ARIES (March 21 - April 19)

The full moon can find you competing with yourself or with another - it’s time to break out of the rut. Conversely, the full moon could bring a tug at the heartstrings in a more loving way. Creative inspiration is in ample supply. An impulse purchase or undertaking can be well worth the price tag, but also keep on guard against wasteful extravagance or over-extending yourself (financially or physically.) Your social connections will keep especially lively as Mars tours Aquarius to April 7. Following April 12, Venus in Gemini will keep you on the go. The sun beautifully aligned with Jupiter and Saturn April 6 – 10 makes for an opportune cycle when everything seems to fall into place way just peachy. A getaway weekend or new place to be can be wonderfully revitalizing. The go-for-it new moon April 17 can launch a glorious fresh start, one that holds a promising future and prompts you to think bigger in the here and now. You’ll feel an abundance of inspiration and encouragement to keep you going strong.

TAURUS (April 20 - May 20)

The full moon April 2 could hit you with an unforeseen bump in the road. Whatever impasse may arise is sure to be temporary. A creative solution can be found; in fact, you can afford to hold steady through the confusion or uncertainty until an obvious direction or answer unfolds on its own. Uncertainty can center on your work or work environment; whether it’s out in the open or a feeling in the atmosphere, conditions can be strained. The full moon could also ignite health or transportation issues – don’t ignore hints or signals. Clean up your resume and print extra copies. Mars touring the sign of Pisces can loosen things up; Venus in Gemini can open up your financial prospects and/or draw attention to more than one priority or interest. It could be wise to consider a part time job as a temporary gap-filler. Saturn’s return to direct motion mid month can bring the resolve or control you may have lacked in recent months. Following on the heels of the new moon April 17, the sun’s entrance into Taurus (May 20) can renew your vitality, inwardly and outwardly. Whether it’s a diet, the search for a new home, or pumping up your self-love and net worth, it’s the perfect time to get a move on!

GEMINI (MAY 21 ~ JUN 20)

Your next steps could be contingent on others; it can be wise to wait to see how things play-out before you decide on a course of action. The social full moon April 2 could introduce you to new considerations and goals, or it could take a relationship to a new level. Watch for things to fall into place – there is no need to force what isn’t coming naturally. No matter what your aim, it’s a smooth sail April 6 – 9. Mars in Pisces (April 7 – May 15) can open things up, which can be a plus if career or educational options have recently seemed limited, or when your personal life feels less restrictive. Relinquish control on your tight rein, and trust others to pull their own weight. If you lose interest, ambition, or momentum, perhaps it’s because your aim should be headed in another direction. On the other hand, if you have a goal in mind (even if it’s a vague or uncertain one), don’t let it slide, put concentrated attention on it instead. When you attune to the universal forces/naturally building trends, magic can happen. Venus in Gemini (April 12 to May 7) will act like an attraction magnet – added attention and advantage is sure to come your way. (Go ahead, write a new wish list!) This fresh-faced Venus placement also suggests its makeover time! Change your hair, your wardrobe, or something more. A spruce up (at all levels) can benefit you greatly. Watch for the new moon, April 17 to get the ball rolling.

CANCER (June 22 - July 22)

The full moon April 2 could shine a new light on family concerns, issues, or finances. Ready or not, you may need to invest more, or you may need to step up to the plate in a way that may initially seem challenging, but ultimately will be good for all concerned. This full moon prompt can also signal the right time to start your own business or to hunt for a new residence. Explore more, experiment with ideas, talk things over, especially April 6 – 9, and plan to hit it full tilt by the new moon, April 17. Adjustments can be rather easy to embrace as both Mars in Pisces and Venus in Gemini facilitate a smooth transition period. April 9 can bring answers, news or results that may be instrumental in steering you future. April 21 is a “do it/find it/settle it” day; this can be the right time to firm up decisions, sign contracts or to pitch an idea. Positive initiative can pay off beautifully April 26 – 29.

