all have one).

Aires 
(March
20 - April 18) Fire. Ruling
planet Mars. Top
This
is a potent time for you, Aries, especially
if you were born in March or have an
early Aries Ascendant. Those born in
April will feel these effects as well
but not quite so powerfully. Your life
in is important flux right now and you
are being shown the doorway to an entirely
different form of existence. Your ideals
are being tested and your workplace is
changing mightily but it is only fear
that holds you back from achieving excellence,
although it can't just be in the same
old rut anymore. Relationships with significant
others in your life are one key to your
transcendence throughout this period
and self-investigation is another. Pay
close attention to every thing that happens
to you at this time and you will discover
diamonds.
As the month begins, you are feeling the need for commitment to the yearnings
of your higher self. The outer world that can be seen surrounds you but is
never entirely representative of all that you are. You are in a paradoxical
position right now in which you are on the one hand quite social and out there
in the world of appearances and forms, while on the other you are coming from
a deeper place inside yourself that doesn't care at all about the world of
forms. You are acknowledging this unseen world inside you with every act of
yours right now, especially during the first few days of April.
The First Quarter Moon of April 2nd is a potent crux of this initial period.
You might encounter a compelling drive to concretize the mystical part of your
life with word and deed. What is going on for you in terms of outer world success
is dramatically appealing also, but not fully engaging without the spiritual
component that makes it all worthwhile. You see the drawbacks right now as
well as the positive side of what you are attempting, and it may be that you
will be forced to make some necessary course corrections before the first weekend
of the month draws to a close.
The Full Moon of the following week, taking place on Thursday, April 9th, is
even more powerful for you in this regard. This is a time when you are making
a strong stand for yourself no matter what. It is also a time when equally
you are being guided very definitely to include Spirit in your calculations.
This is also very magical in terms of partnership in your life, which is brought
to the fore at this juncture, as your time of metamorphosis continues. The
magnitude of the changes being thrust upon you right now can only be surmounted
when you proceed with faith in the benevolence of the universe to support you.
The Last Quarter Moon of Friday, April 17th, represent a time of transition
when many realizations are possible. The New Moon of Friday, April 24th, that
kicks off the final weekend of the month also has a lot to tell you. You are
learning how the relationships in your life help you to further refine your
own arc of development. This can be either a time of further struggles to realign
yourself to the necessity of your changes or else a positive, soothing time
of acceptance depending on how easily you can let go of that which no longer
serves you.
Taurus 
(April
19 - May 19) Earth. Ruling planet Venus. Top
This is an amazing and magical month for you, Taurus, a time when you could
find yourself reviewing some element of the past in order to increase your
understanding of the present. You are caught up in dream worlds that are profoundly
tangible from the standpoint of psychological truth, and not without their
correlation too in the so-called real world. Spiritual development accelerates
in the latter half of the month, and action seems coordinated with work that
is inner rather than outer. The time is right for gracefully moving through
some perhaps very thorny issues. Anything that has formerly been difficult
or perhaps even painful to confront directly takes on at this time its own
form of rare beauty. You win when you keep your eyes and your heart as wide
open as is humanly possible.
As the month begins, you are struggling to find yourself, and yet in another
sense no longer struggling. The world is your oyster right now all right but
not one that you can open. Instead you will disappear inside it for a while,
almost entirely losing yourself in the process. That is you are losing your
resemblance to the requirements of personality and ego, in spurts, while actively
maintaining your soul-orientation, which is an entirely different kettle of
fish.
The first few days of the month, around the crux represented by the First Quarter
Moon of Thursday, April 2nd, are simultaneously a form of trial and a passageway
to grace. A lot depends on how you look at things, and how much you resist
what is the natural flow of your life at this time. If that flow takes you
over a waterfall, so be it, you just have to let it happen. By all means keep
you head up and look around; pay careful attention to everything that happens
to you. But once you have, and have done your best, then the recommendation
is that you simply relax and let go.
The Full Moon of the following week, taking pace on Thursday, April 9th, represents
in some sense a summing up of these factors of change and release of control,
and also a departure into a more thoughtful and optimistic stance. You are
rewarded at this time for all the hard work of relaxing into necessity when
your destiny at this time simply rises up to meet you. This is perhaps more
than you were hoping for and also less, in the sense that nothing very profound
has changed except your attitude. The stars presage a graceful passage into
greater maturity of purpose that is awaiting you over the next two weeks and
on into the following month.
