Horoscope for the Week:  April 9, 2021
 
Tip of the Week:
This  week begins with the Moon conjunct Neptune. The current degree placement of Neptune reveals a deep and powerful theme of inner understanding. That consciousness precedes matter, is a good example of the magnitude of the message it holds. Meanwhile, Mercury is exactly conjunct Chiron, which hosts the archetypal theme of the wounded healer, in Aries. Specifically, due to its exact degree, it reveals a theme of psychic amnesia, as with forgetting who and what we truly are. Of course, the answer is simple: we are souls incarnate attending the 3-D Earth school.
The Moon will subsequently form conjunctions to Chiron and Mercury before it arrives at its monthly conjunction with the Sun to seed yet another lunation cycle, the event we regard as a New Moon. These conjunctions and the one that follows just hours later to Venus are destined to trigger a cycle of healing involving the remembrance and recognition of our truly dignified status as souls incarnate.
Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 19)
The sleeper awakens! Well, you have probably been awakening for the past few weeks but the New Moon in your sign will have an extra riveting effect. Expect to be activated and energized to tackle whatever projects, problems and challenges in your way. Fixes and repairs are featured and you will increasingly want to get straight to the point.
Taurus (Apr 20 – May 20)
Plans planted deep, is a core theme of your destiny. You do not like leaving things to chance, even if things happen to go that way. So, this time you are determined to be more careful and deliberate. Doing so will require patience and reflection, enough time to meditate upon your desired outcome and the steps you will take. Take the time to dream-up a realistic plan.
Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21)
You have entered a cycle of awakening. It is and will continue to activate your resolve to take new leads and strides.  This may include new perceptions, realizations, interpretations and self-concepts. Yet, it could be as simple as the excitement of new projects inspired by the season. Your success includes a clear vision of the future with you in ready-soldier-mode.
Cancer (Jun 22 – Jul 22)
This New Moon occurs in your solar house of career and public status. It suggests that one way or another you are likely to get attention.  It is also likely that you want it. But, it may be the kind that simply and quietly brings recognition enough to advance your position somehow. Yet, other factors indicate that you may have to assert yourself to make your case known.
Leo (Jul 23 – Aug 23)
You share the distinction of being a fire element sign with Aries and Sagittarius. So, the current line-up of planets in Aries will give you a stronger inspirational boost than others. As it occurs in your solar 9^th house, ruled by Sagittarius, it stands to activate a visionary fervor. Expansion is a keyword.  Yet, you do have to pay to play and this includes disciplined skill development.
Virgo (Aug 24 – Sep 22)
Spring is the time for you to focus to shed a skin, or two, or three perhaps even. The skins implied are symbolic of worn-out attitudes, destructive or self-defeating patterns and habits, limiting self-concepts, narrow perceptions and interpretations and so on… Use this time to take new initiatives that will serve to activate upward spirals of personal power.
Libra (Sep 23 – Oct 22)
Are you ready for something or perhaps someone, new? Destiny and free will are involved, and then there are prayers and intentions. Supporting the latter with clarity and visualizations is ideal. Just remember, destiny is involved, contrary to the promises of many manifestation coaches. On the other hand, co-creation is required. Play to win, but especially enjoy the game.
Scorpio (Oct 23 – Nov 21)
You share something in common with Aries and that is Mars. Ruler of Aries and co-ruler of Scorpio along with Pluto, you have full license to access the activating and driving power-mode of Mars. For you, it carries a core theme of individuation, invention, original design and possibility. Focus to harness this opportunity in a way that honors your originality.
Sagittarius (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
Aries time is destined to inspire you to creative activity.  This year it carries an extra charge. It will lead you to speak your truth more assertively. It does remain that you may have to contend with scattered perspectives that make it difficult to think as clearly as you would like. The solution is to allow for variety, yet to the rounds until each focus is completed.
Capricorn (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
This Aries New Moon will activate you at a deep and personal level. If there is a warrior within you, and there most certainly it, it will be awakened within you. However, it will also trigger your fight or flight instincts. Running away is not failure or defeat if it means ‘live today to fight another day.’ You may also run from one thing but charge on other fronts. Trust your heart.
Aquarius (Jan 20 – Feb 19)
In the Age of Aquarius, of which we are still in the literal minutes after the crack of dawn,   based on the 2160-year cycle it implies, a core theme of destiny for us all is information wars. On the high side, this will lead to truth and justice. Currently, you may notice that the truth is that justice and true equality, civility has yet to be realized. Yet, you are committed.
Pisces (Feb 20 – Mar 20)
This Aries cycle, which will be amplified by the New Moon and therefore will extend into Taurus time, into the first third of May, is igniting your ambitions. It is causing you to dig a little deeper than you might otherwise. This could include cleaning in the corner, redecorating or perhaps even renovating. Either way, it is all about supporting those new ambitions.

