It is awful that it is so socially acceptable to lie in our culture that we actually have a day set aside to "celebrate" and play pranks.
Here is the general astrology forecast for April:
April is a very intense month with Pluto stationing, Mercury going retrograde, Saturn moving back into Virgo and Saturn opposite Uranus, and very few hours of the moon being void of course. Hold on for the ride, it should be interesting. April begins with the Moon in secretive Scorpio giving a cutting and mysterious combination for April fools day. Jokes can have an “I gotcha back” feeling. The universe might have a joke or two in mind for us that are deep and mysterious.
The energy that starts our month is best used for focusing on a hobby you feel passionate about. This vibration gives strength and courage to go after what you want in spite of any obstacles in your way. The big lesson this month will be there is no moment like the present.
The length of the void of course moons are very short this month. This indicates life will be moving very fast. Friday the second Mercury enters Taurus and the Moon enters Sagittarius; beliefs are firmly grounded and fought for. Not a pleasant combination when considering the shadow side of the energy and the day being Good Friday in the Christian calendar (suicide bombers willing to fight and die for beliefs).
Travel is good for Easter weekend, getting out of the normal routine and seeing something new and different will bring hope and optimism to your life. Pluto is retrograde on the 6th. Pluto is very powerful and the energy is heightened on this day. Meditate and tap into this vibration to increase your intuition and own personal power. April 7th Saturn moves back into Virgo and will give us the opportunity to put into our daily routine good health habits, change our diet for the better, and recommit to an exercise program.
The new moon on the 14th is our annual Aries reminder to seek our own inner warrior and develop courage to take risk needed to have the life we want. Mercury is retrograde April 18th until May 11th. With Mercury’s slow journey through Taurus thinking is slowed down to mull over thoughts every which way to be sure that what you are thinking is really what you value. The Sun enters Taurus on the 20th and with the moon in Cancer it is a perfect day to honor the Sun’s journey in Taurus with gratitude towards nature and wholesome food. Earth day, on the 22nd, the moon is in Leo giving us a fun day to play.
Friday the 23rd Venus is square Neptune, connect with your inner artist and enjoy an outing that is creative. Venus moves into Gemini on Sunday the 25th, the value of friendship and communication is given to us from Venus in Gemini. This is time to reconnect with friends and keep it light. Relationships will move towards a lighter less possessive feel. If you feel challenged with jealousy or neediness in your relationship you can learn from Venus in Gemini who teaches the value of communication and how to lighten up and feel good.
The full moon on the 28th has Mercury conjunct the Sun, a deep energy asking us to connect with our higher self. Self discovery and healing work done on this day will be very powerful. If you feel stuck in life use this energy to meditate and receive answers to a concern. Dreams will be very powerful, keep your dream journal handy to record the messages. The month ends with the moon in Sagittarius springing us into May with hope and optimism.
for Sagittarius
Spring has Sprung! Astrologically, April is the month of renewal and new beginnings as a new zodiacal year begins with the Spring Equinox and we are ready to charge out into the world!
This year, however, with Saturn in Libra and Pluto in Capricorn, we can expect obstacles and delays before we are able to settle down. Venus, located in indulgent Taurus, will make for passion and great enthusiasm, as it joins hands with flamboyant Mars in Leo, and then get ready for magical moments with a few sparks flying around April 5, when it slinks into a sexy and seductive trine to Pluto.
However, the light-hearted mood will not last long. Pluto turns retrograde on April 2 signalling in a time for new beginnings and dead ends. Retrograde Saturn, the planet of duty, discipline and hard work, also reverses into Virgo on April 7 to make sure that we have learned the lessons of realism and discipline that Saturn has been trying to teach us for the last two years. This is a good time to get serious about a new a new fitness regime and an even better time to streamline work methods.
Expect a fair amount of burning the candle at both ends with the the energetic Aries New Moon on the 14 since temptation-heavy Venus will not put up with all work and no play. On April 17, Mercury turns retrograde in Taurus for the second time this year, so be prepared and use your knowledge of how to work with Mercury retrograde periods
to make your life easier.
As the Sun moves of out impatient and hyper-active Aries into earthy Taurus on the 20, we will all feel a shift in gears -- the pace will become slower and there will more solid achievements. A favourable Sun trine Pluto on the 23 will give us the opportunity to empower ourselves and realize that we can overcome our own hurdles and be masters of our own destiny.
And lastly there will be a Saturn in Virgo opposition Uranus in Pisces to contend with on April 26. Oppositions are planets sitting exactly across from each other on the zodiac. Saturn and Uranus will pull us in two contradictory directions at once. For Saturn, the old ways are the best, however Uranus will demand that we go for innovations, experimentations, encourage us to rebellious and follow our own whims instead of listening to others. Remember, life is not black and white –- it is all varying shades of gray!
