TURNING POINT
A new month and April is set to be one where will be pushing through without really knowing where we are going, but innately trusting it’s the right thing to do! On the 1st we had a full moon in Libra that started off the month with what is known as the Pink Moon. It sat opposite the sign of Aries and was directing us to look deeply at what we want to let go off in our relationships (Libra and Seventh House relates to relationships) but also in our own personality. What is it we have outgrown and no longer can sit with? It may have been a turbulent few weeks with emotions coming up to release the old outworn feelings of the past and we are being asked to surrender and find balance within us. We need to speak our heartfelt truth and trust that it is the only way to move into this new era. But perhaps the deeper truth is that we acknowledge our patterns, our beliefs and our needs so that we can articulate in a more profound way in the future. It is our acknowledgment of all aspects of the soul. This leads us to the stellium of planets in Aries on the 17th. A stellium being more than two planets in the same sign. This time we have Neptune, Mercury, Mars, Saturn with the Sun and the new Moon on that date- but also accompanied by Chiron, where we meet our wound. It is a spectacular line up and not to be feared. Despite what we may read or see in the headlines. But we can feel it building even now and it is making us address something in us we may not have acknowledged before.
In between we have just had Easter and the portal that it always represents but it may have left you with a slightly heady feeling of not knowing what is coming next. It is the readdressing of our innate heart. We are looking at who we really are and why we have decided to come to Earth! It may be that we have to shed a lot of misunderstandings we had about ourselves!
The love of what we do and who we are is bringing us to somewhere in us we may not have looked before. Do you discard change because it is comfortable to stay in the old? Do you want to move forward but worried about how you let go without hurting others? This Moon is asking us to look at how we communicate with ourselves but also in relationships. In the outside world we may see the breaking away of old regimes and not necessarily the ones we thought were dogmatic! It may be that the underdog has to rise not just in us but in the outside world. All of the personal planets stationing in Aries will have us looking out on the world as if a warrior and understanding it was always about how we see ourselves in the world. We make a difference by being the one who seeks peace in the self, accepts ourselves whole heartedly even when knowing there is work to be done and to stop the criticism of everything and everyone!
ARIES
This is your month Aries. You know it and you feel it! You want to move through into a new era of your life with your birthday month but also the planets settling down in your sign means you are addressing a lot of issues you thought you had dealt with. You are seeing yourself and starting a new era. You may want to desperately make a move of any kind just to make something happen. But it is good to trust the process of what is happening and why you are holding so much just now. Is it to release or is it to learn something deeper about yourself as you set out on a new adventure that starts this month? Be the warrior Aries. You are learning to know when to make your move and trust the instinct that comes from discipline. Remember the lessons from your past Aries. Now is the time to overcome the cycle of reactionary choices and make new ones from a wisdom you have earned.
TAURUS
Your ruling planet Venus is back in your sign Taurus and you are happy about that. You feel more yourself! With so many planets in Aries and the fire it is bringing to the world you are trusting your heart when it comes to your own desires. You know best! But a little bit of you is going through the index of what you thought was necessary and you may be discarding some thoughts and worries that lay heavy on your mind. It is time to have more fun Taurus especially with your birthday month looming next month. But for now you are laying the foundations of something that holds your heart. It may be a new business venture or a relationship deepening. But it will always need to be something that elevates your day. You do not do things just for the sake of doing them – you give it your all. Now the planets are going to let you make a move you knew you could do all along! You are the best!
GEMINI
Your ruling planet, Mercury, is still in Pisces (13.4.26) but in four days it will join the Sun, Moon, Mars, Neptune and Saturn in Aries and you feel it. There is an ignition key that has just turned as Mars moved into Aries last week and you somehow feel there is a journey about to begin. There is Gemini. You do not do the mundane. It is not your style. Flamboyant is the word for Gemini. You love the dramatic and you love life! You want to live it and to be in it fully. Whatever feels like it is the mundane now is going to feel like an itch you cannot reach. You know what part of your life this is Gemini and it has been on going for a while. But there have been lessons learned and it is not entirely time wasted. You do not even have to make huge changes! It may be a case of looking at how you look at the situations around you. Where you fit in and where you would like to expand your hopes and dreams. The path will open. It has to as the key to the ignition has been turned and the momentum is building. Jupiter also moves into your sign next month and it will expand your hopes and dreams! Uranus will also be in your sign from the 25th of April so it can only mean full steam ahead! You love the drama of it all! Go on admit it you do!
