Taurus Horoscope for April 2010
By Susan Miller
A work-related project seems to have come to a conclusion, and as you enter April, you may feel relieved that it is over. Take the first few days of April slow and easy. April will not be as busy as March turned out to be, so you can coast a little and enjoy life more. Saturn in Libra (a placement that Saturn took on October 29 last year) has added work to your shoulders, most likely because of cutbacks in personnel where you work.
This month, the pressure seems to be coming off a little while Saturn temporarily retrogrades back into Virgo. Good! You can take time to exhale!
Your home or real estate dilemma or plan may be on your mind too this month. Although Mars has been in your house of property / leases / renovations / home for months, during a large part of that time Mars has been retrograde. Now Mars will move at a much faster speed than he did from December through March, so you will get a better chance to see progress. You can now buy, sell, renovate, or make other home or family changes.
By next month, May, you will have an even MORE positive environment for seeing progress in these home-related matters. A quick-moving Mars is a more potent Mars. So even if you have been disappointed by your inability to get those changes in place, you will have a better chance to do so now. Redouble your efforts to see your goals realized in April and May. Again, we are talking about property, home, and family matters, and don't take the past as a guide - you will do better now. Be optimistic!
After Mars leaves your home / property sector on June 7, he will not return for two years. As you see, in two months you won't have the advantages you do now. You may get one more chance to achieve a dream real estate or family-related goal at the new moon in this part of your chart on August 9 (and in the two weeks following that new moon), so keep that date in mind. For now, while you have Mars helping you, it would be a great time to see if you can make things work in your favor now.
The new moon April 14 will fall in your solar twelfth house of secrets and solitude, so the second half of April would be best used to strategize and plan new initiations for the future. Wait to act, however, for you will need the new moon in Taurus May 13 to bring you the success you want.
On the other hand, for now, April will be just made for taking things easy. By not doing too much, and by not overloading your calendar, you will be able to see details that you may have missed before and come up with ideas that eluded you in the past. You will be more creative and playful now, and the ideas you develop by yourself will be golden.
The new moon April 14 will also give you the chance to end a bad habit once and for all. Think about it - do you REALLY want to bring that habit into your new birthday year? Of course not. In astrology, it's the date you initiate your actions that matters most, and this new moon will mark one of your best times of the year to work on ending or limiting self-defeating actions and behaviors.
Mercury is about to go retrograde in your sign of Taurus from April 18 onward, so even if you wanted to go ahead quickly you would not be able to so. Conditions will slow you down, so rather than try to struggle against delays, see this as a time to stop, look, and listen instead of trying to push forward.作者: 霸天虎 时间: 2010-4-3 00:10
A key relationship may become crystallized at the full moon, April 28, or you may change your mind about moving ahead, which would a decision in itself. You won't be able to put off a decision, but I don't think you will want to. Even so, it looks like whatever you decide now won't actually take effect until mid-to-late May (or even later), which would be ideal timing.
Full moons like the one that will come up April 28 are often emotional times, and it's possible that you may experience a flair-up. Try to keep the waters calm, realizing that if you are getting upset, there's a good chance your partner's emotions will escalate, too.
If you do have a disagreement or sense pressure at the full moon, a housing situation could be the crux of the problem, or it may be that a family member - most likely a parent - will make a comment about your choice of partner or lifestyle that you find upsetting. I say this because this full moon will be in hard angle to Mars in your home-and-family sector. If this happens, you'll need to find a quick solution, but fortunately, you can do so by being calm, respectful, and resourceful. Also, with Mercury retrograde, nothing will be written in stone, so if the solution you choose now proves to be not to your liking later, you can change things at that time. Be flexible.
This full moon might bring a decision to get engaged or married, or conversely, to get divorced. A full moon will always make things very clear and a full moon in a commitment house, as this one will be, will show you the direction the relationship has been taking for some time.
Single or attached, you have several wonderful days to look forward to when Venus will be in beautiful angle to Jupiter and Uranus. On the days Venus will be within range of Jupiter, April 16-18, you'll feel lucky and magnetic.
On the days when Venus will be in perfect angle to Uranus, you may experience good fortune out of the blue or even have a sudden and very electric meeting with someone new. For this, watch April 23 and 24. Remember though, that when any planet meets with Uranus, you can never quite tell what will happen, as Uranus rules unpredictable outcomes! It's what you least expect!
You are fortunate this month in that you will have Venus in Taurus for the first time this year from April 1 to 25. If you want to make a change to your looks, book your appointment with your stylist in the first week of this month, well ahead of the point that Mercury will be retrograde. I want to be absolutely sure you love what you have done! If you are a woman reader, this same period would be a good time to choose new makeup and skin care, too. Men and women alike might want to choose a beautiful new outfit to wear for the coming season.
Saturn will move back into your love-and-romance fifth house sector from April 7 to July 21 and may re-activate an old problem you never quite solved with your sweetheart when it first came up - now you will get a second chance. (If you have a child, the discussion might be with your teenage child instead.) If you had hoped the question would simply go away by itself, without your involvement, that doesn't seem likely. Go ahead, broach the subject again, but offer some new options.
