For the week of April 10th thru the 17th, be sure to read your rising sign as well:
Aries
For the past few months you’ve been plotting and planning from behind the scenes. Perhaps you were not even telling anyone what you’ve been up to. But now that Mars and Mercury are entering Aries, there is no reason to delay. Make that phone call. Get yourself moving. And boldly go out to do that thing that you’ve been ruminating about. It’s time to DO something. Having a total of 5 planets in your domain is a bold call to action. Courageous. Exciting. Audacious. Fast. Motivated. Think of all the stuff that you can get accomplished over the next few months, now that your ruling planet has come back home to recharge and reboot. What to watch for: This weather is fast, reactive and impatient. Just make sure that there’s water in the pool before you go diving in. Beware of impulsive decisions and regrettable speech. Words and actions in the heat of the moment can have far reaching consequences. Do answer the Call of the Wild, but do so with your eyes wide open, and with the temerity to channel it productively.
Taurus
Taurus usually keeps their Aries energy under wraps. However, with all of these planets piling into the sign of Aries, even you are not going to be exempt from the fires kindling on the back burners of our lives. Aries gives us the incentive to get up and DO things. But that works best for Taurus when combined with the right sort of experience: the right environment and atmosphere. Rather than sprinting through life, Taurus benefits most when they take their time, immersing themselves in the experience rather than dashing through at high speed. So instead of running at the speed of light, use the energy to hike slowly through life, in order to see more, sense more and feel more. And even though the majority of the planets are egging you on in the background, Venus is currently at home in your sign, just taking it all in. And she’s the one who has the reins right now. If you feel on edge, play music, and take a warm bath. If you wake in the middle of the night, pull out the aromatic oils and sage the room. If the past comes to call, put it to rest, go out to the garden and pull out the old weeds. You do this now in order to allow better things to come in and take root later.
Gemini
Gemini is the busy bee of the zodiac. You really don’t need any encouragement to get involved, motivated and moving. But once Mercury enters the fiery and feisty sign of Aries on the 14th/15th it will feel like a shot of adrenaline just coursed through your veins, and there will be no holding you back. You have to be engaged. How can you even avoid it when everyone else is egging you on? And once you see that parade marching past your window, you’re going to be climbing through the window to be right out there with them. How can you stay home when everyone else is out there doing whatever they’re doing? The funny thing is, you’re on board even if you don’t exactly know what that board is. You’re just getting swept up into the melee, right along with everyone else. And don’t be surprised if you are elected to be the Master of Ceremonies, or the Spokesperson of whatever it is that you are leading the charge for. Even if you don’t know all the facts yet (eventually you will figure it out), you certainly know how to wind a good story. And that’s true even if you have to make it up as you are going along. Keep doing what you are doing. It almost feels like you don’t have any other choice. Clarity will come in due time.
Cancer
Whatever it was that you were planning to do, will be very hard to ignore now that all the planets are piling into Aries. It will probably be easier to get things started after the New Moon on the 17th, but even before that, once Mercury enters Aries on Tuesday, you’ll be so ready. There are people to see. Negotiations to be had. Plans to be consolidated. Try to use this week to tie up the loose ends of the prior month. We are in the waning Moon when the Moon is gradually diminishing. This time of month is generally best for clearing the field, and stepping back, making ready for the New Moon at the tail end of Aries, that could feel a bit like a dam bursting forth when it finally occurs. One thing is common for Cancers, is that when they aim for succeed, whether that be in their career, or some other accomplishment, they want to be at the top of their game. Whether that means doing their best, or being a leader in their industry, they are self-driven and independent. With All of these planets up at the top of your natal or Solar chart, this gives you the motivation to move up in your field, be seen, or at the very least get noticed.
Leo
There are several scenarios that could occur now that all of these planets are piling into Aries. Apart from the abundance of fiery energy which you thrive on, it also gives you the nerve to take a stand on things that are really important to you. With both Saturn and Neptune in Aries, you may have been experiencing a certain amount of disenchantment with the world at large. What you previously believed to be true in your heart of hearts, is being challenged. There’s no room for misinformation or false ideas when Saturn is in Aries. And now that Mars and Mercury are joining the fray, one wouldn’t be surprised if you are the one to stand out from the crowd and declare that the emperor has no clothes. Even at the risk of being ostracized or shunned, sometimes you just have to tell the truth. That being said, all that fire can also be incredibly inspiring, opening up all sorts of portals of possibility. Be inspired. Then plot a plan. There’s no telling where this is all going to bring you.
Virgo
As the week opens you may be greeted with some surprising news. News that might even change the very fabric of your life. In a moment of clarity you may receive a glimpse of the future that awaits. But sometimes in order to create a new beginning, and walk into that future, you will have to start with an ending. Like the end of a phase of life, or the end of certain expectations. Intertwined with all that are elements of acceptance. Acceptance for others, acceptance for yourself, and acceptance for the way things are. Even if you have no idea what it is you’re needing to accept. All that Aries stuffed into that area of your natal or solar chart, is about being present with whatever it is that life is dishing out. Even if it is not exactly what you were banking on. And if you can channel even an ounce of the courage that this Aries fire can bring, you are more than capable of meeting life where it is, and wherever it may be taking you. Like a phoenix about to dive into the fiery flames of Aries, you will emerge from the ashes transformed and reborn, with all sorts of possibilities awaiting you on the other side.
