By Maeri Frances April 2020 horoscopes

Where’s the good news? With Saturn, Pluto and Mars playing it out, and Jupiter soon to add expansion and enablement to the mix, unfortunately it seems that the ride isn’t over yet. But, just to put things into perspective, humanity has been down this road before. Tough, yes, but it has come through, bruised, battered and wiser, ready to do a major overhaul on systems and habits that have long outworn their usefulness. The sun will break through the clouds so check out your April 2020 horoscopes.

P.S. Don’t forget to read your rising sign as well if you know it.

Happy Birthday, Aries!
Opt out of the rumor mill

Tempting thought it may be to do otherwise, you need to keep your communication above board and transparent. No matter how innocent your conversations may be, people are not likely to see it that way this month. Mars and Saturn entering your 11^th house, joined by Jupiter, may indicate a need to be more diplomatic rather than trying to call the shots.

Taurus: Listen to your inner voice!

As an Earth sign, you are probably quite resilient when it comes to staying on track, but with Uranus springing all sorts of surprises in your sign, you may feel pushed to the limit some days. You need to draw on your inner strength and philosophy as the month gets under way. Stay calm around the 7^th, and keep your ear to the ground for stuff going on behind the scenes.

Gemini: Hang in there, things can only get better.

Skilled as you are, you may feel that you are trying to juggle too many balls in the air at once. Confusion in career matters plays off against financial concerns, while friends seem to be acting in an unpredictable way when you least expect it. Look for some respite around the 21^st, touch base with friends and loved ones, even if it is online or at a distance.

Cancer: There’s no getting off the merry-go-round.

It could be hard to convince someone close to you that you need space to focus on your career. If you feel you are being pulled in several directions at once, try to steal a few minutes for yourself to find inner calm and prioritize. Relationships could be tense or drain you, stay positive and be realistic.

Leo: Connect with your significant other.

Intimacy is tough to manage these days, and close relationships will inevitably suffer. Warm- hearted spontaneous Leo will find this hard to handle. It will be important to find a way to stay emotionally connected even when circumstances seem to be creating obstacles, left, right and center. Cooperation and consideration will count for a lot.

Virgo: Don’t panic!

OK, don’t try denying it. You can be the world’s worst hypochondriac at times. And this is one of them. But wake up to it. The more you stress and worry, the worse things will be. Stay healthy and safe by maintaining your routine as efficiently as possible under the circumstances. Saturn is now in your 6^th house of work, duties and wellbeing, and he calls for commonsense and a responsible attitude.

Libra: So, what happened to all the good times?

Sociable, creative and sometimes love-fixated creature that you are, these days seem to be soul-crippling. The challenge for you lies in maintaining your friendships, sense of humor and equilibrium in a sort of a void. Saturn’s transit through your 5^th house will create a new awareness of your responsibilities and priorities with kids, pets and self-expression. Not fun at times, but part of the new reality.

Scorpio: Family first.

With Saturn and Mars taking up position in your solar 4^th house, ruling family and the home, it seems that this will be the focus during April. You need to be practical and patient, as situations could test you to the utmost at times and responsibilities will pile up.  Your most productive days are likely to be the 7^th, 8^th and 10^th of April.

Sagittarius: Choose your words wisely.

Sometimes it is not so much what you say, but how you say it. Feelings are fragile these days, and you need to avoid being seen as callous or judgmental. Use your insight to offer practical suggestions and sound advice, even though you may be frustrated by circumstances limiting your movement and communication. A roamer by nature, you love your freedom!

Capricorn: Where did all the money go?

April seems to be more of what March delivered, in spades. But you, Capricorn, are probably the best equipped to handle what comes your way. Frugal to a fault at times, you can exercise self-discipline to an almost scary degree, and create amazing meals out of next to nothing. Use home time to initiate creative projects with the family.

Aquarius: Why, why, why?

With some tough calls to make, and little things irritating you beyond belief, your generally accepting nature is under pressure. You have an innate ability to see the big picture, and are altruistic enough to see what works best for the community on a larger scale, and this will be an attribute to nurture as April draws on. It is time to refine and reduce, cut unnecessary stuff out of your life.

Pisces: Let’s pretend …

More than most people, you have a fertile imagination and the ability to create your own version of events. So, when things are too unpleasant for you to accept, you may be tempted to ignore the facts and relegate them to your ‘sort out later’ box. This might provide short term comfort, but sooner or later you will need to address things. Your passion for helping out can inspire others, even in tough times. You can shine this month.
