ARIES (MAR 20-APRIL19)  This is an intense month — get ready for a major pileup of planets in your sign of Aries!  April began with a full moon in Libra on the 1^st which made aspects to Uranus and Pluto, bringing global tumult and a fair dose of personal tension your way.  Saturn in Aries is pulling away from Neptune, and you will notice an easing of the stuck feeling you’ve been experiencing.  Venus has entered Taurus and by the 3^rd hanging out for a few days in an angle to Pluto, raising issues of commitment in all areas of your life.  Also on the 3^rd the Sun in Aries begins to make a 90-degree angle to Jupiter in Cancer, and this influence lasts for a good few days. Now that Jupiter is direct and not retrograde, you are sensing more positive movement in your life.  Financial and real estate situations that have been blocked might start moving.  Be careful of excess, however, and of overvaluing. Make sure Venus in Taurus keeps it real!  Mars crosses the Earth axis on the 9^th and enters Aries, immediately crossing over Neptune.  This is a transit  which will exaggerate belligerence on the world stage, and for you, it will give you a huge force field, so be aware of your impact.  Mercury enters Aries on the 14^th and meets up with Neptune, while Mars in Aries has moved onto Saturn, just in time for the new moon in Aries on the 17^th.  Yikes!  Quite the  concentration of Aries energy occurs on this new moon!  A pile up of Mercury, Neptune, Mars and Saturn in the early degrees of Aries, and then the Sun, Moon, and Chiron at the end of Aries. That’s seven celestial bodies in Aries, and on the new moon, no less, which concentrates all that potential energy.  You need to stay grounded and watch your self-importance, which could be utterly out of hand.  At the same time, use this lunation for inspiration and new directions. You have a great capacity to inspire others—just be careful to use it judiciously.  Mars remains in a close conjunction to Saturn for several days, not exactly a fun aspect.  Build a stone wall or something and  refrain from telling people what to do.  The Sun enters Taurus on the 19^th, and by the 21^st Venus at the end of Taurus catches up to Uranus.  They remain together as they both enter Gemini, Venus on the 24^th and Uranus on the 25^th.  This is a stimulating and exciting transit, bringing revolutionary values to the surface.  By the 25^th the Sun in Taurus makes an angle to Pluto for a few days. The Uranus and Pluto energy will be tumultuous, so try to stay calm.

TAURUS (APR 20-MAY 20)  This is another month of intense energy, sorry to say, but at least it’s interesting.  Your ruling planet Venus has entered Taurus as of the end of March, bringing you a sense of earthy stability and  inspiring you to get busy with spring planting activities.   But – the Aries full moon on April 1^st packed a punch as it lined up with Uranus and Pluto. You are having trouble looking away from our train wreck of a world right now….By the 3^rd Venus makes an angle to Pluto for a few days, a good time to review your commitments and make sure you actually have the time and energy for them.  Also on the 3^rd Jupiter in Cancer lines up with the Aries Sun for a few days, and you have a sense that things are coming to a head for the world.  In your own life, it is a good time to bring some plans and projects to fruition.   On the 9^th Mars enters Aries, crossing over the world axis and triggering more violence. Then it moves across Neptune, releasing a lot of energy, and your force field is bigger than you realize.  Mercury enters the fray on the 14^th, moving into Aries and onto Neptune, while Mars in Aries moves onto Saturn.  This is a lot of Aries—energetic, forward -looking, bossy.  The Mercury -Neptune effect is great for inspiration but can also be confusing.  Mars and Saturn, will bring tension and stress and lots of hard work.  The Mars Saturn pair sit quite close to Mercury and Neptune, so it is quite the pileup, and the Aries effect is even greater because of the New moon in Aries on the 17^th—a conjunction of Sun, Moon and Chiron in Aries.  Let’s hope Chiron beings us some healing to offset the bombast of all the Planets in Aries. The Sun enters your sign on the 19^th, and by the 21^st Venus in Taurus pairs up with Uranus for several days of inspiration and radical vision. Venus enters Gemini on the 24^th and Uranus on the 25^th, stimulating your creative juices.  On the  25^th the Sun makes an angle to Pluto. People are speaking truth to power.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20)  Well, high drama continues on the world stage, I’m afraid. And – this month brings us seven planets in Aries – yikes!  We are entering a phase dominated by planets in fire and air signs, and as a Gemini, it makes you antsy as hell.  Air and fire are compatible, and remember that air fans the flames of fire signs. April began with a powerful Aries full moon that triggered influences of Uranus and Pluto, so yup, more tumult and violence.  By the 3^rd Venus in Taurus makes an angle to Pluto for a few days—a good time to reevaluate commitments and investments of time and money.  Also on the 3^rd the Aries Sun makes an angle to Jupiter in Cancer, and you are looking for fulfillment, trying to bring something to completion.  On the 9^th Mars enters Aries, crossing the earth axis with an extra dose of belligerence, and then it immediately crosses over Neptune for a few days, sparking energy of movement. Get yourself to the dance studio or into the kayak. On the 14^th Mercury enters Aries, pairing up with Neptune while Mars moves to Saturn.  Here is the start of our Aries pileup.  Mercury and Neptune can be inspiring and can also indicate delusion. (We’re being lied to, but we knew that…) Mars and Saturn can indicate hard, focused work as well as stress and tension, so there will be some troubling days ahead.  The Aries new moon adds to the Aries pot with the Sun and Moon and Chiron on the 17^th.  Let Chiron bring some healing to our poor planet.  By the  21^st Venus in Taurus pairs up with Uranus, and then they both enter Gemini, Venus on the 24^th and Uranus on the 25^th.   This is a powerful and pretty delightful and inspiring combo whichever sign it’s in, but in Gemini you will feel eager for change.  Stay calm—Uranus will remain in Gemini for 6 years.  The Sun enters Taurus on the 19^th and by the 25^th squares Pluto.  Get in touch with your power.

