Horoscope for April 2012 for Leo

The first half of the month will be successful for dealing with family, typical household tasks and chores and everyday issues. If you're considering a small home improvement project or renovation, now may be the time to pick up the hammer and nails and get started! You'll be feeling and urge to improve your personal environment, and where better to begin than right on the home front?

In relations with close relatives you'll do well to take a proactive approach, to openly discuss the fact that you are not satisfied. If you're having trouble with someone close to you, this is the time to bring the matter out into the light of day. You may well find that your partner is more willing to listen to your thoughts on the issue than you originally thought he or she might be. Be sure to consider opposing viewpoints, however, when putting forth your own. There is more than one side to every story.

You also should be aware that if you overreach where concessions are concerned at this time, it could come back to haunt you later. There is a certain give and take at work in your life right now, and asking for more than you know you really need is only going to make you happy in the short term. Try to think in terms of longevity, especially where love is concerned.

The first half of April will also bring you good luck at work. You may find that at this time it is easier to reach a compromise with colleagues and subordinates, even those who previously have been difficult to work with. If there are performance reviews in the offing, this would be a good time to tackle them. Not only are you operating at full potential right now with regard to business, but the people around you are drawn to your innate abilities and leadership qualities. The actions you take now will likely not go unnoticed by superiors.

In the second half of the month the focus will shift to personal relationships. Your personal magnetism is running hot and fast right now and there's very little you feel you cannot do, if you only set your mind to it. And rest assured, you will be wanting to set your mind to things. You will become more active and assertive when interacting with the opposite sex. In fact, in most cases, you're going to be downright irresistible. Just make sure you use your "touch" to obtain the things you really want out a personal relationship. If all you're looking for is a brief fling, that's OK, but if you're in the market for something more, sometimes it's best to take things a little more slowly. You'll be tempted to rush headlong into romance right now and that could leave you feeling empty and cheated further down the line. Such activity, coupled with the desire to create strong, potent and warm relations will bring you much success in the personal arena. Just make sure it's the sort of success you're really after in your heart of hearts.
