April opens with a build-up to the 2nd of 3 Jupiter/Pluto alignments which are working to help us make powerful changes and evolve scenarios in ways that are growth-oriented.
This story began in January and is not over until September so expect to find some turning point at this midpoint territory about what it represents. Jupiter wants you to focus on financial needs, sexual interests, reproductive matters, divorce, death, birth, or third-party matters, looking at where you are with any travel, legal, educational, media, marketing, wedding, religious, or political needs. Pluto wants you to hone in on this now and do something about goals, career, status, or authority figures like the boss, leaders, teachers, parents, or judges in the equation. This is exact by the 14th so the first two weeks of the month should move you towards whatever this mid-point represents for you.
The other thing impacting the first half of April is that Mercury is still Retrograde so everyone is dealing with personal or physical slow-downs or working out some past opportunity or issue. It’s about going back over whatever you need to revisit regarding your involvement, body, image, brand, name, title, or needs. This ends on the 15th and you should now be ready to shift gears and start to move into that forward motion again. You can have mix-ups, breakdowns or malfunctioning gadgets on the day the energy shifts so do guard against this potential.
There is a New Moon in the same territory on the same day so it kicks off a 2-week boost that can help everyone start to move into new interests or that next chapter in current situations so again be proactive about what is going on with or about you, your body, image, brand, name, title, or personal needs.
Saturn is going to go Retrograde on the 17th so here we slow down and start to go back over anything we need to in the months ahead or to catch our breath and fine tune some things and the focus is on career, personal goals, reputation, fame, a boss, parent, judge, director, teacher, or other authority figure. Within a few days, Pluto Retrogrades as well in the same territory, starting to slow down and give you the months ahead to catch up or revise anything set in motion so far. This happens on the 22nd and may be about big financial, sexual, divorce, mortality, reproductive, or third-party matters shifting gears when it comes to these goals, career matters or authority figures.
On the 19th the Sun enters Taurus where he’ll tour over the month ahead so this puts a spotlight on earning money, what you are doing with your possessions, any purchases you are making, and what is going on with your products. It’s a time to show up and get more personally or physically involved in leading this forward so do show up.
By the 24th Venus moves into Gemini and this means the next few weeks are likely to be more conversational or flirtatious when it comes to love, more aimed at agreements, sales, writing, interviews, offers, meetings, talks, or decisions when it comes to income, women or beauty interests, and perhaps more short trips or local activities with all of the above. Words are more pleasing or ideas are more enjoyable.
Next month Uranus will enter Taurus, a sign it has not toured since the Great Depression and Famine between 1934-1942, I will go in-depth about that in the May Monthly Horoscopes. I bring it up now because we will enter the ‘critical’ 29th degree of Aries as Uranus is on the way out of this sign starting this month and it may be quite event-oriented. This begins on April 27th and lasts through May 15th. In my opinion the most intense days may be April 27th–29th as we enter the critical degree and build to a Full Moon in Scorpio, and even more so on May 13-16th as personal planets Mars and Venus get involved in a frictional pattern to Uranus going out of Aries and moving into new territory in Taurus to trigger action. If the powers that be out there plan on blowing something up or starting a war or if individuals plan on aggressively or violently acting out or if the gods plan on earthquakes or other natural shake-ups, these periods are volcanic. For all of us in April, the last few days of the month may start to resonate with this boost in the anger, fights and warring tendencies, accidents, a quicker pace or passions, and a great motivation to do something in the moment that is urgent or ambitious. People’s egos will be super-charged as will be any last urges to break free, shake things up, do things differently, or go radical. In other words, watch it out there.
Finally, there is a Full Moon on the 29th that wraps up the energy of the month with something climactic in the financial, sexual, reproductive, divorce, death, birth, or third-party interests. So, you could be finalizing a loan, paying down debt, having a breakthrough with a settlement or bankruptcy, wrapping up an inheritance, the taxes or insurance matters, or in any other way reaching a zenith in your financial arenas. You could also have a steamy connection with someone you have a sexual spark with, find out you are pregnant or give birth to the child, find a solution to a reproductive issue, wrap up the divorce, mark an ending via a death, or celebrate some high point with two other people, it’s building to a culmination one way or the other.
