Mercury retraces its steps through your sign, and this could create some stop/starts, Aries. However, with the Sun aligning with the North Node on the 4th, Venus joining you on the 5th and the Solar Eclipse of the 8th, the chance to reignite your passions is plentiful. Later on in the month, everyday finances come into focus, but an uptick can occur as the month comes to a close.

Early in the month, you could find yourself doing a lot of soul searching, and particularly about the people you spend time closely with. Some friendships and associations can make way, and this might prove painful. And yet all of this helps to clear the way for newer beginnings, which will become more obvious from the 19th. Someone influential may resist some goals you set, however.

A lot is likely to unfold around your future plans. Some may seem stuck, which can be frustrating, but ironically this could help you to clear the way, and your thinking for the strands that are going to become more important. The connections you have personally could also prove telling professionally too. Revelations at the end of the month might be powerful. Care will be needed around contracts and legal matters.

Everyone's goals and ambitions can vary. But whatever yours are, April and Mercury's Retrograde may help you to define them more clearly. The next six months could see your profile and responsibilities increase. Yet if you want to achieve more recognition, this is all part of the process. More social opportunities present themselves later in the month, yet it might prove hard to please everyone.

Change is in the air, and it will give you a big buzz of anticipation. If you've felt wary in the past of being more experimental or adventurous, now these very things can really captivate you. Just ensure that all communications are crisp, clear and precise. These new approaches may also apply to your worldly interactions, even work, as the month draws to a close.

Your connections to others are strongly emphasized this month. This may be at work, in business or personally, and you'll find yourself using your keen analytic skills to observe the nuances. If you see a lack of commitment, it might get you thinking about breaking free, and travel or a holiday at the end of the month could also be part of this.

Your gift for relating is the stuff of astral lore. But with Mercury Retrograde in this part of your Solar Chart, sharpening up your listening skills will be essential to avoid crossed wires. But then conversely, someone new can enter your life, professionally, socially or personally, who could prove to be very influential. All this will unfold more obviously over the next six months.

Any appointments, meetings or details will need to be carefully managed. If you can make some small but important improvements to your diet, nutrition, exercise or routines, it could prove to be really beneficial. Later in the month, a spark is possible with someone new. However, a family member might seem judgemental or unimpressed.

Socially, things can be brighter this month, but there may still be some sudden changes of plan. Try to take these in your stride. The Solar Eclipse gives you a wonderful opportunity to showcase your talents over the next six months, but in so doing, also bring in the things you've learned from Saturn and Neptune's journey through your sector of feelings.

Sensitive, emotional and family strands are all to the fore this April, Capricorn. You may even be making changes to where you live, or who with and how. Glitches are possible with home improvements, but it's a process, and you will make progress as the year goes on. A chance to be more sociable presents itself later in the month.

The pace of life can be hectic this month Aquarius, and although you could be frazzled at times, chances are you'll enjoy all the extra interactions that are in store. With Mercury in Retrograde for twenty three days, be mindful of exchanges. If you rush anything key, it could cause issues. Home changes you've long yearned for could come around the 19th onwards.

If you're buying or selling anything on line, be watchful. Owed money? Be persistent to get what's rightfully yours. The next six months can see an improvement in your finances however, and a hint of what's to come will show itself from the 5th. Don't underestimate the brilliance of your ideas, especially from the 21st, when Mars in your sign gives you a fab chance to enthuse people, as he links to Jupiter and Uranus.
