April showers bring May flowers but what else will April bring? It’s bringing a whole lot of Retrograding planetary energy, that’s what. But first of all, it is opening up on the Aries New Moon energy that kicked off on March 27^th and this will be a continuing push forward into new territory or that next level with your Aries story through April 11^th. That’s a good thing because it gives you more momentum with personal or physical interests, it can help you move ahead with anything you want to put in motion with your body, image, brand, name, or title, as well as help you pursue your own personal desires and needs. Mercury will join in this story on the 20^th onwards so this is when the talks, offers, agreements, sales, writing, short trips, meetings, and decisions about what you are doing will kick in. Venus joins in on the 28^th onward so this may bring beneficial women on board or be when love, income or beauty interests are brought into play in some opportune manner. Speaking of Venus, she is in Retrograde starting in the sign of Pisces on the 2^nd and will back through this sign until she goes Direct on the 15^th. This period is about your do-over with love, income, beauty, or women interests playing out behind the scenes, around any healing or hospital needs, dealing with addictions or bad habits, doing the research or investigations, in romantic or past life arenas, with spiritual beliefs or practices, or with artistic pursuits. It’s a do-over, time to let go of what is over or blocking, time to reconnect with past people or situations to rekindle or get closure, or time to rework current things so you get them right. On the 15^th the energy start moving forward again and you should find you are ready to move ahead now as well. Saturn is going to Retrograde this month on the 6^th and this Retrograde will last until August 25^th. Saturn has been working with us to test us regarding our maturity and ask us to master some new level of commitment, proficiency, responsibility, or ambition regarding legal matters, educational pursuits, media or marketing interests, travel, foreign interests, dealings with people at a distance, ceremonies or weddings, religious interests, or political themes. Saturn may have meant focusing on goals, career or authority figures such as the boss, parent or judge in the mix. It may mean getting real about endings or long term needs, limits or no’s, structures or timing. Now Saturn Retrogrades so it wants you to go back and deal with something once and for all, fix things, rework them, release them or reconnect with past people or situations for a do-over. Pay attention to what is coming up for you now so you take these months ahead seriously and get this right, it is your last Retrograde with Saturn in Sagittarius for another 29 years. Mercury Retrogrades this month, are you starting to get a hint that we really need to go back over something here? Mercury is starting his Retrograde on the 9^th in Taurus and will be taking us back over any ideas, talks, meetings, news, agreements, sales, writing, offers, or decisions about income, possessions, purchases, or products from the 9^th-20^th. It’s a do-over with these matters so take your time and go back to past situations about it. On the 20^th Mercury takes his Retrograde back into Aries and continues on with this until going Direct on May 3^rd. So this Aries part of the Retrograde is about you going back over some choice involving your own needs. Take care with mix-ups and breakdowns, hold off on signing new agreements if you can without it affecting your potential and concentrate on the old. If you must sign something now give yourself some wiggle room to renegotiate or choose differently later on. Keep receipts for purchases and buy warranties if you have to make purchases now, again better to hold off if you can. As far as this focus on the past and your income, purchases, possessions, or products with the Mercury Retrograde goes this month, there will be some boost forward in the midst of it all. First, the Sun shows up to put a spotlight on these matters and help you to show up and get more personally or physically involved in taking things forward from the 19^th onward. Also, there is a New Moon on the 26^th which will open up a great 2 week window that allows you to take things to that next level or start fresh with these matters. The Full Moon on the 11^th is in Libra so we will now see things culminating with or about romantic partners, business partners, agents, attorneys, clients, specialists, opponents, competitors, advocates, justice, higher esthetics, or balance in our lives. Full Moons help us achieve, celebrate, see breakthroughs, wrap things up, or mark endings. Pluto Retrogrades on the 20^th and will remain in backwards motion through September 28^th. This period is about going back over goals, career needs or what’s going on with an authority figure like a boss, parent or judge, and this is about these Pluto themes: the finances, sex, reproductive matter, death, birth, divorce, controlling interests, power, or third party needs. New opportunities involving these themes will slow down so you can go back over something and get it right. This may mean letting go of what is blocking