This is an interesting and varied month for you, Cancer, in that you have a tremendous ally on your side in the highlighted presence of expansive Jupiter, exalted in your sign, where he is now located, plus just recently having stationed to direct motion. Jupiter is highlighted in the recent Pisces New Moon from mid-March, affecting the first two weeks of April, being in square with Venus. Jupiter is also found all month in close counter-parallel to Pluto. The Pluto connection implies that your sense of transformation and evolutionary change goes on apace, in your sector of intimacy and of exploring your depths, potentially affecting your key partnerships. Venus is the ruler of your fourth sector of home and family, and so could bring positive developments to familial connections and your dwelling space, implying as well a further opening-out of your understanding of your own root psychology. Your emotional connection to home and family is also brought out by the Libra Full Moon of April 1st, when the Moon located there brings your emotional focus to this significant area, renewing attachment to the private side of your life. This even as the gathering of planets in Aries in this Full Moon simultaneously points to an extremely active vocational situation for you. Your social sector is also active for you now, so that friends and group connections might see some degree of illusion or conflict, and yet also a more positive trend of future-heading changes, with the tendency for sudden and unexpected swerves in the curve, due to highlighted Uranus in Taurus, altering what you thought was happening. There is also a ton of development possible for you in this current month, in terms of your most fundamental beliefs and worldview, another area of rapid development and meditative questioning and focus, because Mercury is still recovering – through the first full week of the month – from its recent retrograde there. On another note, you could find that inner wounding continues to come up for you, perhaps in connection with vocational situations, and yet you might come to recognize that it is in your own best interest to become more familiar with it by giving loving acceptance to these hidden parts of your deep psyche. There is additionally loads of activity around career and profession, especially in the aftermath of the potent Aries New Moon of the 17th. While there are likely to be disruptions still, in what is essentially a disruptive time, you have a good chance this month to seize the day and allow your evolutionary development to continue to prosper.

Previous New Moon in late Pisces – March 18th
Through mid-April, the recent New Moon in late Pisces continues to activate your ninth sector of beliefs, worldview, and education as well as your tenth sector of career and authority. Now it’s time to nurture the seeds recently planted in these areas of your life! The focus on these areas of life continues for the first two weeks of April, and with Mercury slowly recovering from its recent retrograde, working through its post-retrograde shadow period until April 9th, this allows you to begin making better and novel choices now. As you’re also acclimating to Saturn and Neptune moving through your tenth sector, professional and public developments may feel less confusing and more significant. Mars, ruler of that Aries sector, is trine Jupiter in your sign and raring to go. The changes unfolding now are likely to shape this area of life in a lasting way!

Full Moon in Libra – April 1st
This auspicious Full Moon in Libra illuminates your most private sector – your fourth sector of home and family, central to your emotional world. The Moon could be nudging you to alternate your focus from professional concerns to familial – as the Aries Sun has been powerfully pulling your focus towards your career and public life all season. This is a good time to check in with your family and assess how you’re feeling – how regulated you feel and how much your work structure is affecting your emotional wellbeing. Due to Jupiter in your sign squaring the Moon, emotions and self-image can feel inflated! With the trine between Mercury and Jupiter, you’ll likely be able to articulate your emotions – even if they come off as a bit dramatic.

Sun Square Jupiter – April 3rd - 7th
The exalted Aries Sun in your tenth sector of public life squares exalted Jupiter within your first sector of identity. Over these few days, your urge to personally grow and expand your world can clash with your current public image or career responsibilities. And this tension incites positive action! Action that would help you find balance between personal goals and career aspirations. One warning: because you likely feel more confident in yourself and are in the mood to blow past any and all limitations – you could easily overpromise and underdeliver professionally, thinking you can take on more than you can actually handle.

Mars Enters Aries and Conjuncts Neptune – April 9th - 14th
Mars starts its five-week long transit through its domicile of Aries, with a bit of disorientation: Mars’ signature action-oriented energy is immediately subdued by an encounter with dreamy Neptune! You might feel that professional life or the demands of your public image are draining during this conjunction. Addressing career-related issues or matters with authority can be confusing or frustrating. Authorities can refer to bosses, parents, or even leaders within society. More positively, Neptune could be encouraging you to take spiritual public action, forgive others in your life or integrate more compassion into your professional world.