CANCER  (JUNE 21- JULY 21)  The changes continue for the world and for you personally.   April brings a preponderance of planets in Aries, a sign which really tweaks you into action. The Aries full moon on the 1^st started that tweaking in a dramatic way, since the full moon triggered influences of Uranus and Pluto—in other words,  breakdown and transformation.  On the 3^rd, Venus in Taurus makes an angle to Pluto, and you are reevaluating emotional and financial commitments.  Meanwhile the Aries Sun makes an angle to Jupiter in your sign of Cancer, and with Jupiter now direct and not retrograde, you are ready to move forward towards fulfillment of plans and projects. Mars enters Aries on the 9^th and meets up with Neptune, so remember that your energy is more powerful than you realize.  By the 14^th Mercury leaves Pisces and enters Aries, joining up with Neptune while Mars catches up to Saturn.  This will be a strange and difficult set of aspects, especially falling very close to the earth axis, a trigger point for the world.  Expect some difficult days, personally and politically—confusing and tense—through the Aries new moon on the 17^th which has Sun, moon and Chiron in a tight conjunction. Let’s pray that Chiron brings some healing.   The Sun enters Taurus on the 19^th, and by the 21^st Venus in Taurus catches up to Uranus. They pair up together for several days, and both move into Gemini  — Venus on the 24^th and Uranus on the 25^th.  This is a stimulating and creative energy, which should bring some movement and inspiration to your relationships and direction in life.  The Sun squares Pluto for a few days on the 25^th, and it’s time for you to speak your truth.

LEO (JUL 22-AUG 21) This is another month of utter mayhem, sorry to say, but at least it’s interesting.

Then it moves across Neptune, releasing a lot of energy, and your force field is bigger than you realize.  Mercury enters the fray on the 14^th, moving into Aries and onto Neptune, while Mars in Aries moves onto Saturn.  This is a lot of Aries—energetic, forward -looking, bossy.  The preponderance of plants in fire and air is very energizing and stimulating for you.  The Mercury -Neptune effect is great for inspiration but can also be confusing.  Mars and Saturn, will bring tension and stress and lots of hard work. It will also likely bring more destructive energy to our suffering planet.  The Mars Saturn pair sit quite close to Mercury and Neptune, so it is quite the pileup, and the Aries effect is even greater because of the New moon in Aries on the 17^th—a conjunction of Sun, Moon and Chiron in Aries.  Let’s hope Chiron beings us some healing to offset the belligerence of all the planets in Aries. The Sun enters Taurus on the 19^th, and by the 21^st Venus in Taurus pairs up with Uranus for several days of inspiration and radical vision.