or over, rekindling something from the past or reworking current situations to get it right. Finally, Mars moves into Gemini on the 21^st where he will now travel through June 4^th. This period amplifies activity in your local arena, with short trips, your vehicles or electronics, siblings or neighbors, with any writing, interviews, ideas, offers, agreements, sales, talks, meetings, proposals, and/or decisions during this period. It is the time to share ideas and make choices, get out there and lighten up a bit since this is an energy of communication, flirtation and learning. Mars will add to the motivation you feel about it and help you move forward, it can stir passions in these areas and it can also bring out any anger or fights so do take care about this part of the dynamic. ARIES: You have New Moon momentum heading into April that will keep you at the forefront with your own needs and any physical or personal interests through the 11^th. It’s a good time to move ahead with your goals about your body, image, brand, name, or title, as well as getting in there physically to see some momentum in personal arenas that you are passionate or angry about, you may find new opportunities or take your current interests to the next level. April is a month of Retrogrades so let’s take a look at that for your sign. Venus is Retrograde in your sign as the month begins but just until the 2^nd at which time she backs into your 12^th house. This will begin your do-over with women, love, income, or beauty interests that are playing out via romantic interludes, artistic pursuits, spiritual practices, healing, hospital needs, addictions, deceptions, boundary issues, investigations, or research. So be ready to give it a chance to see if there is some closure here that can be attained or a potential to rekindle things, if you can rework what shows promise and figure something out between now and the 15^th when Venus goes Direct. From this point, you will then be taking whatever you worked out forward into that next chapter. The Saturn Retrograde starts on the 6^th and will be in effect until August 25^th.

From the 20^th through May 3^rd Mercury takes his Retrograde back into your sign so at this point you may be rethinking something about your body, image, brand, name, title, or some personal need. Take the time to get it right, take care with mix-ups or breakdowns and try to hold off on final choices until this energy is Direct in May. The Sun will join in on these income, purchases, possessions, and products on the 19^th onward. This can help you to show up and get more involved in these themes on a personal or physical level and make it about you. You should stand out.

The Full Moon on the 11^th is about big things wrapping up, ending, coming through, achieved, celebrated, or finalized in or about the home, the real estate deals, a move, renovation, the family, a parent, or roommate.

It can push for more about any deceptions, boundary issues or hidden agendas as well.

VIRGO: The beginning of April is all about the forward momentum you have with any financial matters, your sex life, reproductive needs, divorce, mortality issues, or third party matters, thanks to ongoing New Moon energy propelling you into new interests or that next chapter with these themes until the 11^th. Be proactive about pursuing your interests here. April is a month of Retrogrades so let’s break down what that will mean for you, Virgo. Venus takes her Retrograde into Pisces on the 2^nd and turns the attention of her do-over to your key relationships from now through the 15^th. Venus is asking that you look at what is going on with love, income, women, or beauty themes by reconnecting with past players, reworking things with current players or letting go where things are done. The focus for her is with partners, clients, specialists, agents, attorneys, competitors, opponents, or advocates. So ask yourself who you need to connect with about the love, income, women, or beauty now and give yourself the time to figure things out. Once Venus goes Direct on the 15^th you’ll be ready to start moving forward again. Saturn Retrogrades on the 6^th and will stay in Retrograde until August 25^th. Saturn has been asking that you master some new level of maturity and proficiency when it comes to your security and roots, the family and roommates, your home and real estate deals, any moves or renovations, what kind of ending you want to your life story, and where you are with your emotional needs in life. This Retrograde phase will give you a bit of a breather from any push forward here but instead will ask that you look at how far you’ve come and go back over any commitments, endings, limits, structuring, dealings with authority figures, responsibilities, and goals in the matter. Ask if you are good in these matters when it comes to the legal, travel, educational, media, marketing, wedding, religious, or political themes associated with them. It’s an important do-over since once it’s done in the summer it won’t return for another 29 years. Mercury Retrogrades on the 9^th and will be in Retrograde until May 3^rd. This can bring mix-ups and malfunctions or take you back into the past to revisit people and interests there for a do-over.

