It will feel like you've been hit by a bolt out of the blue when Venus conjoins Uranus in Aries on April 22. Uranus is the planet of revolution and change in astrology, but it's also the planet of revelations and epiphanies, so get ready for the clouds to part as you finally see what's going on in your love life. You could walk out on a longstanding relationship, throw yourself into the arms of a complete stranger or change sex preferences. Stranger things have been known to happen. In any case, you'll really enjoy this new road that you'll be traveling.

There appears to be a certain person that you can't do right by no matter how hard you try. Usually this wouldn't bother you except that she's related to your boyfriend, is tight with your supervisor at work or is friends with your best friend. In any case, you may be surprised to see a total sea change in your association this week. It will start with her actually acknowledging your presence (instead of greeting you with her typical icy glance) and this could even evolve into an invitation to hang out together. Who knows? You may be looking at a new BFF.

You can't force him to make the decision you want him to make. Yes, it's true that he would be happier with you than he would be with her, but if he can't see that for himself now, then he never will. Saturn in your solar house of relationships hasn't been easy. You've been faced with more dilemmas, predicaments and disappointments than you can count, but if there's one thing that Saturn's made clear it's that the things you used to do to make love work just won't cut it anymore — and that includes wrestling men free from the tentacles of their life-sucking girlfriends.

Pluto's retrograde this week will leave you feeling all dressed up with no place to go. The serial cancellations, cobbled excuses and empty promises to be a better boyfriend are all adding up to this final no-show. How many times are you supposed to put up with this? You've done everything you can to make this relationship work and now it's time to walk away. Take satisfaction in the knowledge that this guy will regret having strung you along. It may take as long as September for the penny to drop, but it will, and when it lands it will be with a very loud clank.

This is a heavy time for you so take each day as it comes and try not to globalize. The full moon on April 21 will hit you with an intense bout of "man who got away blues," regrets for missed opportunities or empty nest syndrome. It could leave you feeling self-critical and darkly judgmental. You may not be able to outrun this melancholia, but you don't have to surrender to it either. Reach out to loved ones and friends. They'll rekindle flagging spirits by getting you to live in the here and now and showing you that the best is yet to come.

Most women have a hard time being buddies with a man, but you don't share that problem. Guys tend to see you as their confidante — someone they can talk to about their hopes and dreams, their worries and their apprehensions. It's a great rapport to have, but the downside to this is that you can wind up being treated like a beloved sister instead of a romantic interest. That said, you might be in for a surprise on April 19 when someone you never imagined harbored special feelings for you shows that he actually does. This unexpected twist will take some getting used to.

Be forewarned that this could be one of the more difficult weeks of the year for you. Your ruling planet Venus is traveling through an extremely rough patch of sky so you can expect to find yourself on the wrong side of an argument, dispute or struggle involving loved ones. Even if you're right, they will still perceive you as being in the wrong. Given the incendiary tempers surrounding you, it might be a good idea to apply the Emily Post rule most often invoked at dinner parties — avoid discussing politics and religion and stick to the weather.

Events surrounding the full moon on April 21 could leave you reeling. It's rare for a Scorpio to be caught off guard because you can usually see things coming. You're one of the few people who really do have eyes in the back of her head. Nevertheless, a family member's meltdown will unnerve you and leave you asking what you did wrong. Short answer? Nothing. You have been there for this person to the best of your ability and that is better than most. Let the heated words go in one ear and out the other. This person will thank you for it later.

"Anywhere but here" is the Sagittarian motto. Born with an explorer's heart and an adventurer's soul it's hard for you to stay put. You're convinced that the life you're supposed to be living is taking place someplace else. This is fine for traveling to destinations unknown and acquiring frequent flyer miles, but it can be hell on a relationship because you'll always feel like you can do better. Maybe you can. Maybe you can't. But the Venus/Saturn trine on April 18 shows that there's someone who's within stone's throw who could really rock your world if you would only give him half a chance.

It isn't easy stepping back and letting loved ones make their own mistakes. It goes against your good sense, better judgment and naturally protective instincts. You don't want to see someone you care about to fail or get hurt. Nevertheless experience is the best teacher and there's no way that this person is going to learn without suffering. Remember that scraped knees get better, bruised egos heal, and broken hearts grow stronger. Be a hovering yet benevolent presence and your loved one will thank you one day for having the presence of mind to step out of the way and the generosity of spirit to allow rather than forbid.

On April 19 the sun moves into that part of your solar chart that pertains to hearth and home. This signals that you need to spend more time here than there. Loved ones have been supportive while work has absorbed just about all of your attention, but you're getting dangerously close to becoming overdrawn at the goodwill bank. You've issued a lot of rain checks lately and they're on the verge of bouncing. Answer? Make more time for them over the next four weeks. They'll appreciate that you care and you'll appreciate reconnecting to the reasons why you work as hard as you do.

There's a lot of searching but not a lot of discovering when it comes to matters of the heart. This is exacerbated by your tendency to fall for bad boy types who walk all over you instead of dating nice guys who you know will love and support you. Thankfully the Venus/Saturn trine on April 18 will wake you up to the fact that the fellow you're seeing is actually a pretty good catch. You will always have a soft spot for the guys who break your heart but it doesn't mean you have to spend the rest of your life crying over them.
