April 2017 horoscopes

Aries

March 21 – April 19

This month is an explosive, expansive time for you, Aries. You can break through limitations that have been holding you back or get caught up in webs of your own making — the choice is yours. Here’s a key to help you on your way: don’t strategize what to do. Instead figure out what is most authentic for you and let that guide you. The full moon on the 10th will bring up relationship issues that you really need to tend to, so be humble and let whatever comes up make you more self-aware. You won’t have to defend yourself if you can stand by your actions, my love.

Taurus

April 20 – May 20

The new moon on the 26th in your sign only happens once a year, and it’s a great time to get right with yourself, Taurus. Between the new moon and Mercury going into retrograde in your sign, it’s time to take stock of where you’ve been. This is a great month for you to connect or reconnect with old friends or pick up projects that you’ve lost track of. You need to feel engaged by your life, so make sure that you have more going on than just your obligations and routines. Pursue meaning and joy this month.

Gemini

May 21 – June 21

This month can be really fun for you if you heed a few warnings. The first is that you need to take care of your body; make sure you’re tending to the basics like going to the dentist and drinking enough water. The next is that there’s a huge difference between hiding out and avoiding people, and enjoying your own company and the comforts of your own home. By the 22nd motivating Mars shifts into your sign, helping you to be more proactive and effective in all you do. In the meantime enjoy yourself, Twin Star.

Cancer

June 22 – July 22

You may feel a bit like hiding under the sheets this month, but don’t do it, Moonchild! Now is the time to get involved and take responsibility for how you handle yourself. Don’t let the little things and passing upsets knock you off track. The full moon on the 10th will be an especially emo time, so meter your reactions conservatively. If you can keep your eyes on the prize and stay focused, you’re capable of making huge improvements in both your work and personal life.  You don’t need to know what’s coming next in order to do the right thing in the here and now.

Leo

July 23 – Aug. 22

This is a great month to review your work and see if you’re doing what you set out to do. There’s energy to support you in creating more opportunity and improving your current conditions, but first you’ve got to take a moment to learn from your greatest teacher: history. Make sure you’re not slipping into old habits, Leo. Your love life also needs a little TLC from you, but it doesn’t have to be anything too dramatic. Just remember to shower your loved ones with the affection that they deserve this month.

Virgo

Aug. 23 – Sept. 22

Make sure that you’re managing your resources in a way that reflects your values, Virgo. The full moon on the 10th is a great time to check in with your finances. Venus will be in your relationship house most of the month and that’s good news for love. Show up to your relationships with your whole self. For extra brownie points, look at the role that fear has been playing in how you relate to others. Whether it’s your work wife, your partner, or your BFF that need attention, this month is a great time to show up with a whole heart.

Libra

Sept. 23 – Oct. 22

The full moon in your sign on the 10th is just in time for you to get ahead, Libra. This month will bring up some restlessness and how you deal with it is everything. You are entitled to feeling whatever you feel, but if you don’t let the people you love know where you’re at, you won’t get any closer with them. How you participate in your relationships is up this month. The way you’ll have lasting connections that make you happy is if you take emotional risks. Show up and be real — even if that makes things awkward, my love.

Scorpio

Oct. 23 – Nov. 21

The antidote to anxiety is gratitude, Scorpio. Yours is an obsessive nature, and it’s hard to beat nature. What you can do is to decide what you’re going to obsess on. Find positive things in your life or the world at large that you can be authentically thankful for. The best way to get to the other side of your worries is with intention and focus — as long as your intention is to be happy and your focus is on things that will allow you to be. Life is hard and being stressed is OK if you find creative ways to handle yourself, my love.

Sagittarius

Nov. 22 – Dec. 21

Don’t be weirded out if issues from your childhood or stuff that’s way in the past with your chosen family start to feel very present for you this month. You’re on call to review and reflect on your past in close relationships, ‘Tarius. Pay attention to the themes that are up in your life with others, and most importantly, how you participate in them. Things are changing, and while that can be scary it doesn’t have to be bad. Uncertainty can produce fertile ground for innovation; rise to the occasion and grow beyond the limitations of your past.

Capricorn

Dec. 22 – Jan. 19

This month starts off with the risk for major power struggles, so tread lightly. From the 4th until the 9th you may be tempted to act out or see the worst in situations. There’s a super emo full moon on the 10th, and to make matters more complicated Mercury, the planet of communications goes retrograde on the 9th. Don’t dredge up the past unless you’re willing to answer to it, Cappy. You don’t get to control how others think or behave, but you do have jurisdiction over your own attitudes and actions. Don’t participate in dank dynamics, or in ways that are out of integrity this month.

Aquarius

Jan. 20 – Feb. 18

One of the many problems with anxious thinking is that when you make a choice out of fear, you tend to get the thing you fear most. Watch out for options that seem too good to be true this month, because they probably are. The new moon on the 26th will bring a shift in energy that will feel like relief, but until then you’ve got to deal with some shadowy stuff, Aquarius. Learn more about yourself by figuring out what you’re afraid of, and when you can’t do that, try and spend some quiet time reflecting.

Pisces

Feb. 19 – March 20 

If you don’t trust yourself you always have to rely on other people and that’s a dangerous practice. Take ownership of what your wants and needs are so you can do whatever is necessary to manifest them. You don’t have to be assured that you’ll succeed in order to try, Pisces. Take chances and step outside of your comfort zone in efforts to create a more abundant life. The only true way to fail is by not learning anything. Confidence is gained from life experience, so get out and get some, my love.
