Lunations and Long-term Aspects

The New Moon on April 3rd is in Aries, your 3rd house of thoughts, ideas, communications, neighbors, siblings, and short journeys which typically comprise your daily commute and errands you run close to home, though trips to familiar places, no matter how distant, are often included as well. For this lunation there is an almost unbelievable cluster of planets in Aries, throwing so much energy into that part of your life that if you don't encounter something new it will be more unusual than if you did. Not only are the Sun and Moon there as expected for the New Moon but Mars, Uranus, Jupiter and Mercury are as well. The New Moon system and Jupiter are all opposing Saturn, retrograde in Libra, which doesn't necessarily bode well for making progress but perhaps more likely for a new approach to an old or existing challenge. Libra is your 9th House of beliefs and expectations, religion, politics, legal matters, higher learning, other cultures, relocation and long distance travel. Thus, if you've been struggling with something in this part of your life it probably isn't going to be solved just yet, but look for clues, some of which may come unexpectedly or in an unusual way, which can point you to what the true obstacle really is and perhaps a new way to approach it.

Aquarius is sextile Aries by sign, an aspect with typically denotes an opportunity. With so many planets involved, many of you will encounter one that relates to the planet involved. Those of you born right around January 22 should watch for an innovative approach that begs for immediate action. Those with birthdays around February 3rd should look for an entirely new approach to whatever your primary issue is which probably falls in the 9th house as described above. If your birthday is a few days later, around February 5th, look for a chance to expand upon your original plans in some way. The last planet in the line-up, Mercury, will be most influential if your birthday is around February 13. Considering that Mercury is retrograde at this time, this implies that you should go back to the drawing board and rethink your current plans. As always with Mercury retrograde refrain from purchasing anything electronic or mechanical and expect such gadgets to be more prone to breaking down than usual.

Venus is in Pisces, your 2nd house of possessions, income, finances, valuables, needs and pleasures which should bring some luck your way in that part of your life. With Venus sextile Pluto in your 12th House of enlightenment, dreams, inspiration, angels and demons, perhaps you'll encounter something beneficial for your financial well-being. Neptune is but a sneeze away from leaving your sign and entering Pisces, bringing his dreamy influence to your house of income and so forth as well. This can be either positive or negative and is worth keeping an eye on. While Neptune can bring us great inspiration, enlightenment and escape from reality, this is not always a good thing when it comes to your finances. This will be a long, long transit that many don't take that seriously, believing the effects to be more of a generational nature upon those born under that influence, but Neptune's presence is still going to have an effect. During the next several years, particularly as Neptune aspects your Natal Chart, that influence will be felt. Perhaps you will have that once in a lifetime million dollar idea everyone is supposed to have or conversely you may make a series of bad decisions with regard to your possessions or income which cause them to evaporate before your eyes. Since you always have your free will this is not engraved in stone but is worth mentioning. Watch for an energy shift with regard to your finances starting around April 5th. Come early August he'll back into Aquarius again until early February due to retrograde motion but after that he'll be there for the long-haul.

The Full Moon on April 17 is in fellow Air Sign, Libra, your 9th House of higher learning, beliefs, long-distance travel and relocation as defined above. There is still a significant energy concentration in Aries so continue to watch for considerable activity in that part of your life. It will particularly active mentally so expect to be bombarded by ideas as well as numerous lively conversations. Whatever that long-term matter you're trying to solve or struggling with is still at the forefront with the suggestion at this time that you need to change your approach considerably, though you may have a difficult time getting your head and heart on the same page. Money is likely to be involved in some way and further push for a change of direction. This is a favorable time to watch for inspiration in that part of your life, then using your Air Sign logic to determine whether or not its viable.
