Lunations and Long-term Aspects

The New Moon on April 10 is in fellow Cardinal Sign, Aries, your 4th house of home environment, memories, cultural roots, endings and new beginnings.  With Mars and Venus conjunct the Sun and Moon their energy is also incorporated into this lunation.  The energy has changed significantly from last month when we were dealing with that Piscean Parade that had so many of us feeling like space cadets.  Whatever contemplation and soul searching was done during that time, perhaps while imbibing your favorite adult beverage as well, now it is time to take action.  Mars rules Aries and is strong in that sign and he is also the traditional ruler of Scorpio, your 11th house of goals, friends, groups, organizations, hopes and wishes, making this a favorable time to set out on a new goal.  Most Cappies are goal oriented, anyway, so this provides a bit more cosmic fuel for whatever you care to pursue.  Venus is in a sign where she's not at her best but nonetheless she can be helpful, too, in going after something you need.  As ruler of your 5th house of ego definition, creative expression, children, romance, entertainment and speculation as well as your 10th of career and reputation, she can assist you with endeavors associated with those areas as well.

If your birthday is right around January 11 this lunation squares your natal Sun, putting a little bit of stress on it, but that can simple serve as the needed motivation.  Uranus in Aries, where he'll be for quite some time, hints at change and breaking free from anything that has been holding you back.  This won't necessarily be easy but the restlessness he's likely to generate will likewise give you a push in the right direction sooner or later.  Uranus is squaring you Sun if your birthday is right around December 31.  He is quincunx Saturn, your sign ruler, who's retrograde in Scorpio, your 11th house of goals and such defined earlier.  This indicates that a fairly significant change is in work and rumbling around in your subconscious like that bad Chinese food was a while back.  It will be summer before it all makes sense but it will. 

Pluto is tied in with both Uranus and Saturn where he is helping you to break away from the past and embrace a new direction of some sort. Inspiration is available as Mercury covers the last few degrees of Pisces and can help with whatever Venus is up to.  If you're not sure what you want to be when you grow up or how to get there, this combination can be useful.  Jupiter in your 6th house of work, health, pets and service is generating perhaps too many ideas but Pluto will help you sift through them as well, eliminating the ones that aren't viable so you can come up with a sense of direction there as well.

The Full Moon on April 25 is also a Lunar Eclipse which gives it a whole lot more punch and staying power than the usual garden-variety lunation.  This occurs in Scorpio, your aforementioned 11th house of goals and groups.  Lunar eclipses tend to operate on the emotional level and can assist with finding where your heart really lies.  Saturn is just a few degrees downstream so this eclipse can help you process what's going on there as well.  Mars is conjunct the Sun, again infusing energy there which happens to be your 5th house of ego and creativity.  Thus, both the Sun and the eclipse Moon have additional energy pointing you toward action with an emotional component.  With the Moon in Scorpio and the Sun in Taurus the balance between passion and practicality is highlighted as well as taking action versus careful planning.  Balance is the keyword which incorporates the best of both.

Venus in Taurus, a sign she rules, is trining Pluto which is a nice aspect for finding your true self and disposing of anything you don't need anymore, particularly anything you need to get rid of so you can replace it with something better.  Neptune is inspiring your thoughts and ideas and sending that energy your way to further help you sort through the options if you currently don't exactly know where to head.  This is also the key for mitigating those oppositions calling for balance.  Jupiter and Mercury are floating around unaspected as the separate from a sextile that was in effect a few days before.  This suggests that an opportunity may have already presented itself so think back to what occurred around April 23rd or so and give it serious thought if you haven't already.