Sun Conjunct Eris and Chiron – April 14th - 17th
As the Sun conjuncts Chiron and Eris in your tenth sector of public reputation, career and accomplishment, inner wounding, stemming from painful memories of authorities treating you poorly in the past may become more acknowledged through showing up. An internal wound stemming from your relationship to societal expectations, professional disappointments, disputes with parents, or with authority in general can also be present. Eris’ involvement can enhance discomfort and rage, and yet also make for a purposeful attempt at better internal clarity. It may become obvious to your deeper psychological process that your awareness and acceptance of yourself and these wounds is an advantage that needs tending to and expressing!

Mercury Enters Aries and Conjuncts Neptune – April 14th - 17th
Mercury conjuncts Neptune in your prominent tenth sector of public status and professional responsibilities. You could temporarily experience mental fog, especially when it comes to making professional decisions and have trouble articulating when conversing with authorities. You’ll find it easier to trust your gut and read body language rather than to be totally relying on logic. You might also be in the mood to integrate more artistry or compassion into your professional life and be gentler with yourself around your ability to accomplish career goals.

New Moon in Aries – April 17th
The New Moon comes together within your public tenth sector, where the Aries Sun has been pulling your consciousness all season. It would be natural to start anew within the realms of your professional life, reassessing the structure and responsibilities. Since this lunation is in late Aries, near your eleventh sector of community and long-term goals, your understanding of your objectives may also be affected! You could be prone to feeling a bit defensive about your career goals, current achievements, or public image, and yet brave emotional expressions and courageous actions are possible! The conjunction to Chiron heightens sensitivity so that acknowledging these wounds could take you to a more authentic space of emotional expression, and it may help you begin anew in a way that truly soothes you.

Mercury Conjunct Mars and Saturn – April 18th – 22nd
This triple conjunction, involving both malefics and Mercury, forms in your prominent tenth sector – a sector you’ve become quite familiar with recently! Professional projects can hit a standstill, disagreements with authorities can put certain things on hold, and serious conversations around career goals and structure can take place. You may want to quickly solve professional problems, but patience and ambition is likely the key to long-lasting progress within this area of your life. A contract or business plan could be delayed, and yet there are lessons in the proceedings now. It’s a cinch that any disagreements with authorities could slow you down and provide new awareness of what not to do. It would be wise to take your time and reach for positivity in reacting to these blocks.

Sun Enters Taurus – April 19th
When the Sun enters Taurus, your uplifted eleventh sector of friendship, allies, and hopes and dreams for the future, all these areas could come to the forefront. This annual transit can also pull your focus towards your concerns for humanity and the people you know who share these same concerns. Collaboration and teamwork could be highlighted, so that you may feel more confident about your long-term objectives and the people you choose to surround yourself with!

Venus Conjunct Uranus – April 21st – 23rd
Since March 30th, Venus has been in her domicile sign of Taurus and your eleventh sector – supporting beautiful collaborations, friendship, and easeful networking, or perhaps persuading you to fall back in love with your long-term objectives. Now, you are possibly adding new objectives that have to do with relationships or integrating more peace into your life. Venus’ alignment with the turbulent archetype of Uranus can temporarily destabilize some social connections, and also, fantastic creative breakthroughs can occur which assist you in feeding long-term objectives that are totally new and more authentic to you! New friendships can also take form!

First Quarter Moon in Leo and Venus Enters Gemini – April 23rd
This First Quarter Moon can highlight a three-way tension between your resources, shared resources, and your long-term objectives. This T-square can feel intense, yet it can also assist you in connecting deeply with your values and self worth – helping you gain more clarity around which long-term objectives should be prioritized now. On the same day, Venus moves into your twelfth sector of retreat, healing and unconscious material. While Venus transits Gemini, it may be easy to be gentler with yourself and enjoy some solitude and rest. Inner work and spiritual healing practices can attract you now, bringing you to greater harmony and balance.

Uranus Enters Gemini – April 25th
New developments may begin to surface as Uranus settles into Gemini, in your twelfth sector of subconscious material and solitude. This ingress begins a long-term period of shifting your unconscious habits, your relationship with restriction (self-imposed or involuntary) and possibly your connection to spiritual healing. This is the start of integrating new ways to cope with life, loss and physical limits. All of these shifts can assist you with breaking unhealthy patterns or escapism, and instead, facing your fears and finding peace in solitude.

