You have now arrived at the most important month of the year to make major career gains. If you've been aching to get a new, more responsible position, you must jump on opportunities that arrive just after April 5, the new moon in your house of fame and honors. With a crown of stars twinkling at the very top of your horoscope, you should have no trouble convincing higher-ups that you're the one they should choose over other candidates.

That new moon will be in hard angle to Mars, suggesting that you will find yourself in a competitive or even a political situation, with everyone jockeying for the top spot. This is most likely because the job in question would be a juicy one. You've never been one to be deterred by competition, so barrel forward. Keep faithful to your plan - VIPs will be impressed with your cool demeanor and substantial accomplishments.

If you are self-employed, this trend will apply to you too - go after the prestigious client and don't be fazed if your competitors are doing the same. You have the cosmos on your side.

After weeks of concentrating hard on your job search (or campaign for promotion) you'll want to have fun and relax. The full moon April 20 will be your friend by bringing you one of the year's most tender moments. Falling in your house of true love (the only time in 2008), this full moon will work beautifully with Saturn and Pluto, usually the zodiac's bad boys, but this time both will be on their best behavior. Other planets - Jupiter and Uranus - will also lend a hand, making for a truly superb full moon for romance. Expect lots of upbeat surprises, but also the sharing of some wonderfully warm and intimate moments that will linger in your heart a very long time.

This full moon on April 20 will allow you to move your relationship closer and up to the next level. With the full moon in Scorpio you will find love to be all you want it to be - intense, private, and very sexy. If you're single and not dating, you could meet a gorgeous someone you'll like to know better.

Are you attached? With good fortune planet Jupiter still sending spontaneous Uranus a friendly vibe in your 9th house of travel, you may decide to hop a plane and take a quick trip to the opposite coast, or even to a foreign country. A cruise would be another great idea. Check into bargains - you might pick up a couple of tickets for an elegant and spacious cabin on the ship at bargain prices, right at the last minute. Surprise keeps a relationship spicy, so let go, be spontaneous, and have a little fun.

If you do travel, consider going away from April 19 to 29, days that will bring on a number of fine aspects. Go with a sweetheart or with friends. Either way you'd have a great time.

Finally, if you don't travel and don't have someone special yet, the last week of April will be just made for enjoying the camaraderie of friends, thanks to Mercury, the Chatty Cathy of the solar system. Mercury will reach out to Uranus, Jupiter, and Mars. Enjoy yourself to the fullest from April 25 through April 30.
