Astrology by JUAN MARCO TORRES
Coming off a lovely Sun-Venus conjunction last month in Aries, our calibrated heart knows where it stands. During the next month, we are ready to take concrete action towards what makes us feel authentically good and fulfilled. Apart from the Sun’s ingress into Taurus at the end of the month, April also features Mars’ ingress into Cancer – motivating us to move gently and strategize intuitively. We finish off with a bang, a Full Moon in Scorpio in opposition to Uranus in Taurus, a face-off of electrifying energy that allows for emotional release and the fertilization of the transformation happening all around us.
ARIES
As various cycles come to and end for you during this season, it gives you the fresh start you need to shine in April. Mercury, the Great Communicator, enters your sign on the 3rd, and you have the mental clarity and stability to rethink any strategy. Pay attention to important messages coming for you this month. Venus has your best financial interest as it enters Taurus and it’s a chance to take advantage of the resources coming to you this month – especially coming from other people with the Full Moon in Scorpio on the 26th. Think about how to best transform what you spend your valuable time, and energy on in order to best head forward.
TAURUS
With Mercury and the Sun finishing up their travels through an introspective part of your chart, the New Moon in Aries on the 11th is a prime opportunity for an emotional renaissance and for getting in touch with the most intimate aspects of yourself. While it may be confusing to take concrete action towards your dream, your intuition will be the most precise compass for guidance. Venus enters your sign on the 14th bringing a much needed sense of comfort. This comes at the perfect timing to make one final internal sweep before making the external changes you need. The icing on the cake is a Full Moon in Scorpio in opposition to Uranus – bringing sudden shifts to your relationship sector. Watch what comes to light for you.
GEMINI
