April will bring a return to the norm. Mercury and Mars will be turning direct, and the outer planets will be mostly quiet. We've got some good days coming and some bad ones, but nothing that will last for any length of time. If you happen to be under clear skies on Earth Day, April 22nd, be sure to look up. You may just see a falling star from the Lyrid meteor shower.

There could be some really cute pranks on April Fool's Day, April 1st, with the Moon in fun loving Leo. But, Mercury will be turning direct on Wednesday, April 4th, while Venus argues with Neptune. On top of the usual travel and communication problems that comes with Mercury changing directions, there could also be some emotional confusion through Thursday, April 5th.

We have the Libra Full Moon bringing balance on Good Friday, April 6th, but Easter weekend may begin with a few acts of stupidity with Venus and Mars fighting on Saturday, April 7th. Things will improve on Sunday. In fact we may find ourselves ready to really forgive others on Easter Sunday.

Pluto will be turning retrograde on Tuesday, April 10th. Pluto is the planet of powerful transformations. Those with dominate Scorpio in their charts may be extra sensitive Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, April 10th through the 12th. The rest of us may find that our tempers are short, or we may encounter a small tragedy.

The grand red planet, Mars, will be turning direct on Orthodox Good Friday, April 13th. Whenever a planet is switching directions, it can make things difficult. Mars is our energy and our sex drives. Mars' direct station may bring feelings of lethargy, or we may find our anger creeping up, especially those with dominate Aries in their charts. But, on the plus side, Mars is very close to the Earth right now and ready for viewing. Get out and take a look at the bright red star. Look for Mars in the eastern sky shortly after sundown. It will be 2 years before Mars is this close again!

Work could be piling up, and relationships may get neglected for the Orthodox Easter Weekend and the last day of Passover, April 14th and 15th. But, life will definitely improve on Monday April 16th as Mercury reenters Aries. The rest of the week will have little planetary activity, and we should be happy with our normal routines. Our nerves may be a bit frayed on Friday, April 20th, but the New Moon in Taurus early Saturday morning should bring a calming effect.

Earth Day weekend, April 21st and 22nd, could bring some very positive events into our lives. The Sun will be shaking hands with Neptune and dancing with Mars. This could bring our creative and psychic energies to the surface. Mercury will also be teaming up with Uranus, which means brainstorms ahead! As I mentioned above, the Lyrid meteor shower will also be happening above us. Viewing may not be really great this year, but if you're lucky, you may just catch a falling star.

The week of April 23rd will begin with accomplishments with the Sun and Mars still doing the Tango. It will be a great day for staff meetings and meeting new people. We may hit some minor obstacles on Wednesday, April 25th, with Mercury taking a poke at Pluto, and the week will end homeward bound under the influence of the Cancer Moon.

The last 3 days of April, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, April 28th, 29th, and 30th, should bring progress with the Sun and Pluto singing in harmony. The Moon will also be in Leo, so weekend getaways will be the best! No matter what we decide to do (or not do), April will end on a grand note.

Venus will begin her biennial retrograde in May, and some will want to reexamine lost loves. Also, we have a very positive aspect, a double grand trine, creating a hexagram in the zodiac for Mothers' Day. Check back next month to find out more.
