This week’s astrology forecast

April 6th - 12th

 

Message for the week:

The flame gets turned up this week, as Mars enters its strongest sign, Aries, on Thursday. We have already been under strong Aries influence, with the Saturn/Neptune conjunction along with the Sun in the sign of new beginnings, and now the warrior planet will heat up this already hot energy. Think of a rocket just hitting its booster jets—vroom! Of course this gives us concern over on-going global hostilities, but in our personal lives, this thrust and momentum can give you the courage to begin a new phase of your life. The great Goethe quote is a good mantra, “In boldness there is Genius, just begin….”

This is the Aries way, just get going and your momentum will carry you through. Mars will first join Neptune this weekend, awakening one to the visionary realm of infinite possibilities. Realty sets in the following weekend when Mars will catch up with Saturn, but this weekend, guide your imagination towards your higher self and follow your inspiration.

Neptune is the fabled third eye and can cause as much trouble as good until one learns how to navigate in transcendent realms. At the lower level, imagination can lead to escapism, illusions and even deceptions. However, the higher level of Neptune is the doorway to spiritual realms and your higher self. Ask that you become infused with the spirit of your higher self and then become an embodiment of that calling.

Monday: This day holds the prospects for being very rewarding and fulfilling with  the Moon in “dream big” Sagittarius sextile to compelling Pluto and trine to sustaining Saturn. This is a good day for travelling or making plans for future travels. This also favors hiking and outdoor activities. Sagittarius will ignite goals and dreams—Pluto and Saturn will help you get there.

Tuesday: Another upbeat day with the Moon in good-humored Sagittarius in a supportive trine to the Sun. This encourages an enthusiastic and adventuristic approach to the day. Be mindful that your bluntness may trigger a sensitive reaction in others with the Moon being in a troublesome square to Mercury in Pisces—feelings get hurt all too easily.

Wednesday: Mars is in a stimulating sextile to Uranus today, enhancing “functional intuition”, aiding in all problem solving. The Moon enters ambitious Capricorn this morning but must endure difficulties and some confusion to achieve goals, with testing squares to Saturn and Neptune—stay the course 

Thursday: Ready, set, go! Mars enters its strongest sign Aries today, firing up your will to be self-directed. Claim your own sovereignty and if you are going to do something, choose to do it. A smooth and enjoyable start to the day with the Moon in “pride in excellence” Capricorn in a flowing trine to lovely Venus. There is a tendency to take on too much this afternoon when the Moon is opposite overconfident Jupiter, which you will pay for with exhaustion tonight when the Moon is in a debilitating square to the limiting Sun. 

Friday: A good, mentally sharp, workday and a fun and social evening is in the forecast. The Moon starts the day in hard working Capricorn sextile to mental Mercury and trine to intuitive Uranus, bringing clarity and flashes of insight for solving problems. The Moon moves into socially active Aquarius this afternoon, sextile to the Mars/Neptune conjunction this evening, favoring friendships, socializing, dancing and music.

Saturday: The Moon is in Aquarius conjunct compelling Pluto and sextile to stabilizing Saturn in the early morning, igniting a passionate interest in something—you will know what you want to do. The Moon squares amorous Venus later tonight, stimulating an urge to merge—if not a lover, maybe with chocolate.

Sunday: Mars is conjunct Neptune today, igniting either inspired or deluded action—aim high. The Moon is in friendly Aquarius sextile the Sun/Chiron conjunction—friendships can be healing.

May the stars be with you!
