April is the month of return. At mid-month, there is a return toward summer, a return in the celestial field, as the Earth spins toward the tilt of warmer weather for the northern hemisphere. Maybe the month is cruel in some respects. We have to clean our hearts, minds and houses for a new season. The three planets in Aries emphasize the new thrust, while the Moon traversing Pisces with Neptune situated there, emphasizes the old, the worn and the need for redemption and renewal.

Wednesday April 15th– The Moon conjunct Neptune in Pisces today, allows an expansion of feelings, doubts and incongruities. We may be fighting demons, nightmares and have psychological issues to air. Mars in Taurus is sextile to this conjunction, producing actions, wise or unwise, that can help resolve the issues. Mercury moves into a calmer field in Taurus, allowing for practical measures to be taken, sold, logical steps in the process at hand. Venus opposing Saturn today, will look at pleadings and opposing views. The issues are complex. Emotional responses cloud the scene, as we try to peer into the future.

Thursday April 16^th – As we are concerned with past problems, perhaps indebtedness and humanitarian concerns, our hearts are heavy for the losses. Repairs and compensation can only bring some relief, as we address losses on a global scale. A strong hand to punish offenders has the legal system, Saturn in Sagittarius, in recession (retrograde). Sagittarius is ruled by Jupiter, the planet symbolizing humanitarian justice. Pluto in Capricorn, the dispositor of Saturn, demands a firm hold on the law. To reconcile the two energies, motivating forces in social reform, the wrongs must be exposed. Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio, the sign of regeneration and transformation. Pluto has two faces, facing both directions, forward and back. It is time now, to move forward with reformation. That may take a look backward.

Friday April 17^th – The Moon in Aries helps to cast a new light on the old demons. Pluto in Capricorn turns retrograde, as the highest stations rethink the strategy of control. Mars in Taurus could increase the need for reserve power, and may actually draw on reserves, as greater needs come into awareness. With a square (harsh) aspect to Jupiter in Leo, Mars becomes more aggressive, and seeks greater glory in the process. Motivations for achievement are increased. There is a heightened awareness now, as Jupiter in Leo is disposed of by the Sun in Aries, the aggressive hero, and made even more war-like, as Mars in Taurus enjoys the conflict (square to Jupiter). The International forces, UN and NATO alliance countries, are trying to exert power (Pluto and Saturn) yet they are weakened in the retrograde phase.

Saturday April 18^th – The New Moon in Aries today, emphasizes the growth phase, and favors dangerous missions of rescue operations, for example, for missing school girls in Nigeria, or children in war zones. Venus in Gemini is square to Neptune in Pisces today, and a wide aspect to Saturn gives an important backing, however remote, to the process. This may be a gesture, or fantasy, as elusive as Neptune, and risk is inherent in any such plans. Personal safety should be guarded. Attempts to escape from harsh conditions motivate risk taking, as Saturn the oppressor is in retreat.

Sunday April 19^th – As the Venus-Neptune harsh square aspect continues, appeals for mercy or for humanitarian relief are strongly felt. The Moon now in Taurus, conjuncting Mercury and Mars (and sextile to Neptune in Pisces) gives voice to the suffering. A shift in power and human resources is underway, as Mars approaches a trine aspect to Pluto, initiating combined resources to overcome the problematic issues. The use of resources for the benefit of a massive project of global scale becomes evident.

Monday April 20^th – The Sun enters Taurus, the sign of the Bull, a powerful Earth sign, draws energy inward to attain and maintain power. With 5 planets (including the luminaries) now in Earth signs, and 3 planets in Fire signs, resources (Earth signs) are now available for the implementation (Fire signs) of goals. Responsible action is needed to banish evil forces holding innocent victims captive. The stage is set for a powerful act in the history of humanity.

Tuesday April 21^st – As the Moon in Gemini opposes Saturn today, and sill also continue to combine energy with Venus, also with fortuitous sextile aspect to Jupiter in Leo, successful action can be taken today. The t-square formation with Neptune as the focal point, is also realigned with the lunar transit. We can divest the riches from the generous donors to apply to help remedy poverty and rescue the oppressed people in war zones. Riches do not belong to anyone, they are needed to help heal the world – Tikkun Olam. (look it up in Google if you don’t know).

Have an invigorating, productive week!
