MONTHLY HOROSCOPES

Aries

Mercury turns retrograde in Aries from April 1st.   So the pace of life is switching around, information is mixed and plans need to be fluid.  However, this is a great month re-discovering what you want.   The Aries solar eclipse on the 8th close to both Chiron and the North Node is your portal into a fate and destiny moment where you can combine willpower with the whisperings of the cosmos.   Later this month is the grand Jupiter-Uranus connection and the sense that fortune favours the brave.  Some of April will feel jolty but by April 30th when Mars enters your sign for a six week stay you’ll be ready to take things to the next level.

Taurus

During Aries season you often feel as if you’re waiting in the wings and this year with Mercury turning retrograde from the 1st it’s actually a good idea to bide your time before taking action.   Watch what unfolds at the Aries eclipse on the 8th yet keep yourself anchored and secure.   On the 19th when the Sun moves over the line into Taurus you will start to feel lit from within.  This is followed on the 21st by an unusually powerful set of aspects.   Jupiter and Uranus meet in your own sign for the first time in 83 years!   So this super-hoopla energy is likely to be a first for you and is exact on the same day as the Sun squares off to Pluto, planet of transformation.   So, Taurus – set your intentions and align with the wow-factor!

Gemini

As your ruler Mercury is doing a back-flip through the heavens between April 1st and 25th you need to train as in the Cirque de Soleil in order to ride the changing movements of the month.  It’s also the Aries solar eclipse (total) on April 8th which focuses you on those people who are able to keep up!   You’re cutting chords with what feels heavy and onerous and your guardian angels are lining you up for something expansive and exciting which is likely to come through from late June onwards when abundant Jupiter enters Gemini.  Look forward, not back.

Cancer

As the crab moves in and out of the shell, you’re used to doing a dance between introvert and extrovert so you can use this super-power to alter your pace during April.  You’re picking up on conflicting currents of energy which go back and forth and can dive in and out accordingly.   Whilst plans may change frequently, this is because you are operating on a process of elimination.  What’s helpful is that cutting things out creates space for remarkable and thrilling possibilities to form which thread through much of Spring and Summer.

Leo

Journeys of the mind and feet are uppermost during Aries season and with the solar eclipse here on April 8th you might be signing up for something that will take you the distance mentally or physically.  Whilst Mars lingers in your zone of joint finances there’s work to do regarding how things are put together between yourself and a partner or an organisation.  On the 21st breakthrough energy is heralded with the Jupiter Uranus union which offers you expansion in your life direction.

Virgo

It’s hard to get a handle on details when the smooth flow of information is interrupted by Mercury  retrograding for most of April. Yet, as you know, this is the perfect time to look into outstanding issues and make preparations for next steps.  Financial and personal relationships are centre stage with new beginnings forming at the solar eclipse on the 8th.    Be your practical self around the 10th and 29th when having your feet on the ground is your most valuable asset.  Holding steady is also important around the 21st when excitement lifts your future to another level.

Libra

Whilst so much energy is pulsating in the relationship angle of your chart including a total solar eclipse on the 8th, you’re very much drawn to or impacted by others who seek to make decisions for you.  Is this what you want Libra?   As Mercury is retrograde it’s important to examine the small print carefully and take time to consider the implications of what’s happening.  Change may be long overdue and you long for closure which tempts you to venture forth yet it is wise to take things one step at a time and continually check in with what really works for you.

Scorpio

You are in the midst of on-going changes which are altering the rhythm of your everyday life and working pattern.  As Mercury retrogrades through most of April it’s a case of being fluid enough to adapt in the moment whilst being available for a radical make-over.  The big news this month downloads on the 21st as Jupiter unites with Uranus in the relationship angle of your chart and your prospects receive a huge boost.  This is followed by the Scorpio Full Moon on the 24th which encourages you to make all-important decisions.

Sagittarius

So much emphasis on the most playful angle of your chart helps to lift your spirits this month and the solar eclipse on the 8th sparks a new lease of life which will unfold over the next six months.  Jupiter your ruling planet is also in cahoots with Uranus generating a new 14 year cycle so think back to 2005/6 when the last one began and make a strategy for your long term plan.  Home and family matters are coming up to be sorted too.

Capricorn

Personal matters are of the utmost importance this month and the solar eclipse on the 8th suggests you need to re-orient your work/life balance accordingly.   As Mars meets with sensible Saturn it’s all about the bottom line on the 10th and you, more than most people are very tuned into the practicalities of a situation.  Around the 21st your story-line takes an unexpected turn which could prove both surprising and delightful.  Opening up to something outside of the box could be very refreshing.

Aquarius

There are so many moving parts to this month that you realise it’s best to just deal with things as they arise rather than setting plans in stone.  For a start, Mercury turns retrograde on the 1st and therefore all new proposals must be viewed against a backdrop of flexibility and adjustments, so you will need to think on your feet.  Financially there are some non-negotiable you’re aware of on the 10th, yet the excitement of the rare Jupiter-Uranus conjunction on the 14th prizes open the start of a new era and cycle which is gong to take you places over the next 14 years.

Pisces

Mercury’s retrograde is never exactly smooth but on top of that there is the huge swing of energy between Venus and Neptune being blissed out in your sign on the 3rd followed by Mars and Saturn meeting  on the 10th which takes you to a reality check then another  dreamland union between Mars and Neptune on the 29th.   So hold as steady as possible even though the currents are swirling.  Change is in the air and you need to be fluid enough to handle what comes up in the moment whilst recognising some opportunities are of the once in a life-time variety.
