AQUARIUS (20th January - 18th February)

This month should be rather productive for you, especially for that creative side of your personality. Keep a notebook and pen handy for all those inspirational thoughts that will be flowing through. Opportunities to advance within the workplace should present themselves or a new business venture could be in the wings. Either way, change is imminent and you're in the right headspace to make the most of it. Financially you could be looking at a little extra coming through after the 15th. Healthwise its time to 'care for your hair' - a lack of certain vitamins could create thinning or bald spots. The choice is yours, buy a hat or improve your diet!

PISCES (19th February - 20th March)

This month you may feel a little bit out of your depth but your strength and resilience will see you through. Not having all the answers at your fingertips can be quite daunting but trust that the fickle finger of fate will be on your side. April will be all about change and learning to chill and flow. Health wise, things are looking good for you and family members. Financially, Jupiter will be stirring the pot a bit with finances both seemingly draining out of your account as well as then filling that empty cup. Overall it may feel at times like you are walking through quicksand but solid ground is never too far away. Use this time to grow emotionally and spiritually. The last week should see things returning to the new, better normal.

TAURUS (21st April - 20th May)

Still holding on to some bad habits? Now is the time to knock them to the curb and clean up your act. Finances will improve as the month progresses but only if you behave and be sensible. Don't throw away the good that comes in by being reckless.

CANCER (21st June - 20th July)

You may have to do a little money shuffling this month to make it all work but you should have enough to cover expenses with just a little bit of spoiling included. Healthwise, try not to over indulge or you may regret it. Energy levels are also a little low at the start of the month so please pace yourself. Family should play a large part in your month in one way or another (you may be pleasantly surprised). This month should see you trying new things rather than being dull and stagnant.

This month should revolve around acquiring answers to long term problems or conundrums. A major health change could be in the cards but its not to late to take positive action. There may be a few unexpected financial expenses during April but it shouldn't break the bank. On the positive side, work could offer a pay rise or promotion opportunity. Now would be a good time to start planning a little getaway with a loved one. Taking leaps of faith this month could be risky, best to plan ahead and do it right the first time.

LIBRA (23rd September - 22nd October)

This month I need you to be strong and determined. The first two weeks could have a few unsettling surprises up its sleeve. Stay focused on the tasks you want to complete and don't get distracted by outside influences. After the 20th, things calm down and should return to normal. Finances may have a habit of going out as fast as they come in, so budgeting will be important. A friend or family member could disappoint you but remember: we all make mistakes... try to walk the higher road.

You may be surprised by the support you will receive. Health issues are focusing around the ears during April, perhaps its time to get them checked? The more effort you put into this month, the more you will get out of it. Financially things look better after the 28th, so a little patience will be needed.

Crystal for the month: Labradite

SAGITTARIUS (23rd November - 20th December)

Don't put your faith in the wrong people this month, if you want something done right you may just have to do it yourself. April has a lot of high energy in it for you, so interactions with others shouldn't be boring to say the least. Try not to over commit yourself or you may burn out before the months end. Health wise: listen to your body! Those with small children should take extra precautions regarding childhood illnesses such as measles, mumps or chickenpox. Nothing will be stock-standard this month, everything is just a little more intense, but you can make that work to your advantage. Watch out for miscommunications around the 13th. Finances actually don't look too bad this month, in fact you may find a little windfall flows your way.

CAPRICORN (21st December - 19th January)

This month all your hard work could be coming to fruition. April sees you standing strong and in control of your destiny.

Many will relocate or upgrade their living environments. New career directions started this month should also have a long life ahead. Singles could find a new love, and established couples could set a date or move in together. For married couples, you may consider either renewing your vows or sleeping in separate beds (it could go either way i'm afraid). Firm and final decisions, that is April in a nutshell.
