Gemini Horoscope for April 2008

You seem to have been coping with an unusual career situation that arose in February or March. The event came up suddenly and you either found it to be highly exciting or emotionally wrenching - events seem to have fallen on either extreme end of the emotional spectrum. For sure, with Uranus so active at that time, it was not likely to have been business as usual. Things were shocking, unusual, or stimulating - but not dull.

Still, Jupiter is standing in a place to protect you, and events will benefit you over the long run. Keep that thought in your mind. Looking at your chart, it appears that most of your time has been focused on making necessary adjustments at work and at home. Indeed, your home life has also been showing shifts, so you've really had your hands full. You may feel a bit over-stimulated as you begin April.

What you need most in the coming month is a little carefree fun, and happily, this is what the universe has cooked up for you. I am so happy to have this news for you!

Friends will play a big role in your life now and you will see more of them more often than usual. They will go out of their way to see that you are treated well in April, dear Gemini. You appear to have generated quite a bit of good will among the circle of people around you and now it is your turn to be on the receiving end of their good graces. The only way to feel this good energy is to literally be out and about, showing your face to the world. Have faith that all good things will happen - I simply have to get you out the door!

Your friends will want to include you in all their activities, so expect a lot of phone calls and emails from lots of people you've not linked up with in a while. If your career life is demanding - and it appears that it is - you'll have to juggle your schedule to fit in your blossoming social agenda. That won't necessarily be easy. You may be wondering how ANY socializing will be possible considering all you have to do, both at home and at work. All I can say is: Getting out and seeing friends will be good for you.

You should also make an effort to make a new friend or two. Opportunities to meet and greet new acquaintances will come up, so be the first to extend a friendly invitation for lunch. By associating with a few new people, you will open yourself up to new activities, ideas, and interests, and these new people will make introductions for you, too.

This trend of all this increased mixing and mingling more will arise on April 5, the new moon in your 11th house of people, places, and events. You may be attending a conference this month, and if so, it's bound to be helpful, more so than you might anticipate. Not only will the information be solid and up-to-date, but also the networking there should be superb. Be sure you bring plenty of business cards. If the trade show or other industry event occurs between April 5 and 19, you must agree to go!

Indeed, your professional progress will come down to having the right connections and introductions. Rather than work the formal way - by writing your own letters and proposals in your office late into the night, or by scheduling new face-to-face cold calls and interviews - you will get farther this month by socializing with high-level people in a more casual, relaxed setting. You may do this at cocktail parties, industry events, and seminars. If you are asked to speak on a panel or judge a contest, agree to do it. Go to lunches and dinners, and arrange to have a glass of wine after work.

If you were born on June 6, you will benefit most from this new moon on April 5, and by that I mean you should see tangible results from actions you take, especially in the first week of that moon, April 5-13.

This same house, the 11th house, rules hopes and wishes, so you may now get a chance to see a long-term dream materialize. Your dream may be material ("I need to find the money to launch a business") or spiritual ("I hope to find love"). Either way, rarely have you been better positioned to make your dream come true.

Of course, you can't quite barricade yourself inside and hope that all this will happen by itself. It MIGHT, but why chance it? The way astrology works best is by reaching out to the world and setting events in motion. If you have been working toward a dream for a while, this would be a great month to see encouraging signs that it's taking root.

Do you feel you haven't been assertive enough about getting your dream out there? That's OK - you will have another chance to do so now. Send out that important query or arrange that big meeting on or in the days that quickly follow April 5.

Here's a wonderful career day to circle in red: April 22. Mars will be sweetly angled to Uranus then, a time when you may get a flash of luck, perhaps by being at the right place at the right time. Money and publicity or the opportunity to interview for (and eventually land) a top position could come up very quickly. You'll have to be decisive and go for it almost instantly, but you're agile by nature, so I know you will be able to turn on a dime.

Looking ahead to next month, you may want to know that Neptune governs your solar 10th house of career honors, awards, and achievement. However, Neptune will retrograde from May 26 to November 2, so during that phase it would be wise to concentrate on what is already on your plate rather than reach out to new clients, prospective employers, and opportunities. While you have everything going for you in April, make those calls! Remember, this month you'll get help from friends, which adds a little element of luck and what makes this a standout month.

As you get closer to the full moon, April 20, it will be time to take stock of your health. If any part of your body has brought you pesky problems, it's time to stop, call a specialist, and go in for a diagnosis. If you have already been diagnosed, and if you have been taking treatments, that series of treatment is likely to finish or change in some way. It's actually a very good time to get health matters settled, and hopefully you'll feel good about the direction your doctor suggests. This same full moon can be used to attend to dental matters.

If you have been feeling fine, you may decide to finally join a gym to get more exercise, or if you have been doing that too, you may see a breakthrough at this time. After all, full moons do bring things to a crest!

