Utilizing astrology for personal development, self understanding and enlightenment.
In astrology, each planet has a very specific function. The Sun, it is 'soul' that transmits an idea to Mercury, which shall forward it to Venus, who feels things. Then Mars puts into action and expresses this idea. Jupiter, in turn, give the expansion, and finally Saturn puts it in place.
Monthly Horoscope for April
The New Moon (first total solar eclipse of 2023) on April 8th occurs in Aries and the Full Moon on April 23rd falls in Scorpio. Mercury travels into Aries and will remain until May 14th (due to his retrograde motion. On April 6th Venus enter into Aries and will remain until April 29th. Mars sails into Pisces until April 30th. Jupiter is in Taurus until May 25. Saturn is in Pisces until February 2026. Uranus is direct in Taurus. Neptune is direct in Pisces and Pluto is direct in Aquarius.
When a planet is retrograde in our charts, it means that the properties of that planet, in a sense, are reversed. The times that Mercury goes retrograde defines a time for us to slow down and go within. Think about what is happening in our lives and where we are going. Most of us see this time as an annoyance, but once again, Astrology is a tool and we need to use the time for our benefit.
Generally speaking, during a Mercury retrograde, we can expect delays, traffic situations, problems in communications (especially with telephones and cell phones), computer problems, delays in mail, and we never want to sign any contracts or legal documents, especially long-term ones. We don't throw logic completely out the window, if something needs to be taken care of and is of an urgent nature, we don't put it off, we just do what we need to do and see what unfolds.
All Aries and Libra are affected by this solar eclipse. Personal life is the most likely area to suffer, especially your closest relationships. The effect of a Solar Eclipse can last up to six months even years, so allow yourself to be acutely aware of all that you set in motion the day before, the day of and the day after the Eclipse!
We want to clarify our daily and monthly horoscopes are general for all zodiac signs and do not take into account of your personal natal chart. For a personal reading click here
Pisces: The Aries New Moon on April 8 (also a Total Solar Eclipse) occurs in your second solar house of money and work shines its beams on your budget. This helps you get a clear picture of your income and expenses, and how you can better balance the two.
On top of that, Mercury, Chiron and Venus join this New Moon. This can be a boost to your finances through a raise, promotion or career shift.
Slow and steady wins the race though so enjoy the finer things in life without completely blowing through the extra funds you may find yourself having. Also, enjoy the boost to your self-esteem and take time to figure out how you can create more stability in your life! So, dream bigger!
Job hunting? Start your search in earnest. Spread the word through your network and send key contacts your resume. If you’re happy where you work, book a salary or performance review.
If you need more skills to earn a boost up the ladder, seek out training programs. Your efforts could pay off by the corresponding full moon in Aries on October 17th 2024.
On April 6th, Venus enters in Aries and will remain until April 30th. This influence can be financially either good or difficult, depending upon how you handle it. Financial opportunities may come up, but difficulties may arise from your tendency to be extravagant.
Mercury sails into Aries from April 4th to May 15th and in your second solar house of money. During this time your attention naturally turns to whatever you value in life, whether it be material, emotional or spiritual. You may have to define your sense of values to another person so that he or she knows where you stand on an issue.
On the mundane level, this influence often signifies that you are much more concerned with business and commercial affairs than usual. This can cover a broad range of activity, from shopping, business negotiation etc. Transactions will be more important and elaborate than usual.
As a result, you should be able to make the situation work out the way you want.
But, keep in mind that Mercury retrogrades from April 2nd to April 25. You should avoid signing papers or buying electronic goods during that time, so plan to do so now. You will start to feel a slowdown as early as April 2. Be as productive as you can, when your aspects are best, in mid- May.
Having Jupiter in your third solar house until May 25, this is about the written and spoken word, and other ways of getting a message across – like sign language, or work with images and symbols.
It naturally involves the technology that we associate with communication too, computers, fax machines, and telephones.
The web, your relationship with the media (if this is part of your career or lifestyle) and your regular attempts to be heard and understood via publishing or academia. Circle April/May in your diary.
Mars in your sign this month? Expect people to find you more aggressive over the next four weeks!
This should be a time of great activity in your life, when you work very hard to further your own interests and assert yourself among others.
You have the chance to show the world what you can do now. You come on to others with much more vigor than usual, and you are likely to make a great impression upon them at this time.
During this month, your personality is much more dominant than usual, but you aren't interested in having great power over others, as long as they don't try to dominate you.
You are perfectly happy as long as you are completely free to do whatever you want and to have your individuality acknowledged by others in whatever you do.
Your physical energy level is quite high, and you should be able to do a lot of work.
Saturn is in your Sign and your 1st house until May 2025. Your new slogan may be "Home is where MY heart is" as the future-oriented master teacher prepares two years of lesson plans designed to show you the value of a secure home and family life.
Are your goals for family planning coming true? Saturn will help you realize your ambitions and save money for the kind of long-term stability needed to support those dreams.
Take care of your health during this time, eat well, drink plenty of water, and try to regulate your sleep as Saturn in this position can disturb your appetite and sleeping patterns.
