Horoscopes: 16 – 22 April 2013

ARIES {Mar 21–Apr 20}
Now that two of the zodiacs greatest thinkers, Mercury and Uranus, are passing through your sign, your ability to detach from the emotional and use your head for both reason and rationale are considerably enhanced. Being objective is no
bad thing, it helps you avoid taking things personally.

TAURUS {Apr 21–May 21}
With your ruler’s move into your sign, a more tranquil sense of ‘it’s going to be ok’ can finally descend. Not that the mania is entirely over but you will be able to enjoy it more, especially now that your relationships will improve under this influence.

GEMINI {May 22–June 21}
He who dares to dream the impossible changes our perception of what exactly the impossible is. But he who accepts reality as all that there is, has impoverished his potential and limited his scope. While it may be obvious to which side your loyalties lay, it’s ok to hold dear old values that are timeless.

CANCER {June 22–July 22}
The self justification of our behaviour may give us self assurance but it is unlikely to influence the minds of those who judge us. Shocking though it is – yes, you are being judged at every moment – most of the time, but it is not others’ minds that you must seek to control – but your own.

LEO {July 23–Aug 22}
You may not know why you’re looking so hot, but it doesn’t take a very good astrologer to know why. With Beautifying Venus oozing her charm, you cannot fail to dazzle. Important messages are coming from far out places.

VIRGO {Aug 23–Sep 22}
Part of what makes philosophers strive to understand or explain existence is a deep love of wisdom. It’s worth remembering that wisdom and knowledge are not the same as this week unfolds and your love of wisdom is reignited.

LIBRA {Sep 23–Oct 22}
Love deepens as your ruler gets comfortable in her own sign of Taurus, sensual pleasures are harder to resist while your senses are so responsive. Remember it’s also about the transforming power of love, so get in touch with your physical body.

SCORPIO {Oct 23–Nov 21}
You always were the sharpest knife in the drawer, but with the current financial climate favouring you for attracting investment from further afield, you may have turned business savvy into a fine art! While your work is demanding, you can prove your worth.

SAGITTARIUS {Nov 22–Dec 20}
Love has never been so much fun and yet a niggling feeling that the rug could be pulled out from under you just won’t go away.
The disruptive influence of Uranus is what makes unsettled love so exciting. Get used to the idea of constant change.

CAPRICORN {Dec 21–Jan 19}
Love is definitely on your mind now but there’s an obstacle to be overcome, of course you adore traditional values and you like to take your time, come out of your comfort zone and accept that someone’s impetuousness is actually a big compliment.

AQUARIUS {Jan 20–Feb 19}
Your ruling planet Uranus is colluding with cerebral Mercury so it’s time to be that little bit more maverick, particularly if you’ve got something to say to your siblings. It’s time to integrate all those lessons you have learned about romance while Jupiter is still passing through your house of love.

PISCES {Feb 20–Mar 20}
As Neptune your ruler makes a romantic aspect to sensual Venus, it’s all very well daydreaming about love but at some point you’ve got to get physical. Issues concerning education may require more commitment than you expect.
