The New Moon in Aries on the 17th, which will herald a new beginning of some sort, is likely to show up for you in the workplace.  If you're trying to make a move to another company or department, you may see some concrete steps set in that direction this month.  Keep those Scorpio feelers out, like I know you do, and take advantage of it when it comes along.  You're the Master or Mistress of Subtlety and can ferret out secrets and hidden information like no other, so tune in and you're sure to find something.

Your ruling planet, Pluto, is up to no good this month as he goes retrograde on April Fools Day.  This ignoble event will occur in your Natural 2nd House of possessions and pleasures.  This is not exactly the best place for this to occur.  Pluto, who's the self-appointed Zodiacal Medical Examiner, exhumes all sorts of stuff that was previous hidden and needs repair.  When this happens to your psyche it's not exactly pleasant, but the end result is a happier, healthier you.  When he starts revealing the hidden flaws in your possessions and pleasures, you probably need to hang onto your checkbook because there's no telling what might go wrong, especially relative to the hidden elements of your home, such as wiring and plumbing. 

In cahoots with Pluto is Jupiter, who joins him with his own about-face on April 6th.  Jupiter retrograde is going to work on your belief systems relative to your material possessions and perhaps point out any excesses or, in your case, obsessions, you may have in this area.  Scorpios like quality and if you've been more indulgent than you should be, this is likely to come up for review during the next few months as well.  Therefore my advice here is to think about your spending habits carefully and make any necessary changes to assure your future security. 

There's quite a bit of action going on in your Natural 5th House which governs your children, lovelife and creative endeavors.  Around the 6th, Mars will deliver some extra drive and energy in that direction, which could stir up some action in one or more of those venues.  He's not alone in the neighborhood, either, with Mercury there until the 11th to help you think and talk clearly, and Uranus, planet of change, surprises, and the unexpected, is still lingering there as well.  Thus, if there are any changes you need to make, now is the time to do so.  If everything in that area seems quiescent at the moment, then be prepared for a surprise or two to come your way, most likely of a pleasant nature.

The planets all work together to achieve the effects we need to progress and improve our lives and when one is working on a particular area of our life, another is doing parallel work somewhere else.  You'll be happy to know that not only are pleasant surprises likely in your 5th House, as noted above, but that your friend and mine, Ms. Venus, Goddess of Love, is cruising through your 7th House of relationships, both personal and business, until the 12th.  Even after that, all is not lost, because once she leaves Taurus she'll slip into something more comfortable in your Natural 8th House of intimate relationships (a.k.a. sex), figurative death and regeneration and other people's money. 

The 8th House is Scorpio domain on the universal level, so this is bound to bring a few good things your way as well.  Don't worry about the "death and regeneration" part since that is generally figurative  and it's unlikely that someone as sweet as Venus is going to cause any trouble there.  Rather, it could be the healing or repairing of something, though in this case my bet would be on something to do with an intimate relationship, perhaps bringing an existing relationship to a new level, or perhaps some money luck, which I know you love.

Generally, this should be a very good month for you with the positive elements outweighing any problems, which are likely to occur relative to your possessions.  Get the phone number of a good plumber and electrician, baby your car and rethink your budget.  If things pick up on the relationship front, you'll have other more interesting places to spend your money anyway.