Horoscope for the Week:  April 2, 2021

Tip of the Week:
The Moon in its last quarter phase is also noteworthy as it forms a conjunction with Pluto activating a new cycle that will trigger the growing tension between establishment authority and the growing revolutionary rise linked to Jupiter and Saturn.
Mercury entering Aries on April 5^th is perhaps the biggest event this week. Its journey through Pisces has perhaps proven peaceful and relaxing, but not very motivating. Because Mercury travels so fast and, due to its lightweight nature in terms of its transiting affect, its impact may not always be very evident. However, because it is entering fiery, impulsive, pioneering and expressive Aries and joining forces with Sun, Venus, Chiron and the major asteroid Ceres, its influence will indeed prove measurable. As well, with the Lunar North Node in Gemini, which Mercury is the ruling planet of and with Mars, the ruler of Aries, in Gemini, Mercury entering the first sign of the zodiac will take  on that much more punch  and impact.
Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 19)
Spring is here and the rising feeling it is bringing is activating you both inside and out. With Mercury entering Aries, you will feel like you are coming out of a dream that held on well past the alarm. By early next week, you will feel the ignition and this burst of energy will increase steadily. Make time for friend time and networking for best results.
Taurus (Apr 20 – May 20)
Ironically, all this Aries energy may not have the same effect on you as for many others since the line-up will all occur in your solar zone of retreat and escapism. However, it can be applied to dreaming-up schemes and plans. You could also be productive behind the scenes in terms of preparations. Use this time to think carefully and strategically.
Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21)
Mercury entering Aries will add to a restless mood that has been building these past few weeks. Positively, it will lead to assertive action. Yet, if blocked for any reason, you could become increasingly moody and rebellious. If this occurs, check-in to see if the limitations are originating from your own attitude and interpretations. If so, change your mind.
Cancer (Jun 22 – Jul 22)
A series of fresh starts and initiatives in your public and/or professional life should be evident by now. These will continue this week and will build towards an even bigger boost with the Aries New Moon next weekend. In some respects, the destiny flow is guiding you to surrender. Alternately, you feel bound and determined to take new leads.
 