The Last Quarter Moon one week further on will undoubtedly provide additional
revelations. Then the New Moon in your sign that comes along on Friday, April
24th, represents a fresh start on life both within the mundane matrix of concrete
happenings, and in terms of the mystical. At this time, you are still feeling
the pull of the vast unseen world within you and all around you, but you might
also begin to come at your situation with a greater degree of satisfaction
and of allowing the mystical part of life to blend with the mundane more fully.
With this greater sense of integration of all your parts, top to bottom, the
joy arises of coming home at last.
Gemini 
(May
20 - June 20) Air. Ruling planet Mercury. Top
This is an important month of transition for you, Gemini. A thoughtful period
of philosophical wonderment, just passed, opens up in the present monthly cycle
into greater involvement with social goals and future plans. You sometimes
get what you wish for in this life, and right now is one of them. This is a
terrific month for you to visualize success in all manner of things. Be careful
what you wish for over the first half of April because your thoughts are extremely
powerful. It helps to remember that the basis for all that you say and do,
and are, comes from a deeper place than you are readily able to articulate.
As the month begins, you are riding the wave of energy from the New Moon toward
the end of last month in your sector of wishes and hopes and societal connection.
This New Moon energy comes to the group orientation area of your chart, and
with your ruler Mercury there as well, together with your natural affinity
for connection, you are likely to be networking like mad this first week of
April. This is also an excellent time to look ahead and to feel your way forward
into a future you can not only live with but for. There is an inner component
to your visioning at this time that you just cannot ignore. You are in a position
to really see your ships coming in, as long as you realize that what counts
for success for you right now must involve a powerful spiritual component as
well aw triumph on the material plane.
The First Quarter Moon of Thursday, April 2nd, represents the crucial moment
of this period, and a time when you will feel the impulse for dramatic change
and as well the sense of limitation that tells you what is concretely possible
in the here and now of the mundane world. You are both energized and frustratingly
held back at this juncture, but the tension is creative and fuel for the next
wave of progress.
At the time of the Full Moon one week further on, taking place on Thursday,
April 9th, there is a culmination of sorts in the arc of development that has
been in process since the time of the New Moon two weeks prior. This is an
amazing period when you will feel enthusiastic perspective shifts coming about
and when expansive travel plans of either the actual or the armchair variety
could be in the works as well.
This is also a time for more precisely tuning in to the mystical roots of your
being. This inner exploration might come to preoccupy you more and more, although
you are still connected socially to the outer world. You are likely to stay
firmly grounded in home and family concerns all the while.
By the time of the April 24th New Moon you are even more fully invested in
the dark spaces within you. There is a known and surface sense of self which
is more familiar, and yet which is entirely based on the vast underground chambers
of the psyche that poets dream about and that Jung attempted to traverse, and
these are the deep waters that you are navigating now with an important part
of yourself.
Cancer 
(June
21 - July 21) Water. Ruling planet is the Moon. Top
You are finding an opening where before none existed, Cancer. Information from
your own deep center over the past few weeks has provided the key, leading
to a revision of your stand on certain points and to a different and perhaps
more inclusive way of seeing home, family and tribe. This month, your career
and how you present yourself on the stage of public life become your focus.
The foundation that has been reestablishing itself within you becomes the stepping
stone to new awareness, presence and passion, and even to a larger concept
of intimacy. True intimate connection encompasses yourself as well as others,
and all the glorious and even the not so glorious parts of that Being that
you find inside.
As the month begins, you are feeling a strong commitment to career and outer
presentation and as well for communicating these intentions clearly and soberly
to others around you. This is obviously good for productivity and for achieving
your objectives and yet there is something else that motivates you. Although
you are in some sense all about business right now there is a powerful undertow
of mystical transformation that is operating around and through your focus
on outer world achievement.
This more subtle but equally potent energy for change urges you to see the
bigger picture of your deep inner working and to include partnership with significant
others into the arc of your own development. There are many rewards to be gained
if you accept the issues that come up for you in this area of relationships
and face them squarely.
