Passions run

Passions run blisteringly hot this week as an explosive Venus-Pluto transit kicks your love life into high gear. In fact, romance is about all you'll be able to focus on when these two planets move center stage!


On April 27, loving Venus squares off with passionate, possessive Pluto in a pairing that can bring as much ecstasy as agony. Any relationship that starts now will feel as though fate is telling you, "This is the one." But Pluto has little to no use for any happily-ever-afters; rather, it wants you to change for the better, since the purpose of any relationship at this point is to help you re-assess yourself and move forward.

Feelings of jealousy and manipulation can arise when Pluto is involved. April 27's pairing of Venus and Pluto can also mean that people around you may have ulterior motives -- so in this case, maintaining a certain level of cynicism will be helpful.

Ultimately, this could be a painful or exciting transit, depending on how open to change you are. If you're willing to go along with Pluto's lessons, the end result will be something great.

Fortunately, on April 28, the Taurus Sun will also join with Pluto, and all the ups and downs April has brought forth should finally come to an end. You'll emerge from it all stronger, with more determination and a brighter path ahead!

April 23,

When romantic Venus and adventuresome Uranus get together, sparks are certain to fly. Add flirty Aries to the mix, and you've got a celestial alignment that's sure to bring a zesty fling to your love life!


On April 23, Venus and Uranus will meet in Aries for an affair to remember. You'll experience an instant, magnetic attraction -- a passion like no other. This is a great time to get out, be social and flirt your heart out!

Just be sure to do so with a bit of caution, as this is a transit that will shut off as quickly as it turned on; after all, romances launched under this influence aren't meant to last. Even more importantly, you don't want to do anything to sabotage a current relationship, as you'll likely end up wishing you could undo everything.

Strong relationships will persevere under these influences, and you'll enjoy the burst of intensity. Relationships that are already on the brink, however, are likely to topple.

Fortunately, also on April 23, Mercury will turn direct, a transit that will ease some of the shock caused by Venus and Uranus. Finally, all the miscommunications and technological meltdowns of the past couple weeks will come to an end. Mercury in Aries likes things to happen quickly and efficiently, so you'll feel a lot better as soon as it returns to its forward course.

Throughout April

Throughout April, the stars have aligned to make life a little sticky and challenging. While you still have another couple days of tricky aspects to endure, you've almost made it through the tunnel!


Before you reach the light at the end of it, though, you first have to get through April 18. That day, the full Moon will rise in fair-minded Libra opposite the fiery Aries Sun. Your task will be to strike a balance in your relationships. However, selfless Libra and egocentric Aries do not find middle ground easily, so you'll have your work cut out for you.

Also on April 18, Mars and Saturn will face off in an opposition that could lead to frustration -- and even accidents. The best way to handle this will be to focus on a specific task that requires great attention to detail, for the less aware of the rest of the world you can be that day, the easier it will be to avoid mishaps.

April 20 will finally bring a sigh of relief as the Sun moves out of Aries and into mellow, earthy Taurus. Taurus is a sensible, indulgent sign and quite opposed to sudden change, so your life should start to calm down. Then, on April 21, Venus will move into Aries, and you'll feel much more comfortable stating what you want -- and using your charms to get it!

Horoscrope April 2

A huge energy shift is upon us as Neptune, one of the powerful outer planets, slowly glides into Pisces on April 4. After waiting for Neptune to travel through technology-crazed Aquarius since the late 1990s, Pisces will finally see its ruling planet return for the first time in 150 years.


Starting on the 4th, the background ambiance will transition from rebellious and technology-driven to poetic, artistic and compassionate. This is a great time to pursue your creative passions, as the world will be much more responsive to your ideas. These next 15 years will also be a time of idealism, and you'll be tempted to sit around all day, dreaming of a better world. Neither Pisces or Neptune are very active planets, so most likely, you'll stick to dreaming, rather than taking action.

Then, on April 6, you'll get a burst of enthusiasm as the Aries Sun moves in close to Jupiter. You'll most likely hear some good news -- possibly related to finances -- and you'll feel a surge of confidence and exuberance. Try to practice a little self-discipline, and you'll reap countless benefits from this exciting alignme
