Saturn
Retrograde Saturn and Mercury are the Spring-Cleaners of the Heavens, ‘sweeping' away old relationships and reconnecting friendships, during April and May, says Tristan Morell.
ARIES:
April sees you starting a new romance and making friends.  Empowering Saturn returns to Virgo on the 7th, lifting worries off your shoulders; but with Mercury retrograde from the 17th, annoying communication problems can surface.  The sun in Taurus on the 20th highlights money issues, but these two months are likely to be more focused on love than anything else due to the wiles of Venus.  Just lap it up!

TAURUS:
Be prepared for soap opera style reunions as people from the past make reappearances.  May will be a month of making the house more of a home and planning new projects.  It looks like a calmer and more exciting period for most Taureans, especially in your birthday month of May.  There is a particularly good financial aspect on the 20th as the sun moves into Gemini.  Retail therapy time!

GEMINI:
Long lost loves are likely to reappear in the month of April, so take good care of yourself.  As you get healthier and fitter you'll be ready for the amazing changes in store for most of you in the coming months.  Venus in your sign after the 25th brings a few social interactions, shopping and lots of flirting - which you love!  After May 4th, start planning ahead in time for Summer's fun.

CANCER:
Saturn retrogrades back into Virgo on April 7th and brings out the Good Samaritan in you.  You are going to want to do good works and help people more than ever.  Mercury retrograde between April 17th and May 11th signals delays and communication problems as ever but this time it also brings transformation.  After the 18th everything improves, and the Sun's entry into Taurus on the 19th allows you to re-focus on long-term goals again.

LEO:
After April 3rd you'll find yourself very much in demand (again!) and feeling sexy!  This is a month to be careful about whom you mix with to avoid having your energy drained by too much socialising.  You have much to give - don't waste it.  May is great for work and business; you'll find yourself making headway after the 4th.  From the 23rd financial obstacles will clear.  Venus enters Cancer on the 19th and you may find that the past has not been left behind after all!

VIRGO:
People who have been at a distance may well be in touch during April; this is a month when those who have been out of reach will reconnect.  You may be thinking about travel plans around the 17th but as Mercury goes retrograde yet again at that time, guard against hassle with travel plans or communication.  On May 19th Venus enters Cancer, boosting your popularity.  You'll find yourself out and about more than usual; while fun, this is a great time for networking.

LIBRA:
Intense relationships are crucial this month especially around April 3rd and 4th!  But be careful not to go diving in, not usually a Libran trait but on this occasion things could be different as love takes many strange paths.  In May it's best not to get involved with anyone financially at all! When Venus enters Cancer on the 19th your social life should take off. You'll be networking and having fun which will boost your wellbeing greatly!

SCORPIO:
Team-work is the order of the day in April but choose your companions wisely.  Many opportunities and offers may be available but that doesn't mean they're all good!  It has been all-change in business and the home for quite a while.  The Sun in Taurus after the 20th helps all your relationships, especially romances.  May offers a platform for your strongest Scorpio gifts - your persuasive powers.  With the Sun in Gemini after May 20th, your focus may shift to someone close to you!

SAGGITARIUS:
Any travel that you do in the coming two months could prove to be very important especially for networking and romance.  It may also improve your health vastly.  Mercury retrograde from April 17th may cause some work communication breakdowns but by the month's end you'll be focussed on your new and present goals again as the Sun enters Taurus.  Romance beckons after the 7th.  Watch that doesn't get in the way of your love life as May ends; it may be a choice between the two!

CAPRICORN:
The Sun enters Taurus on the 19th which for you means a great creative period.  You are more then able to think on your feet, and during the next two months you'll find you use that skill to improve your life, finances and your home!  During May your self-esteem and values clash with others, and your stubborn streak will be in evidence.  Mercury retrograde won't help but this will pass by the 18th.  Stay chilled if you can!

AQUARIUS:
Independence beckons for most Aquarians in the coming months, so some of you may be launching yourselves on your own out there.  With your creative minds, this is the best thing you could do especially as Jupiter, now in Pisces, brings amazing flashes of creative energy now and when the Sun enters Leo in July.  Venus enters Gemini on April 25th, helping relationships, friendships, and some much needed connections, and you'll find out who your real friends are!

PISCES:
After the 3rd, sparks fly as exciting people enter your life!  Saturn backtracks into Virgo on the 7th, bringing pressure but as this clears by mid-May, just keep that Piscean sense of humour.  Finances will be on your mind after the 18th and you move forward with money matters.  This year signals huge changes for the better for most Pisceans due to the effect of Jupiter in your sign.  Don't rush, just take it a step at a time towards success.  You're the luckiest sign in the Zodiac this year!