At the same time, the full moon will bring a work project to fullness or you may be able to hire an assistant or other subordinate / helper, at work or at home. Alternatively, you may complete a big assignment now and ship it out the door, or be given the green light to start one. You may also decide to buy new software or a computer, a great time to do so, especially since Mercury will be retrograde in late May through most of June (not a time to buy). The 6th house, where this full moon will fall, rules the tools and methods you use to approach your work, as well as your overall work atmosphere. This is where your attention will be drawn on or near April 20, aside from focusing on your health, too. Keep in mind that all full moons have a plus or minus of four days of influence.

Mercury, your ruler, will be unusually active in April, chatting up a storm with some of the other planets. Oddly, Mercury will be in a bad mood in the first part of the month - Mercury will tangle with both Pluto (April 3) and Mars (April 10). Harsh words might be exchanged, perhaps spontaneously and unnecessarily. You seem to be in a frustrated, brash mood and more likely to fly off the handle. Those dates would NOT be ones to choose to sign any important documents nor have any key interviews or presentations planned.

Later, on April 14, when Mercury partners with Neptune, ideas will spout like wild flowers - everywhere! Use this day for any creative or artistic project, but not necessarily for signing papers.

Sunday, April 27 will be superb for generating ideas and for overall brainstorming, for Mercury will blend beautifully with Uranus. Innovative solutions should result and any financial talks should go incredibly well.

Finally, my favorite day of the month for you, and possibly of the season, will be Monday, April 28, when Mercury will be in perfect angle to Jupiter, planet of financial good fortune and luck. What a gold star day! Use it for building or signing any kind of important final agreement, to travel for any purpose, or for holding any type of meeting, audition, performance, or presentation. What a golden day! News or developments concerning your profession and compensation should make you feel very happy.

Financially, as you see, you will have several days where moneymaking opportunities will be strong, especially on April 22, 27, and 28. This has to be good news, because you seem to be worried about money. Rarely have you ever seen expenses climb to such epic levels as you have lately, since October. Not to worry. Your expenses should simmer down by May 9, once Mars moves into Leo. In the meantime, hold the line on spending as best you can, particularly because the economy may grow tighter.

Romantically, with Venus sparkling in your house of fun and friendship from April 6 to 30, you'll be in rare form. The only drawback to all this socializing will be a possible concern about money. As said, things ARE a little tight, but there will be bright spots on the horizon in the last third of the month, for sure. Friends are the most likely matchmakers - better than online results.

Travel seems linked to romance, too. With Mercury, the travel planet (and your ruler), in such fine form at month's end - contacting Uranus, Jupiter, and Mars - from April 26 through April 29, consider taking a couple of vacation days to enjoy fresh air and sunshine. (FYI: If you can't take a vacation this month, then see if you can take a business trip, for with financially fortunate Jupiter in such fine form in the last third of the month, you'd certainly come back with the order!)

Best romantic nights: April 1, 5-6, 9, 13, 18-19, 22, and 26-29. (The last three dates are best!)

Summary

You also seem ready to expand your social base, a good idea, for the new moon on April 5 will encourage you to come out of hibernation to meet and greet new faces. If you've been considering the idea of joining an organization - a charity or club - do so at this new moon, for it will be one of your best times of the year to do so.

You may be a little worried about the cost of all this socializing, so you may have to watch your budget. You've had high expenses for months and April continues this trend. You won't want to spend more than you can afford now, not with the strain you've been under for so long. Looking ahead, by mid-May your expenses will calm down.

Still, good fortune Jupiter will be in ideal angle to surprise-a-minute Uranus this month, indicating that financial luck will be on your side. If you have done your homework, go right ahead and launch entrepreneurial ideas. You're ready, and it appears the market is, too. Your services are about to be strongly prized - just how much so may surprise you.

You may be finishing up a lucrative assignment at the time of the full moon, April 20. This will be a glorious time of the month, when Saturn, Pluto, the Sun, and your ruling planet, Mercury, will all be in perfect sync. You would have plenty to be proud of, and praise from a high level person should be the icing on the cake.

If you don't finish up a project, you may be given the green light to begin one. After weeks of meetings and presentations you'll be energetic and eager to get going, and quite flattered to receive such a vote of confidence from VIPs.

A medical or dental health matter may also be on the agenda. If you like, this would be a good time to get a diagnosis if you have had a health concern. If you have been going through physical therapy or special treatments, you may be finishing them up at this time.

One very special day that you may want to circle on your calendar will be Tuesday, April 22, when Mars and Uranus will blend in supreme harmony. There's a really high probability that you will get unexpectedly good news about your salary or if self-employed, about an assignment or extra business.

Two other fine days for excellent career and money news are April 27 and 28.

Romantically, lucky you, Venus will be churning up your social sector from April 6 to 30 . You won't lack reasons to go out and party! Travel could easily come up spontaneously and if so, grab your suitcase and go!