The First Quarter Moon of Thursday, April 2nd, is a powerful one for you, and
takes you into some degree of tension in what you are attempting. At the same
time, what is also brought forward is a broader perspective on life and values
implied by your changing priorities.
The Full Moon that follows a week later, taking place on Thursday, April 9th,
represents a culmination of some part of your current struggle, and presents
you with much food for thought. Issues of self and other are likely to emerge.
You are exploring deep patterns within you at this time, especially regarding
the way you handle your relationship energy. A terrific first step toward progress
lies in recognizing what you habitually create on the relationship scene, perhaps
in an unconscious way.
The Last Quarter Moon of Friday, April 17th, provides yet another crucial passage,
when your relationship dynamic will again be on your mind, and when you will
be enabled to examine both the gains and the losses of the previous three weeks.
You will be well-placed to take advantage of the received insights.
With the New Moon of Friday, April 24th, you make a fresh start on these issues
and take another spiral turn up the mountain of your destiny. This is a great
time for visioning new possibilities into being, a time when you are also able
to transcend old patterns and reap the benefits of new ways of seeing your
world. With the changing perspective that is brought about by the summation
of the preceding weeks of careful attention, everything morphs in an instant.
Leo 
(July
22 - August 21) Fire. Ruling planet is the Sun. Top
This is a good month for tuning in to what really matters, Leo. This sense
of mission inevitably involves others in your life as important components
of your own journey of self-discovery. Through it all comes a vital realignment
of perspective, as your philosophy runs to catch up with your outreach. You
will begin to see another side of relationship with significant partners in
your life as the month unwinds, and to feel a strong sense of oceanic involvement
as well as the idea of the separation from goddess that seems true though painful
and which reflects that which must also exist between individuals. Reconciling
these paradoxical feelings is difficult and confusing, but well worth the investment
in energy and time. Depth and spiritual growth have no simple genesis but arrive
by mysterious routes.
As the month begins, you are embracing points of view other than your own,
possibly engaging in travel or at least mentally placing yourself within new
cultural perspectives. In addition to your predilection for adventuring by
traveling to foreign lands you may embark on a voyage through your own inner
landscape at this time, attempting to see how that process can enhance your
sense of who you are at core, and how you can more fully align with your deeper
spiritual values. A particular focus of transformational energy is the quest
to follow your highest purpose for yourself. Partnership concerns and issues
of intimacy are also extremely powerful for you right now, as they have been
for the last several months.
At the time of the First Quarter Moon, taking place on Thursday, April 2nd,
all these issues may come to a head, especially the mystical side of what you
are about with regard to the changes that you are going through.
The Full Moon follows a week later, on Thursday, April 9th, and you might find
yourself coming to some definite conclusions concerning the way you see the
world around you and the relationships for you that lie within it. This configuration
represents a powerful surge of optimism, especially regarding the significant
partnerships in your life, and also brings out a powerful inner urge for communication
and sharing. This is also still a period for getting your own act together
as a primary priority.
The Last Quarter Moon taking place a week later, on Friday, April 17th, will
be a time of potential trial when perspectives alter and you might begin to
see the forest instead of the trees. You are also coming to grips right now
with the ways in which relationship with others serves your own spiritual evolution.
The New Moon of Friday, April 24th, represents a fresh start for you in the
affairs of the outer world. You are reaping the benefits of compassionate partnership
at this time. This brings you closer to Spirit and to your own inner workings
but leaves you potentially confused and out of touch with the consensus brand
of reality that is also your current focus. The secret is integration of all
your disparate parts, easier said than done but a worthy goal to keep in your
mind's eye as you launch yourself into the next cycle.
Virgo 
(August
22 - September 21) Earth. Ruling planet Mercury. Top
Welcome to the transformational stew, Virgo. This month represents a time when
many factors in your life could alter, or receive different emphasis. You are
very busy right now finding new worlds to conquer, all within the scope of
your own inner imagination. You might emerge at the end of this period as the
butterfly you were always intended to be, although in the meantime it proves
more difficult the more you try to hold on to your outmoded caterpillar stage
rather than simply letting go of it. It's a trust fall backwards with eyes
closed and only your faith to relax you, whispering to your sleeping mind that
the universe is out there beneath you somewhere, more than ready to hold you
up.
