Thoughtfulness, Balance, and Action
APRIL IS THE INTENSEST MONTH
A pril may not be the cruelest month, but it is intense, with three lunations occurring in three different signs. The month begins with the New Moon in Aries on the 1st, followed by the Full Moon in Libra on the 16th, and ends with the New Moon in Taurus on the 30th. The areas in your chart where Aries and Taurus reside mark areas in your life where new beginnings occur, while Libra’s location pinpoints areas in which you feel fulfilled and validated.
Venus and Mars, which rule the signs the New and Full Moons occupy, begin the month conjoining Saturn in Aquarius. While slow-moving Saturn stays there for another year, Venus enters Pisces on the 5th, and Mars follows suit on the 14th, joining Jupiter and Neptune, which form a conjunction there on the 12th. The emphasis on Aquarius and Pisces means that your focus moves from selfinvolvement and personal relationships to concern for other people, your community, and making the world a better place.
Mercury begins the month in Aries and moves into Taurus on the 10th, where it joins Uranus to forge an atmosphere of innovative ideas, which culminates when the Sun enters that sign on the 19th. Communicate what you learn through involvement with selfless activities to others, who you hope will join you on your altruistic journey.