ARIES:
There is something powerful happening in your 8th house this month, Aries. This may be about getting the loan or paying off debt, hashing out the inheritance or bankruptcy, paying off the taxes or getting a better insurance policy, turning a corner with alimony or child support, what’s happening with your investments or settlements, or any other major financial theme. The 8th house also rules your sexual attractions and interactions, reproductive needs, divorce, death, birth, and third-party situations and these as well may be heightened under the influences that are taking place. On the one hand, a 9-month story regarding some of these matters began back in January and it has it’s turning point mid-month, around the 14th, for you so something is turning a corner here. On the other hand, the Full Moon at the end of the month, on the 29th, brings some closure, wrap-ups, achievements, breakthroughs, or celebrations about it as things peak. So, it’s a process with lots of potential this month.
Another equally important focus this month is on you! First of all, Mercury is still Retrograde in your sign until the 15th. So the first half of April can slow you down a bit or take you back into the past to revisit issues, opportunities, people, or situations for a do-over. The focus is on you; your name, title, signature, body, image, brand, or some personal interests. This first half of the month allows you to rekindle, release or rework a thing or two. Then Mercury goes Direct on the 15th and you are ready to start moving into new territory. Right on cue the New Moon is also in your sign and occurs on the same day! This launches you into that new territory with a cosmic boost forward, helping you take what you want here into something brand new or next level with current scenarios. You’ll have 2 weeks of push behind this so partner with the momentum.
Next, there are 2 powerful energies in your career midheaven, impacting career, status, personal goals, reputation, and dealings with authority figures such as the boss, parents, judge, or mentor. Both of these are slowing down and will Retrograde on the 17th (Saturn) and on the 22nd (Pluto). So, it seems you have been busy with big changes going on in one or more of these areas over the months behind you and now you will get a chance to slow down and catch up to what has happened in the months ahead. Again, it can mean a time to review, release, rekindle, or rework things here. There can be events tied to the days this energy shifts so note that you may be doing something or reacting to what is happening in one of these matters on the above dates.
You’ll note that from the 19th onward you may get busier making money or doing something with your possessions, making purchases or dealing with your products. It’s a 30-day cycle kicking off now that can help you to stand out in these matters and take the lead, as well as helping you to focus on what your needs are in the matters so plan on showing up and getting more personally or physically involved.
The last shift of energy this month involves the final week as Venus moves into a more talkative and local kind of flow for you. This may mean that you are more apt to earn money, fall in love, do things with lovers, focus on beauty, or involve women in talks or meetings, on short trips or in local activities, in interviews or auditions, with offers or proposals, in writing or agreements, with sales or siblings, or in your decision-making. Speak up, ask for it, share it, enjoy the flirtatious side of it, you may charm others much easier and enjoy the benefits of this influence over the weeks ahead.
As Uranus enters the last degree of your sign on the 27th you may start to feel the impact of this critical degree being triggered. You’ve hosted this wild and unpredictable planet since 2011 and it’s been in charge of a personal and/or physical reinvention of who you are and what you’ve been doing about your body, image, brand, name, title, or needs. In the last days of this month and first 2 weeks of May it is edging its way out and may spur you to do something radical, spontaneous or exciting. Just take care that you aren’t a bit more accident prone or angry and note you may have an interesting impact on electronics.
TAURUS:
One of the main focuses for you, Taurus, in the month of April will be on your relationships. This means that you may be focusing this on a romantic partnership or you may be busy with a business partner, it could be about clients or it could be about a specialist, it could be about representation such as connections with agents or attorneys, or it could be about opponents or competitors, but whomsoever you choose to hone in on, it’s a big story. First off, you have a powerful chance to further or grow what is going on in these areas due the configuration between Jupiter and Pluto that began opportuning each other in January. This will not be over until mid-September and it is this month on the 14th that you reach the midpoint or turning point in the story. Jupiter is focusing you on one or more of these people over legal, travel, educational, media, ceremonial, religious, or political themes while Pluto is honing in on the same topics and asking you make it about financial scenarios, sexual interests, reproductive needs, mortality issues, a divorce, or third-party situations in the mix. So things should be building to this mid-point opportunity between these matters through the first half of April. Then, by the 29th there is a Full Moon in this relationship zone so something should be wrapping up or ending, finalized or achieved, celebrated or culminating one way or the other with this partner, client, specialist, representative, competitor, or other player.
