Lunations and Long-term Aspects

The New Moon this month on April 10 is in your polar sign, Aries, which constitutes your 7th house of relationships including your significant other, business partners and professional, close friends and relatives as well as your cliental if you're in business for yourself.  This lunation thus brings the opportunity to bring someone new into your life in one of these categories, particularly if your birthday is right around October 14.  Both Mars and Venus are in conjunction with the Sun and Moon which provides some additional filters for the energy.  Mars is Aries' ruler and will thus provide a nice burst of pure energy while Venus, your sign ruler, delivers some assistance as well. There are sexual connotations to these two paired up like that as well, especially considering that Venus also rules your 8th house of sex, transformations, death and regeneration, debt, and shared resources.

Uranus is in Aries and will be for quite some time which may bring about numerous upsets in your relationships.  You may find that you attract rebellious people, are prone to be involved in various disturbances involving the people in your life or even find the need to break free from those who do not have a positive influence.  As a Libras you may tend to measure yourself by those around you and also depend on them for validation.  If that is not delivered in a favorable way it may be time to move on.  Uranus is also involved in a closed loop aspect that also includes Saturn and Pluto.  Saturn is retrograde in nextdoor neighboring sign, Scorpio, your 2nd house of income, possessions, finances, needs and pleasures.  While RX his typical modus operandi is to work at the subconscious level toward restructuring something related to that house.  You may be entirely unaware of what it might be until he goes direct, which will be in July.  This could thus include anything from your budget to how well your personal needs are met. 

Pluto is in fellow Cardinal Sign, Capricorn, your 4th house of home environment, memories, cultural roots, endings and new beginnings.  Pluto will be there for years and during that time will have a transformational effect on that part of your life.  You may encounter numerous repair issues around your home such as plumbing problems or situations with systems which are hidden or it may relate more to the people in your household, resolving old issues and even eliminating what you no longer need in the form of a cleaning frenzy, something that most people's garage, basement or attic can definitely benefit from.  The aspect between Pluto and Saturn indicates an opportunity which could mean something as simple as cleaning out the garage so you can use it to generate more income or simply enjoy it being in order since Librans have a propensity for beauty and nice surroundings.  A mess will probably grate on your nerves as much as Virgos.  Pluto, however, is being squared by Uranus, which implies letting go or getting rid of anything is easier said than done.  Perhaps someone has you under their control and is keeping you from leaving or accomplishing what you want.  If nothing else, "breaking up is hard to do," especially for a Libra.  If you would rather stay in a bad relationship rather than not be in one at all it's time for you to reconsider your priorities and address the pros and cons in an objective manner, using your sense of fairness on your own needs as effectively as you do those of others.

Mercury in your 6th house of work, health, service and pets is still in Pisces which offers some hope for inspiration with the semisextile to Venus possibly indicating someone at work could offer some good advice or even introduce you to someone new.  Jupiter is in fellow Air Sign, Gemini, your 9th house of beliefs, expectations, higher learning, long-distance travel, other cultures, religion, politics and legal matters.  You may have more information coming your way than you can comfortably handle but you can also use Jupiter to step back and get the big picture, in this case as it applies to what your beliefs and expectations truly are the the source of your attitude toward life.  This could be the key to making any needed adjustments on the homefront.

The Full Moon on April 25 is also a Lunar Eclipse which occurs in Scorpio, again emphasizing your 2nd house of money and needs as defined earlier.  Lunar eclipses typically deliver a lot of emotional energy which can be quite motivating as you put your heart into what you want or need.  With Saturn in close proximity, this can provide some motivation toward restructuring your budget or needs.  The Sun is in Taurus, your 8th house of transformations, sex, death and so forth, also described earlier, with Mars still in proximity even though his energy will be slightly tempered in this sign.  This implies a need for balance between restructuring and doing anything drastic to achieve it.  Also note that Mars in the 8th can predispose you to accidents or hasty actions, so try to keep a level head as well.  Venus is also in Taurus, another sign she rules along with your own, so she can help keep you heading in the right direction at the proper pace.  She can also help you with those home issues if they involve needed transformation on your part.

Neptune in your house of work continues to provide inspiration which can contribute to these other matters as well.  Perhaps work offers an escape from the stresses in your life as opposed to being the main source of it.  If so this can also help you balance the other forces and decisions.  Mercury in Aries will quicken your thought process and open up communications with those you're close to.  Jupiter continues to contribute to your philosophy of life and help you sort things out so you can find yourself and what you're really looking for in life.
