Horoscopes:

Sizzle, don't fizzle

By Imhotep

The Stars stir up your adrenaline in April, my dear Rams as people born under the Cardinal Fire sign of Aries (21 Mar-21 Apr) are sometimes called. It is a great time to come and go with ease. You will go places in the weeks ahead. And even if you don't physically move, your mind will wander afar.

Keep that travel schedule open-ended and April will supply you with some astonishing and lovely surprises. Being loosey-goosey has its advantages, after all. Does this mean you are on the move? Maybe. But if you're after faster results, you might also be thinking of more immediate methods.

Is it any wonder that your competitive spirit is coming to the forefront? A game with a friend will lift up your spirits even further. Just make sure the competition stays friendly.

Brush up on your listening skills in April, because the Stars have a message for you. There is a specific destiny and a divine purpose that only you can fulfill. The path may not be clear, but keep putting one foot in front of the other.

How are things up there on cloud nine, my dear Bulls, as people born under the Fixed Earth sign of Taurus (22 Apr-22 May) are sometimes called? Imhotep predicts that this is a time of profuse outpouring of creative energies. Be willing to think and act a little controversially. Remember that fantasy and reality are snuggled right up next to each other right now, and that could make for some blissful moments towards the end of March and early April.

Enjoy it, but do be careful -- it is a long way to fall. Rest assured, however, the Stars are on your side, my dear Bulls. Spring, rebirth and fresh starts mean plenty of opportunity in your forecast. April starts with planets lining up to rejoice and celebrate new beginnings.

Sometimes there is just no good way to tell someone what you think about their relationship with you. This could be one of those times, diplomatic Bulls. Consider keeping your peace, and let them make their own mistakes. They will pay for their folly, not you.

Young, unattached Taurean women will be overcome by powerful passions and emotional yearnings especially around the middle of April. Spring is in the air, love and lust, too. Taurean women are especially vulnerable to the unsolicited attentions of dubious Don Juans. Beware of the man who speaks softly of love and marriage. Whatever you do my dear Taurean women, do not stroke strange dogs.

He or she who hesitates is lost, my dear Twins, as people born under the Mutable Air sign of Gemini (23 May-22 Jun) are sometimes called. You snooze, you lose. Making any kind of a move when it comes to romance is better than nothing now. Put yourself on the line a little. Move fast, stay strong.

The crisis you seemingly are suffering from right now, is simply another situation your outsized expectations have created. Be realistic, be positive. If you are feeling more fizzle than sizzle, it is about time you re-evaluate what prospects you have. Thank goodness you saw this now rather than later.

You cannot always make a relationship take the course that you want it to. Try relaxing your grip and see what happens. Toss aside outdated expectations, then take another serious and studied look.

No one likes feeling they are not listened to and those talking to you, might rightfully think you are less than completely present. Assure them that you are interested, just a little bit absent-minded at the moment.

Dream a little dream. Your subconscious is chock full of lessons of the heart that have not necessarily surfaced in your head yet.

Open yourself up to your own inner workings and learn some surprising stuff about yourself and your loved ones. Pay more attention to your inner workings. Know yourself, before you contemplate the nature of others. You may understand a few things about yourself, but there are far more levels of emotions to your personality. You are a fascinating person with more layers to yourself than you think.