Also active this month are your 12th house matters. Mercury is still Retrograde over these themes as you enter the month and will be still slowed down or taking you back to reconnect, release, rekindle, or rework things up until the 15th. At this point Mercury will go Direct again and you will start to move into that next thing over the weeks that follow. So, your 12th house topics are romantic trysts or karmic unions, artistic talents or projects, spiritual practices, hospitals or other institutions, or research or investigations. You may run into past people or revisit past ideas or issues, and you could experience some mix-ups or malfunctioning gadgets or mechanicals associated with what you are doing in one or more of these matters. But, it is a do-over, time to figure something out, so look into the film, art, painting, music, poetry, prayer, meditation, yoga, hospitals, spas, retreats, romantic getaways, karmic balance, investigations, or research while you have the chance to fix things. On the same day that Mercury Retrograde ends there is a New Moon in these same matters so on the 15th you get a big boost forward from the cosmos to start something new or take what you are doing in these matters into the next chapter. You have 2 weeks with momentum so partner with this energy.
Now for your 9th house matters…you are hosting power house energies here between Saturn and Pluto, with a need to get serious, make long term commitments, end things that don’t look good long term, structure things to support you, get ambitious, deal with higher-up types about it, as well as to purge, evolve, empower, deal with changes, and tackle any financial, intimate, divorce, reproductive, mortality, or triangle scenarios in the mix. So, what’s it about? The 9th house topics are your media or marketing interests, your educational pursuits, any legal needs, your travel plans, dealings with people at a distance, ceremonies, religious interests, or politics. Both of these energies will slow down in April and Retrograde, Saturn on the 17th, Pluto on the 22nd, so you will be slowing down in these matters and catching up to what has occurred over the months ahead. You will also get a do-over if needed to rekindle, release or rework something in whatever areas here that you feel a need to rework.
You may start to get a little zip in your step starting on the 19th as the Sun moves into your sign and kicks off a 30-day cycle. This puts a spotlight on you and allows you to shine. It helps you show up and get more personally or physically involved in your own needs, whether that is about your body, image, brand, name, title, or some personal goals. So show up, make it about you, others will notice.
Finally, your ruler, Venus, is heading into your zone of income, purchases, products, or possessions on the 24th onward, making the last week of the month smoother sailing in these areas or helping you to attract some nice flow with what you are doing here. You may just amp up the earning potential in all areas or see something going on with love or women or beauty interests in the mix, either way it should help you enjoy what is transpiring a bit more.
You’ve hosted Uranus in your 12th house since 2011 and starting now on the 27th the planet of shock and surprise, genius and excitement, enters that last degree where it will travel until May 15th when it enters your sign! So these last days are considered critical and may bring some urges or sudden changes involving your involvement in artistic matters, karmic situations, romantic getaways, clandestine romance, secrets, deceptions, addictions, hospitals, prisons or other institutions, spiritual practices, dreams, signs from beyond the veil, psychic abilities, magical interests, investigations, or research. You may feel like acting out or be a bit more accident prone or you may have a genius breakthrough, pace yourself.
GEMINI:
Alright, Gemini, you will reach a peak at month’s end regarding your work, health or animals, possibly all three depending on where you put your energy, but this means by then you may achieve your goal or be able to finalize things or wrap them up. So start with the building opportunity that is turning a corner this month in these areas by looking for where you want to take your work next, if there are any projects or interests you’d like to involve your co-workers in or hire help to get on board. Look at getting organized or the cleaning needs and any paperwork you might want to get in hand. Look at your vitality and fitness, what can you do to turn a corner with health? Do you need to start a diet, see a doctor or nutritionist, hire a trainer? What about your animals, can you adopt or get out there and get more exercise with them? It seems that a story that began in earnest back in January means focusing on loans, inheritance, taxes, investments, insurance, bankruptcy, commissions, alimony, child support, a partner’s money, or some other financial need in the mix, OR it means making changes or evolving scenarios around your sex life, reproductive needs, a death, birth, divorce, or third-party situation. Look for this to culminate mid-month on your way to that peak experience by month’s end and 2 very powerful planets impacting these matters are set to Retrograde between the 17th-22nd slowing things down over the months ahead and allowing you to catch up to the changes, review where you’re at, release or rework things from the past or that are ongoing, and get it right. Also, make note that this story is not completely at its end until September.