This is a pivotal month for you, Libra, especially so since the Aries Equinox has already taken place last month, leading to a collection of planets in your opposite sign of Aries. This implies that April is, for you, the season of the Other, when you are called upon to recognize the impact of your key relationships upon your life as you reach for the balance point that members of your sign are famous for. Of course, it is still your own evolutionary progress that is in many ways paramount, even as you meditate and evaluate the impact upon you of your most important partners. In the recent late Pisces New Moon of March 18th, just two days before the Equinox, Venus, your ruler, was highlighted, located in the middle of Aries, again emphasizing your partnerships, and in close square with prominent Jupiter in your tenth sector of career and vocation, bringing your outer persona and career choices in as well. Pluto was in close parallel to Jupiter, so that his transformative effect on your sector of creative self-expression, romance, and joyful expectations cannot be overlooked and is a significant part of your month’s developmental progress. Numinous Neptune was also highlighted in your opposite sign, along with Saturn close by, implying that there are ups and downs in your relationship dynamic now, as well as limitations to contend with there, plus mystical depths to explore. Because Uranus and Pluto are also both highlighted in the recent Pisces New Moon, the presence of Uranus on the very edge of your ninth sector of higher mind, beliefs, and worldview, implies sudden unexpected revelations in that life department. Such intuitional flashes from deep inside your psyche can be regarded as simply another avenue to truth, although of a different and perhaps more mystical kind, that you do well to admit into your reflective process of increasing awareness. The Full Moon in your sign on the evening of the very first day of April – surprise! – features a stellium of several planets near the Aries Sun. In the subsequent Aries New Moon, taking place on the 17th, there are no fewer than eight planets in your opposite sign, implying a degree of complexity and a multi-variant theme that covers the second half of the month, not only one idea going on within your relationship dynamic, but several perhaps contradictory ones, stimulating adjustments on your part and a toleration for paradox.

Previous New Moon in late Pisces – March 18th
Through mid-April, the recent New Moon in late Pisces continues to activate your sixth sector of workplace, health habits and service to others as well as your seventh sector of relationships – encouraging you to explore changes in these areas and continue to nurture the seeds recently planted in these parts of your life. Clarity gained around these subjects, since this lunation, should help you make better and better choices now. As you’re also acclimating to Saturn and Neptune moving through your seventh sector, developments around your relationships may feel more confusing and in need of clarity, and as well more significant. Your career is also more expansively related to your partnerships. The changes unfolding in April are likely to shape your relationship dynamic in a lasting way!

Full Moon in Libra – April 1st
This auspicious Full Moon in your sign spotlights the most prominent and sensitive sector of your chart – your first sector of self, identity, body and personal perspective. This Full Moon brings up issues of self and other and may, as the Aries Sun and other planets there have been powerfully pulling your attention toward your relationships all season long, be reminding you not to forget to focus on yourself. Due to Jupiter square the Moon and trine to Mercury, emotions can feel more extreme, although there is the possibility of communicating your feelings from a healthy place of empathy, compassion, and emotional clarity. Venus, your ruler, newly moving into Taurus or your intimacy sector is also significant now and could help you to emphasize internal priorities and inner moral compass over the pressures of the consensus in forming your most important decisions.

Sun Square Jupiter – April 3rd - 7th
The exalted Aries Sun in your seventh sector of partnership squares expansive Jupiter within your prominent tenth sector of public life and vocation. This may be good news for your career, although there is likely to be also a clash between new career success stories and your partnership dynamics! This aspect can also reflect a new pressure to uplevel your professional abilities, in order to satisfy a partner’s needs. Benefic squares tend to be positive, so there are likely wins ahead. With Jupiter involved it would be wise to keep in mind also a balance point of limitation or your heightened confidence in your career role at this time may persuade you into overpromising and under-delivering.

Mars Enters Aries and Conjuncts Neptune – April 9th - 14th
Mars starts its five-week long transit through its domicile, in Aries, your opposite sign corresponding to your relationship sector, with a bit of a slow phase. Mars’ signature action-oriented energy is immediately diffused by an encounter with mystical and unworldly Neptune! You might feel that partnership dynamics or interacting with others in general is a bit draining during this conjunction. Having to figure out where you stand in a relationship can also be disorienting or frustrating. More positively, Neptune may be also encouraging you to take spiritual action – to be as a result more compassionate, forgiving and understanding with others.

