When you have a Balance Day in a sign that's known for compassion, the universe steps up to wave a white flag. The lessons have been learned. Life's tests are all passed, and now you are ready to catch a breath, realizing all that's happened.
Monday's balanced energy is perfect for social activities and extending an olive branch to others. If you have someone you've hurt or who has hurt you, today is the day to call a truce. Days like this are when debts are repaid and emotional slates are wiped clean.
1. Goat

You've felt lonely at times, but on April 27, you start to open yourself up to company. Initially, you've enjoyed the solitude. Being by yourself allows you to think and get down to who you are at your core, but there comes a point where your own voice is stifled, and you need something external to spark new ideas and fresh perspectives.
A friend or a coworker, anyone, as long as they are a deep thinker, gives you a place to see the world through fresh eyes. It's not easy to find someone to enter your life who has the perfect combination of challenge and agreeableness. Yet, you discover another person in your life has been lonely, too.
You're the perfect pair, and the energy feels balanced and pure. You say what you want, and they return the favor. Lighthearted conversations help you to feel just right about life. You're not facing hard times anymore.
2. Pig

On April 27, you're looking at how to improve the ergonomics of your living space. A renovation seems too expensive right now, so moving furniture will have to do. You've had to live with clutter, making you feel like your home isn't a place where you can relax, yet switching this and that makes the space more open. You realize you like being minimalistic.
Pig, you enjoy having less in your personal space. You can give a few items away. You won't be stubbing your toe in the night anymore! The change in space makes life more open and inviting. You knew that you had more than you needed, only now you've proved it. The eye sores are gone and hard times now can cease.
3. Ox

Ox, there are things in your life that you know have to happen. You've toyed around with the idea of commitment a few times, but you also like having control of your time. On April 27, you start thinking that maybe it's better to be in a committed relationship. Not for economic reasons, and not because you're lonely or need to feel complete. You want someone to give your love to.
You like the idea of showing a person you care. You aren't seeking ways to take from a person but to make their life better. This one shift in your thinking opens the door to deeper intimacy and better relationships with others. Your partner sees it, and if you're single, others feel it. Being single is now an option, not a battle cry. The weight is off your soul, and the hardness around your heart softens.
4. Dog

You've always wanted to travel, but there's always been an excuse not to. It's tough to take a day off from work. The cost is expensive, or it seemed like going later would be the better choice. However, travel is good for you, and it may just be exactly what you need to get out of the hard times you've been in.
This is a great day to finally start planning. The problem isn't now when, but now it's with whom. Knowing that you're switching gears from maybe-er to planner makes seeing others' adventures less insulting. You view them with curiosity on Monday, wanting to learn what's worked and what hasn't. Now you're looking forward to the future.
