ASTROLOGY FORECAST (Apr 1 - 7)
Welcome to April. It is going to be an active month. Saturn and Pluto have changed signs. We are just beginning to acclimatize to the new energies from Pisces and Aquarius.
There will be more intensity along the way. In addition to the usual New and Full Moons, there is the year's first Eclipse, the Lyrids Meteor shower, and the start of the year's second Mercury retrograde. These events will be covered in detail as they approach.
There is a big concentration of planets in Aries and Taurus this month. There is also a theme to the alignments. Aries is at the beginning of the Zodiac or the Alpha/Omega point. The arrival of Spring for 87% of the Earth's population. ushers in new beginnings, new ideas, and increasingly, the energies of a New Age.
This is where Aries can be very helpful. Vigor, enthusiasm, the dynamism of the Fire element, and the physical nature of this sign are all potential partners.
We are attempting to bring as much of our full Soul abilities and expression into our physical world and bodies as we are able; heaven on Earth. Aries specializes in sharp mental abilities being married to, and expressed in, the physical realm. Just the kind of assistance we can utilize. It will be critical to be as much at ease as you can with all of these new changes.
Do whatever you can to ease your nervous system. We are being acclimated to much higher levels of electrical and crystalline inputs. That is very challenging to our nerves. Anything that helps you join with the Earth in a meaningful way is especially helpful now.
Later in the month there is a Total Solar Eclipse at the Anaretic 29° Aries. Last month's New Moon was at 1° Aries. The bookend New Moons at these particular degrees is not random. I will discuss this in more detail later in the month as well.
This week begins with VENUS still in conjunction with Uranus near the Taurus Point of Avatar. Normally this would incite a lot of changes in relationships of all types. However, since we have had Uranus in Taurus since 2018, there has been plenty of time for reflection on Taurus themes. That would indicate that if changes do happen, they have been looming in the background. It may simply be the appropriate time.
Another influence can be abundance as it pertains to the Earth. This is both a Taurus and a Venus trait. Finding a balance of abundance that is in harmony with what also serves the Earth and all beings calling her home.
MERCURY moves into Taurus on Apr 3rd at 12:22 pm EST.
It joins Venus, the North Node, Uranus, and Juno to form a strong stellium of heavenly bodies in Taurus. Mercury in Taurus concentrates thinking and communications on what is earthy, practical and reliable. It isn't flashy, but takes a wide angle view of the present, and on into the future.
The FULL MOON is on Apr 6th at 12:34 am EST in Libra. Libra is balanced, very fair minded, and seeks win/win scenarios. The Full Moon brings emotional strength into the mix. Things that are unbalanced in your life may come to the surface, or come back again for further investigation. In these volatile times, don't hesitate to ask for assistance from your guides, angels, and soul.
April will continue the pattern of changes and intensity. They are not all difficult, just designed to engage you in active soul growth and Ascension. May Grace guide you.
ASTROLOGY FORECAST (Apr 8 - 15)
There is a wonderful alignment in April that can effectively help everyone.
The SUN conjuncts JUPITER.
The range of this conjunction is from 4/2 until 4/22. It peaks on Apr 11th.
The two parties are our "star", the SUN, that is exalted in Aries and JUPITER, our Solar system's great benefic.
This will help you immensely. A general feeling of joy, optimism, enthusiasm, and well-being will be available for all who are willing to receive. It could not come at a better time with the world seeing so many challenges.
This is a fantastic time to see Jupiter in the early evening sky in the west. It is so bright that you might easily mistake it for Venus. It is particularly bright and beautiful right now since it is in opposition. (That means that the orbit of the Earth, Sun, and Jupiter are most optimal for viewing, since Jupiter's orbit takes it around the far side of the Sun.)
I also would like you to remember that in addition to this happy alignment where the Sun is exalted in Aries, we also have Venus in Taurus that it rules, and Neptune in Pisces which it rules. These are 3 heavenly bodies all in positions to broadcast their best energies toward Earth.
VENUS moves into Gemini on Apr 11th at 12:47 am EST until May 7th. Gemini likes activity and variety. When matched up with Venus this does not lessen the tendency. Venus loves beauty. In Gemini this may express as lovely words, both written and spoken. Travel to wonderful places is more likely. I would point out here that this is an appropriate place to utilize your imagination. All creation can be initiated through your imagination joined by great feeling. This transit can lend a hand.
VESTA moves into Taurus on Apr 15th at 12:58 pm until Jun 22nd. This placement tends to resist change if possible. It also symbolizes integrity, self ownership, and the location of the sacred in one's soul.
In Taurus, which encourages us to find solace and abundance with the natural world, these Vesta qualities can help you hold your gifts steady among the changes. Caution is useful to avoid stubbornness.
The other area that Vesta helps influence is agriculture. That makes this placement and timing wonderful
for sowing and gardening this Spring.
I want to share an interesting excerpt from EARTH - Pleiadian Keys to the Living Library, by Barbara Marciniak. (1995), (page 33-34)
"The twelve strands of DNA and twelve chakras have many parallel twelves that move with them. The story of twelve is quite profoundly expressed all over your planet. It is deeply embedded within the mass psyche of human consciousness, and has been employed throughout time, in your terms, as a method to structure and convey information from one system to another. The story of twelve grounds the idea of meaningful existence into your world.
The earliest use of the ancient teaching of twelve was the concept of the zodiac, a narrow belt eighteen inches degrees wide on either side of the elliptic, which is the apparent circular path of the sun around Earth. The zodiac was divided into twelve signs, with twelve houses, conveying knowledge about creation through the idea of interweaving and linking twelve significant parts. The zodiac was believed to be alive with memory, and it played an integral part in Summerland, Hindu, Chinese, Egyptian, Chandran, Greek, and Roman civilizations.
Human development is deeply linked to universal cycles distributing the twelve zodiacal energies through which new expressions came into being."
There is more interesting information if you would like to read further. I recommend the book to you.
Next week brings a flurry of activity:
Lyrids Meteor shower
Full Moon which is a Total Solar Eclipse on the Aries/Libra axis
Sun into Taurus
Mercury retrograde
I encourage you again to calm yourself in ways that connect you to Earth. May you think elegantly and find your grace.