Sun Conjunct Eris and Chiron – April 14th - 17th
As the Sun conjuncts Chiron and Eris in conjunction within your seventh sector of relationships, an inner wound stemming from a past trauma affecting your partnerships could potentially come to the surface. Or this may possibly be inner wounding that stems from interacting with an early peer. Eris’ presence can enhance the consequences, the impact on your life purpose. This mid-month moment could represent a powerful few days that encourages transmuting difficult experiences into wisdom.

Mercury Enters Aries and Conjuncts Neptune – April 14th - 17th
Mercury conjuncts Neptune in your seventh sector of relationship to others. You could temporarily experience a form of mental fog or mystical orientation, especially regarding how to approach current relationship issues or concerns. Conversing with your partner and others can be confusing! You’ll find it easier to trust your gut rather than relying on logic. You might also be able to think yourself into showing compassion toward others or practicing forgiveness.

New Moon in Aries – April 17th
As the Moon aligns with the Aries Sun, a late Aries New Moon forms within your partnership-oriented seventh sector and affecting as well your eighth of intimacy. With the Sun and Moon conjuncting Chiron and Eris, you may feel especially defensive about your partnerships or encounter inner wounding there that has been lurking; possibly bringing up issues from past relationships. Your connection to your partner could be feeling emotionally reactive under this warrior-sign lunation, with Eris bringing this up as part of your evolving soul intention for yourself. This purifying fire could also support brave emotional expressions and courageous action, allowing you to begin new plans within this area of your life. Since this New Moon is in late Aries, your eighth sector of sex, intimacy, transformation and shared resources could also be affected, and purified, ready to start anew in some important way!

Mercury Conjunct Mars and Saturn – April 18th – 22nd
This triple conjunction, involving both malefics and Mercury, forms in Aries, or your seventh sector of others, open enemies, partners and contracts. Hitting a relationship standstill is possible, or a blockage, or even feeling like someone is working against you. A contract could be delayed, or disagreements with others can slow you down. With Saturn, there are always additional lessons to be learned in the process. For the moment, patience and devotion are likely the keys to progress within this area of your life. It may be wise to take your time in reacting to any relational developments.

Sun Enters Taurus – April 19th
As the Sun enters Taurus in your mysterious eighth sector of your psychological shadows, intimate connections, and personal evolution, these areas come into sharper focus. Partnership legacies might transpire or financial sharing like a joint bank account. The feelings, sexual experiences, and agreements you share with your partner could be highlighted. During this annual transit into this sector of transformation, the Sun invites confidence, so that you can more easily engage in self-discovery or depth investigations! Sexual awakenings are possible, or a grief process. Engaging in therapy may be helpful.

Venus Conjunct Uranus – April 21st – 23rd
Since March 30th, Venus, your ruler, has been in her domicile sign of Taurus and your eighth sector of partnership agreements and personal evolution – supporting easeful financial sharing, enjoyable sexual exchanges or perhaps assisting you in embracing important psychological shifts. Her alignment there with rebellious Uranus can reflect a temporary destabilization, with surprise events and exciting revelations. Intuition reigns, and novel psychological breakthroughs or unordinary sexual experiences could manifest Venus conjunct Uranus could also push you to view crises with more accepting eyes, adventuring into the wildness of life.

First Quarter Moon in Leo and Venus Enters Gemini – April 23rd
This First Quarter Moon highlights a three-way tension with the Moon opposed to Pluto and the Sun in square; thus between your urge for pleasure or children, versus your long-term objectives and the status of your shared resources. This T-square to the Moon from Sun and Pluto can feel intense, and it can assist you in deeply connecting to your emotions around how children and joy can be integrated into your long-term goals – and what may need to shift financially or as you embrace your own independent internal moral compass.

On the same day, Venus moves into Gemini and thus into your ninth sector of mentality, beliefs, and worldview. You could be moved to engage in travel, mental exploration, open your world to new perspectives, or embark on a new educational or spiritual pursuit. Getting outside your community and meeting people from different walks of life may prove particularly appealing.

Uranus Enters Gemini – April 25th
New developments may begin to surface as Uranus settles into Gemini, or your ninth sector of worldview, evolving beliefs, and education initiatives. This ingress also begins a long-term period of shifting your inner landscape and view on the outside world, paving the way to a deeper, more authentic set of beliefs or perhaps a better understanding of people from other cultures, countries, or religious backgrounds. Your curiosities about the world may be electrified!

