CR Times Horoscope – Apr 15th to Apr 21st


	ARIES March 21 – April 20 Lots of energy and passion could make this a truly memorable week. You find yourself taking the initiative in social matters. This could also lead to falling in love (or lust) at first sight. The key is to balance aggressiveness with diplomacy and not promise more than you can give. Mid-week presents an opportunity to truly shine through teamwork. No need to blow your own horn-others will recognize your accomplishments.
	TAURUS April 21 – May 21 TRomantic matters are prominent this week. Although you’ve been busy focusing on work and finances your energies are going to be shifted to matters of the heart. Recognizing the importance of a stable, happy relationship will permit you to truly open yourself to the possibilities (and people) that are waiting. Embrace your past then let it go. You are worthy of being loved-never forget that.
	GEMINI May 22 – June 21 Your ability to adapt, emotionally and mentally, could be tested this week as both co-workers and friends seem to be pulling you in several directions. Getting close to a situation can help you untangle the knots but only (and this is the challenge) if you can back away to keep some objectivity. Late in the week you’ll need to be on your guard about speaking too quickly as this can cause confusion where clarity is needed.
	CANCER June 22 – July 23 Emotional overload can make this a difficult week. Criticism at work seems to hit you hard and leaves you feeling vulnerable. The challenge mid-week is to try and leave these negative feelings outside of your home. The best way to do this is to remember that what defines the “private” you is measured by external events. A family member will offer a different perspective that can help. Listen to it and heed it well.
	LEO July 24 – August 23 This week focuses on your need to have the approval of those closest to you and the risks you are willing to take to make that happen. Having the limelight on you is a double-edged sword, however, as some may view it as just being overly dramatic. By week’s end, a small financial gain may have you wondering if the effort was truly worth it. Remember, however, as long as the ledger is on the positive side it’s a good thing.
	VIRGO August 24 – September 23 A new project shows up at the beginning of the week that captivates your interest. Being able to break from the routine that you’ve under provides a bit of mental “fresh air”. Care must be taken not to become overly critical, particularly of your love interest while focusing on the details of the task at hand. Remember that your lover is not a distraction but, rather, a support for you as you forge ahead. Let them help.
	LIBRA September 24 – October 23 There is a real internal struggle going on this week. That feeling of restlessness while trying to balance your desire for individuality with the demands of the outer world makes cooperating with others extremely difficult. Mid-week this situation could lead to a confrontation-quite possibly with your partner. While the air needs to be cleared, an effort must be made to see their side of things in order to bring about a resolution.
	SCORPIO October 24 – November 22 This week finds you dealing with drastic changes on both the romantic and financial fronts. There is some hidden knowledge that you need to discover by the end of the week in order to make sense of the emotional storms that seem to be swirling around you. Ultimately you may have to submit to the will of the universe in order to truly regenerate and reinvent yourself. Be like a phoenix and rise from your ashes.
	SAGITTARIUS November 23 – December 22 The urge to get away from it all is strong this week. Trying to hold firm to your convictions is a challenge, particularly at the beginning of the week when it seems that relationships (romantic and work) are making you feel “closed in”. The solution is to look beyond the immediate situation to see how things fit into the bigger picture. You don’t have to surrender your uniqueness but the choice is yours to make.
	CAPRICORN December 23 – January 20 Doubting your own process in career matters is a major challenge this week. You put so much pressure on yourself that you could overlook some details that would make things easier. Mid-week you will need to make a realistic self-assessment about your long term goals. Remember that, ultimately, you are responsible for you own happiness and resetting your focus now can go a long way to bringing that about.
	AQUARIUS January 21 – February 19 Directing your energies to bring your own hopes and dreams to fruition is the task before you this week. Balancing your receptiveness to the power of karma while remaining critical of promises that sound too good to be true is a challenging but not impossible task. Late in the week you may have to step back from your social circle as your path is changing course. A strange encounter will prove puzzling but beneficial.
	PISCES February 20 – March 20 A sudden and unexpected situation right at the start of this week forces you to make a radical adjustment in plans, particularly where career and finance are involved. What appears like a setback is, in reality, a rerouting opportunity that you have needed for quite a while. The challenge is not to become ambivalent since you still have the power to choose. As Yoda noted: Do or do not, there is no try!!
