April 2019- Miraculous Developments, Culmination in Relationships, Freedom from Past Karma
Welcome to April 2019! This month offers a rare and wondrous planetary line up that encourages: forward movement, miracles and breakthroughs. This is due to 5 of the 10 planets being in their exalted or home signs. We will have: the Sun in Aries, Venus in Pisces, Jupiter in Sagittarius, Saturn in Capricorn and Neptune in Pisces. Planets in their exalted and home based signs, make them extremely advantageous and lucky. The astrological gods are granting us many wishes this month. If last month was rough( thanks Mercury retrograde), then April will feel like a fresh breeze of possibility and triumph. If you have been waiting for things to move forward, April is the month when the pieces of the puzzle come together.
We begin the month on April 5th, with a New Moon at 15 degrees of Aries. New moons signify: fresh beginnings, initiations and starts. Aries, the 1st fire sign of the zodiac is all about: passion, purpose, leadership and drive. The New Moon in Aries will be a reset button to begin again, perhaps from scratch, and with a drive of sheer willpower and exertion. The challenge to this moon will be a tense, 90 degree square from Saturn in Capricorn. Saturn square the New Moon in Aries, will bring up an awareness of a struggle or obligation that might be standing in the way of these new beginnings. We will want to plunge forward with warrior like speed, but there might be a big obstacle or responsibility that stands in the way of this being possible. The New Moon in Aries square Saturn will be a test of our maturity and our ability to not only push forward but to double check if our intentions and plans are built on solid ground. We will need to balance out our desire to move full steam ahead and at the same time, be patient and surrender to the process.
Mid-month, Jupiter, the planet of: abundance, good luck and travel, turns retrograde at 24 degrees of Sagittarius. We often think retrograde planets are dormant or that they don't produce outer manifestations to occur. This is actually not accurate. Retrograde planets are 10x stronger, due to the fact that they transit closer to the earth. Since November 2018, while Jupiter has been in his home sign of Sagittarius, the sky god has brought many fortunate and lucky breaks. As the largest planet in our solar system goes retrograde in his home sign, this is a time where our plans could manifest. There could be an internal recognition of our higher consciousness at this time, and certainly a belief or way of looking at life, will shift dramatically. Our inner guru will be calling and a deepening of our value systems will be possible. Speaking from personal experience, (natal Jupiter in Sag), there is an emphasis of truth that will emerge and over the next few months, and in particular until he turns direct, we will all be faced to be authentic around who we are and what we stand for in the world.
On April 19th, we have the second full moon within a month( otherwise known as a Blue Moon) with a full moon at 29 degrees of Libra. Full moons represent: endings, completions and manifestations. Libra, the 7th air sign of the zodiac, denotes: relationships, contracts, balance and justice. This is the 2nd full moon in Libra, as we had the first one at 0 degrees on March 20th. There could be a finality to events from around that time, especially within committed partnerships. The Full Moon in Libra, at the anaretic and fated 29th degree, will be intense and full on. Many could decide to end relationships at this full moon and of course there will be a twist and element of surprise accompanying this finality. The reason being is Uranus, the planet of shock and surprise, will be opposing the full moon. Uranus opposing the Full moon could produce sudden break ups or make ups. You never know what Uranus has up his sleeve and at this Full Moon, one or many zig zags in our plans will become apparent. This dramatic Full Moon in Libra, will likely stir unusual or unexpected relationship scenarios to play out and the lesson will be around keeping ourselves balanced and aware. Certainly, many folks will be experiencing some kind of relationship debacle, so its important to stay grounded till the height of emotion passes, and we are able to see things with a clear heart and mind.
The Sun, our ego and core, moves into the sign of Ta**us on April 20th. Ta**us, the 2nd earth sign of the zodiac, is known to be: practical, stubborn, persistent and tenacious. Right after that on April 22nd, the Sun meets up with Uranus, the planet of surprise, who is also in Ta**us. The Sun conjunct Uranus, could produce: earthquakes and many other natural disasters. There will be a liberation possible and there could also be a death to the "ego" at this time. News around men( the Sun being masculine) could be shocking and there will be a call to be free and uninhibited. If you are born on or around this date, expect many breakthroughs and unknown twists of fate to enter your life. Often I see many folks completely shift their lives when Uranus aspects their Sun. This could be met with some resistance and stubbornness, which are both attributed to the sign of the bull.
At the end of the month, on April 24th, Pluto, the planet of transformation and power, turns retrograde at 23 degrees of Capricorn. Pluto retrograde in the sign of the goat, will be about us honoring our inner power and fortitude. There could be a dramatic shift of power and there will be a test on how we listen to our inner guide and heed its call. Lastly, on April 29th, Saturn, the planet of obligation and hard work, turns retrograde at 20 degrees, within his home sign of Capricorn. Saturn retrograde in Capricorn, will bring an awareness to the structures and plans we have created over the last 6 months. There could be a reset button on how we discipline ourselves and a deepening of responsibility around these matters.
April 2019 is a significant month full of many dramatic endings and miraculous new beginnings. If things have been stagnant as of recent, expect some kind of big shift this month. We are ready to begin a new chapter in our lives and yet we will need to be honest with ourselves on who or what needs to depart first. There is an emphasis in April on the need to be completely authentic and honest with ourselves. No more hiding this month. April 2019 offers us a chance to stand true to our deepest values. This month is a chance to break new ground and stand up for ourselves with conviction and determination. April 2019 asks you to trust the process and come from a place of: inner strength, heightened awareness and faith in beginning again.
