In the Stars for April

in the Stars for April
April’s showers bring May’s flowers, a nice saying for this time of year. Here are the currents in the celestial skies this spring season. The Sun in Aries shines forth with exuberance to meet the day head-on with energetic outbursts this encourages us to put plans and projects forward in our lives. As we awaken from the sleepy slumber of winter.
Aries Sun sign people are dynamic, ardent, passionate individuals. They can be highly competitive, seeking the limelight in any field. Fearlessly, they move about their business pursuing their interests boldly and impetuously as they are headstrong and quick thinking. They are likely to be impatient in wanting fast quick results and may not finish their projects. However, they move forward with confidence to see things through. They can be outspoken, aggressive, and argumentive so they need to channel their anger in a useful way. They like outdoor sports, golf, tennis, and auto racing some do like indoor hobbies. They need to have the persistence to follow through and the ambition to move forward. Some just need a good pat on the back type of supportiveness which they seek from their friends. Happy Birthday, Aries!  This should be a productive month for you since there is only one major aspect to your Sun and that is Pluto in Capricorn which is going retrograde later this month. A big shift and transformation for those born in mid-April as Pluto forms a square to your Sun challenging you to change but you rest assured that you have the time to work on this until October.