Leo (Jul 23 – Aug 23)
In the bigger picture, you have entered an expansive cycle that also includes whole new cycle of commitment. It does involve some technical learning and experience. You have probably been required to do some research and the going may be slower than expected or seemingly blocked altogether. Currently, seeing a bigger picture and breaking through barriers may be necessary.
Virgo (Aug 24 – Sep 22)
You have entered a transformational cycle. This process will continue well into April and will also deepen. There is a strong emphasis on your career. Mercury in Pisces has probably not made it easy to focus, but that is about to shift. Expect to dive-in deeper based in part on new realizations regarding future directions and complex social realities.
Libra (Sep 23 – Oct 22)
A strong emphasis on relationships is keeping you busy. This trend will continue. Themes of healing are indicated and may require you to make efforts to identify any blind spots. Knowing your direction may not be evident these days. Yet, one thing is probably clear and this you want to feel free and live on your own terms.
Scorpio (Oct 23 – Nov 21)
Needs adjustments and perhaps even outright changes in your lifestyle are emphasized now. With your ambitions running strong, these changes may have to do with what is required to realize the successes you desire. You may feel both confident in your abilities, yet also intimidated. Your willingness to give more than you might usually is probably necessary.
Sagittarius (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
You have entered a cycle that can be described as sporting and playful. However, it could also manifest as new dramas to contend with. Both possibilities do depend on your attitude and perspective. You may notice that you have been learning a lot since the year began and the study focus has been both diverse and serious. You want to know and not be told.
Capricorn (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
The spotlight turns to the home front. A busy time is indicated, yet one that may actually feel extra satisfying. Your sights are set on the future and you are eager to increase your lot, yet this requires focus and investment. Bringing your dreams down to earth is requiring you visualize what you want with emphasis on the finer details.
Aquarius (Jan 20 – Feb 19)
An information war is underway and you may notice that you are in warrior mode. S expansive as you feel on one hand, your mood is sober and realistic on the other. You may feel burdened by circumstances yet are determined to push through obstacles. This requires discipline and a strategic focus and you are on board with both, or perhaps should be…
Pisces (Feb 20 – Mar 20)
Although you do feel ambitious of late, you are also happy to advance at a steady pace, what might be described as ‘slow but sure.’ Yet, it is this very steadiness that is supporting you to get a lot done. Much of the work is occurring behind the scenes and ideally includes a follow-through focus on projects initiated in the past. Either way, circumstances are pushing you to dig deep.

1-800-836-0648

Tip of the Week:
A close and rare triple conjunction between the Sun, Venus and Chiron at 8-9 degrees of Aries occurs on March 28th. Meanwhile, Mercury is closely conjunct Neptune in Pisces. Pluto in Capricorn occupies the powerful position of planet of highest degree. Unaspected planets can be understood as ‘unintegrated’ and, thereby, lose some of their power. As of March 21st, Pluto was technically ‘unaspected’ and remains so until April 1st. Pluto in Capricorn is symbolic of the transformation of governments and, due to Covid-19, they are becoming much stronger than ever before. The question is, is this power being directed to empower or to control humanity?
Spirituality often refers to the realities of actual higher powers and having a divine source. It is said that due to the law of free will this divine power or intervention is accessed by sincere request. Materialism negates this higher, inner dimensional divine source, yet for all of our science and technological prowess, we have never, and will never, be able to create a single seed that Nature creates in abundance. Contemplate this fact to awaken to divine source and call upon it to help heal humanity.

 
 
Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 19)
You are probably on a roll now. Yet, you may still be dealing with some lingering early morning fog. Mercury in Pisces and conjunct Neptune is the culprit and may prove especially strong for you. Be aware of the encroaching perceptual ‘weather pattern’ as the week develops. For best results, aim to lay low, rest, retreat or enjoy leisurely, inspiring. It could prove strong, but won’t last long.
Taurus (Apr 20 – May 20)
Taking some time out to recharge your batteries is probably wise now. This cycle will continue for a few weeks. Doing so, you will be better able to launch into spring a third of the way in, especially when Taurus time begins, or even perhaps a little earlier when, in mid-April, your ruling planet, Venus, enters your sign. Mercury enters Taurus first, then the Sun will follow up a few days later. Dream-up plans now.
Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21)
Aries time often manifests as a punchy and rebellious cycle for you. Eager to dive into the new season, you tend to respond earlier than others to the stronger rays. Since you have entered an important learning cycle since late December 2020, but may not be sure of your direction or what to study, that may be your best focus – clarity and decision.
Cancer (Jun 22 – Jul 22)
One way or another, you are getting extra attention. With Mars in Gemini, you are likely either feeling bold and courageous these days, or anxiously looking for your escape exit. It is likely that you are feeling extra philosophical and contemplative these days. Among other things, you may be wondering what the feelings of deep change and transformation you are undergoing is all about.
Leo (Jul 23 – Aug 23)
Life is all about relationships and some cycles invite us to dive in deeper than others, and this is one of them. This is not a long cycle, but it could prove to be quite profound and transformational. Featured in this plot is a theme of commitment. It includes a deep, slow but sure process of change and transformation which in its highest reach is about spiritual mastery of some kind.
Virgo (Aug 24 – Sep 22)
You have entered a cycle that implies some forms of creative design. It includes the need to learn new skills and approaches, so be willing to exercise your beginner’s mind. Teaching and/or learning from others includes training. This may require more energy and effort that you thought, but the results stand to prove very rewarding, so commit and invest.
Libra (Sep 23 – Oct 22)
A push for freedom has and continues to be a central theme. Freedom from the past, health concerns financial burdens are all examples. Your success depends on accessing wisdom, according to your specific needs. Use this word to guide you to identify and access the best sources available. Patience is a keyword these days, yet it is countered by creative expansion.
Scorpio (Oct 23 – Nov 21)
The time has come to pay closer attention to the quality of your daily life. This includes strengthening your over foundation. This trend will continue for several weeks, well into May, actually, so begin now and use this time frame to guide your focus. Like building a high wall, the footing stones are extra important. Take your time to secure these as your top priority.
Sagittarius (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
The Sun in Aries marks a creative, energetic and inspirational cycle. Of course, there are ever other factors and themes of influence at play. Positively, you feel inspired and this steady rise will continue as Mercury joins Sun and Venus in Aries. Yet, you may be dealing with some opposition these days, which will prove especially agitating to the extent that you are not clear about what you want and need.
Capricorn (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
This is one of those cycles when you want to stay close to home. Yet, this does not mean you will be idle. In fact, you could find yourself busier and working harder than usual. Financial interests and goals are especially strong and your sights are set on the future. To this end you are eager and willing to learn and do what it takes to catch the wave of prosperity.
Aquarius (Jan 20 – Feb 19)
With the new season, your spirits are rising along with your energy levels. This is an expansive time in your life, yet it also requires that you are willing to pay your dues. What these imply is for you to decipher, but they are there. Positively, you feel excited regarding new projects which are serving to reveal your creative genius and versatility.
Pisces (Feb 20 – Mar 20)
You are on an ambitious role. This trend will increase steadily over the coming weeks and months. In some respects, your dive and determination is to get to the bottom of things. This may prove especially true regarding finances. Yet, it also includes the expression of your talents. To this end, you are wise to take a proactive and pioneering approach.

Horoscope for the Week:  March 19, 2021
Tip of the Week:
Spring Equinox has officially arrived. Of course, this arrival is due to the travels of our own planet in its eternal orbit around the Sun. Right on time as ever, we arrive at that place when the hours of day and night are equal. What makes this entire event and process of reality so interesting is that our collective perceptual experience knows nothing of this cyclic event with our planet travelling an average of 30 km/second or 67,000 km/hour! Compare this to an average bullet which travels about 854 meters/second or 3070meters/hour, which amounts to our planet travelling 21,824 times faster than a fired bullet. How truly feeble we are compared to the powers of nature.
The Sun enters Aries on March 20, followed by Venus on the 22^nd. Combined with Mars in Gemini and other factors, we can expect angry, temper outbursts, and aggression on the social and political scene as politicians make decisions that fly in the face of readily available facts. Although nature is ever in charge, the maneuverings of power for supremacy are ever on the march.
 
Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 19)
Sun and Venus entering Aries now will ignite your passions. These events will lead you to the next level of industry. Mars in Gemini suggests that you have already begun to attend to things on a variety of fronts. Expressions of or foundations to reveal beauty will prove especially attractive. In the bigger picture, a push for freedom and democracy will become evident.
Taurus (Apr 20 – May 20)
A busy cycle begins with emphasis on activities inside and out. The inside job could refer to getting in the dark corners, a la spring cleaning, but it can also include more emotional and psychological themes of focus.  The Sun in Aries in your solar 12^th house, the domain of the subconscious mind presents an opportunity to plant powerful seeds of belief, intention and desire.
Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21)    
Mars in your sign will get a big extra boost as the Sun and Venus enters Aries, then again when Mercury follows suit on April 4. Altogether, these will spark a revolutionary impulse within you. You may even be surprised yourself with circumstances and perhaps new Intel prompting you to take a 180-degree turn.  However, the greater measure of this may be delayed until Mercury enters Aries.
Cancer (Jun 22 – Jul 22)
Aries time is traditionally an extra strong go-ahead cycle for you, especially in terms of your public life and career. However, Mars in Gemini might steer you away from the crowd this year. Still,  you  may be interested in new tools and techniques even if implementing them comes later. With Mercury slowly strolling through Pisces, you may crave peace and quiet more than usual.
Leo (Jul 23 – Aug 23)
The Sun in Aries forms a natural, creatively inspirational trine to your sign. This will synchronize with a boost of confidence to increase your outreach and scope of influence. Naturally, this will increase your popularity somehow. Whether this manifests as fame or infamy depends on the quality of your participation. Positively, you have entered an expansive and exciting cycle!
Virgo (Aug 24 – Sep 22)
Last week’s New Moon is activating new relationship involvements. By now, these are entering a decisive phase. Mars in Gemini indicates that you could be accessing new knowledge via a special training series or you may even be one giving it. Balancing creative aspiration with factual and usable knowledge is featured. Either way, exercise your beginner’s mind and your willingness to learn.
Libra (Sep 23 – Oct 22)
The Sun in Aries activates your relationship life. Other factors indicate that it will trigger themes of freedom. Freedom from whom or what is for you to decide but you will feel it. Freedom for ill health or toxic lifestyle habits is quite possible. Even wheat and refined sugar in your diet may be deemed toxic. This impulse toward new or reactivated relationship involvement will increase.
Scorpio (Oct 23 – Nov 21)
The recent New Moon sowed a seed of creative possibility. The Sun entering Aries adds to this now germinating event with an increase of will and resolve. Yet, you may have to give more than you would like. This is one of those moments when you may feel challenged to discern between what constitutes the higher and the lower road. Feel the fear to work with the changes rolling in.
Sagittarius (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
Epic times call for epic choices and actions. The Sun in Aries brings a sporting attitude to the fore and Mars in Gemini represents the challenge. It includes seeing through fogs of confusion and possibly of apathy, escapism, denial and perhaps misguided knowledge. This is a call to engage in creative and critical thinking which includes opening your mind to multiple sources of information.
Capricorn (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
Circumstances are leading you to make extra efforts. Directing your energy towards beautifying your home may prove especially inspiring. Thanks to waves of imaginative thinking that continue to roll in, you may be able to see things from entirely new perspectives. Your sights remain set on the future and you know you have to commit and this includes paying your dues. Do you know what they are?
Aquarius (Jan 20 – Feb 19)
The Aries impulse is activating your drive for more knowledge. Interests in speculation, investments and gambling are spiking on the graph currently. At worst, you may feel a little overwhelmed by the many changes unfolding in the world, in part due to their magnitude and velocity. Especially due to the Pisces influence, make efforts to meditate and avoid indulging in overactive imagination.
Pisces (Feb 20 – Mar 20)
The New Moon in your sign is sure to have an activating effect. Expect it to synchronize with new initiatives and perhaps on a variety of fronts. Financial themes may prove especially strong for the next several weeks so give them their due. Mars in Gemini is leading you to dig deep into your treasure trove   of talents and lay full claim to them. Mercury in Pisces will actually help.