As the month begins you may well feel the pressure of your current placements
toward metamorphosis. The New Moon from the last week of the previous month
took place in your sector of personal transformation and intimacy, and during
the first half of April you have a unique opportunity to seize the day and
make it your own. Although you have been diligent over this entire year in
pursuing your objectives, there is a doorway into a further opportunity that
is opening for you right now that is unique. You are being asked to step up
to the plate and swing away, in line with your wildest fantasy of what you
could become, and to ground that ideal with a healthy sense of the practical
limitations that equally constrain your efforts. It is important that you take
the idealistic into account along with the practical. You just can't have progress
right now without relying on both sides of this equation.
The First Quarter Moon of Thursday, April 2nd, represents a crucial fulcrum
when you will be tested in some way to see what part of the impulse from the
previous New Moon survives and is allowed to mature. You are feeling the pinch,
but your optimism right now is as compelling as your sense of limitation. You
are taking important partnerships in your life more fully into account and
your family, as well as the community that nurtures you. It is a truism that
you can't raise a child without a village to support their development, and
the same is true of you these days.
The Full Moon a week later, taking place on Thursday, April 9th, in your sector
of values and resources, confirms this basic fact and allows your agenda for
yourself to flower. You are reaching for your highest purpose right now in
order to discover your unique contribution, feeling the urge to be the best
that you can be.
The New Moon of the last week of the month, coming along on Friday, April 24th,
is another key moment and a kickoff for a more inclusive viewpoint in your
next phase. If there are doubts that hold you back, these could also yield.
You benefit from the support and advice you receive from partners on your journey.
It helps to remember that your fears are only as real as you make them, and
that getting in touch with them is the first step to transcending their power.
As the sages have said, it is wise to "follow your fear" and see
just where it might lead you.
Libra 
(September
22 - October 22) Air. Ruling planet Venus. Top
Life is full of change and change itself is life for you right now, Libra.
Your home scene is morphing in important ways, and you can feel the foundations
crumbling and rearranging themselves beneath your feet. Partnership is powerful
and helps you to find your own way through. You are in the midst of a process
of review and revision, deciding the true meaning of relationship in your life,
and your journey of exploration will repeat until you get it. There are colorful
illusions to work through and some painful realizations also, but in the end
as a result of your wanderings you will be not only wiser but also lighter
and happier.
As the month begins, you are exploring how relationship works in your life.
This is nothing new; relationship has always been a natural fascination of
yours. But since your ruler, Venus, is in retrograde through your relationship
sector right now, at this point you are investigating aspects of the way you
connect with important others in your life in a new way, looking under the
covers of your motivation for the hidden meaning. This is a noble endeavor
and will take you where you need to, in spite of appearances at times.
The First Quarter Moon of Thursday, April 2nd, represents the crux of these
changes and challenges. You are finding that not everything can go as you wish
although perhaps it will go as it needs to go for your eventual progress. Through
it all comes a better idea of what you are up to with the significant partnerships
in your life, and how these connections shape you and simultaneously provide
the foil for self-determination. The energy that you have for others in your
life is transforming in some unexplored fashion and you are wise to await developments
and not to push the river at this time.
A form of resolution is achieved with the Full Moon of Thursday, April 9th.
You are perhaps somewhat stressed out with the changes, but you are still fundamentally
optimistic at this juncture, and seeking a synthesis that takes you beyond
the polarity between the ideal and the practical that has lately framed much
of the debate inside your head. The good news is that you can have both these
sides if you are prepared to abandon strict categories in favor of a general
trust in the beneficence of the surrounding universe and its power to sustain
you.
The Last Quarter Moon of Friday, April 17th, represents another potentially
dicey time when you are called upon to reconcile your desires with what is
concretely possible. Even as you lose portions of this battle you gain in understanding.
There is also the potential at this time for fears to come up in how you might
move forward, independent of the voices from childhood that describe your insufficiency.
You win and are able to surmount your conditioning when you face these issues
squarely and take it all in without judgment or feelings of victimhood.
The New Moon that comes along a week later, on Friday, April 24th, represents
a fresh start and a new way forward into wholeness.
