Horoscopes: 27th April- 3rd May

Who says that everything must be resolved by tomorrow? Anyone trying to force the pace in a negotiation may be trying to hide something, so make the most of your inclination to go over everything more at your own careful speed. Ruler Venus places you at an advantage in all matters to do with money and business.

Though not the vainest of people usually (it’s your brain you take greater pride in), this may not be the case right now as Venus asks you to step up your gorgeousness factor. It’s this that strengthens your resolve to break a bad dietary or drinking habit under Full Moon – you want to look your best for the opportunities approaching.

‘Managing’ people, at home but more likely at work, remains a key theme of your chart. Some deluded souls think the world resolves around their egos, and it’s you who carefully has to wake them up to reality. A brief Sun-Saturn link helps you patiently restore peace in an organisation and this personal victory earns brownie points.

Much information is coming at you on a particular issue, and the risk is that you may feel overwhelmed by the bulk of detail. Virgo people are highly adept at handling such situations but can exhaust themselves as the nervous tension rises. This is easily avoided by prioritising. Set aside those things that can wait – and you’ll weather this time brilliantly.

Home matters are continuing to preoccupy you in this sorting- out phase. Saturn brings to the surface an old family issue or rift, which is probably rooted in someone’s complex emotional make-up and also in their inability to express their feelings adequately. Headway will also be made in making a loving reconnection with someone, mainly because your heart is open to new approaches.

So often in life you have had to keep a lid on great emotion: a trait of your sign. More of the same can be expected now, with the advice that a great temptation to speak your mind should be resisted. Instead, say what must be said in a calm and reasoned way.

Ruler Jupiter stays a long while yet in the chart house of the subconscious, greatly enhancing your capacity to grow spiritually and psychologically – many of you are already embracing a new faith or undergoing a therapeutic course. Full Moon inspires you with greater insight and, through this, adds to a feeling of personal liberation and fresh perspective.

Practical and methodical instincts are helped immensely by ruler Saturn’s happy link to Full Moon. In business or campaigning dealings, expect an opportunity to be of service. In a more personal area (including love life), progress can also be made, provided you stick to a realisable aim.

In dealings over property, there is no better time to get a good price, whether buying or selling, thanks to the contribution of a factor unknown to you. Career and status are also favoured by Full Moon for the completion of a special project or promotion, even if there are also pressing family affairs to attend to.

Sometimes the grass really is greener over the fence – and if that’s your sense as you look at another culture or way of doing things, then hold on to that thought. Much can be learned from immersing yourself in a new study or another geographical place, in your ongoing discovery that there’s much to be learnt from people with very different backgrounds.

The aftershock from recent confrontation(s) may still be felt, and now you’re in a time of consequences of words and deeds. Whatever these may turn out to be, career and finances are unaffected and indeed there is likely improvement under a Sun- Saturn link. To capitalise on this, remind people just how smooth and accommodating you can be (despite everything!).