For your sign it will be playing out from the 9^th-20^th on topics involving those legal, travel, media, marketing, wedding, educational, religious, or political matters. Then from the 20^th-May 3^rd it will turn the focus to financial, sexual, reproductive, divorce, mortality, or third party matters. So slow down, go back and get it right. Do note there will be some added influence at least about the first phase of the Mercury Retrograde since the Sun will join this territory on the 19^th for a 30-day cycle. This puts a spotlight on you and asks that you show up and get more personally or physically involved in those legal, travel, educational, media, marketing, wedding, religious, or political matters. You should stand out or be able to make it about your needs. The New Moon on the 26^th is also in these areas of life so you will now have a 2 week window of energy helping to push you into that next chapter with these themes. The Full Moon on the 11^th is about a peak period with your income, possessions, purchases, or products. This is when you can interact with partners, reps, clients, specialists, competitors, or others to bring breakthroughs in these areas, wrap things up, mark endings, achieve goals, or celebrate how far you’ve come. Pluto Retrogrades on the 20^th and will be in Retrograde until September 28^th. This will slow things down and allow you to go back over the financial, sexual, reproductive, mortality, divorce, or third party matters to do any releasing, reconnecting, rekindling, or reworking of things. For your sign the focus of this is on your love life, lover, kids, creative project, or recreational interests. There’s been an ongoing need to purge, evolve and empower in these combinations since 2008, let the Retrograde period give you some time to catch up to where you’ve come in your story and to see what you want to go back over for a while. Mars moves into Gemini on the 21^st and he will tour here until June 4^th. You haven’t hosted Mars here in a couple years and it’s about to get busy again! The focus of all this activity will be your personal goals, career and any dealings with authority figures like the boss, parent, judge, teacher, director, or mentor.

LIBRA: You have New Moon energy in play as April begins so you will have the edge when it comes to moving forward with partners, clients, specialists, agents, attorneys, competitors, or other relationships. It’s about getting in there and furthering your needs and agendas here and the boost is there until the 11^th, be proactive. April is a month of Retrogrades so let’s look at how all this backwards energy will impact your sign, Libra. Venus Retrograde periods are always interesting for you since Venus rules your sign. This month Venus exits her retrograde through your relationship zone and takes that Retrograde into your 6^th house on the 2^nd. So, between the 2^nd and 15^th you should look what is blocking, needs to be purged/released, is exiting, needs a do-over, needs reworking, or rekindling, when it comes to love, income, beauty, or women. Then look at your 6^th house topics for what to do about it or how it is going to play out in your release, do-over or rework: the job, paperwork, organizing, cleaning, hired help, animals, co-workers, or health scenarios. Take the time and figure it out, by the 15^th Venus goes Direct and you should be ready to move forward again. Saturn Retrogrades on the 6^th and will be in Retrograde motion until August 25^th. This period is about slowing down and fine-tuning, reworking, releasing, or reconnecting over decisions, agreements, talks, meetings, writing, ideas, sales, proposals, interviews, or auditions. It can equally mean going back over things with siblings, neighbors, vehicles, electronics, short trips, or local activities to release, rework or reconnect. Saturn is what it’s about so mastering some new level, dealing with ambitions, responsibilities, commitments, endings, limits, structures, and any authority figures in the mix. It’s an important do-over because you are confirming something involving your mind/way of looking at the world or communicating. Once Saturn goes Direct in the late summer this period of grace will not be repeated again for another 29 years, get it right. Mercury Retrogrades on the 9^th and will be in Retrograde until May 3^rd.  