April is the customary time for bursting forth on all fronts in life. With our push forward, up, out and onward, there may often be rush to judgment or impulsive action that catches up with us later on. After a languid winter made infinitely worse and more confining by the Covid pandemic, we are rarin’ to go straight out of the gate. Fortunately, the cosmic energies offer tremendous support to move forward with every aspect of our life now.
Why?
On April 1st, we are just past half way through an
unusual astrological phase where all ten planets in our galaxy are direct motion. Unusual in the prolonged length of time the
planets are direct, over two months.
This phase will end during the final days of April when Transformer
Pluto turns retrograde for the next several months. Until then, we enjoy fairly unfettered cosmic
motion. So take full advantage!
As you hit the gas pedal of your life, it is a good thing to
remember that there is little to hold your horses, cosmically speaking, as
April begins. So it is on us to hit the
pause button if we come to a cross roads or key decision. Not only are all of the planets smoothing our
path forward, but several key alignments and planetary placements offer energy
enhancement.
Such as you might ask?
As April opens, Motivating Mars in Gemini aligns with both
titans Generous Jupiter and Taskmaster Saturn, in Aquarius. We connect on all cylinders, to ideas, to
people both groups and individuals, using technology as we go. Our information gathering, sharing and
disseminating is at peak performance; so if you have a message to broadcast,
the first week of April is the time to release what you have to say; especially
Sunday and Monday, April 4th and 5th when Messenger
Mercury enters fiery Aries at an attention-getting degree. Time to speak your piece and how!
As Mercury joins Valuable Venus and the Sun in Aries, our
get up and go feels super charged.
Mercury rules our thoughts, mind, language and words. Loosely paired with the Sun, our will and
Venus (relationships) we have no time to waste.
Get ON with it already! The long
winter months with planets in Cautious Capricorn and Dreamy Pisces are
over. Enough considering, evaluating and
reflecting. It is time to act and now.
S/he who hesitates is lost, right?
Of course right!
So hopefully you have finished your research and analysis by
the end of March; because the impulse to pull the trigger between Sunday, April
4th and mid-month is at peak torque.
Our minds are made up and suddenly we’re racing from 0-100 in 2.5 seconds
flat. Where is the dotted line so we can sign? How
fast can we get it or get there, or make something happen, whatever that is, and
ask ourselves why did we wait so long to do this? We want to know it, do it, or live it now.
Yes, this is the rapidity of the triple Aries energy at
play. So in your rush, especially with
large purchases and investments, remember to take a minute to check your
calculations. Trust me: you do
not want to live with buyer’s remorse or any I TOLD YOU SO of the up-coming
Taurus energy later this month. It won’t
hurt anyone to run the numbers on a prospective purchase or sleep on a decision
for just one night.

Well, on
this coming Thursday April 1st, we are just past half way through an
unusual astrological phase where all ten planets in our galaxy are turning
direct motion. Unusual in that this is a
very prolonged length of time for the planets to be turning direct, over two
months all together. This phase will end
during the final days of April when Transformer Pluto turns retrograde for the next
several months. Until then, we enjoy
fairly unfettered cosmic motion. So take
full advantage!

This is
especially important During the dark phase of the moon, Friday, April 9-Sunday,
April 11, right before the New Moon very late on the 11th. This is one catalytic New Moon as fiery Sun,
Moon and Venus in Aries aligns with Jupiter in Aquarius: meaning, we are FULL of ideas and how to get
them done and the energy to accomplish it all.
The trick with this New Moon is taking measured turns, alternating cautious
pragmatism with impulsive energy.
The Aries
trio challenges transformer Pluto in Capricorn.
Our will and emotions have a great big foot on the accelerator while
Pluto says not so fast: If you’re going
to do anything, do it right. Build what
you want but build it to last. Otherwise, impulse decisions will get the
better of you now, like pouring gasoline on a bonfire. However, when managed effectively, this New
Moon energy can accomplish anything and quickly. So set your intentions on Monday or Tuesday,
the 12th or 13th.
Remember to handwrite 3-5
goals you seek to accomplish over the next month or season. Then plant in the ground or carefully set
alight.
