This is one of those on-and-off, indecisive, chocolate-versus-vanilla months where things move slowly and in stark contrast. Next, see Susan Miller's full Sagittarius horoscope for April 2017. Susan Miller's Sagittarius Horoscope for April 2017 text This is one of those on-and-off, indecisive, chocolate-versus-vanilla months where things move slowly and in stark contrast. One moment you feel like the project might be derailed, and other moments you feel like everything is finally figured out. This trend will be felt by all signs, and it's enough to drive us all crazy. You must be content with incremental progress rather than giant leaps toward your goal, but this is only a temporary situation. At the same time, moving more slowly can be a blessing because it allows you to make progress more easily, rather than rushing into something and wishing later that you had done it differently. You will move more cautiously and carefully, thinking carefully about each project, and in April, this means success.
First, as the month begins, Venus is still in retrograde, from March 5th to April 15th, but it will take some time until May 18th to return to full strength. Meanwhile, don’t plan any major changes to your appearance before at least April 15: don’t get a nose or facial surgery, don’t try skin treatments, and don’t make drastic changes to your hairstyle or color unless you need new glasses or change their frames. (If you really need to, then definitely change it.) You can make changes to your routine, keep it shorter, touch up the color, be sure to use your usual moisturizer and serum, and use tried and effective at-home facial products. Girls, wait until May to buy new makeup. Hold off on buying those designer sunglasses until May, guys.
Venus rules love, beauty, and all the luxuries and pleasures in life: precious jewelry, perfumes, flowers, wine and champagne, imported chocolates, extravagant parties, you get the idea. While Venus is getting her beauty sleep, she will be pulling back on her power, so these areas should be avoided now. This is definitely not the time to throw an expensive party or charity benefit (donations are likely to be minimal) or to launch new products or services related to women. Venus also rules profits, especially for businesses that target the female market. Venus also rules love, so if you are single this is not a good time to meet someone new, because as the relationship unfolds you are more likely to lack emotional support and love in the relationship. Venus is moving through your home sector, so if you are focused on a design project, it would be best not to buy new furniture or mattresses before May. The more money you are prepared to spend on these things, the more I would remind you to wait, preferably until after May 18th.
I have to tell you another piece of bad news: Mercury will also be retrograde from April 9th to May 3rd. It was as if the entire universe was saying, stop, slow down, listen, and think. There is no need to move forward quickly this month, but there is a particular need to think deeply about various relationships and endeavors, and to review some stray ideas. Mercury is the ruler of your career house, which rules your tenth house of honors, rewards, and achievements. Mercury will spend half of its retrograde period in your daily work sector, and you will need to make sure there are no mistakes in your work. Also be prepared that the client may want to change direction.
You might call an executive you know, someone you worked with in the past but haven't spoken to in months or years. This is an especially good application of Mercury retrograde. If you are a salesperson, you should visit your long-term customers who have always trusted and supported you but whom you haven't seen for a long time to thank them. If you are trying to sign a new deal, details may arise that hold you back and you will need to work hard to understand them. When Mercury is retrograde, we tend to forget things, whether it's the details of an agreement or a favorite item like your cell phone, headphones, sunglasses or tablet. You may have to stick your business cards on electronic gadgets and put them in your eyeglass case. Can't be more careful. If a good person finds your things, don't cause trouble for them. Make it easy for them to contact you and don't make them have to guess your password.
Which reminds me, don’t buy any electronics this month. Wait until mid-May, when you'll be happier with your purchases. Mercury rules the moving parts of machines and also electrical appliances, including cars. Buy it in May, the further away from May 3rd the better. Mercury will resume direct motion on May 20. |
