April 3 Birthday Horoscope

The Year Ahead

Forecast for April 2007 to April 2008

Your birthday falls just after a Full Moon this year, suggesting a period of communication and teaching. You may be turned to for advice more frequently, and you are very willing to offer your help. This is a strong year for publicity and any other endeavors that involve "spreading the word". As well, your ability to be objective--or to see the "big picture"--can be especially helpful this year.

Mercury, the planet of communication, aligns with Uranus around the time of your birthday this year. There are bound to be some surprises in store. Your thinking is more clever and original this year, and there may be unanticipated opportunities for travel or “armchair” travel, as well as new friendships. You are able to come up with original solutions to existing problems, as well as brand new ideas, more readily this year. Unusual, sudden, or eye-opening connections to younger people are likely to figure. With Mercury also square Jupiter, you are inclined to attach greater meaning to your experiences. A tendency to overstate, and to neglect important details when making plans, is strong. You may have so very many ideas that you end up implementing none! Again, opportunities for travel and/or new learning experiences abound with this influence. Mercury sextiles Venus, adding charm to your style of communication, and conjuncts the North Node, suggesting that this will be an intellectually stimulating year in which you can exchange ideas with others and meet people through mental pursuits.

Venus forms a sextile to Uranus in your Solar Return chart, bringing spontaneity into your personal relationships. This is a favorable influence for social meetings and events, and for situations that call for treating others with equality and respect. You may lose your fear of taking risks this year on a social level, and happily embrace all that is new, unusual, and out-of-the-ordinary with regards to romantic involvements as well as financial undertakings. This could be a good year for financial undertakings involving electronics, technology, the internet, metaphysics, and the arts, as well as group activities. You have a taste for the offbeat this year, and this energy can bring sudden or unexpected romance into your life, perhaps a scenario that feels like love at first sight. Childbirth is sometimes associated with this aspect.

However, Venus also forms tense angles to Saturn and Neptune, affecting either your finances or romantic relationships, and possibly both areas. Uncertainty in either of these areas is a theme, but this does not necessarily point to financial or romantic losses, by all means. It might point to, for example, a variable income that goes with the territory of self-employment, or a relationship that isn't quite as settled as you'd like it to be yet. Saturn asks you to be responsible, hard working, dutiful, and serious when it comes to finances and/or romantic relationships. Neptune, on the other hand, places a veil over your eyes, and seduces you into believing what you want to believe rather than what really is. You need to assess areas of your life that have become dysfunctional and, in the process, you may need to sacrifice a material benefit for a spiritual good (or vice versa). You are learning a valuable spiritual lesson that will help you to put your priorities in better perspective. This lesson may come in mysterious ways. Spiritual, artistic, or musical endeavors can provide a welcome relief. The final outcome will be a more serious and responsible attitude toward your own creativity and spiritual development.

The Sun forms a challenging aspect to Mars in your Solar Return chart. You feel a great need for action, but if you don't know where you're headed, you might take the wrong turn. As long as you channel the excess energy constructively, instead of wasting your time arguing or getting yourself into conflicts with others, you can accomplish much. Helping you along is a Sun-Saturn trine, which suggests that you have the power of practicality, realism, and caution on your side overall. Work you have done in the past begins to pay off this year--not necessarily in dramatic ways, but in small, measurable ways. You may be recognized or rewarded in some way for the efforts you put forth. Because you project a more responsible and credible “you”, people in authority are more inclined to appreciate you and recognize your work. This is a year in which you put your life in order in some significant manner. Improved concentration, a more realistic outlook, and a practical awareness of the limits of time all help you to make steady progress, particularly in your career. Your concern for your future this year is stronger than usual, and you may find that projects you start, or investments you make, this year will benefit you for years to come. The key to success this year is adopting a realistic, practical, disciplined, and orderly approach to your life.

Mars sextiles Pluto around the time of your birthday this year, stimulating your ambition in a pleasant manner. You are determined to meet or exceed your goals.

The key to success in the year ahead is the adoption of a realistic and practical approach to life, otherwise you will be banging your head against a wall. Wanting things too fast or pushing for too much will only leave you frustrated. Your romantic life is bound to be busy but perhaps complicated as you sort out the difference between reality and your ideals. Exciting new friendships are likely to figure.

2007 is a Number Seven year for you. Ruled by Neptune. This is a year of preparation, chance, and refinement. It is not a time of dramatic changes. Instead, it's a year when reflection on the past is helpful, and when refinements to your life path should be made. It's a good year to study and analyze. Unexpected twists to your life story and "chance" meetings are probable. Advice - take stock of your life in order to prepare for more exciting years to come, examine the past and plan for the future, get in touch with your deepest needs and uncover your personal power, don't strain yourself or actively try to expand.

2008 will be a Number Eight year for you. Ruled by Saturn. This is a year of power and accomplishment. Actively seeking to expand, taking educated risks, and moving forward are highlighted. This is a year of opportunity, particularly in the material and business world, and opportunities need to be seized. It's generally not a year to find a new love partner, simply because the focus is on the material world and your place in the world. This is a problem-solving year in which you can expect real, tangible results. Advice - take action, plan ahead, seize opportunities.
