Let Your Mind Rule

Your taste for exotic dishes makes romance flourish in unfamiliar places this month. Planets are piling up in your 9th House of Foreign Cultures and Higher Education, heating you up in the company of those from different backgrounds or who are rich in intellectual power. In fact, a spirited debate could turn a difference of opinion into a dance of seduction. The line between fighting and flirting can be very thin; if you're attracted to someone, don't let an aggressive comment put you off -- it might just be an awkward joke. Enthusiasm can carry you too far on April 10, leading to a weekend when spending, loving, playing, eating or drinking too much is possible.

Take whatever feelings you have then and cut them in half for a more realistic assessment of your situation. The Sun, your ruling "planet," ambles into stable Taurus on the 19th, which may slow down your rush to romance. The burdens of work and family can get in the way of the fun you crave, yet it's going to take careful management of your time to make room for personal pleasure now. The Full Moon on April 20 stirs deep emotions as difficult memories from the past influence current feelings. Don't blame or accept blame from others; resentment is not the road to fulfillment. If you can't have a civil conversation, it's best to seek the counsel of a trusted individual who can broaden your perspective. If you're willing to be patient and responsible, almost any relationship can be repaired.