The first part of the month may lag when it comes to friends, gatherings, online interests, astrology, charities, or group activities, or it may be that you are busy here but it involves past people or interests or reworking current scenarios in some way. That changes on the 15th when Mercury Retrograde ends and you are ready to start moving into new or next level territory again. You may make a decision or get an offer now that illustrates this about one of these matters. You can also have some typical mix-ups or malfunctions today as the energy shifts gears so do be on the lookout for that but overall, it’s time to move ahead. To emphasize that even more, there is a New Moon today in the same territory! This gives you a 2-week boost forward starting today that can help you with more momentum behind what you’d like to start anew or with that next chapter in your ongoing friendships, group activities, online interests, astrology, charities, gatherings, or personal aspirations. Note that this is great for launching into new original projects as well so keep track of those visionary ideas!
With the Sun heading into Taurus on the 19th onward you will likely start to want to spend a bit more time alone or behind the scenes on things that interest you there so this may be a balancing act between this new need for privacy or inspiration and all that new social energy percolating around you. Do use the next 30 days to pursue your muse and enjoy the arts, to connect with your romantic side and spend time with lovers, to pray, meditate and get back in touch with your spiritual nature, to heal, rest, recuperate, and dream, to visit hospitals or other institutions, or to delve into information and see where the research takes you. It is especially positive if you are focusing on your own needs here or making it about your body, image, brand, name, or title, so enjoy.
The final shift in energy this month is with Venus moving into your sign on the 24th making the last week of the month that much sweeter. This favors you in ways of love or earning money, it helps you with women or beauty interests, and allows you to charm and attract in ways that are pleasing. Again, this can be a very enjoyable period for you, just guard against over-indulgence!
Starting on the 27th and lasting until May 15th Uranus will be moving through the final degree of Aries, a sign it has been touring since 2011. For you this may intensify some of the reinvention that has been going on of yourself as you fit within certain groups, with friends, your associates, the internet, astrology, charities, your causes, where you are with freedom, gatherings, original projects, or personal aspirations. A critical degree can bring events in these areas for you or spur a more heightened or urgent energy around what is going on. Look at how you feel about your needs in these areas or where you are with your body, image, brand, name, title, or needs about it. Take care with accidents or anger but do allow for any last shifts in these social, original or aspirational areas or opportunities to take hold.
CANCER:
April is big for you when it comes to your relationships. You may be turning a corner in a year where you can achieve a great deal of depth and change with these people, a story that really got underway in January and peaks in September this year. So look at where you are with romantic partners, business partners, clients, specialists, agents, attorneys, or opponents. Are you committed to them, and they to you? How are responsibilities being divvied up? Are you sharing ambitions and working towards them? Is it time to end something or reaffirm your commitments? What about intimately, reproductively or financially? Are you on the same page here? Has a death, a birth or a divorce impacted you? There are 2 things going on this month when it comes to these players. First, you can turn a corner as I said above in how things are going and you will want to start to slow down and catch up to all that has shifted this month or start to go back into the past or over old ground in current scenarios to reassess things and figure out what needs releasing, what needs rekindling and what needs reworking. Second, there is a major opportunity in this relationship axis and turning point energy to go big with creative ventures, the kids, your love life or lover, or any recreational pursuits in the mix. You may travel, learn or teach, involve media or legalities, wed, or focus on the religious or political side of things. Seek out these opportunities and expect something to be climaxing here by month’s end as you achieve or wrap something up.
In the first half of April you are under the Mercury Retrograde that has been slowing things down or taking you back over the past when it comes to your career, personal goals or authority figures like bosses, parents, judges, or others. So it is important to review, rework, release, or rekindle things in these areas, get into talks, run into old acquaintances, rehash old ideas, and sift through what you want to do so you get it right. On the 15th that ends and mercury goes Direct. At this point you are ready to shift gears and make choices about what you want to do moving forward. You can have some mix-ups or malfunctioning issues on the day the energy flips but otherwise you are ready to head into the future with these matters. To emphasize this there is also a New moon today that will help to propel you forward over the next 2 weeks with personal goals, career or authority figures so aim high and be proactive about going for it.
