For Monday, April 18:

This year, you might act, only to wonder later if there was a more effective path. Consider taming your innate enthusiasm. If you are single, you want what you want. Of course it is good to know what you want, but perhaps you could be stomping on a valid tie. If you are attached, realize the impact of your unusual strength this year. Scorpio understands you better than you might like!
