Pisces (February 19 - March 20)
Your April Horoscope by Susan Miller
DGB Editorial:
I don't usually pay too close attention to my horoscope but every once in a while I will get one that i particularly like -- and/or in this case -- one that partly unnerves me. This does both. I like the 'creativity' part; but the 'health and surgery' part scares the life out of me. I've had enough of hospitals for the next long while. A year and a half ago was too short a time ago. No more hospitals please...No bad news from doctors please...I'm in a good 'creativity zone' right now -- and I don't want any setbacks. Let tomorrow -- April 1st/09 bring me good luck, not bad. Hold on, and be good to me my liver, please -- and I will be good to you.

Pisces Horoscope for April 2009
By Susan Miller
What a pivotal time of the year this month is for you! You still have Mars in Pisces giving you a lovely advantage! Mars first entered your sign on March 15 and will continue to stand by you until April 21. During the first three weeks of April, you must push all your dearest plans and goals forward with all your might, while you have the force of the universe behind you. You won't have any problem getting the attention of key people, so proceed confidently. Having Mars in Pisces will be a huge plus - and this is a once-in-two-year edge that you have for only three more weeks.
It's time to think about yourself, which is a change for you. As a Pisces you are very oriented toward helping others, but now taking extra "me" time will work to your benefit. Everyone should have their own needs met sometimes, so this month, take care of the parts of you that you've neglected, dear Pisces. Also, you will be in a highly creative mode, and you will be turning out impressive work - even surprising yourself with how original you can be.
On the full moon, April 9 (operative April 8 to 13), you are likely to see a financial culmination to a deal, or get the answer to a question about a commission, advance, royalty, or licensing fee. You may need to write a check too, but there's a strong chance that money would be coming in to you, too. This point in the month should be upbeat. The reason for your optimistic outlook is that this particular full moon, April 9, will reach out to Jupiter, planet of good fortune, and Neptune, your ruler and planet of imagination. You may get news of a wonderful career development, and as a result, be told you'll be getting a generous sum of money. To be clear, the focus of this full moon will be on your finances, but your career may be the channel that delivers it to you.
The house so strongly lit is not a house ruling salary but rather one-time cash payments. If you do see cash coming in, it will be money that comes in one large chunk, not cash that is distributed over long-term periods, as would be the case in a paycheck. You may hear good news about a business loan or scholarship, venture capital investment, mortgage, refinancing plan, inheritance, or severance package. If you are starting a job, you may go over your new benefits package that will come with the job. If you feel you are due a refund for taxes, this full moon may bring better-than-expected news.
In terms of health, this same full moon may bring surgery or an important dental procedure to your attention, and actually, it may be scheduled for sometime between April 8 and 13. If so, you have fine aspects to Jupiter, which rules, among other things, healing and vitality. As you see, you'll have an excellent chance of success with this procedure. Jupiter is currently visiting your twelfth house, the area of the chart ruling hospitals, physical therapy, rehab, and other areas that we go to from time to time to get well.
Now let's turn to a wild card part of the month, due on April 15. To understand what's happening, we need to look back to your recent past for a moment. You seem to be frustrated by the slow, overly cautious attitude or response from a partner. This person might be your marriage partner, or someone you collaborate with at work in a close, committed way. In this sense, it could be your business partner, agent, investor, publicist, or other person you depend upon and who is committed to the outcome of the projects that you do together. Yet your frustration appears to be building with this person, for he or she seems not to be "getting" what you need or are trying to do, and as a result you feel held back.
On April 15, you may boil over, when Mars, planet of aggressive action and courage, will align with Uranus, planet of surprise and rebellion. Both planets will meet at 24 degrees of Pisces. As you see, this is as hot an aspect as you can get, and it may make you impulsive, angry, or ready to very rapidly go solo. Count to ten and keep your head. You may feel shocked about something you learn at this time. If you were born on March 14 or within five days of this date, you will feel this aspect more closely than most.
Even though classic astrology books will tell you to calm down on this day, there is a part of me that feels there is something refreshing about an honest response. If you want to proclaim, "Enough is enough!" be my guest. Whatever it is, you seem to be a bit unnerved by what you hear, doubly so if you were born on March 14, plus or minus five days. Keep your schedule light so you can more easily deal with what comes up, because it will be hard to concentrate on anything else near April 15.