Libra
What with all of these planets piled into the sign of Aries, it can feel like the world and all the people in it are totally unfathomable and unmanageable. And yet here we are. Rather than succumbing to the madness, see if you can channel some of that proactive, fiery energy into your own life. That annoying person who keeps on trying to boss everyone around? What can you learn from their attitude? Confidence? Will power? Strength? Or maybe you can hone your diplomatic peacemaker skills through the adversity that they are stirring up. What about that other one who never seems to care what anyone else wants to do, they’re going off on their own tangent ready to take on that next best challenge of theirs. What can you learn from their hide-bound independence? That you don’t always need to ask permission? That you can take a page out of their playbook, and embark on your own journey, at your own pace and in your own style? If they are totally comfortable doing their own thing, so can you.
Scorpio
If the daily grind appears to be much more than you had bargained for, see if you can channel some of that fiery, dynamic energy that the Aries stellium is bringing this week. There probably won’t be any way to avoid it. Perhaps the pace at work has drastically picked up speed. Or perhaps you are beginning a whole new schedule and routine that proves to be both inspiring, and overwhelming at the same time. Aries is a sign of renewal. So look for ways to change your schedule, do your job, or create new routines that add a deal more energy into your daily life and activities. That can be anything to taking on a new gym membership, starting a new job, or taking on an exciting new project. All that Aries energy is compelling you to consider the ways that you schedule your day, take care of your health and well-being, and improve your over all drive. One thing to keep an eye out with all of these planets piled into the sign of Aries, is burnout. Channel that fire in a constructive way, but know when it’s time to back out before you get scorched.
Sagittarius
One of the few signs that can easily handle all of that fierce fiery energy that we are having this week, it is Sagittarius. With an abundance of planets now in the sign of Aries, you will just feel invigorated, inspired, and ready to take on all challenges. You see possibilities where others see chaos. You see opportunity where others see burnout. Like a pure shot of adrenaline, you can just feel the energy rising. This is the stuff that Sagittarius lives for. Adventures waiting to happen. New and exciting firsts to be achieved. Aries energy tends to be very physical. So one positive way to channel all of this primal energy is to go out and do something with your body, move it, dance, prance, hike, run, walk, cycle, whatever it takes. Allow it all to move through you, use your feet, your hands, your voice, to be a force of nature. And you will not only amaze yourself, but everyone else as well.
Capricorn
With all of these planets currently transiting the sign of Aries this week, you can expect a lot of activity in the areas of your life where you might usually prefer a little peace and stability. Be prepared for all sorts of activity to occur closer to home and within your personal life. If you are in the midst of some sort of renovation or reconstruction, then this would all make sense. Or perhaps you have all of these relatives decide to unexpectedly ‘drop in’. Or if you work from home, you may suddenly find yourself overwhelmed with all sorts of deadlines needing to be taken care of once and for all. Or maybe all of this is true! Whatever the scenario, things seem a little more excitement than usual at home than you are used to. And trying to find some way of coping, or maintaining the status quo, could prove to be something of a challenge. Seek out private corners where you can recharge and recalibrate. Then go back out and greet all the visitors that just came to watch the game. It’s a full house this week. You can either try to ignore all the noise and commotion, or simply go out and join them.
Aquarius
This is a week chock full of news and information, you might not know what to do with it all. Or even make any sense of it. Perhaps the best way to deal with it, is to just sit with it for a while, and let it all sink in. Just avoid jumping to any conclusions. Things may not be quite as awful and scary as they may seem. And there still may be quite a few questions to be answered before all is said and done. And a lot is probably going to be said. One rule of thumb that might be useful this week, is to pause before speaking, and avoid saying the first thing that comes to mind. The impulse is to blurt things out this week without thinking it through first. Maybe avoid saying the second thing either. Go for the third. It gives you time to think about the consequences of what you are saying, while also considering what the other guy just said. It may not be what you thought it was. This is a time to pace ourselves, lest we regret it later on. On the other hand, that same courage to speak up, and say what’s on your mind, can be refreshing; especially if you are the sort of Aquarius that holds back and rarely speaks up. Sometimes all voices need to be heard.
Pisces
You may not be feeling totally up for this, but it kind of feels like you are needing to reassess a lot of your upcoming plans. Are they indeed practical? Are they sustainable? All those new starts made in recent years, are they meeting your expectations? Or are you needing to regroup and look for more practical and realistic avenues. This is when the rubber meets the road. This does not mean to necessarily give up on the dream, or yourself. It’s more about bringing everything into perspective, and then reassessing all of your resources. It may be that when you explore your options that you might want to create a new financial plan, or breathe new life into your earning power. But ultimately this is feeling like you are wanting to be more financially independent and not having to rely on anyone else. Or to take a bolder approach. This is what it feels like when a whole slew of planets pile on into the sign of Aries this week.
