The center cannot hold this April. The long, gunky stretch of retrogrades arresting the most personal planets bursts at a crescendo, setting off a cycle of intense release. After the fire and flood, April regains the precious balance lost in the previous season, reminding us that everything is a temporary test shaping one’s internal terrain.
Mercury turns direct in Pisces on April 7th, followed by Venus also turning direct in Pisces on April 12th, quenching the soul of our self-worth with sensitive confidence and idealism. Synchronicities speak with authority as a cycle of missed opportunities and false starts closes with an eye on authentic alignment, articulated by a Libra Full Moon on April 12th. As Earthlings, we have every reason to bask in hope, believing in life, love, and the will to pull out the good from every damp darkness and singed disappointment.
Talk is anything but cheap this month, with Mercury entering Aries on April 16th and Mars diving head-first into Leo on April 18th, ready to speak your most delusional aspirations into reality. Mars is confidently moving direct, in tandem with Mercury, totally unimpeded by a pesky, soul-sucking retrograde cycle. Actions taken with warm gusto and passion lead to success, deserved pride, and a sustaining joy that may have eluded us through a frustrating winter.
Green shoots of possibility sprout during the Taurus New Moon on April 27th, encouraging a life of secure physical and monetary stability and uncomplicated beauty. Planting supportive seeds now could lead to a lush summer garden. Mix your pragmatism with luxury.