A new social trend kicks in on the 19th onward that should have you connecting with more friends, going out to gatherings, getting busier online, with astrology or charities, joining or starting groups, and pursuing your original projects and aspirations. This lasts 30 days and should be your cue to start showing up and getting more personally or physically involved in these matters. You have a spotlight on you now so this can help you stand out or make what you are doing a bit more about your needs, enjoy.
Finally, on the 24th onward Venus heads into your mysterious 12th house where she’ll travel over the weeks ahead. This means love will be more of a private or fantasy-driven thing for you, perhaps a time to plan some romantic getaways or trysts and role-play a bit more. Income is also ruled by Venus so you may now find it flows more readily through artistic endeavors, with institutions such as hospitals, spas or retreats, or through the research or investigations you do. Women may help in all of these areas as well as with spiritual progress or bad habits you are trying to break. And you may focus on beauty interests behind the scenes ab it more during this period. You’ll enjoy the added mystery during this period, just don’t isolate too much.
Uranus has been in the sign of your career, reputation, status, fame, personal life goals, and dealings with authority types like your parents, bosses, mentors, teachers, judges, or other higher-ups since 2011. It’s been a once-in-a-lifetime tour here to help you reinvent yourself and go through some awakening and sudden changes related to these topics. It’s meant to spark the original bent within you about these matters or free you in some way and now on the 27th the planet will enter the final degree to finish up this story between now and May 15th. This is a critical degree so you may be getting in there with any last big changes or activities that propel this forward. The planet will revisit for a few months starting in November this year and then exit for good next March so you may have another period to figure it out if you don’t this time, I know how the Cancers love to procrastinate! Watch for sudden outbursts or accidents, otherwise, expect to feel heightened energy at this point.
LEO:
April may be pivotal for you when it comes to your work, health or animals, Leo. A story that began back in January and has its last alignment in this positive flow in September is at it’s mid-point astrologically mid-April. This means if you are trying to empower yourself, make changes, focus on the financial aspects of your work, organizing the paperwork, hiring people to help, working alongside others, going for the promotion, or working things out in third party situations about the projects you are in on, then this month is important. Ditto if you are trying to purge/cleanse or focus on the reproductive system, or life and death scenarios going on with health this month is powerful. And with animals you may be seeing new pups coming along or figuring out who gets the pets in a divorce or raising money to help animals in some way. Things are shifting in so much as you have this big opening alongside the slowing down and going back over past commitments, if you want to end things or structure them differently or how you are dealing with authority types in the mix so you get a handle on all of the above via the reworking, releasing or rekindling you do. At the same time, linked to this 9-month story in these areas is something that is growth-oriented in the home, with a move, a real estate deal, the renovation, family, parent, or roommates, so seek this out and expect to see something peak via big achievements, celebrations, wrap-ups, or endings by months’ end in these matters.
The first half of April also has Mercury in Retrograde asking you to review, rethink, release, or rekindle things involving travel, people at a distance, legal matters, educational pursuits, media interests, marketing ideas, wedding plans, religious interests, or political agendas. Keep communications open here and then expect to see things shift gears on the 15th onward as the Retrograde ends and you are now ready to head into that next chapter. Do watch for mix-ups or malfunctioning issues on the day the energy shifts gears but other than that it’s time to move forward. To add to this story there is also a New Moon on this day that gives you a boost forward in the same territory so you now have a 2-week window to start new ventures or take what you are doing in these areas to the next level.
The Sun starts a new 30-day cycle on the 19th that puts a spotlight on you when it comes to your career, fame, personal goals, or dealings with authority figures like the boss, director, mentor, parent, judge, or other higher-up. This period is good for standing out, taking the lead and making it more about your needs or physical involvement in what is going on so show up.
Venus heads into your social stream on the 24th onward so the weeks ahead make you more popular with friends, groups, the internet, astrology, charities, gatherings, and while in the pursuit of your aspirations or original projects. This can help you to attract love or income flow in these areas or bring a focus on women or beauty themes as you are connecting with others. It should make it a more enjoyable time overall so plan accordingly.
Uranus moves into the critical degree of Aries, a fellow fire sign to yours, on the 27th and will travel over this degree through May 15th. This is the beginning of the end of his tour through this sign, besides a review at the end of the year and beginning of next year, he will be entering Taurus for the first time in 84 years next month for a 7-year tour so you are wrapping the Aries things up and feeling the intensified energy here as he moves across this last critical degree. It’s been about reinventing yourself via travel, foreign, media, marketing, educational, legal, wedding, religious, or political matters sine 2011 so in these last days here you may have some last big event or activity you want to jump into as part of that last big push. Do take care with anger or accidents but do also let this move you into the changes you are ready for now.
