Beware Lightening-Quick Connections

Planets are dancing through your 3rd House of Communication at the beginning of the month, which should get you talking faster and more freely to facilitate quick connections with new people. This part of your chart is also associated with short trips, so that an outing around town can lead to a sweet interaction with a total stranger. There's no reason to take any of this too seriously, though, since circumstances are better suited for short-term fun than long-term commitment. If you're in a relationship already, try to shake it up a bit with fresh ideas and activities to keep things from growing stale. Boredom can lead to snarky speech that undermines trust and tenderness.

Settling in looks more attractive when the Sun enters steady Taurus on April 19. But as much as you might seek the comfort of familiar faces and places, you can't stop yourself from hankering for more. A high-energy hookup between active Mars and your inventive ruling planet Uranus on April 22 puts you in an adventurous mood. Attraction to a dangerous person probably won't feel risky, so balance your taste for the unusual with a little bit of caution. A tendency to go too far too fast is possible over the next few days. Big promises may fall short of your expectations. You may spend too much, overestimate someone or lose your sense of judgment. Stretching your personal limits with someone is understandable, but have a backup plan in case you put yourself in an awkward situation.
