Sagittarius Monthly Horoscope – April 2018

Sagittarius (Born November 23 to December 2) AND Sagittarius Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Sagittarius:

April 2018 Sagittarius Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

Overview.
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness

Until April 20th:

The Sun continues to put a spotlight on your solar fifth house. This is a time when pleasure-seeking and creative activities come into focus and grab much of your attention. You are particularly personally charming in a spontaneous, natural way during this solar cycle. This is the time of year when you are ready to perform and to express yourself creatively.

This is a very playful cycle, when you are inspired creatively and emotionally. It's a good time for recreation, romance, connecting with children, and enjoying and performing the arts. Your ego is tied up in your children, romantic relationships, and creative output now, so that you can be especially proud of these people and things. You can also be over-sensitive about these matters if you feel you are not getting enough appreciation.

From April 20th forward:

The Sun illuminates your solar sixth house. During this cycle, you take more pride in the work you do and in your health routines than any other time of the year. You are sorting through the experiences of the last several months, separating the worthwhile from the worthless. This is a good time to build your skills, to get organized, and to attend to your health and wellbeing. It's a great time to make improvements to your regular routines. Your self-esteem and your ego are tied up in the work you do and in the services you give. Details are more important to you now.

It's time to bring order to your life by focusing on the little things that make up the whole. This cycle presents an opportunity to get rid of what doesn't work in your life, while also discovering what does. You could seek distinction and strive towards perfection in your work. Efficiency should be your goal now. Your physical health, as well as the relationship between your body and your mind, are in focus.

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

Until the 24th: 

Venus graces your solar sixth house now. Establishing a happy and harmonious work environment through friendly relations with co-workers or tidying up your work area comes into focus now. Romantic and social activities may revolve around your working environment. You are generally well liked and respected socially on the job right now. Some laziness is possible now, as you tend to associate pleasure with work! Perhaps you are socializing more than usual on the job. You have good team spirit during this cycle, and you are more tactful and obliging with your co-workers. You are less inclined to fall in love for the sake of love itself during this cycle. Your tendency is to consider whether it is clever to do so! You're most successful doing tasks that involve cooperation and team harmony. You could find that your talents or skills are especially appreciated. Romantic and social activities may revolve around your working environment.

From April 24th forward: 

Venus graces your solar seventh house during this period. This is a time for extra attention to a partner or significant other, as well as from that person! You are more inclined to flatter and charm others during this cycle. One-to-one relating appeals to you more than group activities or more casual connections. Smoothing out your close personal relationships is what makes you happy during this cycle. If single, you are more willing than normal to enter into a committed relationship. In general, you are adaptable when it comes to your affections--very willing to compromise, negotiate, and make peace.

Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation

Mercury is retrograde from March 22nd to April 15th:

All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of communications with bosses or in your career in general, as well as communications with a close partner, because Mercury rules these areas of your life. An argument over joint finances can also get you into hot water. Hold back. Because Virgo and Gemini are on the angles of your chart, you may be especially sensitive to all of the common Mercury Retrograde issues.

Occurring in your solar fifth house this time, extra care should be exercised when it comes to matters surrounding romance, children, and creativity. Be as non-judgmental as you can with romantic partners and your children, if applicable. Re-thinking the suitability of your romantic relationships is possible now, but you should avoid jumping to any premature decisions. There may be the need to revisit old issues with your children or lover, or there could be some communication problems with the same. Arguments with a lover may be blown out of proportion far too easily. Both you and your lover should avoid harping on the words used and try to get to the meaning behind the words instead. Or, a romance may not be moving forward in obvious ways. It might seem like stagnation, but it's actually a period of review and rest. Other possibilities include calls that are not returned, a lover is late for a date, or dates get cancelled. Speculation and gambling are not advised right now. It's probably not the best time to launch a new creative project, but it's a good time for reworking an existing one. Same goes for romance! Things will change after Mercury turns direct, so you might decide to try to keep status quo for the time being. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with romantic partners, and children; or take this time to re-examine issues rather than communicating about them prematurely.

This month:

Mercury continues to transit your solar fifth house. Increased communication with children, romantic partners, and people who share the same hobbies as you can occur now. Certainly, you are thinking about these people and about love and romance, child rearing, and/or creative pursuits more than usual. Mental exercises and competitions can be particularly enjoyable now. You express yourself with warmth and creativity, and you have an appreciative "audience" for your ideas now.

Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage

All month:

Mars continues to energize your solar second house. You tend to put more effort into making money or making your life more comfortable and secure during this cycle. Your strong desire to be financially independent could lead to positive things, such as paying off debts or increased enterprise. The opposite side of the coin is asserting your independence by making impulsive purchases or taking risks with your money. You are more protective of the way you earn or spend money, as well as with the values you live your life by, and if others question you about these things, there could be arguments.

Overview Horoscope:

April 2018 Sagittarius Monthly Horoscope: You begin April with a stronger awareness of your social needs or your feelings about special people in your life, dear Sagittarius. In fact, it's an important month for arriving at a better understanding of your social or romantic connections as well as your special projects and personal objectives. There's also a growing theme of attention to work and health matters this month. Relationships with the people you spend time with in pursuit of your daily goals are set to improve. There is more joy in your work or routines, as well.

Mars is charging through your resources sector all month, encouraging you to pursue a better lifestyle or financial objectives with more confidence. Even so, from the 2-26, Mars is caught between two heavyweight planets -- Saturn and Mars -- and will need to slow its roll to get where it wants to go. This requires patience and determination. On the 2-4, you may be facing financial realities and getting to a realistic idea of your capabilities.  Activities that enhance your feeling of being on top of things and in charge of your life can be in focus now, and hard work can be involved. Paying particular attention to rules or pacing yourself can be your best bet now. There can be some misunderstandings or delays to deal with now, but nothing you can't overcome. In fact, irritating delays or blocks may end up revealing better methods for getting to where you want to go.

Mercury's retrograde cycle until the 15th can point to some slowdowns or delays. You may not have all the information you need to move forward on a matter, mainly related to work, relationships, and creative projects or other heartfelt pursuits. After the 15th, blocks lift and you see forward movement. However, it's important to keep in mind that April is a month for exercising patience. It may only be after the 26th that you feel freer to pursue your goals, but there are certainly some sweet spots along the way.

One such window is the 10-14, when there's good energy with you for coming to agreements with others, making purchases or business moves, personal appeal, and for relationship strengthening. Opportunities now can come from behind the scenes or hidden sources and through your strong connections to others. You might come up with brilliant ideas for business, work, or health routines. Routines and work tend to flow along well, and others seem supportive. Healing and health-building activities are especially rewarding now. You might take particular pleasure in offering your help or services. You can be the go-to person, and you enjoy the chance to share your skills or knowledge. You're finding the motivation to do something more with your talents, resources, or money, and you're discovering meaningful or creative ways to do so. Brand new beginnings are best not attempted just yet, but you can still get a lot done now.

Look for old resources or ideas that benefit you in the present, or consider drawing upon your talents and resources that you've been underutilizing. The New Moon on the 15th is not without its problems, but it does prompt a new beginning after a dry spell and delays related to your creative or romantic pursuits. The 22-23 finds things picking up further. You more readily identify sources of waste or fear and take steps to put them behind you. Volunteer work or some other behind the scenes activity can be especially rewarding. Your appeal is through the roof at this time.

Venus moves into your partnership zone from the 24th forward, and your focus is increasingly more social. This is an excellent time to attract warm, helpful, or pleasant people and relationships into your life, as well as for more thoroughly and freely enjoying current relationships.

While it builds for a good part of April, Mars and Pluto finally form an alignment in your resources sector on the 25-26, and what you make, own, and believe in can be sensitive topics. If you've been unhappy with your money situation or with how others treat you, frustrations can reach a boiling point at this time, and you'll want to take action to make significant changes. It's a good time to eliminate certain expenses or redundancies in your spending, get rid of excess clutter, or rework a budget. It's also a beautiful time to work towards a new goal or recommit to a business goal. You have a powerful sense of what matters, although everything can be magnified and exaggerated in your mind in the heat of the moment. You can feel driven to gain more control over your life and your material resources. The Full Moon on the 29th is also a more emotional or passionate time of the month. This lunation occurs in Scorpio, the sign behind yours, and for you, is one of the most psychic, intuitive lunations of the year. Listen to your intuition now, as it has valuable information for you! You may awaken to your true feelings on a matter.

Sagittarius (Born December 3 to 12) and Sagittarius Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Sagittarius:

April 2018 Sagittarius Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

Overview.