Or, it may be that the person you care about and have been dating has to travel or work odd hours or be based in another city for a time, as Saturn often causes separations that can't be helped. If so, it's doubtful that this is a new situation - you seem to have coped with this in the past - so you will be ready to deal with it. Just know that once Saturn leaves Virgo on July 21, he will not be back to this sector until 2036.作者: 霸天虎 时间: 2010-4-3 00:11
I am only addressing those Taurus who have a situation that sounds like the one I described - an old question that seems to keep coming up or a frustration that your partner seems to be working and has to be away most of the time. Saturn will only look for a weak link if one exists - if one has not troubled you at all, you will sail through this phase without noticing the tiniest ripples.
Saturn will oppose Uranus on April 26, and this is a rare aspect. You felt this November 4, 2008, February 5 and September 15, 2009, and this year there will be two more meetings, April 26, 2010 and July 26, 2010. After the last opposition of Saturn and Uranus in July, you will be done, for these two planets will spin off and go their separate ways, not to return until 2056. This could bring tensions with a lover or even with a child, if you have had a stormy relationship in the past with one of your offspring.
With Mercury retrograde in Taurus, it's possible too that if you were involved with someone previously but broke up and miss that person, you may decide to get in touch again. Actually, this would be a good month to do so. If you love that person, it's always worth a try.
Your most romantic, magical time for love will occur from April 15 to 24, but you can also add: April 1, 5, 6, 9, 10, 11, 14-15 and 28 (the latter will be a wild card date, for things could go either way).
Be happy, dear Taurus. You are now nearing birthday time, which will be glorious, especially in May. If you are preoccupied in April, you have the prerogative to move your main birthday celebration to May if you want to! Although Mercury will be retrograde until May 13 next month, always a time of delays, changes, postponements, once you get to mid-to-late May you will come into your own. The new moon in Taurus next month will be just gorgeous for everyone, but doubly so for you! This new moon will be one of my favorites - one of the best of the year!
Summary
Your work life has been very demanding lately, so as April dawns, pay special attention to your health. Find ways to get more exercise and to enjoy small touches of luxury and rest as well.
Venus will move into Taurus from April 1-24, showering you with radiance. Use this lovely influence to update your look. Mercury will turn retrograde in Taurus too, from April 18 to May 11, so you'd be wise to reinvent your look sooner rather than later. A spa treatment or makeover done in early April would earn you many compliments.
Be careful of what you write or say about yourself in email, on social networks, and on Twitter due to Mercury retrograde. Mercury rules communication, but often during a retrograde period, we send messages we wish we had not, or upon reflection later, feel we could have handled differently. Once you hit the send button, you won't be able to take anything back. This month, you may be guilty of giving out too much information about yourself.
Romantically, Saturn will be back to your love sector, so if you or your sweetheart can't sync schedules due to travel, work, study, or other life interruptions, take it in stride. This temporary situation will improve by the end of July if you are single and dating. Uranus will oppose Saturn, to peak on April 26. Your relationship will be tested and you may feel some tension. If your love is real, you'll know it. Stay confident. A magnificent set of days for love and fun will come up April 17 and 23.
Venus will be in Taurus this month! That will be from April 1-24. It's your time to meet new people and improve your looks!
If you are in an established, long-term relationship, you'll have to make a decision about it within days of the full moon in Scorpio on April 28. This may be a joyous moment - you may accept (or give!) a marriage proposal or actually wed in time for your birthday! Or, in a business sense, you may seal an agreement with a partner, manager, or agent. Full moons sometimes bring on an emotional disagreement, however, so it may be best to avoid controversial topics or confrontations with your partner at month's end.作者: 霸天虎 时间: 2010-4-3 00:11
Dates to Note:
Venus will move into Taurus from April 1-24, showering you with allure. It's a great time to pay attention to your looks to improve them - do so as early in the month as possible for best luck. Your allure and magnetism will be high.
Saturn's re-visit to your love relationship sector will occur from April 7 to July 21. You may encounter obstacles to love or pregnancy. They are temporary - you are at the tail end of a very long and difficult trend. Keep your chin up and look forward to the time after July 21.
Pay more attention to health and needs of your body. This includes getting more exercise but also more rest and relaxation too, especially as April opens.
Uranus opposition Saturn on April 26 could bring serious relationship tension. Any issue that comes up near this date will need to be addressed, not ignored.
A housing or family situation may be adding stress to a basically sound romantic relationship at month's end. Talk things out. Don't sign anything while Mercury is retrograde, April 18 to May 11. Add a few days on the front and back end of these dates for safety.
In a relationship, decide about its future at the full moon, April 28, plus or minus four days. If you are happy, you may make a promise to your sweetheart / lover.
Your most romantic, magical time for love will occur from April 17 to 23, but you can also add: April 1, 5, 6, 9, 10, 11, 14-15, and 28 (wild card, could go either way).
