FULL MOON

This month's Full Moon in Libra on 11 April suggests you'll encounter something that involves one or more relationships, given that sign rules such things. Remember, also, that a Full Moon typically indicates an ending, culmination, or shift to a new phase. Since you interact with people several areas of you life, this makes sense, whether it relates to the people next door, your job, friends, school, income, or whatever. The troublesome T-squares continue, those outer planets moving slowly enough that they maintain such things for a long time. This is how major trends develop and play out, but when they're as annoying as these have been, it certainly can get old. To refresh your memory, this one suggests difficulties taking control of something you would like to pursue which is also likely to involve others, either directly or indirectly, perhaps even simply that you're bucking up against unfavorable opinions or lack of support. If someone in authority is doing something like that, you are probably just about to the point, or possibly already there, where you are ready to fight for what you want. Breaking away if favored, but not necessarily easily.

Even if people aren't holding you back, other obstacles are likely; unfortunately, Saturn stationed retrograde a few days before this lunation, which is notorious for delays, boundaries, and slowing things down generally, and Mercury stationed retrograde 9 April, so this isn't obviously in your favor, either. However, Mercury RX is an excellent time to rethink, revise, reconsider, and redo. If you're changing course, then this is well-advised, even if it means you can't get moving in the direction you want immediately. Mercury is in Taurus, which isn't known for it's speed but it is for persistence and determination, which suggests once you make up your mind, nothing is going to change it. Mars in Taurus as well is like a bulldozer, which may not move quickly, but will not let anything get in its way. Venus, still retrograde and back in her favorite sign of Pisces, is another indicator of fighting for what you want and she's ready to take on anyone holding you back.

An aspect pattern I call a Course Adjustment Loop and sometimes referred to as a Learning Triangle, is out there, which implies a change of course is favored, which will help to some degree.  This will come about when you have finally had enough and make up your mind, once and for all, to take control and pursue your own direction. So there are some definite themes in this lunation, which bode nicely if you're tired of the status quo.

NEW MOON

The New Moon on 26 April is in Taurus, a Fixed, Earth sign that enjoins patience and determination. Mercury is still retrograde and conjunct Uranus in Aries, which suggests rethinking or reconsidering an impulsive action, perhaps attempting to undo something that didn't turn out as you had hoped. They are both trining Saturn, which has recently stationed retrograde, a time to rebuild and restructure. Venus is now direct and in the last degree of Pisces, where she is exalted. Venus is now the morning star, rising before the Sun, a time when various ancient cultures considered her the goddess of war as opposed to love. She is squaring Saturn, ruler of authority figures, responsibility, and tradition, suggesting conflicts in that area. Power trips and struggles are afflicting relationships where such has not been worked out in a fair and defined manner, but inspiration can help sort things out, if both parties are willing to make the necessary adjustments. Moving forward in a logic manner, based in data as opposed to feelings or emotion, could be the appropriate path, of which there are more than one. In other words, there is more than one way to solve the current problem.

OTHER COSMIC EVENTS

Three planets station retrograde this month (Saturn, Mercury & Pluto); one stations direct (Venus); and one is ongoing (Jupiter). Saturn stations retrograde on 6 April at 27:48 Sagittarius. Saturn RX typically indicates an area of your life that needs to be redefined and restructured, depending on in which house the event occurs. For Pisces, fellow Mutable Sign, Sagittarius, represents your 10th house of career, reputation, public image, and status. This suggests that there will be major changes to this part of your life as a result. Bear in mind that Saturn RX tends to operate at the subconscious level until Saturn stations direct. Nonetheless, you may already be aware that something needs to be revamped in this part of your life. If your birthday is right around 18 March, this station squares your natal Sun, which will make the effects stronger. The station chart contains what I call a Course Adjustment Loop which is sometimes referred to as a Learning Triangle. The implications of this aspect pattern are that your goals need to undergo a major transformation when your thought process or ideas don't synch up with regard to the work you really want to pursue.  Doing so will help facilitate a sudden change in your income. This could go either way with the final outcome up to you. With three planets stationing retrograde this month, they will all be cooperating and converging on a common theme.

Mercury stations a few days later on 9 April at 04:51 Taurus. Mercury RX is the time to rethink redo, refine, reconsider, edit, or revise and not so good to begin a new endeavor. This is a time to look back and assess where you are and re-plan as required to achieve your objectives. If your birthday is right around 23 February, this station sextile your natal Sun from your 3rd house of thoughts, ideas, siblings, neighbors, and local travel. This repeats the emphasis on your thoughts found in the Saturn station. A change of direction at the transformational level is implied in this chart with your job showing up as well.

Pluto stations retrograde 20 April at 19:24 Capricorn. His message is often one of elimination, to get rid of something you no longer need, whether it involves cleaning out the garage or attic, getting rid of old baggage, or perhaps relationships that no longer serve a constructive purpose. Capricorn is your 11th house of goals, friends, organizations, groups, networking, hopes, and wishes. Pluto has been transiting that house for several years, suggesting transformations in that area have already been evolving. If your birthday is right around 10 March, this provides its influence with more strength. If you're not working at this as your should, but are resisting it, you need to figure out why. Just because it's not easy doesn't mean it's not right. You need to be listening to your intuition, which should be relatively strong, and list to what it's trying to tell you. Your subconscious can be pretty brutal when ignored. This chart indicates a profitable idea may come your way that can take you in a different direction, but only if you let it. Windows of opportunity eventually close, and this may be your last chance to consider it carefully. With the Sun and Mercury retrograde conjunct in Taurus, your house of thoughts, there is plenty of energy there to help you out. Mess this one up and you'll kick yourself later.

Venus stations direct 15 April at 26:55 Pisces. Since Pisces is the sign where she is exalted, and thus functions at top efficiency, it's almost like she didn't like Aries, a sign of her debility, and decided to go back to where she was comfortable for a while before heading out into the cold, cruel world. Her station chart implies an opportunity to take action restructuring and rebuilding some part of your life, which hands off nicely to the planets above who station retrograde. Pisces is your first house, which represents your outward personality, how others see you, and you, generally. If your birthday is right around 17 March, Venus stations direct on your natal Sun, which should be a very nice blast of cosmic luck. However, don't mistake this for a blessing of the status quo. This could be when that idea comes your way since this occurs between Mercury and Pluto stationing; I grouped these forecasts according to the retrogrades with this direct stationing thus out of order. Venus retrograde often emphasizes assessing what you value the most. This, of course, is at the root of your actions, or at least should be. If these are out of synch, then you are likely to be continually tripping over your own feet. Use all this cosmic energy to figure out what's going on in your life once and for all and whether it's going in the direction you want. This will be a very important month where there will be several fated events you need to pay attention to.