This is another intense month for you, Capricorn, where home and family concerns may predominate along with your creative impulses. It is also the case that Jupiter in your opposite sign is highlighted during April’s first half, so that key relationships in your life could present a counter to self-involvement or even to necessary self-development. Your creativity and self-expression is also in many ways blossoming and might see a continuation of unexpected events and surprising revelations to the extent that you can stay open to the possibilities there, and this potentially includes joyful experiences with any children in your life as well as a potential romance that might unfold. The position of your ruler, Saturn, still closely conjunct Neptune, also is highlighted now and located in a significant area – namely your sector of the comforts of your home setting, which covers your dwelling space as well, plus your psychological roots plus familial dynamics and issues. With Chiron, the Wounded Healer also featured, precisely conjunct Eris, it is possible that inner wounding in this area could be on the menu this month also, perhaps allowing you to make important strides in recognizing, accepting, and healing these issues. The Pisces Full Moon that begins the month, transpiring on the 1st, is a powerful lunation that contrasts your public persona as far as career considerations with the private spaces of home and family concerns. Your creative impulses are also energized in this timing, along with the joyful aspects of earthly existence. An internal moral commitment to truth that is all your own might be a significant background theme to everything that is going on within you and with your social groupings. When the Aries New Moon of April 17th lands in that same root sector of your chart, relating to home and family, the Sun and Moon there are accompanied by a huge stellium of others planetary archetypes including prominent Chiron, with Saturn, your ruler, in the middle of it all. This presages a complex and varied set of energies, and perhaps personalities, as you continue to sort out home life and ever more fully understood psychological realities that affect you at the core and condition your evolving future.

Previous New Moon in late Pisces – March 18th
Through mid-April, the recent New Moon in late Pisces continues to activate your third sector of the mind, communication, and local environment as well as your sensitive fourth sector of emotional foundations, home and family. Now in April may be the time to nurture the seeds recently planted in these areas of your life! Clarity gained around these subjects, since the New Moon, should be enabling you to make new choices now. As you’re also acclimating to Saturn and Neptune moving through your fourth sector, of home and family, domestic and emotional developments may feel more significant. The changes unfolding now are likely to shape this area of life in a lasting way! Trickster Uranus, also activated in this recent New Moon, has a way of providing surprise events and flashes of intuitional enlightenment to your creative projects, just when you least expect it!

Full Moon in Libra – April 1st
This auspicious Libra Full Moon spotlights one of the most prominent and visible sectors of your chart – your tenth sector of vocation, public life and reputation. The Full Moon could be reminding you to focus on career goals and responsibilities, even though the Aries Sun has been powerfully pulling your focus toward home and family all season. You may recognize that restructuring domestic or professional duties is necessary in order for you to feel stable within your career or in terms of your general life’s direction. Due to the Sun and Moon additionally squaring Jupiter, in your opposite sign of Cancer, emotions can feel exaggerated, while with a trine to Mercury in your communications sector – you can succeed to articulate your feelings and to see greater value in partnership.

Sun Square Jupiter – April 3rd - 7th
The exalted Aries Sun in your emotional fourth sector squares exalted Jupiter within your seventh sector of relationships. Over these few days, your partnerships may expand and grow, or perhaps your marriage partner is going through an uplifted phase – which allows for more joy within partnership. This may be good news, but there could easily be a clash between familial duties and dynamics versus your partner’s expanding world, or the relationships growing. Squares inspire action, so try to notice the adjustment that is needed. Be aware of your over amplified confidence around partnership now – or perhaps thinking a relationship can withstand more than it truly can!

Mars Enters Aries and Conjuncts Neptune – April 9th - 14th
Mars starts its five-week long transit through its domicile in Aries, with a bit of confusion: Mars’ signature action-oriented energy is immediately subdued by an encounter with dreamy Neptune! You might feel that domestic life or familial responsibilities are a bit draining during this conjunction. Addressing family issues or topics related to the physical home can be disorienting or frustrating. More positively, Neptune may be encouraging you to take spiritual action – to be more compassionate, forgiving or understanding with your family or with yourself in regards to nurturing yourself emotionally.

Sun Conjunct Eris and Chiron – April 14th - 17th
As the Sun conjuncts Chiron and Eris in your fourth sector of emotional foundations, an inner wound stemming from your roots, ancestry, culture or even your country, could come to the surface. Or perhaps an old wound caused by a family member in the past. Although Eris’ presence can enhance discomfort and rage, this is a powerful few days that encourages transforming dark into light and addressing injustices.