LEO (July 23 - Aug. 22)

Plan a getaway or enjoy something social and harness the lively energy of the full moon weekend to your maximum benefit. Conversations can trigger plenty, you’ll come away with much more than you started with. A weekend workshop can provide great entertainment too. Synchronicity can work like a charm, whether it’s your mind or your heart that feels that exciting jolt. A friend or acquaintance could make an important connection for you. Don’t hesitate to mix business and pleasure, and/or to let someone know you are available. A new love interest can capture your attention, although with Saturn, Jupiter and the Sun in a fire trine (April 6 – 10) you may prefer to take this time to enjoy your freedom. Jupiter and Saturn put you at great advantage this month and next. You’ll find a wellspring of energy and creativity to keep you going strong (you certainly aren’t a needy one!) Whatever path you choose, satisfaction appears to be easy to come by. Jupiter in Sagittarius can increase your travel and entertainment expenses (it’s an overall cost of living reality too), while Mars in Pisces (April 7 to May 15) can signal a money drain/outgoing cycle. The sun’s entrance into Taurus can be somewhat helpful re budget maintenance; still, Venus in Gemini can always find another reason to spend on a good time! The new moon April 17 could launch a travel cycle, or put you on the hunt for a new place to be (professionally or location wise.) The end of a study semester also coincides with the new moon – ah, time to celebrate your freedom.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 - Sept. 22)

The full moon can be demanding/require the max from you, especially if you work with the public and/or are in an essential services industry. You could spend more too, but there’s probably great justification for it. Play it smart with your money, but don’t forget it’s meant to give you pleasure too! Be careful around mediations, fumes, and toxic substances and don’t take things for granted. The full moon’s influence can compromise your immune system and lower your tolerance levels too, so pump up on vitamins and watch your alcohol consumption. Choices can seem quite straight forward April 6 – 9. In fact, you may not have to make any; circumstance could make them for you. Your intuition serves you well while Jupiter, Saturn and the sun align (by fire trine.) You should find you can accomplish most of what you set out to do with relative ease. Once Venus moves into Gemini, you may wish you could be two people or occupy two places at once. You can expect to be dealing with more than the usual paper or people volume. The new moon April 17 can launch a vibrant new financial or relationship chapter. Take a risk! Consider relocation. Whatever comes at you comes incredibly fast, April 26 – 29. Clear your slate as best you can, don’t leave things to the last minute (taxes or studies) and be prepared for anything goes. Extremists Mars and Uranus can bring a release, a sudden get up and go, or find you diving in deep before you have time to blink.

LIBRA (Sept.23 - Oct.22)

One door closes, another opens. The full moon April 2 can put you through a give-up-to-get cycle, one that is ultimately poised to increase your net worth and self worth. Romance can take a big step forward. Alternatively, you could draw more attention, aim for it or not! With Jupiter so nicely aspected, your social life is sure to be on fire this month, (especially to April 10). Travel for business can be very lucrative. Of course, travel for pleasure is wonderfully revitalizing too. With the season to offer more outdoor fun, why not sign up for a sports league, hiking club, etc.; it’s a great way to meet people. Visitors, and/or foreign exchange students contribute nicely to your life too. Is it time to sign on with someone new (an agent or agency, a lawyer, a new business partner etc)? The new moon April 17 brings the time to do it. Whatever (or whom-ever) appears at the new moon can be exceptionally beneficial to you. End of the month could be especially hectic. A health flare up is possible too. Keep important paperwork up to date and filed in the right place. Lock up well, and stay on top of the essentials!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 - Nov. 21)

Professional activities can hum right along, thanks to a planetary fire grand trine to keep the divine order in a vibrant flow. Still, you may have some extra legwork to do behind the scenes in order to keep things running smoothly as the month starts. The full moon can bring added expense or reveal areas that need further strengthening, but once handled, all will move along rather quickly and you won’t have to keep baby-sitting. The full moon could also tax your health, so make sure that you keep your body well fuelled too. The progress of Mars into Pisces, April 7 – May 15, can ignite a wonderful creative and social spurt. This is also an advantaged stellar placement for entrepreneurial activities and affairs of the heart. A new job, project, personal goal or health issue/kick is likely to occupy your full attention as the Aries new moon fires up, April 17. The new moon launches a productive (and rapid go ‘round) cycle to tackle fixer-up projects or anything you have previously put on the backburner (includes creative or romantic pursuits). Expect to uncover much more than you thought was there to begin with. April 26 – 29 brings excitement, perhaps more than you might prefer! Mars and Uranus can bring an exceptional opportunity, or something unexpected that will require your immediate attention. Be careful, stay observant and be ready to go in a flash!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov.22 - Dec. 21)

