April Horoscopes

by Henry Seltzer

Scorpio Horoscope (October 23 - November 21)
Fixed Water. Your ruling planets are Mars and Pluto.

A good month for magic and possibilities, Scorpio. You are strong on service at this time, and for catching at least a glimpse of who you might become when you finally grow up. Mystical madness at the very core of your being also has you dreamy and confused. Partnership is a powerful tool for you right now, and reveals yourself to you as made up more of inner than of outer resources. Your imagination is functioning in overdrive and you are very sensitive to the big picture universe that surrounds you. This is wonderful, but can be hard on the rational mind that wants explanations and is dissatisfied with paradox. If you keep trying you will get to a form of answer in order to bridge the logical gap.

As the month begins, you are reinventing yourself along more self-empowered lines. You are tuning in to where you need to be in pursuing your life goals, aligning yourself with the universe and with your piece of it. This is very exciting, as you seek to come to terms with some issues that have been a struggle in the past. You are looking for a place to stand where you can move your world, one that serves your highest purpose for yourself going forward in a practical way, and also perhaps in some hitherto unexplored fashion serves humankind as well. The First Quarter Moon of Thursday, April 2nd, brings these considerations to a head. This is a time when you will see which of your impulses from the imaginings at the time of the New Moon are truly viable. You are deadly serious about where you are headed right now, and so it is wise to remember to also incorporate a sense of play in what you are attempting. This gives you the opportunity to step back for perspective on what you are up to. You are constrained by necessity, but it needn't be dire. With the Full Moon a week later, taking place on Thursday, April 9th, comes the determination to succeed at all costs, together with surprising epiphany and more than coincidental successes that also enable your striving with renewed courage and optimism. Every time you become overly serious, as an antidote you might draw on your basic faith in the capability of the universe to sustain you, which is very present for you right now. The Last Quarter Moon of Friday, April 17th, brings these matters into sharper relief and gives you additional perspective on them. This is a remarkable juncture, when you see the goal very clearly and even the path to get you there, and when only your own thoughts of insufficiency can hold you back. These may be based on outmoded patterns of behavior from childhood that no longer serve any useful purpose for you in your maturity. These dark fantasies can haunt you until you face them squarely and accept them as parts of yourself, deserving of a place at your table. You are reevaluating nearly everything at this time, including the significant relationships in your life, seeing new ways they fit into the bigger picture of where you are headed. The New Moon of the last weekend of the month, taking pace on Friday, April 24th, presents you with a fresh start in this area, and helps you to integrate the lessons of the previous cycle.