The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness

All month:

The Sun illuminates your solar fifth house now. After a period of "nesting", you are coming out of your shell, ready to perform and to express yourself creatively. This is a very playful period of the year, when you are inspired creatively and emotionally. After a period of self-protectiveness, you are now more spontaneous and more willing to take risks. You take more pride than usual in your creations, your love affairs, your children, and your hobbies. Pleasure and amusement play an important role in your search for freedom of self-expression now. Show off your best colors!

You want others to take notice, and you are more sensitive to whether people appreciate you. More than any time of the year, this is the cycle in which you focus on having fun, enjoying romance, and expressing yourself creatively. Your hobbies, leisure time, moments spent with children, gaming time, and so forth, all come into focus at this time of year.

This is a cycle in which you find joy in expressing who you are--when your "inner child" comes out to play. This is a time when you are more flirtatious than usual, and when you might take a few risks in life--not only gambling with games but with life itself. You might be a bit of a showman at this time. You are likely feeling good in general, and you tend to spread the joy.

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

Until the 8th: 

Venus continues to transit your solar fifth house. Your popularity is on an upward trend during this cycle as others find you especially attractive and friendly. You may have the desire to dress well and in good taste. There is strength in your feelings of love and the power of attraction, which may open the door to new romantic relationships. Yet, you are not aggressive in your approach to love. Instead, you attract more if you allow yourself to be pursued during this cycle. Conditions are highlighted in connection with young people, and quite possibly a female child--a stronger bond could be formed during this period. You are feeling inspired creatively and romantically and you express your loving feelings quite openly now. Creative self-expression of any kind is favored at this time. You will also thoroughly enjoy artistic, musical, or cultural events and activities, especially in the company of a loved one. At this time, you instinctively know how to place yourself in the best light in order to make a good impression on others. Any love affair begun now will be characterized by good cheer, having fun, and a fair share of emotional drama!

From April 8th forward: 

Venus graces your solar sixth house now. Establishing a happy and harmonious work environment through friendly relations with co-workers or tidying up your work area comes into focus now. Romantic and social activities may revolve around your working environment. You are generally well liked and respected socially on the job right now.

It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with romantic partners, and children; or take this time to re-examine issues rather than communicating about them prematurely.

From April 27th forward: 

Mercury transits your solar fifth house. During this cycle, there is a powerful mental connection with your creative self-expression. You are proud of your ideas, and very good at expressing them to others smoothly now. Your thinking is more creative than usual. You tend to entertain others with your conversation; and your sense of humor (and of mischief!) is especially strong.

Your thoughts turn to children, pleasures, or romance during this expressive cycle. You might enjoy researching speculative ventures now. You especially enjoy games that involve competing with others on a mental level. You have a stronger need than usual for intellectual stimulation. Therefore, your friends and romantic partner are best appreciated now if they are intellectual types. You're more willing to take risks on a mental level now, so take advantage of the increased spontaneity and creativity that comes with this position.

Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage

Until the 5th:

Mars continues to activate your solar first house, supplying you with added energy to apply towards personal goals, and a more assertive and direct approach to the world in general.

This is an excellent period for physical training and exercise of any kind. The desire to be self-sufficient and independent is especially strong now. You are far less tolerant of being restricted by or dependent on others, and this is a good time to identify your personal strengths and take positive action to rectify situations that may have previously felt frustrating or repressive.

You might be especially attracted to personal challenges, and seeing just how far you can push. However, be careful not to push yourself (and others) too far.

From April 5th forward:

Mars energizes your solar second house. You have more energy at your disposal to make money, but also to defend your values. This can be a very resourceful time, when you make the most of what you have. You have much energy for new money-making projects, or for stepping up existing ones.

You may be over-identifying with what you have and own, and you could be trying to prove yourself (your worth) to others using money and possessions as the means to do so. If conflicts occur during this transit, they are likely to be over issues of ownership. This is a time when impulse buying is at a peak. You probably should avoid using credit right now, simply because your spending habits may be excessive and impulsive.

Sagittarius (Born December 13 to 21) and Sagittarius Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Sagittarius:

April 2018 Sagittarius Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

Overview.

The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness

Until April 10th:

The Sun continues to put a spotlight on your solar fourth house. This is a period of recharge, of getting in touch with your innermost feelings, of connecting with your roots, and of spending more time and energy on home and family. Home and family matters capture your attention and are a strong source of pride now. It's a time when worldly matters are not as important to you.