CANCER
Jupiter moves into Gemini next month and it will give you a rest Cancer. You have been expanding and opening to a new way of doing things and thinking. You want to settle into a little cosiness of early summer for a while. You want the lazy days to be here and to rest. It is all a bit much perhaps at the moment. But, and it’s a big but …the Moon, your ruling planet , will join the other personal planets including Chiron, in Aries next week and boy can you feel that. Chickens come home to roost perhaps. You may be trying to grab all of the spinning plates you had going to keep life in order but now there is an emotional empass. It needs to be purged and you may feel something you thought you knew as solid has been on rather shaky ground. You want to rebuild or start again and that is entirely ok. Just make it from a place in yourself that is not reacting to a situation. Make it from the famous heart of who you are and not the crab who steps sideways to avoid moving forward! A lot has cleared in your heart but honesty is an emotional business and it can only bring deeper feelings!
LEO
You are a fire sign as you know Leo. And you love the Sun! It is coming into the time of year you adore. You also have a need to enjoy life at its fullest and if you have found yourself over extended for a while it is coming to a head. You want to change not just for the sake of change but for the sake of finding a new more harmonious way. The nodes of the Moon will be changing this year in July and your destiny is realigning to that. The North Node will be in Aquarius – your opposite sign – and the South Node will be in Leo. You have navigated a lot in the last year Leo especially with work related things. But for now you are seeing how you fit into a new world that is being created around you and your place in it. Your dreams matter and this is the year you want to make them solid. Family matters to you and you are creating a new way with family also. Leo is the Sun! It is also the inner child and the heart that always looks for the brighter side of life. It will shine on you now Leo.
VIRGO
You are waiting Virgo. Patiently and secretly waiting. You know what you want but kind of deny it. You want to move into a part of your world that you have not inhabited yet and it may be a relationship that you want to explore. It may actually be the relationship with yourself! But you are like a traveller getting ready to make the voyage and as we move closer to the personal planets including your own, Mercury, being in Aries, you will be fired up even more so. More so for a Virgo anyway lol. You are the dreamer of the zodiac Virgo – you know that. You are the one who can dream a world into reality. But you hold yourself back with your Mercurial mind of ‘what if’ or ‘should I.’ This month sees you address so many things about yourself. How you want your world to be and how creative you are! You are very creative and you may not have been able to explore that up to now. But you want to and it will be part of the road ahead. In whatever way that needs to be for you. The Aries Moon on the 17th and the line up holds a cast of characters you know you hold inside you and want to explore. Go for it!
LIBRA
You want to look for a way to move ahead Libra but to keep balanced. Not to be torn by the wanting to please and the need to bring harmony. The door is opening this week and you feel it too. Just like everyone else you want to see where you left your dreams behind and why. But you are coming to terms with how much you had to negotiate those dreams with others so as to let them fit into the world you inhabited. But there is a feeling within you of what is not being brought into your new world. You know what you want to leave behind perhaps? Your ruling planet in Taurus now serves to make you grounded in your thoughts and actions but the line up of planets in the firey Aries will have you struggling to keep that balance in check. But do not struggle too much Libra. Let the fire in you come up to meet the heart of what you love as Venus and Jupiter will also be expanding your view of your income (second house) and your material world. How do you make your money? Is that about to change because of your heart wanting to do something that makes it sing? Trust the process as with all signs this week Libra.
