you happy with the structures that support you and your loved ones? If not, then now is the time to plan and/or implement changes.
Aquarius (January 20th - February 18th)
Effective communication is the key for Aquarians during April. You have much on your mind right now and need to find a positive outlet to express your thoughts, feelings and opinions. If practical matters are the focus then the trick may be to write lists or to delegate some of your responsibilities. If emotional issues are emphasised then you may need to talk to a good listener or adviser. You may also need to escape with a good book or tv series for light relief until your mind is settled and decisions made.
Pisces (February 19th - March 20th)
Your personal finances need some attention during April. Changes in your spending habits may be afoot, or you could be required to start a budget. So many planets have been moving in and out of Pisces indicating changes in your personal life have far-reaching consequences. This may have resulted in a boost in your income or spending power. The trick is to make sure that these changes also boost your self-esteem. Self-worth is about more than money. You have much to offer through your sensitive understanding and handling of situations.

Aries (March 21st - April 19th)
The enigmatic Chiron moves into your Zodiac Sign this month heralding a time of living with the consequences of past actions and providing opportunities for healing. It is time to let go, forgive and forget. This includes forgiving others, asking for forgiveness and forgiving yourself. You can carry a much lighter emotional load once you have travelled this road. Your physical body may also need some tender loving care. For once you need to slow down, listen to your emotions and physical symptoms and take stock. This is not an easy task for the active Aries, but it is an important one. Just think how much more powerful you will once this process is undertaken.
Taurus (April 20th - May 20th)
Uranus, the planet of surprises, is entering your Zodiac Sign again instigating changes in your usually stable life. Life as you know it is about to change, either this month or some time soon depending on your Birth Chart. Think back to last May and you have some clues. It is best to be prepared. For instance, if you know an electrical storm is nigh you don’t stand in the middle of a field. You take cover. In what area of your life do you need to batten down the hatches? It may be connected to your finances, food or other forms of security and comfort. Much better that you remain flexible and prepare yourself.
Gemini (May 21st - June 20th)
Luckily Geminis are quick-witted and fast movers, more than capable of juggling several things at once because this month you in for a few surprises that come out of the blue.

Once again you are required to do what you do best – look after your loved ones. This month the planets are aligned in the relationship sector of your Solar Chart meaning that your primary partnership – marriage or one best friend or perhaps even one of your parents – is under the microscope. This can be a warm and fuzzy type of feeling although this depends on how balanced your relationship is at the best of times. It could also be that you are required to nurture your loved one, letting go of something that is important to you. Duties and responsibilities may be a joint theme. Listen to your intuition.
Leo (July 23rd - August 22nd)

Right now, you need to pay attention to the details, the daily chores that are the foundation for a positive lifestyle. A daily practice such as yoga, prayer or meditation may be uplifting.
Virgo (August 23rd - September 22nd)
March is a month of mixed blessing for Virgos. You are birthing something new – a creative project, a child, a romance or a new idea. However, the birthing process is not all smooth running. Unexpected news, perhaps from overseas or from a place of higher learning, throws a cat amongst the pigeons. This is something that you can deal with but which also gives you pause for reflection by the end of the month. It is a case of one step at a time remaining focussed on the creative spark that inspired you in the first place. Virgos can be sceptical but this is your month to accept a more spiritual or artistic outlook.

However, when life gets overwhelming the housework can pile up. This is your opportunity to create order for the enjoyment of everyone at home.

Scorpio (October 23rd - November 21st)
Currently matters that require concentrated effort are time-consuming. You may have something playing on your mind, or a project that demands mental effort.

The planet Uranus moves into your opposing Sign Taurus in early March indicating the start of a series of changes in the lives of those close to you. Be careful how you react. Your words carry weight right now. Find creative ways to communicate any concerns, opinions or ideas. This is your key to success in March.
Sagittarius (November 22nd - December 21st)
You may be accustomed to winging it when it comes to your personal finances, but this month sees the need for you to plan a personal budget. So, while it may not be your usual style, open your favourite accounting program or spreadsheet app and enter your income and expenditure. Then start a plan. If this seems too much like hard work at the very best you could invest in a money magazine or a book of managing your finances. Either way it is time to look at how you earn your income, how you spend it and whether you are on track with your personal financial goals.
Capricorn (December 22nd - January 19th)

Cancer (June 21st - July 22nd)
Your health and wellbeing are under the microscope this month. If you feel on top of the world then you can make the most of your good health through fun activities.

You start with your own home and then you may also offer to help other members your clan.
Libra (September 23rd - October 22nd)
“The time has come," the walrus said, "to talk of many things:” So just what is it that you would like to talk about? If not talk then perhaps write? This month the planets encourage you to speak up. If you are in sales or marketing then this is the ideal month to get your message across. If you run your own business then how can you spread the word? Whatever your walk of life there is something that needs to either be learnt or taught. So, sign up for a short course, set up your social media, purchase a personal journal or consult a marketing expert. You have the opportunity to connect with others in a new way.
Scorpio (October 23rd - November 21st)

This includes short trips, connecting with siblings and neighbours and activities that stimulate your mind. Studying, teaching and marketing may also be your forte now.
Capricorn (December 22nd - January 19th)

This could be some down time in your own home, or possibly a health or spiritual retreat in nature. Of course, Capricorns do enjoy a luxury holiday when possible. So perhaps you can plan one during February. The time is ripe to reflect rather than act. You may be assessing your own personal worth, both emotionally and financially. By the end of the month you have a clearer idea. Right now, it is okay to take your time and ponder. A lot more is happening behind the scenes than perhaps you even realise.
Aquarius (January 20th - February 18th)
The Sun and Mercury are both in your Zodiac Sign at the start of this month heralding interesting times, as the saying goes. Merriment is a key factor. You are ready to celebrate. You may even be ready for a makeover as you consider your own health and happiness. Aquarians are often fighting for a cause, focussing on the betterment of humanity. But this is your time to focus on your own personal satisfaction. You can take time out to pursue activities that boost your own wellbeing. This, in turn, helps you further your causes in the future. Your social calendar is also likely to be busy and satisfying this month.
Pisces (February 19th - March 20th)
February sees Pisceans gain some recognition for their sensitivity and caring natures. As much as you may feel that others don’t appreciate you this month you learn just how much they do. This could be through public acknowledgement such as a promotion or award. Alternatively, it could be someone in a position of authority praising your contribution. If you are a parent or caregiver then your role is likely to offer satisfaction in February as others respect the way that you look after those in your care. If you have career aspirations then you may spread your wings and try something new, either applying for a promotion, a conference, or for a completely new line of work.
