Costa Rican Times Horoscope – April 7th to April 13th


	ARIES March 21 – April 20 Romantic situations are making you feel restricted this week and, as a result, the temptation to look for something new/different becomes more attractive. Early in the week a not-so-chance encounter could up the emotional ante in ways you weren’t expecting. Keep in mind, you can be too independent. Introspection is needed-is your irritation really with yourself or your partner? That question needs an answer first.
	TAURUS April 21 – May 21 The emphasis this week is on attachments-not the material variety but the emotional ones. You have a sense that, because you’ve been focusing so much time and energy recently on business/work matters, your social and romantic life has been neglected. This choice of action was both proper and timely and should not be second-guessed. Romance and socializing will ramp up towards week’s end. Believe it.
	GEMINI May 22 – June 21 This is a good week to apply your imagination in the realm of career/work/school. Being adaptable to changing situations, particularly mid-week, can be a valuable tool to reducing stress. Your belief that you can weather any storm-especially emotional ones will be tested. Additional thought needs to be given to all types of communications as your words carry more weight than you might know.
	CANCER June 22 – July 23 All of the emotional energy expended recently has taken more of a toll on you than you realize. Sorting reality from imagination is difficult at best. Connecting/reconnecting with a close family member at the start of the week can help you regain your bearings and stability. Even though financial storm clouds may be the horizon the best course is to wait until focus becomes clear. You do have time for this.
	LEO July 24 – August 23 Playing the “game of love” can be both exciting and frustrating this week. Your mental and physical energies are peaking right now but the risk is that your ego may write emotional checks that your heart isn’t prepared to cash. Mid-week would be a good time to just pause and enjoy being alive. Make certain that your partner(s) are well aware that you aren’t necessarily looking for “ever after” to keep the karma balanced.
	VIRGO August 24 – September 23 Reestablishing a routine at the start of the week is important from both a physical and financial point of view. By identifying those areas where you have been, literally, wasting effort, you rediscover your focus and your desire to do things right the first time. The key is not to get so caught up in the small stuff that you overlook (or ignore) deadlines. Doing so will help maintain the freedom of movement you need.
	LIBRA September 24 – October 23 Long term commitments come under scrutiny this week. Destiny/fate seems to have played a more prominent role than you imaged when you made those promises and now this realization troubles you. During the middle of the week getting involved in arguments over trivial matters (both romantic and career related) wastes energy and time. Demand less and compromise more and progress will follow.
	SCORPIO October 24 – November 22 Romantic/Relationship intensity ramps up this week. An old issue (former lover/partner?) has bubbled back to the surface adding a lot of tension. In some fashion money becomes more of the focal point than passion. What is called for is complete honesty-no matter how painful this might be. This is all part of a longstanding karmic debt that now must be paid. The end of the week could be extreme-so hang on tight.
	SAGITTARIUS November 23 – December 22 Questioning some long held beliefs have you feeling frustrated early on this week. The answers that you are seeking seem to be elusive and, as a result, you could come across as confrontational especially in career matters. What is needed now is to examine closely the underlying feelings that these situations are bringing out. The answers you want will be found there. A brief passionate interlude is also likely.
	CAPRICORN December 23 – January 20 Being “in the spotlight” isn’t all that you thought it would be this week. Although finances are beginning to look up and a new career path is opening the increase in emotional pressure is taking an unexpected toll on your romantic life. The real challenge is balancing how you spend your energy between the outside world and the home front. If you do this you will find that there’s enough of you to go around.
	AQUARIUS January 21 – February 19 This week there is a real chance of being emotionally blindsided by a close associate in the realm of work/school/career mid-week. This is not through any malice however; the end result may actually be a constructive crisis that provides a new perspective on your current wishes and goals. By facing the reality of the situation honestly, you become more resilient and learn not to bend facts to suit your feelings.
	PISCES February 20 – March 20 There is a real sense of independence that fills you right at the start of the week. You find that embracing change is much easier than you imagined-especially where work/school is involved. At the same time you feel somewhat emotionally isolated where romantic situations are involved. This is merely a symptom of the transformation you are undergoing and not a long-term issue. Don’t go overboard and things will settle.
