Summit Horoscopes for April 18
Aries ~ March 21 - April 19
Life: Your creativity will be high today, Aries, inspiring you to paint or write. If you're unable to take time to satisfy your muse, at least take some small steps to ensure your abilities don't lie fallow. How about signing up for a class or joining a writing group? (*cough cough join journalism now cough*)
Love: Both you and your dearest heart would benefit from making a date with each other in order to get some time to really talk together. The position of the planets today indicates that because you have both been very busy recently, you need to reestablish the lines of communication between you. A candlelit meal somewhere gorgeous, with time for a walk beneath the moonlight should have you relating quite profoundly again.
Taurus ~ April 20 - May 20
Life: This week, you're going to want to shut out the world and be alone with your thoughts, Taurus. You're caught up in the introspective energies at play. You may not be very cooperative, and may even wish to spend time on more solitary activities. Indulge yourself. You might want to take time alone to meditate. Listen to yourself. You're likely to be on the verge of a major self-discovery.
Love: The position of the heavenly bodies means that rather than finding yourself in the depths of a passionate embrace, you are more likely to find yourself having a really profound conversation with that special someone. This could take you into some fascinating areas that could also suggest the opportunity to undertake a project together in the future. You will be relating on many levels, not only a romantic one.
Gemini ~ May 21 - June 21
Life: Today indicates that you can expect to make a leap in your career, Gemini. Your intellect and communicative skills have served you well in the past months, paving the way for advancement. You may decide to try hard to be sure the promotion occurs. You might work extra hours and decide to commit to some new projects so the higher-ups can see how eager you are.
Love: Don't keep quiet today, because conversation is the key to some wonderful romantic opportunities. The current astral configuration gives you a golden opportunity to strike up a delectable dialogue with the person of your dreams. But you may have to be the one who goes up and speaks first, the one to lead the way, and the one to guide the ensuing dialogue toward all the right topics.
Cancer ~ June 22 - July 22
Life: If you've been considering a career in writing or teaching, Cancer, this is an ideal day to put some plans into motion. Your imagination and inspiration are highlighted, as is your facility with words. This combination pretty much guarantees that you could sell anything to anyone. If you're ready to pitch a book proposal to a publisher, do it now.
Love: The position of the heavenly bodies means you access the possibility of passion in a new relationship through talking with each other. Yet your conversation will not be an idle discussion of all the latest and hottest gossip; it will be profound, brilliant, futuristic, warm, and filled with spontaneous signs and tokens of your affection for each other. And later the silence between you will be filled with even more exciting promises.
Leo ~ July 23 - August 22
Life: You aren't one to put much stock in the meanings of dreams, but you may have had a dream recently that was so accurate in its prediction as to be almost scary. Certainly it was uncanny. Write down everything you remember about it and then discuss the images with a friend. Don't worry, Leo, your friend won't laugh at you. It's more than likely you will receive some telling insights.
Love: Although there may not be any displays of sentiment or affection between you and the person you are out with on a first date this week, the current astral configuration makes it very special nevertheless. There is real enthusiasm for and about the subjects of conversation that you choose to take up. It is here that you find the common ground that bonds you more deeply together, and makes a passionate relationship more possible.
Virgo ~ August 23 - September 22
Life: You're peerless when it comes to your ability to sway others to your point of view, Virgo. This week you may be put on the spot and asked to defend a position in front of many people. You will do just fine, surprising everyone but you. You handle a microphone with ease and work an audience until they're putty in your hands. You could sell anything!
Love: This week's position of the heavenly bodies means that it is through the power of persuasion that you get to go out on a first date this evening. You not only need to use all the right words in phrasing your request, plus a fair bit of flattery, as well. But you also need to communicate, using body language, that you would like to get closer, and that you find them powerfully irresistible.
Libra ~ September 23 - October 23
Life: Don't be surprised if you get a sudden windfall today, Libra. It may come in the form of cash. More likely it will be an opportunity of some kind. Perhaps a business partner has suggested you branch into a more lucrative area. Perhaps you decide to go into business for yourself. Whatever it is, you're bound to succeed. From business and creative standpoints, this is a most auspicious time for you.
Love: Don't hang back in conversation with someone special today, especially with current astral configuration. And don't hide your real opinions or thoughts, or change them to make them sound more presentable. You will be much more appreciated by this wonderful being if you are totally, utterly, and honestly yourself, and express exactly what you really feel. You will find their respect for you then grows in leaps and bounds.
Scorpio ~ October 24 - November 22
Life: You have a quick mind, Scorpio, which you don't use to anywhere near its full capacity. Think of your brain as a thoroughbred horse, trained to run at high speed. This type of animal is miserable if kept penned up, unable to run and stretch. Your mind needs similar room to stretch and grow. If new challenges don't come your way, you may have to create some of your own. It's a shame to sit idle.
Love: Today's position of the heavenly bodies means that if you and your beloved have been having a problem recently, and have not really been speaking to each other very much, then this is the time to make up. You could well start your reconciliation by having a few arguments, but this will tend to be more a release of tension. You will find yourselves more deeply and passionately in love than before.
Sagittarius ~ November 23 - December 21
Life: A day off is just what the doctor ordered, Sagittarius. Try to get some rest. Spend time curled up with a good book. Only go out with friends if you're feeling absolutely stir crazy. You should do no work. Your body and spirit crave a break. Take care of your basic need to refresh yourself. Everything else will fall into place afterward.
Love: You tend toward silence quite often as a means to take control over certain romantic proceedings, or as way of making a point without actually having to make it. The position of the planets today really encourages you not to do this this week on your first date with someone, as they will not appreciate this kind of behavior, which could prematurely end the beginning of something special.
Capricorn ~ December 22 - January 20
Life: With today's planetary energies, Capricorn, you can expect a lot of contact with friends. In fact, just when you thought you'd never receive another invitation or attend another party, one comes your way. Even though you may feel partied out right now, resist the urge to decline. You're likely to meet a very interesting person at this next bash.
Love: This week's astral configuration makes you want to stand on a metaphorical soapbox and lecture your sweet one to the ends of the earth and back, which may not go over too well if you were planning on sharing a romantic meal. You would do well to try and allow them to speak occasionally, and to let you know how they feel about the relationship. You will learn something if you listen.
Aquarius ~ January 21 - February 18
Life: You have a keen intellect and unparalleled persuasive powers, Aquarius. If you aren't an attorney, you should be. All signs indicate that your career is about to skyrocket. Career and financial success are pretty much guaranteed with today's planetary configuration. If you have a mate to share this good fortune with, consider yourself doubly blessed.
Love: Planning what you are going to talk about on your date may give you all the necessary confidence and reassurance that you need, but it will not be the best way to go about things. The position of the planets today encourages you instead to allow the discussion to flow naturally into whatever areas or subjects crop up; this way you will find you both relate beautifully.
Pisces ~ February 19 - March 20
Life: Your mental powers should be especially acute today, Pisces. Your mind will be quick and receptive and your communicative abilities exceptionally sharp. You feel on top of the world, as though you could sell anything to anybody! Make the most of this surge of intellectual power by beginning any new projects you've been considering.
Love: This week's astral configuration encourages you to wear red on your date this evening, with just a subtle hint of blue in flashes here and there. You will find that it is the power of your intellect that really catches their attention though, and your body language follows closely after. Speak with authority on any subject about which you have genuine knowledge, and they will be suitably impressed.
