The events of this month inspire creativity and optimism, as well as a need for flexibility and adaptability. Sometimes, the early part of an 8 Personal Year brings financial challenges and problems. If this is the case, April is the most challenging time of the year. It is a testing time that forces you to confront your lifestyle and your priorities. With the right adjustments, you can put yourself on sounder financial ground. The month also encourages a certain detachment from trying to control financial matters too much. Once you stop controlling matters too much, your spiritual understanding of life really pays off in a practical and applicable way.

Last year's opportunities to contemplate and search for insight -- which may have seemed unproductive at times -- now prove to be your best defense on the battle ground of material progress. You are being forced to achieve a balance between the spiritual and the material, especially this month. In any case, April will reveal to you how capable you are of doing that. Be generous but don't waste money. Focus on getting things done, but don't let financial reward be your only motivation. Introduce creativity and a playful attitude to the job at hand. And most important; don't let temporary setbacks ruin your ambition. This is a time to reach out, not to suppress.

Romance and relationships continue to be favorable. Social events bring new people. Your self-expression and sense of humor improve, and it is easy to make new friends during this time.