Scorpio 
(October
23 - Nov 21) Water. Ruling planets Mars, Pluto. Top
A good month for magic and possibilities, Scorpio. You are strong on service
at this time, and for catching at least a glimpse of who you might become when
you finally grow up. Mystical madness at the very core of your being also has
you dreamy and confused. Partnership is a powerful tool for you right now,
and reveals yourself to you as made up more of inner than of outer resources.
Your imagination is functioning in overdrive and you are very sensitive to
the big picture universe that surrounds you. This is wonderful, but can be
hard on the rational mind that wants explanations and is dissatisfied with
paradox. If you keep trying you will get to a form of answer in order to bridge
the logical gap.
As the month begins, you are reinventing yourself along more self-empowered
lines. You are tuning in to where you need to be in pursuing your life goals,
aligning yourself with the universe and with your piece of it. This is very
exciting, as you seek to come to terms with some issues that have been a struggle
in the past. You are looking for a place to stand where you can move your world,
one that serves your highest purpose for yourself going forward in a practical
way, and also perhaps in some hitherto unexplored fashion serves humankind
as well.
The First Quarter Moon of Thursday, April 2nd, brings these considerations
to a head. This is a time when you will see which of your impulses from the
imaginings at the time of the New Moon are truly viable. You are deadly serious
about where you are headed right now, and so it is wise to remember to also
incorporate a sense of play in what you are attempting. This gives you the
opportunity to step back for perspective on what you are up to. You are constrained
by necessity, but it needn't be dire.
With the Full Moon a week later, taking place on Thursday, April 9th, comes
the determination to succeed at all costs, together with surprising epiphany
and more than coincidental successes that also enable your striving with renewed
courage and optimism. Every time you become overly serious, as an antidote
you might draw on your basic faith in the capability of the universe to sustain
you, which is very present for you right now.
The Last Quarter Moon of Friday, April 17th, brings these matters into sharper
relief and gives you additional perspective on them. This is a remarkable juncture,
when you see the goal very clearly and even the path to get you there, and
when only your own thoughts of insufficiency can hold you back. These may be
based on outmoded patterns of behavior from childhood that no longer serve
any useful purpose for you in your maturity. These dark fantasies can haunt
you until you face them squarely and accept them as parts of yourself, deserving
of a place at your table. You are reevaluating nearly everything at this time,
including the significant relationships in your life, seeing new ways they
fit into the bigger picture of where you are headed.
The New Moon of the last weekend of the month, taking pace on Friday, April
24th, presents you with a fresh start in this area, and helps you to integrate
the lessons of the previous cycle.
Sagittarius 
(Nov
22 - Dec 20) Fire. Ruling planet Jupiter. Top
This is a mystical month for you, Sagittarius, in the midst of a mystical year.
Your communication is fuzzy and dream-like and takes into account a wider sense
of reality than the merely mundane. You could in fact learn more about what
you are up to while asleep these days than when waking, and are likely to tune
in to various threads of the beyond within the subtle currents embedded in
ordinary conversation. You benefit when you keep your eyes and ears wide open
and when you refuse to pre-judge anything at all that comes your way. Your
sense of self is enhanced by ongoing fundamental changes in outlook and direction
brought about through the agency of revelation.
As the month begins, you are feeling your way toward a new beginning on several
fronts. You are in some important sense reinventing yourself at this time,
and as you do so, taking into account the agency of Spirit in your life. You
are extremely focused right now on your work in the world, as distinct from
inner work, and yet there is a way that these very different aspects of your
existence mesh and feed off of one another. Another sector of your life that
is up for you right now is that of relationship with significant partners.
You are reviewing at perhaps an almost unconscious level the impact of others
upon you and how your outreach is a reflection of your own personal evolution
consistent with spiritual principles.
The First Quarter Moon of Thursday, April 2nd, is powerful for you, and brings
you closer in touch with your home base, as well as with important others in
your life. You are feeling keenly the thrust of transformation both with respect
to your own individual arc of development and for your energy for relating.
The Full Moon a week further on, coming on Thursday, April 9th, is magical
and promotes synthesis of the many sides of your life. You are a strong stand
for yourself at this time, and are destined for good and productive changes
stepping forward into the future. The demands of your workplace are if anything
greater than ever, but you have the stamina to withstand this pressure, especially
when you keep it firmly in your mind that you are building for a future that
you can really live with.
