Stay on Your Feet

Your sign is known for being peaceful and cooperative, but you might want to put on your gear and get ready to rumble early this month. The willful Aries Sun, mental Mercury and your lovely ruling planet Venus occupy your 7th House of Competition. This can be very beneficial professionally, if you're willing to push yourself to the head of the line. Bringing a new idea to the public is another positive way to express this dynamic pattern. The New Moon falling in this house on April 5 underscores the importance of having energetic allies. If your colleagues lazily want to do as little as possible, they will definitely hold you back now. In fact, if you rush in to rescue them by carrying more than your fair share of the load, you're more likely to be resented than appreciated for it.

This is a time, Libra, when putting yourself first is the way to go. Don't think of this as trying to beat other people, but as a chance to test yourself by increasing your commitment to getting ahead. If, on the other hand, you'd prefer to while away the workdays by standing still, you will miss a major opportunity to advance your interests. Besides, trying to tread water now likely won't work. The pressure's going to come one way or another. An aggressive colleague, impatient boss or abusive customer is waiting to push your buttons. But when you decide to drive the action, things tend to go your way, even taking you to new places a more passive approach would never get you.