SCORPIO
Your modern ruling planet (Pluto) is residing in Aquarius as you know. But your traditional ruler (Mars) is part of the line up under this new Moon in Aries on Friday the 17th April. There is a lot of feelings within you now Scorpio of how you present yourself to the world. The I Am of Aries and the personal planets is fuelling a genuine rebellion both within and in the world. You want to resist perhaps and allow for a gradual awakening but this may actually be a really big awakening just for you! You wanted it and need it but there is still a part of you that fears it! You do not want to be judged for being you anymore. You also do not want the attention it may bring you… But there is the nub of it all Scorpio. You are the one who has the depth of character to bring out anything that needs to be filled with the light. That is now. To let go of the past and to see it for what it really was – learning. No grudges and no unforgiveness can be in the world you inhabit now. Take the bull by the horns literally as your opposite sign is Taurus where Venus is residing now. See what is deeply held in you that love is trying to awaken once again. It is a spring flower of your heart that dares to love – despite the history of what went before.
SAGITTARIUS
Your ruling planet (Jupiter) still holds court in Cancer for a little while Sagittarius. It has been an on going thing the last few months where you have been seeing how family and extended family works in your life. You may have seen your role in a clearer way and how you hold a place of wisdom in the heart of that family. Hold that now and cherish it. Look aside the cares and concerns of daily life and perhaps look at how you have earned your reputation of being someone who cares deeply. Who also serves as a wise counsellor and friend to many. But for one moment this week as all the other personal planets reside in the fire of the I Am of Aries under the new Moon, take a moment to appreciate your journey to this point. To see how it took guts and sometimes a struggle only you know about. It is time to begin again and you feel the weight of the past is lifting to reveal a new way of home and family that may not have seemed possible even weeks or months ago.
CAPRICORN
Your opposite sign, Cancer, has been hosting the planet Jupiter for the last while and you have felt that expansion also Capricorn. It has been a deep dive into what and who you call family. Where the location may be and where the future may bring you. But at the heart of it all you have been lifting the veil of what you saw as reality. A gentle peacefulness has been resting on your shoulders like a gossamer mantle perhaps. You want more of that in the future Capricorn as the struggle to find you has been one of an epic journey! The letting down of the barriers you held up to protect the foundations of your heart has been on going and you now find yourself actively expressing what you hold in there. Your ruling planet, Saturn, is also part of this impressive stellium on the 17th April in Aries. The I am is the turning of the astrological wheel as Aries holds the aspects of those planets under its new Moon. It is asking you to accept gracefully the role that will present itself to you in the coming age. To see the journey as the mystery school it has been and to look forward to sharing the story of you in the future!
AQUARIUS
Hold on. Hold on…..Hang on you say what do you mean ‘hold on.’ Not ‘hold on’ as in wait Aquarius but rather keep a hold of your senses and your immense strength as you work your way through these times. Navigate the journey as only an Aquarian can by finding peace in the midst of a storm of change. Find your happy place and stay there! But most of all find the person you know you are in the middle of chaos and see him or her rising up in your estimations. See the one you thought didn’t actually exist and allow the transformation to happen in the coming days, weeks and months ahead. Hold on to your hat maybe! But do not hold on to the old outworn ideas of others you know just do not fit into this new era. You want to join forces with like minded people perhaps but you are wary of motives as an Aquarian you have been burned too many times with people using your open hearted way of communicating. But these times are calling you. Uranus your ruling planet is in Taurus with Venus! What love calls to you? Can you ignore it any longer? No. In fact it is growing in intensity with this new Moon and it is something you only need surrender to in you!
PISCES
Neptune, your ruling planet, is of course in the sign of Aries. Together with so many others lol. You may be hiding behind a cushion just now Pisces. Your life seems to be moving at a rate of knots and if it isn’t that is because you are hiding! What have you got to hide! Is it the fact that you are a dreamer and illusion is your happy place? Well that may be a bonus now as we dream a new world into existence. Make your world a comfortable place Pisces but make it one where you swim out into the new horizon and build a foundation of trust. Trust your instincts. Trust the way you seem to be moving through these times even if they challenge you. Because something much bigger is at play here and we all know that. You need find comfort in the momentary joys but you also need to know its ok to start appearing in public and being you lol. There are hands that need holding now and you may be the one who needs to reach out to others and show how comfort is found! Keep going!!!
Mantra for this week:
I AM ENOUGH!
