You’re probably giving a lot of thought to your past as April gets underway, and this is likely to intensify following April 3rd when Mercury moves to the roots of your natal birth chart. This nostalgia may be sweet or intensely bittersweet, depending on your experiences, but remember to stay living in the present.
The Full Moon on April 6th illuminates your freedom zone and during this lunation, you’re likely to want to push the boundaries, especially around an issue that’s currently frustrating you.
There’s better news on the 11th, however, when Venus moves into the most creative, self-expressive, and joyful area of your chart. This area is also associated with dating and intoxicating (if sometimes short-lived) love affairs - so if you’re single, it could be an interesting few weeks! If you’re already in a relationship, this beautiful Venus transit can help you reignite the spark there, too.
On April 20th, a powerful Solar Eclipse may bring drama or chaos to your local neighborhood, or to your network of siblings and close associates. This Eclipse can also manifest as sudden intellectual insight, or a dramatic change of direction in your thinking - it’s a fascinating influence on your chart but may take some time to make itself clear.
What is clear is that just a couple of hours later, the Sun moves to the roots of your chart, flooding your family life with light, love, and warmth.
However, the following day, April 21st, Mercury turns retrograde here, so those nostalgic issues that concerned you at the beginning of the month may turn into something more haunting or problematic.
Pluto, planet of power, transformation, and change, goes retrograde in your sign this month. If you’ve been feeling some major personal shifts of late, this would be why. Now’s your chance to finally integrate these changes and assess how far you’ve gone, and how far you’ll still need to go. Parts of you are dying in order to be reborn, so let them. You’re coming into your power now. Sure, the next few months see a delay or slowdown, but it’s necessary. Your domestic life, on the other hand, looks like it’s going to bloom and blossom in the year to come, making this the ideal time to think about moving or improving your home.
You’ve got a little break now that Pluto is briefly leaving your sign and revisiting the sector linked to rest and recuperation for you on June 11th. The pressure you’ve been feeling should lift, helping you to breathe more easily. What will you do with all this freedom? Well, you should probably contemplate what transformations have been happening over the last while and what still needs to transform. You’ve got time now to process. Use it wisely. Take a good look at your material situation and notice in which ways you need to set up clearer boundaries, whether with yourself or with others. Don’t be taken advantage of.
