Surround Yourself with Brilliance

With planets firing through your 3rd House of Communication for much of the month, this is a great time to make new contacts. Pick up the phone, send a letter, an email or just go for a face-to-face meeting that could push your career into a higher gear. There's a small window of opportunity to get a fresh idea off the ground. If you have your own business, try launching a product or service, or start an ad campaign. The 3rd house influences learning, so taking a class is another way to pack more punch into your career. Aquarius, you're probably too smart for what you're doing now and the astrological patterns of April are only going to fuel your appetite for mental stimulation.

If you don't have a chance to feed your fertile mind on the job, seek additional sources of intellectual amusement elsewhere. You need bright people to maintain your attention and are likely to lack patience with cerebral speed bumps who have no interest in the cutting-edge concepts you love. The Sun enters Taurus and your domestic 4th house on April 19, followed by a passionate Full Moon in your 10th House of Career the next day. This can be a pressure-packed time when you might be tempted to hide under the covers. However, even though passionate feelings can drive you to extreme reactions with an authority figure, it's better to take over than to get run over at work during the week of April 21