VIRGO:
Powerful energy is underfoot in April when it comes to your love life or lovers, the kids, a creative venture, or your recreational pursuits and it is linked to a story that began to get into a groove for you back in January and will peak with this by September. This month you are at a turning point when you can see some doors opening up for you via the intimacy and/or reproductive interests with a lover, the divorce if things are about freeing yourself up, the financial interests such as insurance, taxes, alimony, child support, inheritance, bankruptcy, or a partner’s money (as examples) as they tie into what you are aiming at with creative ventures, the kids, lovers, or having fun, or anything that is powerfully transformational for you going forward in these matters. The door is open as things start to slow down and you are guided to review where you are with current scenarios or if you want to return to the past for a rekindle, release or reworking of things. Look at commitments, responsibilities, endings, structures that support, and authority types in the mix as you review. Then look at that door that is open; it is about a talk, meeting, offer, proposal, the writing, an agreement, the sale/sales, a short trip, the local activities, your vehicles, electronics, siblings, neighbors, a move, the interview/audition, or some big decisions. This will peak by month’s end in celebrations, achievements, wrap-ups, or endings.
The first half of April also puts you in Mercury Retrograde which your sign definitely feels more than some since it is a ruler of your sign. The focus here is on slowing down and going back over those financial, sexual, reproductive, mortality, divorce, or third-party matters. You may have some time off from current interactions about this as space has been created to help you figure something out or you may be putting all your energy into reworking, releasing or rekindling something in one of these areas. Do-over time is over on the 15th as Mercury Retrograde ends and you are now ready to move back into the future with these matters. You can have some mix-ups or malfunctioning items on the day the energy shifts so be aware of that but overall it is now time to move forward having hammered out or figured out what was what here. To emphasize this, there is also a New Moon on the 15th in this same territory and it opens up a 2-week window that can help propel you forward into something brand new or into that next level with current interests in these areas, be proactive.
The Sun moves into your zone of the higher-mind on the 19th for a 30-day tour. This puts a spotlight on you when it come to travel plans, people at a distance, legal matters, media ventures, marketing ideas, educational pursuits, wedding plans, other ceremonies, religious experience, or politics. It’s about showing up and getting more personally or physically involved in these interests and making it about you and your needs in the mix so plan accordingly, you’ll shine.
Venus takes her influence into your Midheaven for the last week of April where she’ll now tour over the next few weeks. This can help enhance the good things going on with your career, any personal goals, your reputation, or dealings with authority figures like the boss, parent, teacher, or other higher-up. Venus brings women on board, helps attract the love or income flow in these areas and can help you hone in on beauty interests here as well. Overall it should be a smoother, more enjoyable period.
Uranus has been touring the power part of your chart since 2011, bringing surprises and changes that were meant to help you reinvent yourself via what has been going on with your sexual interests, reproductive or hormonal system/needs, divorce, death, birth, financial matters; loans, inheritance, bankruptcy, taxes, insurance, investments, settlements, alimony, child support, commissions, a partner’s money, or other financial resources. You’ve addressed how you feel about yourself and what has been going on with your body, image, brand, name, title, or needs as they relate to these topics. Now, on the 27th Uranus enters the final degree of the sign and moves across it through May 15th so you may have any last urges or events associated with freeing yourself or any genius ideas or changes you still want to make. Do guard against anger or accidents since this is highly electrical/fire energy but do let it help you with any last push.
LIBRA:
April holds real opportunity and I think a turning point for you when it comes to your home, a move, the renovations, a roommate, the real estate deals, the family, or a parent. You have a story that began to try to move you into powerful changes or deeper connections about these matters back in January and it does not end until September. This month you turn a corner with it as things ramp up mid-month and then either slow down or start to bring retreat or return to the past over some rekindling, releasing or reworking that will play out over the months ahead. This is tied to your values, being valued, your income, purchases, products, or possessions in the mix and how you are going big here in some way tied to these matters. You may be tackling the legalities or traveling or relocating at a distance, or getting into marketing, media, a learning or teaching curve, holding ceremonies, or factoring in the politics or religious side of things. This should hit a high point by month’s end as you wrap up that income, purchase, possessions, or products interests, mark an ending, or achieve and celebrate what is going on.
