It allows you to let go of the past and focus on the present, while also building and nurturing important relationships with loved ones. However, this can make it difficult to build trust and intimacy with your partner. You may want to do something out of the ordinary and surprise your beloved partner.

By taking a curious and open-minded approach to your love life, you can learn to appreciate the lessons that come with each experience. Libra: Since your emotions are high today, it is a good idea to be aware of your feelings and how they may influence your actions. Virgo: Conversing with your loved one about things that interest you both can help create a comfortable and relaxed environment, where you can be yourself and enjoy each other's company. Leo: As you navigate the ups and downs of your own love life, it's essential to approach yourself with compassion and understanding. Therefore, make the most of this opportunity and engage in meaningful conversations to enhance your mental and emotional connection with your partner. As you embark on this journey of love, it is important to remain open and receptive to the myriad of possibilities that may present themselves. Cancer: You may have been waiting for this moment for a long time, and the universe is finally aligning to bring you closer to the person you've been seeking. When addressing these issues with your significant other, it is important to approach the conversation with love, respect, and empathy.

Final note: This is kind of a BS day to get a Wordle in one. And the sad truth of it is, it was kind of a hole in two. No cleverness in the machine. Anyone lucky or clever enough to try March was rewarded with the hole in one. Wordle Bot took three, by the way. I plugged it in. Imagine my surprise when it turned over all green! Only one month remained, and it’s the one we just finished. The most widely accepted explanation is that it began in France in the 16th century. However, some people were slow to get the news or failed to recognize that the start of the new year had moved, and continued to celebrate it on April 1st. In 1582, France switched from the Julian calendar to the Gregorian calendar. This is when bad joke headlines flood the internet and “fake news” takes on a whole new meaning—perhaps a less sinister one, but still annoying.

April Fools' Day: Why do we collectively try to mess with others on 1 April, and how do countries celebrate this festival of foolishness?

Only the Netherlands had to be sacrificed on the alter of prank this year. Just to be clear – the rest of this article is based on facts. The Portuguese don’t celebrate April Fools’ Day on 1 April and prefer the Sunday and Monday prior to Lent. The prank first appeared in a British newspaper on 2 April 1698, where an article on the front page read: "Yesterday being the first of April, several persons were sent to the Tower Ditch to see the Lions washed." In 2008, they fooled their audience again with their viral Miracles of Evolution trailer, which appeared to show some special penguins that had regained the ability to fly. In England, it had become a popular prank to send gullible victims to the Tower of London to see the washing of the lions – a ceremony that didn’t exist. Much later on, the BBC infamously reported on 1 April 1957 in a spoof segment that Swiss farmers were experiencing a record spaghetti crop and showed footage of people harvesting noodles from trees. It is called Gowkie Day, for the gowk - or cuckoo - a symbol of the fool. When the person receives the letter, they open it, read it and tell the messenger that they will have to take the letter to another person. April Fools’ Day is only celebrated for half a day in England. Others have pointed out that the Holi festival in India, which also takes place in March, could be the source of the day. Many trace the custom back to medieval France where 25 March used to be New Year's Day until the Julian calendar was reformed in 1564 and changed to the Gregorian calendar.

Be confident in your ability to learn what you need to as you go along. Trust that stepping into the portal of personal power is going to make you a magnet for miracles *and* bring in opportunities that will propel you in the direction of growth. You are in the process of constructing a new reality for yourself and others, beautiful. Due to personal reasons, you will be getting hotter and smarter and sexier in the coming months. The sparkle you’ve been looking for awaits you outside of your comfort zone, beautiful. Give yourself the permission to explore the length and breadth of who you *outside* of the workspace.

Cosmic tip: You deserve reciprocity, beautiful. Do you feel a sense of gratitude for the given chapter or a case of regret in retrospect?

On April 29, Mars in Cancer meets with Uranus in Taurus, and some exciting and unexpected events may take place regarding your relationships. The New Moon solar eclipse in Aries unfolds in the sky just past midnight Eastern Time on April 20, marking the second New Moon in Aries this year! The Full Moon in Libra lights up the sky early on April 6 and brings attention to your public and private lives. On the same day, the Sun in Taurus grinds up against Pluto in Aquarius, which can stir up feelings of control, fixation, and power. Your words are sweeter than normal on April 7 when Venus in Taurus meets with Neptune in Pisces. You may also be more focused on hobbies and activities that bring you joy.

Then, around April 20, the solar eclipse and the new moon fall in Aries. This is the first of a whole new series of eclipses that will last until spring 2025, ...

