Aries

March 21 to April 20 

This year promises plenty of excitement, as relationships gather pace and passions reach boiling point. Security and a sense of belonging will become more important, with singles feeling an urge to settle down. The next few weeks will offer up some strong contenders, but in case you’re unimpressed, Venus provides more erotic encounters in the months to come, and Saturn brings a karmic relationship in the form of romance or friendship. But don’t become too candid about your feelings. Take care whom you confide in – not everyone is trustworthy. Meanwhile, self-discipline all but disappears for coupled Arians, as they turn the bedroom into a sexual sauna. This impulsive spirit doesn’t just invade your love life – financial matters will also run unchecked.

Taurus

April 21 to May 20

Saturn encourages you to streamline your responsibilities. In the past, you’ve been too accepting of your massive workload. Now, you come to realise that you’re missing out on other pleasures. This month offers continued success, but with a better sense of balance. Venus hints at an image update, while Mars encourages friendships. Or maybe it’s a time for pampering and romance. You choose.

Gemini

May 21 to June 21

Sisters may be doing it for themselves, but perhaps not for one another. We’ve all been so wrapped up in our own insecurities that we haven’t noticed the needs of loved ones. April suggests safety in numbers, so gather friends, colleagues and family and make achievements a team effort. But if you prefer a less crowded setting, new love should trigger your imaginative musings.

Cancer

June 22 to July 22

As anyone who’s been forced onto a stage will tell you, an uncomfortable out-of-body experience can happen in front of an audience. This month, you might find yourself in the spotlight, but doing fine. Finances, though, could become a source of concern. Those “must-have” urges may test even the strongest of wills. Sentimental ties lead to a temptation to revisit old ground. If already coupled, take care.

Leo

July 23 to August 22

Prepare for a cash catastrophe. One indiscretion too many could cost you your financial comfort zone. After the 15th, Mars offers a last-minute cash boost to save the day. Soon after, there’s little chance of keeping you still; you want to be far removed from routine. Along with this energy comes a demand for proper recognition – as does an uncanny ability to sense romantic opportunities. 

Virgo

August 23 to September 22 

April finds you more inspired and ready to grab life with renewed enthusiasm. Financial prospects soar, and while most other zodiac signs are navigating the relationship maze, your romantic path looks straightforward. If single, there’s plenty of scope for love, which may develop through friendships or family introductions. For couples, sexual rapport runs high – with a possible merging of business and pleasure.

Libra

September 23 to October 22

Having survived so many changes in recent months, you’re ready to call a time-out. But the planets say otherwise. Despite feeling tired, you’re asked to stay focused. Fortunately, you’re able to call on the more pragmatic elements of your character and act accordingly. Others will be looking to you for leadership. Yet it’s not all hard work. In late April, your libido is allowed more latitude to play.

Scorpio

October 23 to November 21

If early April seems sluggish, don’t be fooled. As the weeks pass, you’ll feel tensions mount – until an explosive moment after the 15th when Mars flings you into frantic activity. At work, your ideas blaze a fiery trail, while your love life looks set for a breakthrough. Also, watch out for an opportunity to make the best of your intuition, as your dreams start to take on more clarity.

Sagittarius

November 22 to December 21

Keep your cool this month. This is one of those times when impulse and misplaced anger can cause huge misunderstandings. Though logic tells you to do one thing, your emotions may steer you differently. Perhaps your intuition isn’t quite on the mark, so it may be wise to take advice from others. Still, it’s not all bad news. After the 18th, your romance sector sets the scene for carnal satisfaction.

Capricorn

December 22 to January 19

The cosmos is asking you to slow down, which is probably welcome news. If you can’t come to a complete halt, try to go with the flow; you may be surprised by who’s sailing along beside you. Life may be quieter than usual, but in no way are you robbed of your sexual magnetism – this month, you will be noticed. It may not be an instant love match, but from friendship, a lasting relationship should develop.

Aquarius

January 20 to February 18

Venus pushes for a more dependable home base. So if relationships feel feigned, you may be tempted to roam. April also prompts the resolution of family feuds, where painful childhood memories demand redressing. The upside is you’ve been suppressing that pain for too long and the truth can be liberating. If presented with a get-rich-quick scheme that seems too good to be true, you’re right – it’s a dud.  

Pisces

February 19 to March 20
You have so many planets onside this month, it’s hard to know where to begin. There are plenty of things to do. Luckily, you’re feeling energetic and you just may finish a little bit of everything. There’ll be some testier times, too, but you’re about to set off a chain reaction that can’t help but lead to success. In romance, expect a merger of love and intellect – so sign up for those evening classes, pronto.