It’s time to rethink, renegotiate, release, rework, or reconnect over ideas, talks, meetings, agreements, sales, writing, offers, or decisions involving financial needs, controlling interests, third party matters, your sex life, reproductive needs, divorce, mortality issues, or empowerment in a situation. Go back dear Libra, check for any mix-ups, breakdowns, malfunctions, ask for clarity, review ideas, is it time to rekindle something here or revise it, how can you best use this do-over? Note that Mercury is Retrograde over these themes from the 9^th-20^th and then he backs into your relationship zone from the 20th-May3rd. At this point you’ll be reconnecting, releasing or reworking things with partners, clients, specialists, representatives, opponents, competitors, or advocates. The Sun will join the territory of the first part of Mercury Retrograde but not until the 19^th. At this point the Sun will illuminate those financial matters, your sex life, reproductive needs, divorce, mortality issues, or third party scenarios. This is a 30-day cycle and a call for you to start showing up and getting more personally or physically involved in taking the lead here and making things happen that are to your ends. The New Moon on the 26^th will then open up a powerful 2-week window that will give you a boost forward into that next chapter with these financial, sexual, divorce, reproductive, mortality, or triangle situations. The Full Moon on the 11^th is bringing a most personal or physical climax for you, Libra, because it is in your sign. This can be a big moment for you when you receive recognition or attention that lifts you up. It can be about a breakthrough on a personal level or reaching a physical goal you’ve been striving towards. It can be about wrapping something up or marking an ending to what you’ve been doing or about something involving your name, title, brand, body, or image. It’s about celebrating, achieving or finalizing things and you are center stage. Pluto Retrogrades on the 20^th and will be in Retrograde until September 28^th. This is about Pluto themes of finances, sex, reproduction, divorce, death, birth, and third party matters (yes you do have a cross-over with Mercury Retrograding in the 8^th house for a while). So as you slow down and go back over things with Pluto the focus will be about these matters at home, with real estate deals, moves, renovations, family, parents, roommates, history, or security needs. What can you go back and get right so you feel more grounded and secure up ahead? Do you need to rework the home mortgage or get a better insurance plan, work out taxes or inheritance issues? Is there an end-of-life scenario to plan for or is the divorce forcing changes to home/living scenarios, is it about sexual intimacy and who is in the home? You have several months to rekindle or release or rework things here. Mars enters Gemini on the 21^st and will tour here until June 4^th. You haven’t hosted Mars here in 2 years and it is going to amplify activity for you now with media ventures, publishing interests, marketing ideas, travel plans, foreign people or situations, people at a distance, legal needs, educational pursuits, wedding plans, religious experience, or political agendas. Mars will mean this time is motivating you to do something or react to something here with physical vitality. To be passionate and courageous about it. Mars can also stimulate anger and fights so take care not to engage others over these themes since you don’t want an all-out war. In the end this energy will help you move your mountains if you are true and proactive. There is so much more to uncover in a private reading that focuses on your unique birth chart.

SCORPIO: You enter April with momentum behind work and health interests, your paperwork, organizing and cleaning, your co-workers and hired help, and any environmental interests you are involved in, thanks to New Moon energy propelling you forward until the 11^th. So be proactive about moving into new opportunities or taking your current interests to that next level while you have this cosmic boost behind it. April is a month of Retrogrades so the past is important this month, let’s look at what it means for your sign. Venus has been Retrograde and this month she changes her sign of Retrograde on the 2^nd, backing into your sphere of true love, kids, creative ventures, and recreational pursuits. At this point you will be reviewing past people and situations over these themes to figure out where you are with the love, money flow, beauty needs, or women in the mix. It is a do-over until the 15^th so ask if you should be reviving things with someone, releasing them/it, reworking situations to fix them or better them, and then put your energy into that potential. Once Venus goes direct on the 15^th you’ll be ready to move ahead as well having figured out whatever this period was about for you. Saturn Retrogrades on the 6^th and will be in Retrograde motion until August 25^th. As you know Saturn has been testing you to master some new level of maturity and proficiency regarding your income, purchases, possessions, and product over the last couple years. During this last Retrograde