Venus, the planet of love and attraction, spends the first 20 days of April in your 7th House of Partnership. This is a very positive transit as it helps you to see the best in others and tends to draw kinder people into your life. A key to taking advantage of this period is to be as gentle and understanding as you can. It's smart to soften up and allow others in than to let overly critical thinking screen out potential partners or put a chill into your current alliance.

Your ruling planet Mercury is retrograde until April 23. This backward period is one in which you may have to rethink issues and change your mind more than you'd like. It is better, though, to humbly make corrections to your earlier judgments than to be so insecure that you'll continue fighting for an idea whose time has passed. This is likely to be less of an issue when the Sun leaves impulsive Aries and your 8th House of Deep Sharing and enters earthy Taurus on April 20. The sparks that are flying until then can excite and anger you but at least you won't be bored.
