April 2009

Aries – (March 20 – April 19)

Your planetary ruler Mars is swimming in the deep waters of your solar 12th house until the 23rd, Aries. This translates into some hidden agendas which will come to light at the Full Moon of April 9th.  This month’s Full Moon highlights your relationship sector; note that this includes business partnerships, as well. For better or worse, relationship questions are answered at this time; some of you will hear what you want, and find your heart’s delight fulfilled.

Taurus – (April 20 – May 20)

This month is about YOU, Taurus; your self-care, nurturing, and health habits- all those nice things you do to make it better. This means leisurely breakfasts and evening sunset walks because running around crazy gets you nowhere fast.  A solid body-mind connection translates to efficiency in your work sector for April. Venus resumes her direct motion and then enters Aries on the 24th – into your house of repose where she stays until early June when a strong and healthy butterfly emerges from this cocoon stage.

Gemini – (May 21 – June 20)

Does it seem like everything comes with a dear price, Gemini? The good news is – you have gained in wisdom, and there is more to come. Jupiter and Neptune in you sector of higher mind are poised to deliver a mother lode of information which can lead you to lucrative opportunities. The tide goes out, but comes back in filled with shimmering life force. A turning point presents itself when Mars and Uranus join forces on the 15th  . You can waste this dynamic energy in door slamming and heated argument, or do the courageous thing and really take that next big step towards freedom.

Cancer – (June 21 – July 21)

This month starts out with a ‘bang’, much like the pop from a racers starting pistol. Your emotion runs hot and cold as Venus challenges Pluto on the 3rd – it’s one of those situations where you might want to break up with him/her before s/he breaks up with you. However, you cannot break up with your family. With the Full Moon of April 9th ripening in your family sector, this karmic part of your Cancer destiny requires extra effort now. Although the family keeps you endlessly busy, your home is a safe sanctuary from the tensions of the outside world.

Leo – (July 22 – August 22)

A figure from the past shows up this month, and you have every good reason to let them in. The two of you have significant healing to work through; and it’s important for both parties involved to share the rewards of what you had in the past. With relationship details laid to rest, you can turn attention to your health, work, and the flow of income. The New Moon of April 24th paves way for opportunities in your career sector. With glowing support from both Mars and Venus in the compatible fire sign Aries, doors will be opening; each day continues to affirm your willingness and drive.

Virgo – (August 23 – September 22)

The advantage this month is your ability to maintain an overview and not get hooked into drama and/or turmoil. Social demands keep you off balance, when you’d rather just be quietly working. And, there will be some communication tangles which have to be worked through, especially on the 15th, when Mars and Uranus meet in your relationship sector. Better to address difficult issues either before or after the 15th - this, too, shall pass, but things may move ahead in a different format. You’ll know what that looks like by the 26th.  Overall, this can be a very productive month – just remember to choose the high road.

Libra – (September 23 – October 21)

The Full Moon of April is always in your sign, Libra. Both work and relationships are up for wholesale changes, and Venus in challenging aspect to Pluto on the 3rd brings up old issues which finally must be resolved. This has been an energy drain for too long. A wise man once told me: “it’s easier to cut it once with finality, rather than taking several small slices.” By the 11th, you experience a new sense of freedom. Changes in your home base reflect a personal evolution, which in turn opens new sources of income. Money is coming!

Scorpio – (October 22 – November 21)

A new acquaintance becomes a friend for life this month, Scorpio; provided, of course that you allow this person into your personal space. Open up, and stay ultra alert to possibilities because many good things are ready to come into your life, but you have to change your ways. There is a lingering frustration, because your hard work has not yet paid off. Be patient and close that gaping door to your past. Next month the light shines on you, so use this time to build a solid foundation for your debut.

Sagittarius – (November 22– December 20)

Knowledge becomes critical; who, when, what, where, and how are all relevant. Pay attention to details, because something which seems small and insignificant has potential for far reaching ramifications. The Full Moon of April 9th in your solar 5th house welcomes your new ‘baby.’ For some, this is a child; for others, it is the birth of a project which has taken on a life of its own. Either way, you’re the proud parent, and with the New Moon of April 23rd in your solar 6th house, you can turn around and put that baby to work.

Capricorn – (December 21 – January 19)

Although you feel compelled to move ahead in your career and professional life, other parts of the picture are just not ready to cooperate. Home and family keep making demands, and you answer the call. Confrontations tease and tangle this month, Capricorn. Mars just does not want to let you be; on the 15th he tries to draw you into an argument. And, then on the 26th, he again sets up a scenario for discord. Temper your words and actions, and maintain the role of a peaceful warrior.

Aquarius – (January 20 – February 17)

This month brings a graduation of some kind. Perhaps it’s a well earned college degree; or, you advance a step ahead at the school of life. Either way, you have worked so hard; don’t let the casual comment of an envious acquaintance devalue your achievement. In the months ahead, you will be taking a quantum leap in personal power and influence. Shore up your home to prepare for the busy times coming- when your basic needs are met you can best help others.

Pisces – (February 18 – March 19)

Mars travels through your sign until the 21st. Your guardian angels have been working overtime Pieces, so enjoy the confidence of having divine protection. However, when Mars meets Uranus on the 15th in your sign proceed with caution. Even the angels ask for your cooperation in delicate situations. These two planets have one thing in common – their explosive nature. Self destruction is time consuming, and it always produces the same result – an opportunity for transformation and rebirth. Be an angel and reach out on the 26th – somebody needs you.