here it is important now to slow down, look at what you have figured out, who or what you may now need to take the time to go back to and rework, release or rekindle things with over these themes so that you truly are on solid footing once Saturn goes Direct late summer. Look at any legal, travel, educational, media, marketing, wedding, religious, or political themes in the mix that could aid you in making money, dealing with purchases, product, or possessions, and then at what commitments, endings, structures, responsibilities, limits, or authority figures in the mix can help you cement it for that support. Once Saturn exits this Retrograde he will not give you another do-over like this for another 29 years, get it right. Mercury Retrogrades on the 9^th and will be Retrograde until May 3^rd. Mercury Retrogrades are about rethinking our decisions and yours is in the sign of partners, clients, specialists, agents, attorneys, opponents, competitors, and advocates from the 9^th-20^th. During this phase you will want to be open to news, talks, meetings, agreements, sales, writing, offers, short trips, and decisions regarding these players from the past or about releasing, reworking or rekindling things in current scenarios. Then Mercury backs into your work, health, paperwork, hired help, co-workers, cleaning, organizing, and animals zone from the 20^th-May 3^rd. So during this period you may have some reversals or do-overs about these themes. Guard against mix-ups, breakdowns or malfunctions throughout the Mercury Retrograde and make sure you are being clear in communications, hold off on final decisions or leave some wiggle room with choices going forward until Mercury is also Direct on the 3^rd if you can. The Sun enters your relationship zone on the 19^th and will tour here for 30 days so this will add to the story that gets underway with the first part of Mercury Retrograde. At the point the Sun has joined in the action you will be urged to step up and get more personally or physically involved with or about this partner, representative, competitor, opponent, client, or specialist and to make it about you. This may perhaps involve your name, title, brand, or image, as well as your body. The New Moon on the 26^th opens up your best 2-week window of the year to launch into new scenarios with/about these key relationships or to take current interests to the next level. The Full Moon on the 11^th is in your mystical, karmic 12^th house. This is the time when things are coming to a peak with karmic matters, past life unions or clandestine romance, romantic getaway or retreats, healing or hospitals, dealing with addictions or bad habits, research or strategies, prayer or other spiritual practices, art, film, music, or other muse-related themes, magic, psychic interests, or dreams. If you’ve been involved in any deceptions, hidden agendas, boundary issues, or with hidden enemies, these can also be peaking now. It’s about marking endings, finalizing things, having breakthroughs, achieving, or celebrating in these areas. Pluto Retrogrades on the 20^th and will be in Retrograde until September 28^th. This is one of your ruling energies so it slowing down and going back over its themes is definitely one of the bigger clues for you to do the same, although this is THE month of Retrogrades! So Pluto themes are finances, sex, reproduction, divorce, death, birth, and third party matters. Emotions can rule jealousy, manipulations, power-struggles, and/or controlling interests so these may also be up for review. Again, it’s time to look back over things and see where any releasing, rekindling or reworking is needed. The playing field is your 3^rd house which means it will involve talks, writing, agreements, sales, meetings, interviews, offers, ideas, news, short trips, local activities, siblings, neighbors, vehicles, electronics, or choices to be reviewed for these topics. Mars, your other ruler, is moving into Gemini for the first time in 2 years on the 21^st and he will now tour here until June 4^th. This very much has a crossover effect with Pluto in so far as it is happening in Pluto’s house for your sign so during this period you will have a whole lot more heating up and actively happening involving those financial matters, sexual interests, reproductive scenarios, mortality issues, divorce themes, or third party matters, as well as potentially any of the emotional stirrings regarding jealousy, power-struggles or transformational drives. This is really intense Scorpio, but not something your sign can’t handle, just know you are on fire, that you have more drive to make things happen in these areas now and if you can avoid Mars’s tendency to war and stir up anger, then you can make this period one that moves mountains.