With the Last Quarter Moon of Friday, April 17th, you are pulled once more
toward the inside. It helps to recognize that inner and outer are but two sides
of the same coin, even though they appear to be different. You can't have one
without the other. You are still committed to the struggle for outer achievement,
but a more informed viewpoint is growing within you that most of your progress
is in some way not strictly up to you. Notions concerning partnership come
into play here, as well as revised ideas for where you are truly headed in
this lifetime.
With the New Moon of the final weekend of the month, taking place on Friday,
April 24th, you are ready to push off in new directions, with the confidence
that comes from soul building, and in alignment with the deeper principles
that inform your life's journey.
Capricorn 
(Dec
21 - Jan 19) Earth. Ruling planet Saturn. Top
Your times they are a'changing Capricorn, once again. Your transformation continues
apace in the current month, and in this period involves some serious rethinking
of your public presence in the world and how you come across to others around
you. Home and family concerns are also on the front burner at this time and
help you to further refine and define your position. Your values are in flux,
and subject to some deep concerns, as illusion and also confusion interfere
with a dry and logical approach that has always worked in the past. You are
coming into a new way of seeing your world that takes Spirit as its guiding
light, and a series of potentially trying realizations lose the pain of their
impact once you accept this as basic.
As the month begins, your life is more in flux than ever, in spite of recent
attempts at stabilization. You are feeling the transformational possibilities
for yourself quite strongly these days in the wake of the Aries New Moon from
the last week of March. With Venus retrograde as well, relationships too have
their season of metamorphosis right now, particularly so in terms of family
ties that may be strained. If so, this is a good time to watch and wait, and
not to try to make things happen in any particular fashion, or to rock the
boat any further.
The First Quarter Moon of Thursday, April 2nd, provides greater momentary tension
that could serve you as the catalyst for changes in your own future best interest.
You may find that perspective shifts will be to your advantage right now, and
also communicating your truth to friends.
This outreach bears fruit with the Full Moon of the following week, taking
place on Thursday, April 9th. This is a time when a fundamental sense of optimism
pervades your being, along with the remaining tensions of reinventing yourself
and your worldview, and helps you weather the storm of circumstance. You are
feeling the energy of a new phase, even as you consolidate your position.
The Last Quarter Moon of Friday, April 17th, in your sign is in some sense
a preparation for further expansion, but by means of reigning in some factor
of your existing are of development that doesn't prove to be a fit. This is
a bit like pruning a rose bush before the advent of the next growth spurt,
increasing the opportunity for re-blossoming.
You may find that you have some habitual behaviors to contend with at this
time, perhaps the result of ancient wounds from early childhood. You gain in
integrated self-sufficiency the more that you can face these old patterns and
recognize their influence but not their power to compel you. With a modicum
of surrender and giving over to grace you can find the wisdom to respond with
thoughtful evaluation rather than reactivity.
The New Moon of the following week, taking place on Friday, April 24th, represents
a fresh start on finding yourself anew, and for enjoying the increasing sense
of wholeness that is there for you to discover inside.
Aquarius 
(Jan
20 - Feb 18) Air. Ruling planets Uranus, Saturn. Top
You are entering into a period of new awareness and accompanying transformation,
Aquarius. Communication with others around you is key, and enthusiastic, and
takes place within subtle affinities of higher mind as well as on a more mundane
level. Mystical information comes your way mysteriously during the course of
this month's journey. You are dwelling in the paradox whether or not you are
fully able to articulate this or even to acknowledge it. You are being not
so much tested as thrown into the limitless ocean of possibility to see where
and how you might bob up to the surface. You'll be amazed, amused, and perhaps
just a bit confused. Whichever way you slice it, you'll also be changed forever.
As the month begins you are finding your footing through outreach to others
around you in written and spoken word. You are going through some major changes
and it can be both exhilarating and confusing. This also might be a good occasion
for journaling as a way of coming into touch with your experience these days.
In one way, you are finding solace and strength in connection with others while
in another you are finding that the road you are destined to walk is yours
and yours alone. This makes for a conundrum, and the tendency of your logical
mental process is to reject it. The soul, which thrives on paradox, accepts
these ideas willingly. It is tricky steering a middle course between sense
and what is after all beyond sense, but that seems to be your path right now.