The
temperature begins to lower noticeably a few days later when Venus, Mercury and
the Sun shift into earthy Taurus like dominoes falling into place. From Thursday, April 15th through
Monday, the 19th, the hot Aries engine turns over into a gentle
purr. The Garden Party is ON! Valuable Venus leads the energy shift as she
rolls into her own sign of Taurus on the 15th. Here, she feels at home taking her time,
creating what is beautiful and sensual yet practical. How does Taurus procure her triple threat
creations: effective, efficient and luscious? Venus wastes neither time, money nor
resources producing; she knows what everyone can use or relate to, especially
the impossible-to-buy for…she has exactly the right, just the perfect little
gift. For Taurus, Life is art; living an
art form, Venus says. Designing, cultivating, planting, growing and harvesting,
Venus in her ruler sign Taurus comforts us as only Mother Earth can.
By the
following Monday, April 19th, both Messenger Mercury and the Sun
join Venus in Taurus, gradually joining Radical Uranus. We cannot help but feel life slow down into a
more even-keeled, methodical pace, remarkably different from the fire-brand,
nearly manic first weeks of April. With
four planets in Taurus now, we find ourselves moving gradually, even
gracefully, tasting what life has to offer, feeling textures and, yes, smelling
the roses too. Taurus is primordial
building block energy. She is both the
farmer, sowing seeds of nourishing food, master craftsman and designer,
building a lovely and functional
home, with a garden, of course.
As the Sun
(our will), Mercury (our minds and words), and Venus (our relationships) all
converge with the Great Awakener Uranus over the last half of April, our values may shift. Taurus is the “show me the money” sign. It
rules worth, and yes our self-worth, our skills and talents, how we apply these
to earn money. As it cycles through
Taurus, the change agent planet Uranus turns everything upside down as cycling
through super stable Taurus makes for an uncomfortable fit. We have seen the results of this pairing
rendered through economic uncertainty borne out of the Covid pandemic. Uranus asks:
what are your time and talents worth?
Are you using them wisely? To the
most effective benefit? If not, should
you be cultivating different skills?
Then it sets about changing things up, to intentionally push us out of
our comfort zone, to awaken us to our greatest Self.
How?
Uranus
awakens us through change, sudden events or surprises, what we know as plot
twists or life’s unexpected bends in the road.
When each of the interior planets, Sun, Mercury and Venus first pair then
move past Uranus, we may feel mini- earthquakes. These may take one of many forms, such as “ah-hah!” moments, flashes of insight
and realization such as, “why did it take
me so long to understand this…?” or much greater, unpredictable events that
can shake and shock us. FYI: Uranus rules lightning, electricity and
earthquakes. This is breakdown and
breakthrough energy. For some, it may
feel like a make or break time. So it is
helpful that Motivating Mars rolls into compassionate Cancer the Crab on
Friday, April 23rd. Our
actions are softened as we are drawn toward how
we feel, or can best nurture our family and ourselves.
Emotions may
be running a wee bit high as Mars enters emotional Cancer, under waxing Full
Moon energies. The last weekend of April
looks particularly turbulent heading into the Full Moon in Scorpio on Monday,
April 26th. The energy that
weekend is intensified as Powerful Pluto, the ruler of Scorpio, prepares to
turn retrograde the very next day on Tuesday, the 27th. Suffice to say, it is enough to have one of
these events in and of itself; having them paired together is well, loaded.
So TAKE CARE. Pluto and its sign Scorpio reveal what has
been hidden, especially hidden with intention.
Under the blazing light of the Full Moon, old secrets come out of the woodwork;
karma comes a-calling. If you have anything to own up to, this week is the time
for complete accountability. If not,
please do your part to minimize any drama that typically roils around a Full
Moon.
The very
long stretch of direct motion planets now comes to an end with Pluto’s
retrograde on the 27th. We
will not see another forward thrust of all ten planets until February
2022. So make the most of April’s
fiercely brave first weeks by planting seeds of value and worthiness, even if
that means breaking out of what holds you back, or break away from what keeps
you from pure soulful living. If Covid taught us anything, it certainly drove
home: to thine own self be true.
