The Sun on its’ path through Aries, and finally adding some Fire to the mix. Mercury also enters Aries on the 3rd, and closely followed by Venus on the 6th. This fortnight has us at the tail end of the moon cycle, with the New Moon on the 6th, also in Aries. Quite the change of pace and focus, from Pisces to Aries. The time of year when we notice changes, in the environment, no matter where we live on the Planet. In Aries, everything is close to the surface and things are taken personally; very personally. Tempers are quick to rise, and spontaneous events are likely to occur. Wherever Aries, is placed in your chart, is where you are dynamic and like to keep moving, progressing and adventuring. The place where confrontations are likely to take place. This is the time to take a chance, a gamble and to try something, just for the experience of it. Everyone will be the leader, and to that end, it is a hard time to find people to do the actual work. Mars, still in Cancer, will be squared by all the Aries Planets. For those who are sensitive, be warned that there will little tact used, and your feelings could take a battering. Jupiter also creating a sense of too much, of everything. Aggression will be notably on the increase. Be careful what you choose at this time, as hasty responses, could end in disappointment later. Do your best to muster a little
patience and discrimination.
NEW MOON 16 Aries 44 April 06, 2008 11:56 a.m.
ARIES: Full steam ahead for you this fortnight. I have mentioned all the Aries traits and challenges in the intro, and they apply, with an emphasis, to you. This month will be filled with challenging situations, and you are no stranger to these waters, so will take all, in your stead. This is the time for you to move ahead, with any projects and schemes, you have been dreaming up, in the past weeks. With fire in your belly and wind in your sails, no enterprise could be too large, for you, to undertake.
TAURUS: Venus headed for those fiery Aries realms, this fortnight, has you experiencing itchy feet. Perhaps you could take the beloved on an
adventure, or maybe you are feeling to go it alone, for a while. Whichever the case, you will definitely be wanting a change to the normal routine of things. A little breathing space, is a good thing, to get a fresh perspective on yourself and perhaps the opportunity to pull back a few of those projections, which have been strategically aimed at your partner.
GEMINI: Mercury Aries, is giving you some creative insights, by the beginning of April, boosted along by the Plutonic energies, which will see things abruptly ignited. If you are wanting to avoid an argument, then it is probably better that you use the energy in a non-hostile fashion, perhaps by journaling your insights. Be prepared to back up, what you say, as others are quick to take offense. Directness is called for, and if you are at all prone to avoidance, or procrastination, then it is probably better to keep your mouth shut, or be ready to fight.
CANCER : As Mars continues in your sign, giving you some much needed juice to complete your tasks, take note that others are subject to its’ emanations as well. What that means, is that emotions are on the surface, and very easily triggered. You can relate to that! So perhaps this is the opportunity for you, to state your case, or expose something which has been laying, just beneath the surface, for some time. Ears may be more receptive, than you thought possible. Feel the waters, and make your way slowly.
LEO : Finally, things are up to speed. It has been a long, wet, haul, over the past weeks. Use this window of opportunity to gain headway in your work and other projects. You will be feeling the juices switched on again, in all areas of your life. Like everyone else, you could get caught up, and overdo things. Going into situations with your eyes wide open, and honest appraisal, could save you a lot of headaches later. Take the time, then, to work out a plan, and set yourself some goals.
VIRGO : Quick thinking, is what is needed here. You just don’t have the luxury to go about things in an ordered fashion. People are looking for answers and they want them now. If you are finding yourself challenged, then better to just take a deep breath, rather than freak out and feel insecure, or lash out at someone else. It’s o.k. to not know and to make mistakes occasionally. We all do it, and it’s perfectly alright. Everyone is so busy with their own agendas, that there will be little time, to notice mistakes now, anyway.
LIBRA : Planetary ruler Venus, goes into Aries, which is your opposite sign. A little opposition can be a good thing. Bringing the two signs into harmony, is your challenge over the coming weeks. The marriage of the two, without compromising individuality, is the task at hand. Maintaining your own life, while melding and merging with another. It is all too easy, to just lose oneself, in the pea soup of relationship; with the greater challenge, being able to constantly change, to suit the evolving needs of both parties, within the bonding.
SCORPIO : Pluto, freshly in Capricorn, is bringing a new focus to your life. Where there was expansiveness, there is now concern, over the smallest details of daily living. This brings your attention, into a much finer point of view. It really is, just the process, of making the shift from one expression to another, with the corresponding release of outdated behavior. We have some months to adjust, to the new mode, so don’t sweat the small details. Everything will fall naturally into place, at the appropriate time. Forcing the procedure, only creates pressure.
SAGITTARIUS : Jupiter brings hope in the area of work. This is not your everyday type work, necessarily speaking, it is more, what you have dedicated your life to. Your life purpose. So if you are feeling compelled to change jobs, or careers, that’s perfectly normal, and very much the case, for many, at this time. Bringing our lives into alignment, as we grow and evolve, is all a part of the life process. Be willing to shed, those skins and layers, which are no longer necessary, for the new you. Allow yourself some space and time, to grow in grace and with ease.
CAPRICORN : Another few weeks of Saturn retrograde, and you will have sorted yourself for the next round of forward motion. Pluto and Saturn will dance closely together over the coming weeks, which could be the harbinger of change and release, in your life. This is a good time, to get rid of any clutter, in the form of material possessions, as well as the mental kind. Any thinking, which no longer supports your life, needs to be gently let go of. There is absolutely no point, beating yourself up over slip ups; it only lengthens the process.
AQUARIUS : Uranus, making its’ way through Pisces, until 2011, softening the hearts of humanity. Neptune in Aquarius, at the same time, bringing spirituality into a common theme of love, also uniting humans, within their humanity. The end date of the Mayan calendar, and the dawning, of a new age of light, upon the planet, say many. The Hopi’s, Mayan’s, Tibetan’s and ancient Hebrew cultures, along with others, all predicting man’s evolution. You, as an Aquarian, are easily able to grasp and hold, these ideas and vibrations.
PISCES : Allowing the rewiring process, in our cellular memory, is at times, a bumpy ride. It is a good thing, to find a way to ground yourself, when the energies become too intense. To simply walk barefoot, on the earth, or to sit on a rock and to deeply connect with the core of the earth, while breathing deeply, is an exercise well worth embracing, each day of your life. Gratitude, is a prayer which carries us, through all trials and tribulations. Even when all seems, hopeless, there is something to be grateful for.