An eventful full moon ignites the start of what is sure to be a dynamic month ahead. There may be something special to attend or someone special to meet with. April 6 – 10, the stars set it up just right; you’ll find easy access to just about anything or anyone, so use the stars to stake your claims and to get yourself ahead. (Promote, perform, teach, travel, create, play, wheel & deal). Mars in Pisces can turn your primary attention to family or personal issues. You could find yourself in transition (or at least considering the range of options) re places to live. While you may want to slip out of view while you attend to private matters, Venus in Gemini will keep you socially well engaged - and busied with moneymaking ventures too. The vibrant new moon April 17 can be set life and/or love on fire. With Pluto in Sagittarius to add extra fuel to this new moon cycle, it appears you are primed to take a major step forward (along with a major leap of faith). Your future could make an appearance! Whether you planned to pack boxes or suddenly find yourself on the up and go, action (and reactionary) planets Mars and Uranus will put you on a faster track, April 26 – 29. Be careful at home, (around appliances, sharp tools or edges), with medications, and stay clear of angry or aggressive people too. (If you feel anger or frustration building from within, go off by yourself and don’t forget to breathe!)

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 19)

The full moon April 2 can strain professional relationships. Cooperation and/or partnership are called for although it may be difficult to achieve. Relationships with parental figures can also draw attention, they may need you more than you realize. Then again, you may be the one in need of their help - perhaps to fund your next project, to help with a real estate matter, or education costs. Advice is valuable, even if you don’t use all of it; it could serve to streamline your research or decision-making process. The sun in Aries helps you to see yourself in a new light and to create in a way that feels more reflective of the essential you. Saturn and Jupiter can provide a foundation of added confidence, along with enough resourcefulness to carry you smoothly through this transition period. You’ll make fast friends as Mars tours Pisces; people will more easily open up to you. If you plan to launch anything new, target April 17 as an ideal time to take that big dive/make that big splash. People are full of surprises, April 26 – 29. Mars and Uranus are sure to keep you busy, perhaps busier than you want to be. Stay ready and available, watch for the unexpected, and please drive carefully.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 - Feb. 18)

Start of the month could be great fun, especially if you have a special event to plan or attend (a wedding, a graduation, a family move?) The full moon April 2 could bring an important announcement or legal settlement, or it could prompt you to make an important decision or commitment. You could also secure important financing (a mortgage, a business contract.) Just after the full moon, the Sun, Jupiter and Saturn in falls into place/fits like a glove harmony can bring you satisfying added confirmation. April 6 – 10 is a wonderful time to mix business and pleasure, to plan a vacation, or to strategize your next educational or marketing moves. Something brand new could open up for you once the new moon ignites, April 17. It’s the perfect time to sign up, to branch out, or to get involved. Venus in Gemini adds a nice perk to your social life and love life. You can feel happy with your kid’s progress too. Watch for financial opportunity, bonuses, or added benefits and perks to appear throughout the month.

PISCES (Feb. 19 - March 20)

The full moon could bring a financial or relationship matter to a head. Whether you choose to take it on or whether you have to, with so much coming at the same time, you are sure to feel over-extended. Not to worry though, as the week moves forward, you’ll steer your way clear/find a way to manage it all. In fact, things are likely to fall into place quite beautifully. With the sun in Aries so well situated, you are likely to find a vibrant inner reservoir of energy, confidence and creativity to carry you the distance (especially April 6 – 9). Positive initiative is in ample supply as Mars enters Pisces April 7, to start you on a new two-year cycle. Yes, the month will simply fly by! Search around, new income sources can be readily found. The new moon April 17 can bring professional recognition, or perhaps a new position. It’s a good time to ask for a raise or increase your prices. It’s also a good time to seek new bank funding or to lock in a contract or borrowing term. Spontaneity rules, April 26 – 29, you can’t hold back, nor will you want to. You can be gloriously inspired and relish in the excitement of the fast pace, but know that Mars and Uranus can also bring something jarring and/or cause volatility, impetuousness, or rash action. (If you are prone to headaches or migraines, please be aware of your stress level during these dates.)
