Month: April 2008

The court of public opinion is now is session. At least you will think so. People with their opinions will be coming out of the woodwork this week. Don’t ask but they’ll tell you just the same. Some weeks the planets seem to have a mind of their own. They refuse to cooperate. This is one of those weeks. Mars opposing Jupiter puts our energy opposite conventional wisdom. Why must we always try to paddle up stream.

With Moon in Capricorn trine Mercury in Taurus you might feel like you are awakening from some kind of slumber. Also, Mercury in Taurus is square to Neptune in Aquarius, it is unclear whether it is a dream that you can’t wake up from or is this really happening? The confusion will pass within a few days and you will feel like yourself again. But don’t be surprised if you feel like you have experienced an episode of vertigo.

Although, this continuous drag on your good nature seems to persist, don’t give in to feelings of depression or bad humor. Everything will start to improve in a big way very soon. There is light at the end of the tunnel. Given the pressures that you have endured over the past couple of years, you should be able to transition easily to a new and more comfortable state of mind.

The left hand should know what the right hand is doing. But it’s not always the case. This week brings about a disparity in expectations. What one thinks will happen, doesn’t. Venus square Mars in Cancer stirs up a lot of anxieties that go undetected until the last minute. Suddenly, we are not able to perform. Mars in Cancer is opposed to Jupiter in Capricorn. Emotional confusion stirs things up and prevents concrete action from being taken.

The Sun in Taurus is good for taking some time for rest and relaxation. The Sun is trine Saturn in Virgo. The month will be good for getting things done. Earth signs are very hard working. So Virgo & Taurus being earth signs help to open up new opportunities for practical advancement.

Expect some change in plans to upset your calm. Mars trine Uranus will bring about some deep seated feelings that you shouldn’t allow to destroy your tranquil state of mind. These feelings of angst will soon disappear and you will not suffer any permanent damage. There will be a transformation that will allow you to move ahead because until now you have not been able to break through this barrier. This will be a very good thing for your future. Let go of your fears and live a little.

You get an abundance of unwanted advice during this coming week. People at every stop will give you their opinion on what you should do about any and all of your problems. I’m sure they mean well but it is better to follow your own plan. You will have no one to blame but yourself if things don’t go as planned. Jupiter is square to Mercury and Mercury is conjunct the Sun so you can feel offended if people don’t respect your boundaries. Don’t overreact but consider the source.

Venus will be trine to the Moon so take some pleasant energy away from this aspect. The Moon in Leo is a little self centered while Venus in Aries confers great physical energy. Enjoy the combination of these two fire signs and treat yourself to an enjoyable activity. This week will be filled with some surprises especially connected with the general attitude of people around you. You’ll find a compassionate tone when dealing with serious subjects.

Pluto trine to retrograde Saturn continues to unravel many complex issues. Once these unconscious obstacles come to the surface, they will be dealt with in a constructive way. Don’t just scratch the surface as a deeper probing will reveal some self truths. Know yourself and you will know the others. Know the others and you will know yourself.

This is going to be a fiery week coming up although it doesn’t feel much like it now. There are 4 planets (a stellium) in the sign of Aries. Remember the words from that song “once there was a silly old ram, thought he could poke a hole in a damn….” Anyway, there is going to be a firestorm during the week ahead. The planets in Aries are the Sun, Moon, Mercury and Venus. Mercury and Venus are personal planets so you will feel yourself drawn into heated conversations.

Jupiter in Cancer is square to the moon in Aries. This will give a productive and contemplative tone to the influences that are around you. You will want to do the wise thing but actions are often dictated by our unconscious. We often do things because our instincts compel us to do them. It is difficult to become more conscious and to take responsibility for our actions.

Saturn is square Venus so we will have mixed feelings about our personal life. We will feel one minute like we are happy with our situation and unhappy the next minute. Try to find the areas of your life where you are blessed and realize that for every advantage is a disadvantage. Start to make peace with life and be grateful for whatever God has given you.