The first part of the month Mercury is Retrograde in your relationship zone so you have slowed down or retreating/and/or returning from the past things going on with partners, clients, specialists, agents, attorneys, competitors, opponents, or advocates. This can be frustrating or about a do-over so you get something right whether that is about releasing, rekindling or reworking things with them. By the 15th the Retrograde ends and you are ready to move forward into the future having figured something out. There can be some mix-ups or malfunctioning issues on the day the energy shifts so watch for that but otherwise you are ready to go. To add to this, there is a New Moon on the same day in the same territory giving you a 2-week boost forward into new or next level scenarios with those partners, clients, specialists, agents, attorneys, opponents, competitors, or advocates, so be proactive, it’s time to do this.
The Sun heads into your 8th house on the 19th where he will now tour the next 30 days. This puts a spotlight on you in sexual arenas, with divorce, a death, a birth, any reproductive matters, your financial scenarios, or any third-party situations. It will urge you to show up and get more personally or physically involved in these matters, taking the lead, making it about you and your needs being met, standing out in the crowd, actively involved. Plan accordingly.

Look towards romantic partners, business partners, clients, specialists, agents, attorneys, competitors, opponents, or advocates as you address how you feel about yourself in the relationship or what is going on with your body, image, brand, name, title, or needs in the mix.

SCORPIO:
A major opportunity began for you back in January that does not end until September and it is in this month that you turn a corner to start really making the most out of it so let’s take a look. First, it is about empowering yourself through the word and your ideas. This may mean important talks or meetings, agreements or sales, your writing, the interviews or auditions, offers or proposals, or decisions being made. It can also equally be bringing some big changes and empowerment via what you are getting involved in with your community, short trips to nearby places, interactions with siblings or neighbors, or a focus on vehicles or electronics in what you are doing. Look at where you are financially or sexually or how you feel about your own mortality and how you are working with others to make changes. You will see things start to slow down and a turn towards the past or going back over current scenarios or taking a break from them to catch up with what has occurred thus far. Part of this is about your ambitions, any endings that now need to occur or some long-term commitments you should focus on, your responsibilities and any limits in the situation, and how you have taken the lead up to this point. The other side of this story is about you and how you are going through a major growth spurt this year thanks to Jupiter so linked to the story above is where you are in the picture, if you are stretching out via personal or physical involvement, if there is any travel, global, educational, media, marketing, legal, ceremonial, religious, or political side to who you are or where you want to go over this year. Look for opportunities tied to the above factors opening up for you this month and expect for there to be something big to celebrate or wrap up, achieve or end by month’s end.
The first half of April you are in Mercury Retrograde so there is also a slowing down or going back into the past or over ongoing scenarios to rework, release or rekindle things involving your work, health, pets, paperwork, co-workers, hired help, organizing, or cleaning needs. This ends on the 15th as Mercury goes Direct so at this point you are ready to move into the next chapter, just watch for mix-ups or malfunctioning items on the day the energy shifts gears, but other than that it’s forward you go. To add to this story there is also a New Moon on the same day that is in the same territory so you now have a 2-week boost forward from the cosmos that can help you to launch into new work or health regimes, new paperwork or hired help, new co-workers or animal interests, new cleaning or organizing, or it can help you move into the next chapter with ongoing scenarios.
The Sun moves into your relationship zone on the 19th where he will now tour over the next 30 days. This puts a spotlight on you when it comes to romantic partners, business partners, clients, specialists, agents, attorneys, competitors, or other key players. You should stand out, take the lead and make it about you and your needs being met. Time to show up and get more personally or physically involved with these people.
Venus makes the last move of the month by entering your zone of sex, reproduction, divorce, death, birth, finances, and third-party matters on the 24th onward. Over the weeks ahead this will help you take love into more intimate arenas or help you focus the love on someone who is passing or a new child in the world. It will help you get your income and divorce scenarios in line or income and the debt, inheritance, bankruptcy, taxes, insurance, settlements, alimony, or other financial interests. It may bring women into the story of intimacy, reproduction, death, birth, divorce, or financial needs, or focus you on beauty interests here. It should help smooth out issues or attract things you need between these topics so find your openings and go.
