horoscope | April 2007
By Dan Liebman
Aries
March 21 - April 20
Continue to seek advice from experts, but be more trusting of your own opinions. Enjoy interesting discussions with a new friend, especially if your viewpoints differ radically. Stop waiting for a better offer. Tackle routine jobs promptly, before they get ugly.
Taurus
April 21 - May 22
Thanks to a recent boost in confidence, people no longer intimidate you. Toward the middle of the month you’re brazen and ready to speak out against injustices. Don’t hesitate to take small risks in romance. Include youngsters in your late-month plans.
Gemini
May 23 - June 21
Adjectives like upbeat and optimistic describe your mood this month. But you can also be a little klutzy, especially with mechanical devices. Family members are willing to back your plans, but there could be a catch. Friends are becoming less withdrawn.
Cancer
June 22 - July 22
Your willingness to adapt earns high praise at work. In a relationship, you can be overly stubborn. Opt for more research and less impulse buying if making a major purchase. Give family members the benefit of the doubt, even if they lean toward exaggeration.
Leo
July 23 - August 22
People realize your willingness to work hard, and results could play out in one of two ways. Either you get rewarded, or you get stuck with someone else’s work. Don’t hesitate to express your affection for someone, even if you’re just getting to know that person.
Virgo
August 23 - September 22
You’re a step closer to qualifying for a program. Continue to take the initiative. Volunteering your time leads to new interests. A family issue becomes more complex around the 19th. Keep your cool while everyone else engages in high drama.
Libra
September 23 - October 22
By the end of April, you finally receive answers to a string of unresolved questions. Come out of hibernation and immerse yourself in an outdoor activity. Expect to be recruited to help out in a glamorous event slated for the end of the month.
Scorpio
October 23 - November 21
Consider ways to expand your education in a month that accents intellectual interests. One option is to tutor or mentor youngsters. Dealing with a possessive individual can be exhausting, so try to offset the negativity. A few rewards for yourself won’t hurt.
Sagittarius
November 22 - December 22
April offers a good opportunity to connect with friends of friends. Homey touches suit your mood, so you should favour earth tones and rustic foods. Double-check details and figures, especially on tax-related documents. Relatives are willing to support your ideas.
Capricorn
December 23 - January 20
Yours is the zodiac’s most practical sign, but April is an exception. You’re taking risks, being a flirt and dressing in eye-catching colours. By the 30th, you can look back on a month of personal growth and new directions. Just plan on getting ample rest in May.
Aquarius
January 21 - February 19
Things aren’t as they always seem. Be aware of someone who could be passing along false information. The mood at work changes from sombre to upbeat. If you’ve been trying to publish some writing or artwork, April should bring a letter of acceptance.
Pisces
February 20 - March 20
April sees you make a strong commitment to a goal, an individual or both. Don’t be too eager to point the finger at someone until you have all the facts. April Fool’s isn’t limited to the first. You should be on your toes — and skeptical — throughout the month.
