Astrological Review April 1 – April 15
Hello Everybody!
There is a wild wind blowing the next few weeks as six planets line up in the dynamic, somewhat acerbic, and determined sign of Aries. This collective spread brings changes across the globe and will impact all major societal structures. In some cases, decisions made over the next few weeks will fly in the face of convention, leaving the brightest of us scratching our heads.
Let us take a quick tour of the current astro-landscape to find clarity regarding this unfolding set of circumstances. On Wednesday the 1st, a Full Moon at 12 degrees of Libra helps with tying up the loose ends on all types of situations – some relational and others project-oriented. Simultaneously, the full Moon squares off to Jupiter in Cancer, highlighting a frustrating situation that may involve family-home concerns versus affairs of the state. The Important issue during this Full Moon cycle is that the energy of Libra will be working in opposition all this week and next against the various Aries aspects. In short, even though not every opposition will be to a tight degree, there will still be resonance that gives off a sense of warring- argumentative vibrations in many different arenas.
On Thursday, the 9th, Mars, a highly excitable energy, or better known as the “Just Do It” planet, moves into the sign of Aries. During this period, we could hear of new athletic projects, military conquests, or dramatic interplay between political rivals.
Luckily, a softer, mostly receptive interlude occurs on Sunday, the 12th, when Venus in Taurus sextiles Jupiter in Cancer. This short break will place the focus on creative, loving interaction between people, highlighting homey issues related to family and the community at large.
After a short nurturing period, and on Monday the 13th, we will be rudely thrust back into wild and crazy Arian energy when Mars in Aries conjuncts Neptune in Aries. The basic gist of this aspect is that we are all permitted to take swift action on feelings and intuitive notions that are percolating to the surface.
On Wednesday the 15th, Mercury also moves into Aries, making for loud, demanding conversations that move away from gentle fireside chats into the realm of fiery communications that can scare the neighbors’ pets, or said another way, it’s “my way or the highway” for all those concerned.
This is a week when everyone feels pushed to the max in whatever situation life throws at them. The Aries transits will impact finances, relationships, romance, and physical motivation. All the Fire signs, Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius, will be heavily impacted by these aspects, and in some cases, they will be given renewed vigor and inspiration.
Libra natives will experience nervous tension due to the opposition between themselves and Aries. All other signs will experience the tensions to a lesser or greater degree, and will feel the overwhelmingly emotional influence from this unprecedented glut of planets in fiery-aggressive Aries.
Lastly, the current climate could be confusing and nerve-racking, to say the least. Our best options are to find solace and support from people who share our values and aspirations, and to take time for rest. On that note, I will conclude in the same way as last time.
Peace is something we must foster and can only come from within!
Be well!