Use this energy to find ways to improve your family relations and your home environment. During this heart-warming cycle, you would do best to allow yourself to explore your inner needs so that you can nurture yourself and others in a healthy, growth-oriented manner, in preparation for more outgoing times to come.

From April 10th forward:

The Sun illuminates your solar fifth house now. After a period of "nesting", you are coming out of your shell, ready to perform and to express yourself creatively. This is a very playful period of the year, when you are inspired creatively and emotionally. After a period of self-protectiveness, you are now more spontaneous and more willing to take risks.

Your tendency is to consider whether it is clever to do so! You're most successful doing tasks that involve cooperation and team harmony. You could find that your talents or skills are especially appreciated. Romantic and social activities may revolve around your working environment.

Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation

This month: 

Mercury moves through your solar fourth house. This is a time during which you can enjoy increased powers of concentration. You may require solitude in order to get mental work done during this cycle. Your memory is more retentive than usual, and your thoughts often turn to personal matters, family, and loved ones. You might particularly enjoy discussions about your early life, the past, or family matters during this cycle. In fact, it's a great time to open up conversations with loved ones, as you are more rational when it comes to personal matters now.

Your mind often wanders to domestic concerns, and issues surrounding your home, family, and personal past. On the other hand, this transit sometimes indicates an especially busy, and perhaps hectic, period on the domestic scene. For example, you might take home work or find that people drop by your home often during this cycle.

Mercury is retrograde from March 22nd to April 15th:

All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of communications with bosses or in your career in general, as well as communications with a close partner, because Mercury rules these areas of your life. An argument over joint finances can also get you into hot water. Hold back. Because Virgo and Gemini are on the angles of your chart, you may be especially sensitive to all of the common Mercury Retrograde issues.

Occurring in your solar fourth house this time, extra care should be exercised when it comes to family relations, real estate matters, and domestic issues. Be as non-judgmental as you can with family members. It may be challenging to keep a healthy perspective regarding deeply personal matters and family. Family members may be on edge, or appear to be. Home repairs may not turn out as expected. Try to put off major decision- making with regards to home improvement, moving, and family matters for the time being. New initiatives surrounding home and property are best left for a better time, but reworking and reorganizing your home can be especially fruitful now.

Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage

Until April 24th:

Mars continues to activate your solar first house, supplying you with added energy to apply towards personal goals, and a more assertive and direct approach to the world in general.

This is an excellent period for physical training and exercise of any kind. The desire to be self-sufficient and independent is especially strong now. You are far less tolerant of being restricted by or dependent on others, and this is a good time to identify your personal strengths and take positive action to rectify situations that may have previously felt frustrating or repressive.

You might be especially attracted to personal challenges, and seeing just how far you can push. However, be careful not to push yourself (and others) too far.

Brand new beginnings are best not attempted just yet, but you can still get a lot done now.

Look for old resources or ideas that benefit you in the present, or consider drawing upon your talents and resources that you've been underutilizing. The New Moon on the 15th is not without its problems, but it does prompt a new beginning after a dry spell and delays related to your creative or romantic pursuits. The 22-23 finds things picking up further. You more readily identify sources of waste or fear and take steps to put them behind you. Volunteer work or some other behind the scenes activity can be especially rewarding. Your appeal is through the roof at this time.

Venus moves into your partnership zone from the 24th forward, and your focus is increasingly more social. This is an excellent time to attract warm, helpful, or pleasant people and relationships into your life, as well as for more thoroughly and freely enjoying current relationships.

While it builds for a good part of April, Mars and Pluto finally form an alignment in your resources sector on the 25-26, and what you make, own, and believe in can be sensitive topics. If you've been unhappy with your money situation or with how others treat you, frustrations can reach a boiling point at this time, and you'll want to take action to make significant changes. It's a good time to eliminate certain expenses or redundancies in your spending, get rid of excess clutter, or rework a budget. It's also a beautiful time to work towards a new goal or recommit to a business goal. You have a powerful sense of what matters, although everything can be magnified and exaggerated in your mind in the heat of the moment. You can feel driven to gain more control over your life and your material resources. The Full Moon on the 29th is also a more emotional or passionate time of the month. This lunation occurs in Scorpio, the sign behind yours, and for you, is one of the most psychic, intuitive lunations of the year. Listen to your intuition now, as it has valuable information for you! You may awaken to your true feelings on a matter.
