This week’s astrology forecast:

March 30th – April 5th       

Message for the week:

The year of the Fire Horse kicks into high gear in April with four signatures in fiery Aries this week building to seven planets in fiery Aries on the New Moon April 17th.  Fire Horse energy is intense, powerful, passionate, bold and potentially volatile, favoring taking immediate action rather than patient waiting.

This week, all this assertive, aggressive energy is balanced with the Full Moon in Libra on Wednesday. Our goal-oriented, adrenaline-fueled culture provides plenty of opportunities for Mars ruled Aries. Libra is diplomatic, seeks fairness and is called to be a skilled negotiator to bring harmony into relationships. This bodes well for peace negotiations efforts in the world and in our personal lives.

Libra is ruled by Venus, and Venus is in her other strongest sign Taurus. There are two levels of Taurus, acquisition and appreciation. Taurus has very discerning taste and an eye for quality. Taurus likes nice things, but having more things doesn’t always lead to greater enjoyment. We all know of many wealthy people who don’t seem to appreciate and enjoy their wealth of things.

Appreciation can be cultivated with greater focus on life’s simple pleasures and by lingering in delightful moments. Stop and appreciate that there even are delightful moments in this world that isn’t always delightful. This sends out Venus, and stimulates the law of magnetism, attracting back to you more of what you value and appreciate. Almost too simple—enjoy your way to a more enjoyable life!

Monday: Venus enters her strongest sign, Taurus today, enhancing the ability to “stop and smell the roses” and even allow a little luxury into your life. This might be a good day to make a list of all you want to accomplish and then set about doing it, with the Moon in task-oriented Virgo. You may feel a little confused midday while the Moon is opposite Mercury, when what makes sense might not feel right—stick with the practical. An enjoyable evening is in store with a favorable sextile to abundant Jupiter.

Tuesday: An edgy morning turning into a smooth day that is great for problem solving. In the early morning, the Moon is in “can be hyper-critical” Virgo opposite irritating Mars. The agitation quickly passes as you get going with the afternoon being favored by a flowing trine to innovative Uranus—excellent for problem-solving with your intuition sensing solutions. The Moon moves into Libra this evening, enhancing relationships with a greater ability to relax and enjoy.

Wednesday: The Moon in harmony-seeking Libra is in a flowing trine to Pluto but weighted down by an opposition to heavy Saturn this morning, triggering apprehension over some pressing responsibility.  Full Moon in Libra occurs at 7:12 PM PDT—a time to create balance with self and others. Too much focus on the other and you lose your sense of self. Too much focus on yourself and you lose touch with others—seek balance.

Thursday: A smooth and enjoyable day that favors relationships, partnerships and all shared experiences, with the Moon in relationship-oriented Libra and no major aspects throughout the day. The Moon does form a potentially annoying quincunx to Mars in Pisces this evening, triggering old guilts and shames—best to shake off any futile wanderings in old wounds as they are worthless to restore your peace of mind that Libra craves.

Friday: A bit of a “heads up” day with two major planetary aspects today: Mercury trine Jupiter and Venus square Pluto. Mercury enhanced by Jupiter fuels a positive mindset, yet relationships get rocked with Pluto bringing some uncomfortable truth to light. The Moon enters introspective Scorpio this morning and is locked into an emotionally turbulent T-square with Venus and Pluto this afternoon—suspicions abound. It might be wise to stay within the cave of your inner consciousness when words can’t possibly capture the depth of your feelings—or maybe it is just a good “stay in bed” day!

Saturday: After yesterday’s turbulent cosmic weather, calm seas are in the forecast today with the Moon in Scorpio in a Grand Trine with uplifting Jupiter and communicative Mercury—peace is restored, wounds heal and deep, meaningful interactions with intimate others is available.

Sunday: The Sun is square to Jupiter, fueling big goals and big plans for the day. A smooth morning and exciting afternoon is in store with the Moon in passionate, probing Scorpio emboldened by a supportive trine to empowering Mars this morning. The Moon is excited by an opposition to the wild-card planet Uranus, stirring the desire to do something a bit wild and crazy. You may still feel fired-up and ready to go this afternoon as the Moon enters adventuristic Sagittarius in harmony with imaginative Neptune.

May the stars be with you!
