The long-term trend for Pisces, which will be in effect for the next several years, will be to see some major changes and transformations relative to your interaction with friends, groups, and organizations with the likelihood of affecting your hopes and wishes somewhere along the line as well. This is due to the fact that Pluto entered Capricorn in January and will be hanging out there in your Natural 11th House until March 2023, which is farther out than even your Virgo friends will worry about. Then again, you never know. At any rate, what Pluto will do is some major housecleaning in this area of your life. Whatever friends, groups, organizations, or even long-term hopes and wishes you may have, there is going to be some major forensic activity there in the months and years to come. Expect to find out things you never dreamed of before, regardless of how intuitive you tend to be, and to experience some major transformations relative to this area of your life. You know where your involvement has been heretofore, so that is where to expect this to occur. Jupiter will be helping this along until January 2009, since he's also in Capricorn. Jupiter is generally a benefic planet who tends to inflate and expand anything he touches. This implies that your involvement in this area is likely to become more significant and a larger part of your life than in the past.

Relationship overhauls are also probable, thanks to Saturn hanging out in your polar sign, Virgo, which happens to be your 7th House of relationships. Relationships include not only your significant other, but anyone with whom you interact on a one-on-one basis, i.e. close friends and/or relatives, business associates, and the like. Needless to say there will be some overlap between your involvement with groups and organizations and your relationships as there is probably someone in each that you are closer to than the group as a whole. Saturn is all about discipline, authority, responsibility, obligations, and structure. If you're already cringing, your intuition has already picked up on the fact that these are areas in which most Pisces don't exactly excel. Remember that aspect immunity is possible when you don't need work in a certain area of your life, but if you do the Universe does all it can to tutor you appropriately. Virgo is a picky, detail-oriented, methodical sign that gets along quite well with Saturn.

So with that as a prologue, let's take a look at what April 2008 has in store. During the entire month Pluto will trine Saturn. This is a harmonious aspect which means these two will be working together with the focus on your relationships and organizational activities and possibly your hopes and wishes as well. Saturn is currently retrograde (RX) which internalizes the energy such that much of this is going to be happening in your unconscious until the beginning of next month, at which time you'll discover what it was all about. Any areas that require an overhaul or improvement will be the focal points with Pluto helping to reveal information you were not aware of before, which could affect your feelings and commitment toward these targeted venues.

Also going on for the entire month will be a sextile between Jupiter and Uranus. Remember that Jupiter is the Great Expander, also influencing your group and organizational activities. A sextile usually brings opportunities, and Uranus is the planet of change, surprises, disruptions and upsets. He's very unpredictable and usually a pain in the rear, actually, if you're one who likes stability. However, I know that Pisces enjoys a good thrill, so maybe you like him better than I do as a Cappy who prefers stability and predictability. At any rate, Uranus is in your Sign, meaning his actions are going to affect you personally. Thus, during this month, expect some unexpected changes or events in your groups, etc., that affect you personally, but are likely to also deliver an opportunity. Thus look beyond any disruptions to what's in it for you, because more than likely there's something there just waiting for you to take it and run. This is especially likely to happen between April 11 - 16 when news, perhaps of the nuisance variety, could set things off, thanks to Mercury. This could also be an entirely isolated event that involves your possessions or finances in some way. Big news relative to your groups and such is also possible during that same time, which could bring favorable financial news or perhaps even something that you'll enjoy.

The New Moon in Aries on April 5th is in this same area, i.e. your 2nd House of possessions, finances and pleasures, increasing the likelihood of something new even further. The Sun is there as well, bringing further light and emphasis to this part of your life until the 20th, when he moves into Taurus, your 3rd House of thoughts, ideas, and short journeys. While he's in Aries, he'll throw a square to Mars, which could bring about a conflict of some sort between your creative efforts, or perhaps your children or lovelife, and those group activities. The Sun will sextile your Sign Ruler, Neptune, between April 8 - 20, which could perhaps provide some inspiration or other insights into your possessions or finances. Remember that sextiles usually deliver an opportunity, so be looking for one in that area, possibly an inspired approach that will help your financial situation. They say everyone has at least one million dollar idea in their lifetime, so maybe it's time for yours. The difference is that some people act upon it while most of us either don't recognize it or never get off of square one. Venus enters your 2nd House on April 7, which should be a good thing, at least in the long run. You may find out a few things you didn't know about when she squares Pluto between April 5 - 10, may have to make a few adjustments to the budget during that same time, and might have an argument or two with someone of the opposite gender between April 20 - 30. Nonetheless, the last few days of the month it should all come together in a harmonious way as the players come together into a nice Grand Trine, and an Earth one at that, which should help figure out what you need to do once and for all to achieve greater stability in this area.

Mercury will be moving right along this month at his usual pace, helping bring thoughts, ideas, and communications in general to bear on these various areas. The first few days of the month may require an adjustment to your plans due to a delay or other obstacle, though you're likely to get some good insights into those group activities and such during that same time. You may encounter some unexpected conflicts between April 8 - 13 that hit you in the ego as well. This should ultimately evolve to be in your favor, however, so don't let it get to you too much as there is a silver lining. Toward the end of the month you should muster plenty of determination to turn things around to your benefit. If any of your relationships are a bit tense, your thoughts and approach to them should stabilize between April 17 - 21. The Full Moon on the 20th is in Scorpio, your 9th House of long distance travel, legal matters, higher education, and beliefs, indicating a culmination of some sort in that area.

This month should be a busy and possibly even hectic one relative to your involvement in groups and organizations with some action relative to your possessions or finances as well. Long-term trends will focus on your group interactions and relationships, which you'll be giving considerable thought in the months to come. Overhauls and changes are likely, but if you handle them properly they'll keep you heading in the right direction.
