HeartwingsandFriends.com - Tasha's AstroPlanner (April)

The first three days of April look very busy. Sun square Jupiter on the 1st would indicate that at least for some April Fool's Day will be specially foolish. The 1st is also overshadowed by a Sun Uranus square that emerges on the 2nd, Expect the unexpected, for a day or so before and after. However Mercury trining Saturn can help us to figure it all out later in the day.

Things quiet down for a bit while two planets change signs. Venus moves into sympathetic Pisces on the 5th. More heart energy is available, more compassion may guide our choices. Mercury moves into Aries on the 7th, giving a boost to communication and the opportunity to learn about what is new and fun. The next day the Sun opposes Mars and there could be an impact of some kind affecting the legal system or perhaps a balance will be struck there.

A very pleasant Neptune Venus collusion makes for a potential for a spiritual experience Friday the 11th, and possibly Saturday the 12th as well. Then it's quiet for a while and this is almost the last time without significant aspects until the end of the month. The time between the two eclipses is filled with a variety of aspects it will be helpful to be able to make use of. For details see the Planner below or print out the columns and pin them up where you can refer to them.

The aspects on the 14th indicate a day of some impact, possibly involving the emergence of secrets or a sudden revelation, or both. There could be a scandal in the wind possibly exaggerated by a full Moon on the 15th. A good use of the energy is to check within to see what you want to release that keeps you from harmony and balance and see how you can eliminate those things in your life.

The 19th brings us to Taurus, the innovations of Aries give way to the implementations of Taurus. and the aspects of the 20th also reach back to the 19th and indicate a flow of spiritual energy that makes Easter a wonderfully joyous day in unexpected ways. There could be something shocking on the 21st or possibly the day before. This is the culmination of the next big collision between Uranus and Pluto. It could be an Easter to remember.

Immediately following is a series of high impact aspects. The entire week may be one of upheaval, leading the following week to the second eclipse of the month on the 29th. There will surely be some changes by the end of all this. Impact on individuals will vary depending on how closely the energy is aligned with anyone's astrological makeup. The important thing to remember is to make the best possible use of any energy that comes in, for it may be a gift in disguise.
