Be Savvy and Selective

Relationship issues are always important to you, but they are especially dynamic this month. April starts with the willful Sun in your 7th House of Partnerships. This represents the spirit of an exciting individual who can make your personal life more interesting. Yet it can also tell the tale of a selfish person who is unwilling to respond generously to your needs. Well, Leeb, it's time for you to take charge in matters of the heart. If you have a main squeeze, be a leader now since you need new stimulation to liven things up. If you're single, this is a great time to boldly step forward and make the first move.

It's more important to act directly than to play it safe this month. Venus, your ruling planet and the astrological symbol of love, enters fiery Aries and your 7th house on April 5 to spice up your personal life. Venus crosses paths with insatiable Pluto on the 6th, which can bring disappointment to the surface. Still, if you're not happy with what you've got, you'll have a clearer sense of what you need to make you happy. The fast pace of interactions with others changes on April 19 when the Sun enters steady Taurus and your 8th House of Intimacy. You're ready to go deeper, seeking more from your current partner or stubbornly not settling for less with a potential new one. This isn't about playing hard to get, but it is important that you're treated like gold if you're going to open yourself up to take this connection to the next level.
