This is a month when you strive to reach lofty ambitions and welcome the pressure and challenges that come your way. You can expect qualified resistance from charismatic leaders, who want to see things done faster and better. You may argue for a careful, step by step approach. The trick is to find a balance of opposites, and by mid-April you can expect to see tangible successes due to hard work and considerable effort.

There is also a lot of focus on family life, and partners may get a bit touchy if they feel life is all work and no play. At any rate, by the new moon on April 21st, the focus is on quality of life, celebration and enjoyment. This is a great time to start a creative project, and it is also a wonderful time for planning in connection with children.

Entertainment and friendships play a major role this month. There may be an opportunity for travel, or perhaps you can play host to someone returning from afar. Early in April there are confusing trends in the working environment as new colleagues send mixed messages, or because there are complicated relationships going on. What you hear and see might not be what is actually going on, and it is advisable to keep out of gossipy situations or other forms of manipulation.

The early part of May is a very satisfying period both socially and in your love life, and there is a sense of being fulfilled both in your friendships and in connection with children and loved ones. Life can be a pleasure, and sometimes it is nice to spend money celebrating it.

One major event in May is the connection between Venus, which has a very social influence, and your sign ruler Saturn… a connection that will span an extraordinarily long period until the end of July. This suggests an extremely rewarding relationship with a colleague, or perhaps two, who have many innovative ideas about outreach to and communication with others. This can lead to considerable success, where everyone’s talents are mutually developed and improved.

It is at work that the major changes take place this month. New arrivals come with new ideas, and at times working life can seem like a bubbling brew, where anything can happen. There is no shortage of ideas, but there is a lamentable shortage of realism, which you will have to supply. Perhaps creative environments need an element of chaos, and first there have to be some dreams before anyone can weave them into something useful.

June is a month when you will put the finishing touches to career projects, especially in regard to consolidating achievements over the last two years. Fortunately you are not alone in this. Other skilled and helpful people use their talents in communication and human resources to support you at every move, and at the beginning of June, one colleague in particular excels in opening professional channels for you.

When your sign ruler Saturn moves direct on June 25th, you will be ready to make the most of your influence to achieve the professional results you have been striving for. Three months later, your work will be complete, and you can move on to new challenges. It’s a cooperative venture and you, your boss and your colleagues deserve equal credit.

The end of June brings a much greater focus on partnership, and family priorities will be important, which makes the summer holidays a time to listen to what the family wants and act accordingly. Loved ones have unfulfilled dreams, and an exotic holiday may just be the thing to fulfill them. Unpredictable and exciting events take place in the family next month, and it is a good idea to open to experimentation.

After seven years of famine come seven years of good harvest, and you set the ball rolling this year by consolidating your professional position. You have the capability to handle a more responsible role, because your judgment is good and you have a talent to help people and organizations to function harmoniously. At the end of March there is resistance to your plans, but this just makes you stronger. This arises because willful family members want you to do things their way. On the economic front a long period of economic dissolution is ebbing out, and you now find the resources to pursue creative mental interests like art, literature and music. The last part of 2011 is excellent for children, and you are willing to adapt your lifestyle considerably to create the best possible framework for them. However, there are also unpredictable developments in family life, especially in April, perhaps because you want to experiment with something completely new.

The first half of 2012 is a period when you continue your professional journey and harvest more and more respect and recognition, not least because you have a fine overview and are very good at working with your colleagues. This ability brings great success, especially in March, which is also a great period for creative projects. It is also a perfect period for children and their development. When your sign ruler Saturn moves into Scorpio on October 5th, a decisive change takes place. The progress you have made in your career has consequences for your social life, and the time has come to channel your ideas into a social project which is meaningful to you. It is very likely that you will want to make a difference in the larger sense of the word at this time, and you may take responsibility for a group which has a philanthropic or socio-political agenda. You are entering a period of your life when you discover just how strong you are. You are ready to give ultimatums, but the past has shown that you are basically fair and diplomatic. After October 2012 you are less interested in making compromises and a more decisive style takes over. This is very noticeable in November and December, but you should try not to be too hard, for fear of seeming too dominant. It is important not to risk family harmony by being too tough. Still, this is also a period when you will win every battle and overcome any challenges that come your way.