With the First Quarter Moon of Thursday, April 2nd, you are temporarily caught
up in the details of daily life and focused on practical matters to the exclusion
of the wilder fantasies that also grip you at this time. You are feeling the
tension of opposites that seem to conflict according to the mundane world of
schedules and appointments. Synthesis may be missing for a time.
The Full Moon a week later, taking place on Thursday, April 9th, may serve
to restore a semblance of balance to your world. There is a fundamental optimism
that shines through for you at this moment and that makes the difficult seem
easy. This is a powerful time for you. All through this period you are scaling
the mountain of your personal evolution and finding whatever gems along the
way that you have the time to savor. It continues to be very interesting to
see how others contribute to your forward motion but are in no way able to
fully define what you are up to.
The Last Quarter Moon of Friday, April 17th, marks another period of tension
and of reconciling what you ideally want to achieve with what is concretely
possible. This actually represents a form of preparation for breakthrough.
With the New Moon of the last weekend of the month, that comes along on Friday,
April 24th, you are entering a new phase in which you are still dealing with
the contrast between soul-level and mundane realities, but from the standpoint
of a viewpoint that is more spiritually motivated.
Pisces 
(Feb
19 - March 19) Water. Ruling planets Neptune, Jupiter. Top
You are living the mystery, Pisces. The month begins quietly for you but gains
momentum as the transformation of your societal connection persists. Partnership
continues to be an important component and to provide many lessons, not least
of which is to appreciate the hurt as well as the joy that stems from within.
You are learning to sort out yours from theirs and to trust in your own power.
Your future plans are changing, and not because of any outside circumstances
or something beyond your control. If you've learned anything over these past
few weeks it's that you are a full participant in what the universe has in
store for you. You might not steer the ship but you definitely supply the entire
cast and crew and the reason for the voyage.
As the month begins, you are exploring inner worlds as you are in any case
wont to do, but this time with more direct focus of attention. Your vales are
shifting as you suffer the fluctuations of your bank balance tune and in to
changing priorities. You have loads of energy for making something happen in
your life right now, although you could also feel constrained by circumstance
and perceived limitation. The question is where to place your efforts and the
answer might surprisingly come to you without any real conscious effort on
your part. You win the more you can let go and allow yourself to trust in the
quality of your intuition.
With the First Quarter Moon of Thursday, April 2nd, you are feeling your way
toward a powerful conclusion. You are challenging yourself right now, and making
progress on finding out what not to attempt. How you move forward has an entirely
different meaning for you now than it did only a few short weeks ago, but this
might be a good thing.
The Full Moon a week later, taking place on Thursday, April 9th, is an important
time for you, when things could become clearer and when your natural optimism
could be a huge factor in seeing you through. Your spirit guides are helping
you to find a third way, a path straight between the horns of your potential
dilemma. You are in some ways quite isolated, and yet in other ways you are
finding that it is important to rely on others. The one thing that cannot be
borrowed is your own sense of where you are heading. That you must develop
for yourself, and in your own time.
The Last Quarter Moon taking place on Friday, April 17th, puts your feet to
the fire once more and proves stimulating for invention. You may feel that
you have to take the accumulated knowledge of what has gone before to make
your own determination of what will ultimately work for you. There might be
some confusion connected with your apparent separation from what you feel is
the guiding hand of Spirit even as you realize that it is actually there for
you in subtle form.
With the New Moon of Friday, April 24th comes a better and more expansive sense
of self and the feeling of having come through. You benefit from a sense of
integration the stability of knowing that no matter how hard the wind may blow
your boat cannot capsize.

Overview
of the Planets this month: Top
The
Astrology of April features Venus,
Mars, Neptune and Pluto. The issues
of limitation represented by Saturn
must also be mentioned as a factor,
because it remains in singular position,
in Virgo, across the Zodiac from all
the rest of the planets as it has for
months. Mars is currently traveling
through the opposite sign – Pisces – and
will oppose Saturn from April 1st through
April 6th, symbolizing the crux of
a period of time during which we will
accomplish what we are attempting,
but with greater difficulty, and also
with results that will be longer lasting
and provide important lessons.
The New Moon from the end of last month squared Pluto, and as April begins
and then again as it ends, Venus also squares Pluto. The transformational energy
of Pluto therefore colors the entire month. Pluto in Capricorn represents necessary
albeit painful restructuring. This gets harder when we refuse to let go and
instead try to hang on to a dysfunctional past.
