Happy birthday to me

This month's Astrology Zone:
Taurus:

The new moon in Taurus on April 24 will be your celebratory moment, for it will act as a cosmic gift certificate for your birthday, to use any way you please. It will give you what you need most, an ideal time to launch a new relationship or endeavor. A new moon in our own sign is always very special and it only comes once a year. If your birthday falls on this day or within five days of this date, you'll be showered with extra luck.

This new moon will be doubly helpful to you if you were born on April 23, or within five days of this date. If that's you, you'll find that your whole year will be filled with lots of fresh starts and new opportunities. If your birthday falls closer to May 9 (next month's full moon), you will find that this coming birthday year will be one of fulfillment and closure. In your case, Taurus born closer to May 9 will find that after the coming twelve months is over, you'll be moving out in very new directions. Those born at the end of April will be doing that now, almost immediately. All Taurus have a really good outlook, especially for career opportunities this year - some of the best of the decade!

Focusing back on this month, April, with Venus moving to stronger, direct speed on April 22 and a new moon in Taurus just two days later, you really have a terrific week at the end of April, one that is quite potent and important to use.

There is a catch, however. You will have to work quickly because Mercury will begin to retrograde on May 7 to May 31, and you will feel the confusing atmosphere as soon as you reach May 1. Be smart and make the most of the weekend of April 25-26 when the moon will be in Taurus. It's your very best point in the month.

Let's talk about the new moon on April 24, for that moon will send a lovely vibe to your seventh house of commitment and partnership. If you are dating and ready for marriage, you may just get engaged this month, right after this new moon! If you are already attached, your partner may come to you with ideas or a new plan for the two of you.

This new moon is very positive, for it will receive gifts from Saturn (stability and longevity) and Pluto (transformation) - that's saying a lot! This is a very good new moon!

Returning our discussion to April, if you are self-employed and thinking of taking on a partner or an expert, such as a new accountant, lawyer, agent, architect, publicist, advertising agency, or investor, the new moon of April 24 will allow you to do so, for the pieces of your plan will fall neatly into place. Continue to check proposed references early in the month so that you will be ready to roll just after the new moon April 24.
