Leo Horoscope for April 2016

This is an exciting month for you Leo, with a series of bright ideas coming your way that elevate your comprehension of your current cycle of personal development. Although you continue to find yourself in fortunate circumstances, it has also been a difficult beginning of the year, including interior trials that have produced much food for thought. Now you are beginning to reap the benefits in terms of expanded awareness, especially to the extent that you can remain as open as possible to all your possibilities. Your productivity is coming to a distinct standstill, which can be seen as a further trial, or else an opportunity for meditative understanding to take root on the inside of your mind. In the second half of the month, while slowed down in terms of outer concerns, internal pursuits yield rich rewards.

As the month begins, you are exploring the world around you in new ways, intellectually observing from new and different angles the behaviors and attitudes that have shaped you in the past, and that you might now be about to move beyond. This is a great month for coming to your own form of truth, in your own way, and in so doing you shake off vestiges of past beliefs that were based in large part upon the notions of your forebears, early conditioning or the dictates of consensus thinking. These could be productive for your process but never represent the whole of the mental offering that you bring. It must be noted also that in some ways the epiphany that you are reaching for has little to do with rational methods of analysis, and more to do with a deep intuitional understanding that transcends a purely rational approach.

With the Aries New Moon of April 7th you are reaching one pinnacle of this movement toward a broader and deeper vision. This is an exciting time; there could be other innovations that suddenly spring into reality as this month's cycle truly gets underway, perhaps along educational or travel lines. This is also a quite practical timing also, and the concrete manifestation of what you envision is only a small gesture away. You have an extremely positive and optimistic side to your nature now that gives you the feeling that you can remove mountains, and in these matters the feeling is more than half the battle. The cosmic currents swirling about you are intensely powerful and profound, so that virtually nothing is to be ruled out as impossible. Results come slowly however, as symbolized by the retrograde of Mars in another key area of our chart, so that patience is required in order to see your changes through.
