In the Stars for April

In the Stars for April

The spring season brightens up the northern hemisphere with an array of blossoms everywhere, the temperatures getting warmer and the gardening season begins. The transiting Sun in Aries moves us into a more active solar month. Aries is a fire sign representative of the first impulse or seed of life, springs us forward through the zodiac for another new cycle.

Keywords for Arians, who ruled by Mars, are ambition, enthusiasm, and a self -centered pioneering spirit.  Aries Sun signs can be full of joy, yet forceful regarding their opinions and drives. These folks are full of courage and adventurous. In relationships they prefer independence, can be competitive and aggressive with a blunt yet direct manner of communication. They tell it like they see it. They are go-getters, fearless, impetuous and headstrong. They can perform daring deeds, work on multiple projects which they may leave for others to finish so they can be better at leadership rather than follow through. They love activity and sports.  Happy Birthday, Aries!  The times are changing and you will be challenged to change perhaps your self-centered ways as both Saturn and Pluto urge you to take a good look at yourself and transform yourself like the butterfly. Keep busy and growing is the key to success this year. Saturn will transit into Aquarius March 2020 this will bring relief to today’s challenges.

The Planetary Aspects for April

1rst, week April 1-7^th, Mercury is moving direct in the water sign Pisces, this is a good week to start new projects or plans as the New Moon energizes us April 5^th in the fire sign, Aries. Charging forward is the keyword this weekend.

2^nd week, April 8^th-14^th, Jupiter the planet of expansion and growth moves into retrograde from April through Aug. 12^th, 2019, perhaps a long inward journey for the ones who are more introspective. Expect more growth in the areas of education, philosophy, charity, any action that helps one another, adventures travels and perhaps more wisdom employed with our communications with others.  Jupiter in Sagittarius the sign of dignity broadens the scope of our morals, idealism and religion. Grow from within is the keyword for the next 5 months as we search for the truth. The First Quarter Moon in the emotional water sign Cancer helps with domestic tasks this weekend. This is a good time to start to grow your new projects, perhaps within the garden as this moon encourages us to put more love and nurturance into things.

3^rd week, April 15-21, Mercury moves into the fire sign Aries picking up speed and leaving behind those wintery, spacy, emotional distortions of the past month and bringing in better thought processes and expressions of ideas.  However, watch out for impatience and impulsive actions. The Full Moon illuminates the sky April 19^th in the harmony seeking air sign Libra. A good time to resolve communication problems, negotiate and find good solutions for all concerned.  On April 20^th, the Sun shifts into the practical earth sign Taurus, changing to a more mellow vibration and Venus who rules over relationships and love moves into adventurous fire sign, Aries, we must temper the courage and aggression of Venus in Aries with the practical sensual temperament of the Sun in Taurus these next few weeks, rather than continue to throw fire on our tempers. Competitive sports help engage energy that needs to be re-directed. We finish this weekend with two major holidays of Passover and Easter.

4^th week, April 22-30th, We start this week with Earth Day celebrations, Pluto moves into its annual retrograde motion, this is a big shift which does bring in stronger forces of change, death, and transformation. All things must pass, meaning this can be a finishing up cycle for the next 6 months ending Oct. 3^rd, 2019, on whatever needs to be changed revamped and restructured as Pluto is in Saturn’s sign Capricorn.  The bigger picture shows us that some of our governments ruled by Capricorn will be changing, new types of banking systems will be put in place thus changing the way we organize our societies which will follow in the few years up ahead, as Pluto conjoins its natal position of the USA natal chart that being 27 degrees Capricorn.  Saturn in Capricorn known as father time will also turn retrograde motion on April 29^th within 3-degree orb of Pluto’s retrograde, this can bring in a powerful change on the planet on this last week.  The forces of disruption, structure, and organization will motivate us to create something new, practical and efficient while these planets are in Capricorn.

And that’s the forecast for April know that you can choose how you use the energies rather than be ruled by them.

Peace and Blessings