Mercury Enters Aries and Conjuncts Neptune – April 14th - 17th
Mercury conjuncts Neptune in your fourth sector of home, family and your emotional world. You could temporarily experience mental fog around childhood memories and experience a slight disorientation or misunderstandings when dealing with family members or domestic duties. Especially regarding how to approach current domestic issues and concerns. Conversing with your domestic partner can suddenly be confusing! You may find it easier to trust your gut and read body language rather than relying on logic. You might also be in the mood to show compassion towards family, practicing forgiveness and having empathetic conversations.

New Moon in Aries – April 17th
The Aries New Moon comes together within your fourth sector, where the Aries Sun has been pulling your consciousness these last few weeks. It is natural to want to start anew within the realms of your domestic life and responsibilities now. And since this lunation is in late Aries, your fifth sector of creative expression, fun, and any children in your life could also be affected – becoming purified, ready to start anew in some way! With Chiron, the Wounded Healer, activated with new planet Eris in this New Moon, you may be feeling a bit defensive about your family or reactive towards them, although brave emotional expression and courageous action can get you through that for now! The conjunction of Sun and Moon to Chiron can heighten sensitivities, and yet this is a chance to make new emotional choices around how you want to feel about any vestiges of early childhood wounding that might come up.

Mercury Conjunct Mars and Saturn – April 18th – 22nd
This triple conjunction, involving both malefics and Mercury, forms in your domestic fourth sector – a sector you’ve become quite familiar with this month! Home projects can hit a standstill, domestic disagreements can put certain things on hold, and serious conversations around home, family and emotional stability can occur. Although you may want to quickly solve familial problems, patience, boundaries and devotion are likely to be the keys to long-lasting progress within this area of your life. It would be wise to take your time in reacting to these blocks. A contract could be delayed, or disagreements with others can slow you down. There are lessons to be absorbed in compensation for the lost time.

Sun Enters Taurus – April 19th
When the Sun enters Taurus, or your fifth sector of pleasure, creative expression and children, these areas come to the forefront. This annual transit pulls your focus towards the lighter side of life – who and what gives you pleasure, having fun, playing, working on hobby projects or feeding your creative side. You can feel especially confident in your talents and find ways to praise your children, too!

Venus Conjunct Uranus – April 21st – 23rd
Since March 30th, Venus has been in her domicile sign of Taurus and your fifth sector of good fortune – supporting play, pleasure, fun and creative expression! Enticing you with romance, sensual experiences and the nudge to beautify in your own style. Now, her alignment with rebellious Uranus can reflect a temporary shake-up this pleasant sojourn! Fantastic creative breakthroughs, sudden revelations, and possible sexual awakenings can occur! Uranus could also push you to break free of outmoded pleasure-seeking habits you’ve outgrown.

First Quarter Moon in Leo and Venus Enters Gemini – April 23rd
The First Quarter Moon can highlight a three-way tension between your resources, shared resources, and your children. It can also show up as a tension between your values, your partner’s values and your state of happiness. This T-square can feel intense, but it can also assist you in connecting intimately with yourself or with a partner in order to gain more clarity around how to bring more joy into your life. On the same day, Venus moves into your sixth sector of daily work and health. When Venus begins to transit Gemini, your day-to-day tasks may become easier to get through, making healthy choices for your body feels good and even your workplace can be more satisfying!

Uranus Enters Gemini – April 25th
New situations may begin to emerge as Uranus settles into Gemini, in your sixth sector of work, service and wellness. This ingress begins a long-term period of shifting your health habits. This is might also mark the start of new jobs, a new work ethic or perhaps a big and slow alteration to your day-to-day tasks. All of this paves the way to authentic daily practices and expressions in the workplace. You can also seek new and innovative health practices or you could be more attracted to jobs that involve humanitarian work or technology!