Neptune is featured in these April skies as well, especially as a participant
in a forming triple conjunction with Jupiter and Chiron. This symbolism is
full of healing potential, and perfects after the end of the month. In the
first week of April, as these planets draw nearer to each other, we begin to
feel the effects in terms of greater spiritual commitment and also in terms
of recognition of the places within ourselves where we feel a sense of separation
from the divine. With Jupiter's presence, only now beginning to join Neptune
and Chiron, the effect is magnified. This essentially refers to the existential
pain of the human condition, and we can learn much about ourselves and our
situation throughout this month and the next.
By the time of the April 24th New Moon, which aspects these planets, their
separation from each other is only two degrees for Jupiter and less than half
a degree for Chiron-Neptune, so making this a focal point of a period when
we might more fully tune in to the energy of healing and of a sense of oneness
with the universe. There is healing available to us and it can come through
our imagination if we honor this important function, and if we keep open to
the potency of the cosmos, which is also the potency within us.
Venus is also extremely active right now and is in retrograde. She disappeared
as the Evening Star last month around the time of the Spring Equinox, on March
20th, and reappears as the Morning Star with her Heliacal Rise on April 3rd.
Since Venus rises in Aries, this is a powerful time for Venus energy, the beginning
of a year and a half of a more masculine-oriented and empowered feminine spirit.
As Venus returns to direct motion on April 17th, she also conjuncts Mars, further
emphasizing this empowerment from midmonth onward. As mentioned earlier, Venus
is also square Pluto both as the month begins and at the time of the April
24th New Moon. Venus square Pluto and conjunct Mars is a strong Venus who will
let nothing stand in her way.
We are seeing the return of the strong feminine as we did in the sixties when
women burned their bras and protested the Vietnam War, and we are likely to
see different but equivalent activity over the next few years. This feminine
force will obviously be needed to aid in healing this country and the world,
so badly damaged in recent years by warfare and greed, which can be conceived
as runaway masculine energies. There is now hope as well as difficulty. We
have a hard road to follow but at the end of our journey will be greater understanding,
love and compassion.
Current Moon Configurations
April 2nd First Quarter Moon
The First Quarter Moon is generally speaking a time of trials, when "the
rubber meets the road" and we are able to see which of the dreams and
schemes that we have been imagining since the last New Moon are likely to come
to fruition. This month's configuration is extremely powerful, since Venus
is also retrograde and square to Pluto, while the Sun and Moon in tense aspect
connect with a forming Mars – Saturn opposition. It will be difficult
to bring about what we strive for, but what we do accomplish will have long-lasting
impact.
April 9th Full Moon
This Full Moon, like the ones of the last few months also, triggers the now-widening
Saturn – Uranus opposition which is also catalyzed by Mars in Pisces.
Mars conjuncts Uranus and occupies a degree that is midway between these antithetical
planetary heavyweights. The Sun and Moon in their opposition aspect Mars to
within a few minutes of a degree, by semi-sextile and inconjunct. The keyword
for these aspects is "adjustment." We may well see the further unfolding
of transformation in our own lives and in the life of our culture, surrounding
the crux of this time period.
April 17th Last Quarter Moon
This lunar phase has been termed a "crisis in consciousness" in which
important realizations are made, taking the place of hoped-for events; a time
when we can more easily see what serves the interest of our higher selves going
forward and what doesn't. This configuration is graced by a triple conjunction
of retrograde Venus, Mars and Uranus, sextiled by the Moon. This is a fairly
explosive combination, and we might expect that relationship insights will
rain down upon us whether we are entirely ready for them or not.
April 24th New Moon
This powerful Taurus New Moon has its ruler, Venus, once more in square aspect
to Pluto, indicating a time of transformational insight and activity. Venus
is direct now, and conjunct Mars in Aries, although this configuration will
not perfect until June. From late April until late June, as Venus regains momentum,
Venus and Mars remain within orb of a conjunction. This New Moon therefore
ushers in a weeks-long time of exploring our partnership energy. We will find
renewed appreciation for the important relationships in our lives and also
question our motivations regarding them, so that at the end of this period
we may be not only happier but wiser as well.