SAGITTARIUS: April kicks off with lots of forward momentum involving creative ventures, lovers/love life, kids, and/or recreational pursuits thanks to New Moon energy propelling you forward in these matters until the 11^th. So be proactive while you have this kind of cosmic boost behind you. April is also the month of Retrogrades and we’ll start by looking at Venus. She takes her Retrograde back into your 4^th house on the 2^nd and will be Retrograde over these matters until the 15^th. So that means time to look at where you are with love, income, women, and/or beauty needs (Venus) when it comes to your home, real estate deals, moves, renovations, family, parent, or roommates (4^th house). It can be about rekindling things, releasing them or reworking them, allow for people to come and go, return or exit, and for situations to play out as you figure out what is pertinent and what is not. Once Venus goes Direct on the 15^th you’ll be ready to move ahead again having figured it out. Saturn Retrogrades on the 6^th and will be in Retrograde until August 25^th. You’ve been hosting Saturn in your sign for a couple years now and this is the last time it will Retrograde in Sagittarius for another 29 years so it is a significant do-over for you. Saturn has been urging you to test yourself and master some new level of personal maturity or proficiency, to get real about your body, image, brand, name, title, and most of all, your personal needs in life. To that end he’s been asking that you end certain things and make solid commitments to others, to set or deal with limits, responsibilities, structures, and authority figures, and to set goals and be disciplined about going for them. Now during this Retrograde phase you can look back at how far you’ve come and ask if you still need to go back for any reworking, releasing or rekindling of things to get this right. Your signs topics may be an important thing to look at with this so hone in on educational, media, marketing, legal, travel, wedding, religious, or political themes and how they are impacting this new, more solid version of you that you are building. Mercury Retrogrades on the 9^th and will be Retrograde until May 3^rd. Mercury Retrogrades can bring mix-ups, breakdowns and misunderstandings so you do need to double check things and try to really keep the themes being covered focused on past or ongoing situations rather than starting new ones if you can hold off without hurting your interests. For you this Retrograde is a do-over with work, health, pets, paperwork, cleaning, organizing, co-workers, or hired help from the 9^th-20^th and then about lovers, kids, creative ventures, and/or recreational interests from the 20^th-May 3^rd. So you will likely run into people and situations from the past over these themes, decide if you want to rekindle, release or rework things, and focus on any talks, meetings, agreements, sales, writing, offers, or decisions about them while Mercury has his Retro-beam on them. The Sun will move into the arena of work, health, paperwork, co-workers, hired help, and animals on the 19^th and will tour here for 30 days so at this point there will be a spotlight on you helping you stand out and take the lead in these areas, a good time to show up and get more personally or physically involved in your needs here and to move forward with them. The New Moon on the 26^th opens up your 2-week window this year that is meant to help you launch into new opportunities or take current ones to the next level with these work, health, paperwork, pet, co-worker, cleaning, organizing, and hired help interests, so be proactive! The Full Moon on the 11^th may have you celebrating with friends or seeing something big going on with a party or gathering, your online interests or astrological pursuits, as well as anything involving groups, charities, causes, your personal aspirations, freedom, or original projects. This is the time when things come through, wrap up, end, are celebrated, or achieved. Pluto Retrogrades on the 20^th and will be Retrograde until September 28^th. This is about slowing down and reviewing where you are with financial, sexual, reproductive, divorce, mortality, or third party matters. The playing field for you is about your values, income, possessions, purchases, or products. So who or what do you need to go back to and release things, rekindle them or rework them in these combinations? Are there income scenarios impacting divorce needs, taxes, or insurance plans, is it about purchases impacting your sex life or reproductive needs, what is the combination that is calling you back? Look at both lists and figure it out, you’ve got several months to do so. Mars moves into Gemini on the 21^st and will tour here until June 4^th. This is going to really heat things up for you with or about partners, clients, competitors, specialists, agents, attorneys, opponents, or advocates during this period. You haven’t had this kind of action here in a couple years so you can really motivate and make things happen now. Mars may stir more passion between you and others, it can also stir more anger and fights so do be aware of this and keep it all about moving your mountains with, through or about these players now.

The 12^th house is about karmic/past life matters, clandestine romance, spiritual beliefs and practices, artistic abilities and projects, healing, dealing with addictions, hospitals, other institutions, research, investigations, strategies, dealing with deceptions, boundary issues or hidden enemies, and your dreams and messages from beyond the veil.

The playing field for this, for your sign, is about your aspirations, friends, groups, gatherings, the internet, astrology, charities, your freedom, or original ideas/projects.