Horoscope for the Week:  March 5, 2021
Tip of the Week:
Pisces time lingers on as week three begins. Spring is in sight and will seem to arrive sooner than other years. This will manifest as a surprising boost of energy when Mars enters Gemini (March 4 – April 23) where it tends to manifest as increased mental stimulation and alertness. Mercury in Aquarius meanwhile is conjunct Jupiter for a third time due to its retrograde cycle synchronizing as much-needed awakening.
So, Mars in Gemini and Mercury in Aquarius are engaged to sound trumpets activating a new round of truth-seeking and critical thinking. Yet, the overall chart pattern is what is called a ‘locomotive’ referring to a train complete with a front engine leading the charge, and a caboose or trailing planet following-up in the rear. In this case, the lead is Pluto in Capricorn and Mars in Gemini at the tail, both ruled by Scorpio. With this overall planetary dynamic, governments will likely retaliate with increased draconian measures hoping to intercept revolutionary fervor.
Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 19)
Mars in Gemini should manifest as a welcome boost of energy this week. This energy pattern will rise steadily like a high pressure system for about a dozen days before it descends back into a low pressure for a short while. So, if you have goals and projects, tune-in to initiate a momentum to get a jump start on spring. As the groundhog revealed, winter will yield early this year.
Taurus (Apr 20 – May 20)
Fresh starts destined in your public and professional life have begun. The process of beginning is still underway, but will enter into the next effective phase with Mars in Gemini. This could manifest as a busier schedule and, fortunately, a boost of energy to support a multi-tasking period. Despite the overall social swamp of shutdowns, you may be able to make dreams come true.
Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21)    
Reflections on life’s deeper meanings and your role and purpose in it as this stage continue as a central    theme. Yet, Mars entering your sign will synchronize with a creative boost of energy. On one hand, this will serve to increase and sharpen your contemplations, while on the other you will feel moved to take more deliberate action. This shift will lead you to engage more closely with others.
Cancer (Jun 22 – Jul 22)
One way or another, you have been undergoing transformational changes. These actually have a few layers and the surface themes have already shifted to their next destined phase. This shift includes a spiritual and meditative aspect which will continue and deepen over the coming weeks. Call it a soul-searching phase destined to lead you to brighter lights of truth.
Leo (Jul 23 – Aug 23)
The cycle of the Sun though Pisces in your solar chart features a Scorpio theme. Transformation is a key word as it is a core feature of the creative process. Outer activity and other key players will engage your attention, sparking a revolutionary impulse. This will inspire a new quality of creative self-expression and social outreach which will increase steadily through spring.
Virgo (Aug 24 – Sep 22)
A shift towards new relationship involvements has already begun and will go to their next effective level activated by the coming New Moon in Pisces. This process includes something of an apprenticeship phase. It will require you to summon every ounce of confidence and positivity to offset doubt and worry. Fortunately, the planetary gods are in your favor to support your cause.
Libra (Sep 23 – Oct 22)
Health has been and continues to be a central theme these days. Beyond physical health, this emphasis may include the health of your diet, friend network, your dreams and lifestyle rhythms and routines altogether. In any case, circumstances continue to push you to dig deep and to be as realistic as you can so you can effectively weed out any toxic behavior or relationships patterns.
Scorpio (Oct 23 – Nov 21)
Pisces time represents a creative cycle for you, by divine design. So, that is the best way to respond to it. Yet, the focus can be directed to your love life as well as other creative expressions. Can you be more present, respectful, acknowledging, empathetic, conscientious, romantic…, with the one(s) you love? Step back, observe and really notice where your creative energies need to be invested.
Sagittarius (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
You are happy to huddle in close to home now and this mood will continue into spring. Yet, the pace is busy perhaps especially with communications with family neighbors and friends. As well, you want answers and to understand others in general and what is going on in the world .To this end, you are more open to new knowledge, perceptions and interpretations than usual.
Capricorn (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
More than usual, you have and continue to want to get a firmer grasp on where things are headed. While the future cannot be absolutely predicted due to the role of free will, at least a sense of probability will do. Yet, the Pisces factor is also directing you to appreciate the intrinsic value regarding current events and the choices you feel inclined to make. Balance journey with outcome.
Aquarius (Jan 20 – Feb 19)
The seeds of a new beginning have gestated and are now beginning to take root. This will become increasingly evident over the coming days and weeks. The strong Aquarius factor is leading you to set your sights on the future. This does include the prospects of making needed changes close to home, perhaps even thoughts about making some big moves, literally and figuratively.
Pisces (Feb 20 – Mar 20)
A busy time behind the scenes continues this week. Plans, dreams, schemes and strategies are all dancing in your mind. Yet, these have also required realistic clarification and outline in preparation for their actual expression. This more proactive stage is now fast approaching. The New Moon in your sign on March 13 will serve to activate your desire to express yourself in beautiful ways.