This is another interesting and consequential month for you, Aquarius, and one that represents, based on the recent late Pisces New Moon from mid-March, a fresh start in your sector of values and resources, including your finances. These are potentially in fluctuation, as the Sun and Moon from the recent New Moon configuration, lie in perfect sextile to Trickster Uranus, which is also your ruling planet, and located in your home and family sector where it is energized by several strong aspects. This affects your root psychology, perhaps your dwelling place, and as well your family setting in terms of its relationships, including the possible residue from your own early childhood trauma that is still very much alive for you as unconscious subtext to the present moment. Pluto is also highlighted in the Pisces lunation cycle playing out over the month’s first half; and Pluto is of course located in your sign, where it references the enormous process of metamorphosis that you are currently engaged in, for years maybe. You could perhaps be starting to feel the pinch. There is likely shadow material from deep inside you that needs to come to the light of your more conscious awareness, and as you are learning how to deal with all that, this month represents an important steppingstone to the next stage of your ongoing and essentially spiritual evolution. As the remaining planetary alignments of April presage, your communitive outreach, corresponding to the Aries sign, is also activated now, representing a process of curiosity and learning, leading to a better understanding of your own unique beliefs and worldview. With all these changes in the wind, you may well be asking yourself to what end? Gerard Manly Hopkins, the 19th century blank verse poet, apparently in similar circumstances, had this to say: “Why, that my chaff might fly, my grain lie shear and clear?” In other words, to become his most authentic self, as we are all challenged to become, through our experiences both good and difficult in this life. Astrology teaches us, in this way, that we can always have something to be thankful for; either things go well, or, even if they do not, we have something that we can learn, on the road to our own greater authenticity, as we can manage to travel it.

Previous New Moon in late Pisces – March 18th
The recent New Moon in late Pisces continues to activate your second sector of worth, values, and resources, as well as your third sector of the mind and local environment—encouraging you to nurture the seeds you recently planted in these areas of your life. Any clarity gained during this lunation may now be helping you make choices that support a new beginning, both in how you value yourself and what you prioritize, as well as in how you engage with your surroundings and direct your thoughts. As you’re also acclimating to Saturn and Neptune moving through your third sector, developments involving your neighborhood, siblings, or mindset may feel more significant.

Full Moon in Libra – April 1st
The Libra Full Moon of the first day of the month cheerfully fulfills elements of your ninth sector of philosophical exploration, education, travel, and new horizons! Under this lunation, you may find yourself investigating and drawing new conclusions about the inner workings of your communication process or aspects of inner wounding that are making their fragile way into conscious. It could also draw you to new educational or spiritual pursuits, as you feel the urge to broaden your perspective and deepen your beliefs– about yourself or about the world at large. With Jupiter squaring the Sun and Moon and trining Mercury, brilliant ideas, though edgy, are more than possible. You may come to recognize something you feel is essential to your growth that your local environment seems not to be providing and decide to go traveling.

Sun Square Jupiter – April 3rd - 7th
As the exalted Sun and Jupiter square your sixth and third sectors, your daily life and health routines hit a peak of expansion and confidence. You likely feel more mentally and physically capable, though overcommitting to work projects, community, or siblings is a risk. You may find yourself picking up new workplace skills or enhancing your communication. This is also a perfect time to explore educational or spiritual opportunities in your neighborhood that could improve your overall wellbeing. Enjoy this surge of energy, but stay mindful of your capacity to follow through.

Mars Enters Aries and Conjuncts Neptune – April 9th - 14th
Mars starts its five-week long transit through Aries, in one of its home signs, with a twist: Mars’ signature urgency and action-oriented energy is immediately complicated by an encounter with mystical Neptune! You might find your neighborhood or online community spaces disorienting and filled with illusion. Paradoxically, a conflict with a sibling or neighbor could dissolve! Neptune may be encouraging you to be more compassionate towards or protective of those in your local environment – paired with an urge to have your own opinions be accepted and empathized with.

Sun Conjunct Eris and Chiron – April 14th - 17th
As the Sun conjuncts Chiron and Eris in your third sector, wounds created during your early childhood schooling or regarding your mental function or communication abilities could be illuminated by the bold Aries Sun. Wounds created due to siblings or extended family members may come into your consciousness. Eris’ presence here can prompt you to descend into your depths for your most pressing passion and determine to act only upon that in finding your way forward toward solutions.

Mercury Enters Aries and Conjuncts Neptune – April 14th - 17th
With Mercury conjunct Neptune in your third sector, a temporary mental fog may cloud your logic and educational pursuits. Clear, rational thinking is elusive, making it difficult to find the right words or manage local logistics. However, this transit also brings a surge of forgiveness and understanding toward neighbors and family. You may feel drawn to spiritual groups or artistic expression within your community.
