APRIL 09

Find:

Aries
21st March – 20th April

If you’re half as busy as your ruling planet Mars during April then you’re in for an eventful month. Only room for a thumbnail sketch here, but a sense of moving powerfully forward is strong all month, despite potential bumps in the road around 4th 9th and 14th (they can make the ride more fun if you hit them right). Also powerful is relationship stuff from around 21st, which gets more potent as Pluto (trust versus control) joins in from the long-term aims section of your chart, and is amplified during new moon (new emotional phase) on the 25th. It’s all happening.

Taurus
21st April – 21st May

Your ruler Venus is on a journey symbolising that a change in how you see things is on its way. It’s somehow recalling events of late Jan/early Feb, and somehow there’s a turnaround in the way you see things now to then. It’s always a positive thing as it’s about your evolving perspective and that has got to be something you’d want to embrace. If you can remember this and trust your process and your gut during a super-charged self-empowering new moon in your sign during the final week of April, the benefits start showing themselves immediately.

Gemini
22nd May – 21st June

Feisty fiery Mars is at the top of your chart as the month gets underway, providing momentum in your house of long-term aims and ambitions. But during the first week Mars meets Saturn (restrictions and boundaries) which can feel like driving with the brakes on until you stop arguing for your limitations. Truth is nothing can hold you back but your perception of what’s possible, as shown when Mars aligns with freedom-seeking Uranus midmonth. Ruler Mercury hooks up with Neptune/Jupiter for the new moon on the 25th, suggesting an appetite for spiritual expansion and poignant yearning for sunsets and sweet music.

Cancer
22nd June – 22nd July

If you feel your bigger picture future plan is being squished and squeezed by experts, or so called experts, no need to take things personally; someone rained on their parade once and now they are looking to you to free them from doubt with your own blatant disregard for their narrow view of what is possible. There’s a nice new moon on the 25th that implies you are drawing plenty of support around you for this; despite relationships feeling a bit intense around this time. Remember that bigger picture, and the journey you’ve been on for the past few months.

Leo
23rd July – 23rd August

So much now seems to revolve around your perspective and beliefs about life, and in particular what you believe you can or can’t trust; this is challenging at times, especially during the first week when the idea of limited resources comes up against your trust in the natural flow of things. Events during April are evoking your natural competitive spirit in all kinds of ways, but even this view that life is a competition is just your perception. It’s a competition that’s a lot easier to win if you view it as just a game though.

Virgo
24th August – 22nd September

During the first week Saturn in your sign is being challenged by pushy planet Mars. Saturn thinks it owns the reality rulebook but Mars just won’t submit to being told the limits of what’s possible, and when Mars meets non-conformist Uranus midmonth reality gets more unconventional as you are less willing to compromise with others on your individual approach. The new moon on the 25th has a soothingly earthy and secure vibe. Even though events might be intense around that time, it’s the way you are seeing the bigger picture that anchors the details in an easy to deal with way.

Libra
23rd September – 23rd October

There’s a full moon in your sign around the 9th. Full moons are emotional amplifiers and as there’s a whole lot going on in the relationship angle of your chart, expect your emotions to be amplified about where you currently stand relative to others. Even if that feels bad it’s a good thing, as now you know where you’d rather stand and how you’d rather be feeling. Moving forward with that understanding feels easier once Venus ends retrograde motion (appearing to move backwards) on the 19th, and then there’s a fabulous meeting between Mars (desire) and Venus (alignment) around the 25th.

Scorpio
24th October – 22nd November

First week of April your ruler Mars is testing limits, so expect an urge to push buttons. If you give it you have to take it though, so don’t get huffy if others tread on a toe looking for where you have drawn the line. Then midmonth there’s the sudden urge to make waves; not just stirring up the odd ripple either, so the same rules apply. Relationships reach a turning point on the 19th and get deep and direct; then a soothing new moon in your relationship chart on the 25th is about trust and communication.

---

Sagittarius
23rd November – 21st December

It’s ambition versus comfort zone during the first week, which morphs into a deep and restless freedom-seeking vibe by midmonth. Sudden change and sudden impulse to action might seem to be about needing a break, or making a break for it, but the disruption is still about what feels most comfy at the moment. There’s also a continuing focus on matters of the heart, or what to put your heart into, and a turning point of some sort is reached around the 19th. This feels like moving forward again, even though it’s not into new territory just yet.

---

Capricorn
22nd December – 20th January

Your view of life love and the universe feels challenged up to midmonth, thanks to forceful Mars on a mission to get a message across, pushing buttons, limits and boundaries all over the place; which is all good as it’s helping you realign with aims and ambitions that you’ve been rethinking since early Feb. There’s an intensity to this reached after midmonth, when Pluto calls you to trust a transformation process; not easy when it impacts your comfort zone so squarely, but deep down you know it’s just a case of letting go and letting the momentum carry you.

---

Aquarius
21st January – 18th February

Communication is what it all revolves around for April, and even when it seems you are only covering old ground, it's evolution not just repetition; spirals rather than circles. Maybe the one person you are trying to get the message across to at the moment is yourself, and the courage of your current conviction is born from the desire to convince yourself. There’s a full moon around the 9th that highlights this, as well as shedding light on how your ideas and beliefs about the world are part of your evolving message.

---

Pisces
19th February – 20th March

There’s resistance to your plans during the first week, and though for a little while it might interrupt the momentum you’ve built, it can serve to inspire your desire for more freedom to do things your way. This is emphasised when fiery Mars meets individualistic Uranus midmonth, while at the same time alignment-seeking Venus returns to your sign, reaching a turning point on the 19th recalling events of early Feb somehow. Like Venus, you’ve had a turnaround of perspective, so a potent meeting of Mars/Venus during final week reflects the power of your fresh eyes on situations.