Your focus might need to shift to commitments on the home front once the confident sun moves through your home zone from April 20 to May 21. From April 11 to May 7, Venus, the planet of relationships, moves through your daily routine zone, which can inspire you to make your wellness plan more social. From April 20 to May 21, the confident sun moves through your daily routine zone, encouraging you to focus on everyday details and your wellness. Once the sun moves through your intimacy zone from April 20 to May 21, surface-level conversations just won’t cut it — you’ll want to connect physically, emotionally, and mentally on a soul level. Around April 6, when the full moon falls in your sign, expect strong emotions related to these relationships and your sense of self to come. As your ruler, messenger Mercury, is retrograde in the same sector from April 21 to May 14, slowing down allows you to better connect the dots between the details of your day-to-day — and any responsibilities related to them — and the personal growth you’re itching to experience. You can also look forward to the sun’s trip through your higher learning zone from April 20 to May 21, supporting your desire to step beyond the mundane day-to-day. Around April 20, the solar eclipse and new moon in your adventure sector encourage you to spread your wings or take a leap of faith. And while messenger Mercury moves backward through the same zone from April 21 to May 14, reflect on and reassess your professional goals. Around April 20, the new moon and solar eclipse in your career zone kick off a new chapter for your professional path. Then, from April 11 to May 7, Venus, the planet of beauty, moves through your sign, making pleasure, creativity, and beauty even more of a focus. Right out the gate, you’ll get a message to embrace spontaneity and channel your emotions into an artistic or fun-filled project, thanks to the April 6 full moon in your self-expression and romance zone.

What's the origin, history, and significance of April Fools' Day 2023? Here's everything you need to know.

Several Indian states observe their new year in the months of March and April. In the process of changing the New Year, France became the first country to implement the modifications in New Year's celebrations. This calendar established January 1 as the beginning of the New Year. Even India celebrates this day with a variety of jokes and humorous programmes. It extends its observance to several parts of the world. Nevertheless, before you know the reason, let's go back to the enjoyable time of year.

The Sun in Taurus clashes with Pluto in Aquarius on the same day, and obsessive thoughts can bubble up to the surface. You may also be rehashing some of your ideas or an area of interest to study. The Sun enters Taurus on April 20 and you’re ready to spend more time with friends and connect with those you hold dear in your heart. This is your season to self-express and communicate what’s been in your heart and on your mind. More exciting news arrives on April 7 when Venus in Taurus dances with Neptune in Pisces. This generally marks a positive period between you and your loved ones.

But some stabilization on deposit flows and improving trends, particularly among regional and community banks, could go a long way in shoring up confidence in the banking system and economy, which could also help the market. If the Fed sees proof of this, it could create a path for the Fed to eventually cut rates, which could certainly get the market going. That said, I don't think the market wants to see too sudden of a rise in unemployment because that could spark fears of a more intense recession. In February, the CPI rose 0.4% on a monthly basis and was up 6% year over year, which was pretty much in line with what economists had been expecting. Powell has consistently said that the Fed needs to see cracks in the incredibly strong labor market because that has kept demand high and enabled consumers to essentially spend through the large increase in consumer prices. But the Fed is still unhappy with the results.

That record of pretentious journalism – a cousin of Private Eye’s Pseuds Corner – did not seem to detect the self-deprecation in “The proto-earthly intensity of the sub-Monostrovian narrative remains visibly, uncomfortably stratified”. The film pages in this newspaper were on board for a good portion of the current century. In 1999 the Guardian returned to San Serriffe to discover a “vibrant nation transformed by a visionary leader”. The title is an anagram of “April Fools”. Nobody needs to pull journalists away from the British Leyland dispute to compose a many-paged supplement on an imaginary island nation. General MJ Pica, the country’s dictator, is “named after a unit of measurement in type”. It says something about British dietary habits in the Macmillan era that millions believed pasta might grow on trees and that it might be susceptible to the “spaghetti weevil”. For decades, newspapers and broadcasters have joined in what I am required to call “the fun” (or, still worse, “the cra*c”). On April 1st, 2005, Michael Dwyer, my predecessor as film correspondent, published a “six-star” review of a non-existent film called Sail-Proof Lady. But the modern mode really seems to have kicked in with the BBC’s notorious “spaghetti tree hoax” in 1957. You can “win two weeks in San Serriffe as the guest of James Hunt” (the cavalier racing driver had just beaten Nikki Lauda to the world championship). This column has learned the internet is suffering from dry rot and will cease to function by the end of the current decade.

Media and brands take chance to offer up some light relief, including Matt Hancock cheddar and an Oasis reunion.

In a fake press release, the dating app Tinder said it would be banning all images of people holding fish, and the language learning app Duolingo said it had partnered with the streaming service Peacock on a fake dating show called Love Language. In a tweet, it called on listeners to “add more to your cooking than just a knob of butter – include a knob of cheese, too”. There were also reports that some of Britain’s tallest buildings, including the BT Tower, were to be converted into wind turbines to help Britain reach net zero under radical climate plans secretly approved by the government.

The fortunate truth is that you have all the power in the world to change your perspective, take action, and fix these things.

Although the things you are worrying about currently are valid, you have to be honest with yourself about how much of a role you played in ending up where you are.

This is your reminder to honour what you’re feeling and to give them a glimpse of your internal landscape. ”The how” and “the why” is *not* for you to worry about, beautiful. On other days, you feel there are some more tears to cry. On some days, you feel like you’ve felt all that there is to feel. So, practise letting go of your false sense of control as a meditation as you begin to trust that the Universal plan is in fact working in your favour. This is the season to release that old story with love and with tenderness, to make positive changes and to shift into a new timeline with awareness. Here’s the thing, Libra: every relationship is special and every relationship brings with itself a unique flavour. You came here to embrace your uniqueness and inspire the rest of the world to shine in their light. Come back home to yourself today. You possess the power to create a slice of paradise exactly where you are, beautiful. But, where is your need to please everybody stemming from? Begin to trust the flow and where life's taking you towards.
