April 2018 Horoscopes: What the Stars Have in Store for Your Love Life and Career

The Good: Chiron is moving into your sign on the 17th. From now until 2026, you have the chance to create the identity you have always craved; a sense of inner/outer harmony will allow you to show your true face to the world without fear.

The Challenging: Your erratic nature may cause stress and problems at the office. Repressed anger and resentment towards colleagues could cause you to lose your cool – and your reputation.

The Takeaway: Work on finding peace by listening to your inner voice, instead of blasting your harshest feelings to those around you.

The Good: Broaden your horizons and hit the road of adventure! The weekends of the 7th and 29th are excellent times to travel to recharge your batteries and find romance.

The Challenging: You may feel isolated and brooding during first half of the month. Try not to let your solipsistic emotions make you lose sight of all the splendors the world has to offer.

The Takeaway: If you have your eye on someone from a foreign country or different cultural background, the language of love will break down the borders of inhibition. The best date nights are the 1st, 7th, 11th, 18th, 26th and 29th.

The Good: If you feel you have been stuck on a merry-go-round of flakey, irresponsible friendships since the turn of the decade, the next eight years will be about healing old wounds so you can attract the deep, nourishing social contacts you deserve.

The Challenging: While your current social playmates could be a lot of fun, are they really worth the drain on your bank account – especially if you are the only one who ever picks up the tab?

The Takeaway: Stop allowing friends to deplete your emotional and financial resources.

The Good: Make sure to schedule time for friends this month, and, if you are in a couple, no need to leave the significant other at home. Warmth, bonding and a sense of community can be forged, especially during the first and last weekends of the month.

The Challenging: After several years of chasing rainbows in your career, you need to take a cold, hard look at what you can do that will pan out and provide security, as well as meaning.

The Takeaway: Spend the month working for the weekend.

The Good: You can easily charm your way up the ladder if you have any workplace dreams. Make pitches and proposals on the 7th, 11th, and 29th.

The Challenging: Health worries and a pile-up of chores could be bringing you down. Traveling to get away from it all will only add to your stress. These concerns will become less worrisome next month.

The Takeaway: If you put your mind on your work, you will be able to forget your other troubles.

The Good: The financial uncertainty of the past few years may have also been affecting your ability to grow close and intimate with a romantic partner. Once Chiron enters your sector of sharing and savings, you will be able to learn to trust others, as well as feel more monetarily grounded.

The Challenging: Do not make any major decision regarding investments, loans or mortgages while Mercury is retrograde until the 15th, as you may not be getting the full picture.

The Takeaway: If you never open yourself to true love, you will only continue to attract strange bedfellows.

The Good: Your romantic life may have been all over the dial for a long time, or, perhaps, your erratic partner kept you in a state of anxiety and uncertainty. With Chiron entering your zone of true love for the better part of the next decade, you can attract a partner who heals old wounds and brings a sense of decency and consistency to your world.

The Challenging: Your lover and your family continue to be at odds, and you may feel you can never achieve a home filled with peace and calm, as long as your partner keeps acting up.

The Takeaway: If your significant other has kept you walking on eggshells, its time to seek out a partner who is a good egg.

The Good: You haven't been up for talking much since the end of last year, but, luckily, this month abounds with opportunities for you and your romantic partner to draw close through open, supportive communication.

The Challenging: Communications with your colleagues, however, are another matter. You will have the tendency to swing from the silent treatment to unleashed verbal anger to those you work with, triggered by their perceived incompetence and irresponsibility.

The Takeaway: Learn to open up to your lover and keep a lid on it with your co-workers.

The Good: With Chiron moving into your 5th house, the next decade brings you many chances to rebuild bonds with estranged children, attract more authentic romantic partners into your life, and express your true inner feelings through art.

The Challenging: Slim financial earnings could keep you from lavishing your lover and offspring with all they desire. In return, they may pout, plead and kick up a storm.

The Takeaway: No matter how many buttons your loved ones push, if the cash register is empty, it just won't work.

The Good: Chiron is moving into your sector of domestic bliss, and after many years of upheaval and rootlessness, you will finally be able to build the home life you have always dreamed of over the next decade.

The Challenging: While Chiron is promising considerable improvement in your living conditions, change cannot come soon enough for you. You may feel stifled and frustrated that you cannot have perfection right away.

The Takeaway: Rome wasn't built in a day, and neither can your ideal home.

The Good: After several tongue-tied years, Chiron will be entering your communications zone mid-month, helping you to effectively communicate with those around you with authenticity and command.

The Challenging: Seething feelings of inadequacy could morph into full-out rage and resentment, causing you to lash out at your targets. Learn to keep your negative emotions in check, or you risk alienating others.

The Takeaway: Use your energy into bettering yourself, instead of tearing others down.

The Good: It's time to get real about money. While you have made many strides in your career over the past few years, you now need to focus on work that will pay the bills and provide a firm foundation. Chiron's entry into your money house will help you do just that over the next decade.

The Challenging: You may feel frustrated that your efforts at friendship seem to close more doors than they open. Perhaps fewer, yet better, is a good route to go.

The Takeaway: It's time to eliminate friends that hold you back and bring you down.