Uranus started to bring excitement, shock, sudden change, genius, and a reinvention of who you are when it comes to your work, the people you hire or work with, the paperwork, your health, the animals, and the services you provide back in 2011. It’s been an unpredictable but once in a lifetime transit that should have awakened you and brought you in line with your soul group or aspirations in these areas. You enter the last critical degree of this passage on April 27th through May 15th so you may have some last events or ideas that spur you on, be in the moment, take care with accidents or anger and pursue original and freeing interests here as they arrive.
SAGITTARIUS:
April could be the month of big changes or more empowerment when it comes to your income, purchases, possessions, or products, Sage, and it is part of the story that began to push for this in a positive way back in January and will continue to do so until September of this year. April marks the turning point when the doors are open and you may start to slow down and hone in on certain aspects of this situation and really tweak or finesse things, rework what needs reworking, and get real about limits, endings, long-term commitments, the bigger financial scenario, where the power or controlling interests are, and how things are shared. Be willing to reconnect with past people or situations to rework, release or rekindle things. The secondary side to this story has to do with the growth potential you have going on in an artistic outlet, spiritual pursuit, romance, with an institution such as a hospital or retreat, or with research or investigations. This ties in somehow. Look at any legal or travel needs you might have with this matter or how educational or media interests help. Look at religious or political interests in the mix or a ceremony that is important to you. The door is open as you pull this all together in some way, expect something to peak in this secondary arena by month’s end via wrap-ups, achievements, endings, or celebrations.
The first half of April you have Mercury Retrograde so there is a bit of a slow down or backwards focus on past people or situations regarding your love life, creative endeavors, recreational pursuits, or kids. You are in do-over territory so take the time to rework, release or rekindle things here up until the 15th. At this point Mercury goes Direct and you should be ready to move forward again into that next thing. Do watch out for any mix-ups or malfunctioning items associated with these topics around the day of the shift in gears but overall, it’s time to move ahead. To add to this story there is a New Moon on the same day in the same territory so you now have a 2-week boost from the cosmos starting on the 15th that is about helping you start something new with love/lovers, kids, creative ventures, or fun, or helping you take current situations into that next chapter, be proactive.
The Sun heads into your work, health and pet zone on the 19th kicking off a 30-day cycle that puts a spotlight on you in these matters and asks that you show up and get more personally or physically involved in these matters. This is a good period for getting to the gym, starting a diet, seeking out medical professionals for help, or in other ways showing up for your own health. It can help you stand out and take the lead on jobs you have in front of you or in landing new work. You can get in there with people you hire or co-workers and make an impression or tackle paperwork, organize or clean to get the ball rolling. Adoption of pets, getting more active with the pets you have or getting involved in animal charities or other beneficial outlets with animals is also favored now.
Venus then heads into your relationship zone on the 24th onward kicking off several weeks of more enjoyment with your partners, clients, specialists, agents, attorneys, or competitors. If you can’t enjoy them you can use this energy to smooth out issues or focus on the income flow or love with them or make it about what you are doing with women or beauty interests. Overall it should be a pleasant transit.
Uranus began his transit of your house of true love/lovers, creative ventures/talents, children, and recreation, back in 2011. This period of your life was meant to shake you out of any ruts, bring sudden changes, awaken the genius in you, spur on exciting opportunities to reinvent yourself via these avenues, and do whatever you needed to do about your body, image, brand, name, title, or needs to bring fresh air into these areas of life.

Look at your financial picture, how you feel sexually or reproductively, if divorce, birth or a death figure into what is impacting your body or identity in some way, and how you can now release something or return to the past in some way to rework something that strengthens your evolution in the story. It is likely that you will see a door that is open this month and that you can re-evaluate commitments, endings, limits, losses, responsibilities, and ambitions in the situation, as well as where you are with any authority types besides your own authority. The other part of this story is the luck or growth that is possible by pursuing your own aspirations or original projects or via your friends, groups, the internet, astrology, charities, causes, or gatherings. Look at how travel or people at a distance figure into this, any relocation at a distance, educational pursuits, legalities, media or marketing ideas, ceremonies, religious beliefs, or political ideals are impacting things here.
