The month starts off with a bang, as the Sun in Aries lines up with unpredictable Uranus on April 2. This is rather explosive energy, so we might see some earthquake action or aggressive activities in the news. So, for the first week of this month, the element of “chance” is very high. Keep that in mind if you are trying to accomplish something that requires patience and stability, as those things may be harder to come by!
There’s a Total Lunar Eclipse on April 15 at 25 degrees Libra. Eclipses tend to stir up fateful events, so keep your eyes peeled. Things happening now could have far-reaching effects in your life. Want to skew that in a good direction? Be conscious, aware, and responsible about your own decisions and reactions. If your birthday that falls near April 15, this will be a year of milestones and change for you. There’s a Solar Eclipse on April 29, 2014 at 8 degrees Taurus, so, once again, if your birthday falls near this date, get ready for a wild and eventful year!
The big news is the Grand Cardinal Cross, which hits its peak around April 22/23, 2014. Mars, Jupiter, Uranus, and Pluto will be squaring off, pushing and pulling at the fabric of our collective reality. When planetary tension of this magnitude occurs, situations can reach “critical mass.” In a nutshell, sometimes, something’s gotta give, and during these planetary stress cycles, big problems that need resolution tend to surface. Use this to your advantage by taking time in this month to do some conscious self-evaluation and soul searching. Need to overhaul something major in your life right now? Do it voluntarily. April is not a good month to hide your head in the sand, even though you might feel like it.
Astro-Opportunity Dates: April 11, 18, 24 and 25.
Femastrology Horoscopes for April 2013
For all the Sun Signs: With the Lunar and Solar Eclipses and that Grand Cardinal Cross, my advice is, hold to a steady course. No need to hide in your closet until May. But you may wish to rethink recreational travel or any surgeries or medical procedures you have a choice about. April isn’t going to be a “calm” month, so keep a level head when making important decisions.
Aries (March 21-April 19) If you were expecting this to be a boring birthday, think again! Super-charged energy is flowing all around you. What will you do with it? Embrace change, shed your old skin, and take a deep, deep breath. Movement and change is the order of the day. Stagnant patterns are shriveling up. Let them! Pay attention to your important relationships. If they are in flux, there’s a reason.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) This changeful month may hold hidden benefits for you. Sitting on the sidelines may seem boring, but offers a good vantage point to plan future strategies. Follow your intuition and gather your strength and resources now. This will come in handy next month, when there will be more opportunity for action and growth.
Gemini (May 21-June 20) Things may be a bit wild, but you are in a unique position to take advantage of the chaos! Follow your hunches; connect with others of like mind, and take some calculated risks. You may end up leading the pack in business. And your personal life may be starting to improve considerably as well.
Cancer (June 21-July 21) Things may not seem rock solid in your life right now, but luck is on your side. Even with a few disruptions, you are still in a good position to accomplish goals, make friends, and influence people. So make sure you put energy into your outer world activities!
Leo (July 23-August 22) This month could get a little stressful, but if you keep your focus, you should get a lot done. Put energy into long rang plans. Maybe a little conservative risk taking at month’s end? The Universe may be asking you to walk your talk, and follow your own advice. Sounds like a good idea!
Virgo (August 23-September 22) Try not to stress about money. Keep things simple. Less is more. Let projects that aren’t producing fall by the wayside in favor of that which seems the most promising. Tie off loose ends and weed out unsatisfying relationships, both personal and business. You’ll be glad you did.
Libra (September 23-October 22) You are in an exciting phase, but it’s volatile, so watch your back. Changes in key relationships are in the works. You really need to know friend from foe, both personally and in business. Keep a cool head, you’ll need it, as decisions will be demanded of you. Find ways to blow off some steam if necessary…rather than blowing up at people.
Scorpio (October 23-November 21) This could end up being an oddly peaceful period for you, even if those around you are feeling a little nuts. Walk, breathe, relax. Take care of health issues that may have surfaced. If you need a break, a tune up, or just a spa day, take it!
Sagittarius (November 22-December 21) So it’s a weird month, somebody’s gotta have some fun, right? Well, that could be you! Creative energy is flowing through you. Use if for something. Relationships are highlighted. Single centaurs could end up hooking up.
Capricorn (December 22-January 19) Your chart is primed for action and activity. There may be a bit of controversy with home and family issues, but don’t let it sidetrack you. There is potential to make headway with your plans. Hey, there’s even some romance opportunity for single Caps…so don’t forget to be social!
Aquarius (January 20-February 18) This could actually turn in to a productive and even exciting month for you. Follow through on plans, express your ideas, and get out and meet people. Airy and fiery energies could kick start some new directions this month, but only if you are willing to try some new things.
Pisces (February 19-March 20) A bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush…take a look at what is being offered, and who is offering it. There could be some solid developments regarding work and finances. But err on the side of reality, not wishful thinking, when making choices. Love is in the air, but the same advice applies.
