Astrology April 2020
Happy April, I trust you are all keeping safe & well at this super unusual time!
Typically, we read Astro Information based on our Sun Sign, however you can gain much better insight if you read for both your Sun, Rising (or Ascendant) & Moon Signs. You can ascertain these by going to a free Chart calculator (there are many on line now!) & entering your own personal information. Usually, we’re asked for our time of birth & it can prove a sticking point if we don’t know it! If you don’t know your exact time of birth, enter Noon (12:00pm) where asked, & this will serve as a “happy medium”. Take the time to do this (you’ll only have to do it once, not every month) & note the Sign of your 1st House & your Moon Sign. They’re often different from your Sun Sign, but knowing this “trifecta” offers information that’s deeper & more relevant to who you really are. This way, Astrology will start to make a lot more sense to you, personally.
For those of you who track the path of the Moon, I’ve included the Date, Time, Sign & Degree of both Full & New Moons below the news for each Sign, just scroll down.
ARIES Well, you guys are always up for a challenge of the go hard or go home variety & you’ve definitely been woken up with a bang this Month, as have we all! Things are bound to be feeling surreal & you’re most likely acting outwardly but, until mid Month, spending a lot of time in your head. Though we’ve been cooped up, I’m sure you’ll have been whizzing round your local neighbourhood & there’s likely to be news & catch ups, even if only electronically somehow, with siblings & family. Even so, there’s also emphasis on giving/sharing & contributing of your time & resources to the collective, or any groups & organisations you’re part of & it’s the beginning of a new structure here. You’ve got fresh starts with regard to what you value & some eye opening events & realisations with regard to partnerships. Turning lemons into lemonade is your forte, so use it!
TAURUS Just when you could have needed to get a bit of mental rest, we get hit up with a tidal wave. On the one hand you’re sure to be busy but the busy is likely focused on your home. Taking your mind off things in a constructive way is called for, so if you’ve been meaning to brush up on some work skills, or do a short course to add a few strings to your bow, take a look at some on line courses. Though many are worried about their finances right now, you have your Ruling Planet, Venus, in your money House, so I’d say you’ll fare better than you’re imagining you will. There’ll likely be a restructure at work once you get back to it, so take this time to think about where you’d want to be placed when things shift. This way, you can use any changes to your advantage. You’re probably not a fan of change, but if it’s coming in, you may as well team up with it.
GEMINI You guys, being like the internet personified, are bound to be the info gatherer & communicator of the latest concepts & ideas surrounding us all. You can help those around you achieve some sense of order out of the chaos! You’re always swift fixers, so your skills will be sought after this Month. Never one to sit still, I’m sure you’ll be sorting, sifting & reorganising your environment in between making & taking calls. If you’re restless, you can channel your energy into updating all of your on line “stuff” too. You’re likely to be the go to person for friends & family right now & actually, you probably won’t mind. Your logical, analytical & practical side will shine through! Not one to dwell long in doom & gloom scenarios, you can make a great & positive difference to others perspectives & outlooks simply through talking to people & getting them to see a more positive Big Picture view.
CANCER As long as you stay OUT of your head, thinking about worst case scenarios & not having enough? You guys are some of the best people to have around right now! You excel at nurturing family & friends, I imagine if you’ve kept your balance, you’re in your element. Cookers of chicken soup & other delicacies for the Soul, you’ve usually got a pantry full of yummy food & good emotional advice for anyone crossing your path. You can create an amazing “circle of care”, but you need to make sure there’s an equal give & take, so let others do for you too! Revelations with regard to your home are lit up around the 8th & you’ve got the opportunity to clear up any niggles within your family. Hopefully that’ll be a positive thing & allow for some restructuring & new foundations in the last week or so of the Month. You’ll likely find a new role within your social circle & one you’ll feel comfortable & happy with. Practice your boundary keeping & you’ll come out on top.
LEO These are strange times we’re living in for sure, despite this though, your Ruling Planet, the Sun, is well supported in fellow Fire Sign, Aries. Your generous, sunny nature is a strength in all this! You’ll be able to find some sweet spots throughout April & you can lift loved ones spirits without too much effort. Though likely to be on line or on the phone, you can reconnect with social groups & friends. We may be somewhat cooped up, but our minds don’t need to be. Mercury, our Planet of communications, lightens up over the next Month or so & you’ll be able to find higher perspectives & shifts in your belief systems as we go. Use these for improving yourself & conditions for others. Though work is “different” now, you may stumble across advantageous adjustments to what you do & it’s actually a good time to form new partnerships & collaborations. So stay on your toes & keep those peepers open, Leo! There ARE gains to be had, even in challenging times.
VIRGO Usually the sensible & practical ones of the Zodiac, your talents will be called for around now, for sure! But you’ll need to stay OUT of “Worry World” & keep your inquisitive, problem solving mind busy, busy with something tangible & constructive. Virgos often make great nurses, either by occupation or as an unofficial side hustle, so looking after yourself, exploring innovative & alternative ways to build up health & immunity are probably at the fore. Pass on your knowledge to others, because they can probably use it! Money Planet, Venus, is in your work sector, so as everyone is shifting & changing, Venus can offer great benefit. If you look into all those talents & skills you have, but have kept on the back burner, or taken for granted? They can actually serve you now! The New Moon, aka The Time To Sew New Seeds is in your House of higher education, teaching & learning… ponder how you can take a few new steps… UP… in any of these areas.
LIBRA Yes, this may be a strange day to day life we’re all leading at the moment, but you get your Full Moon of the Year on the 8th of the Month & it’s highlighting relationships. So much is going on, but partnerships both of a work & romantic nature… & usually your sphere of interest anyway, will be up for realisations, assessments & adjustments. If things have been a little sticky, it’ll be a good time for a clearing of the air & setting a few things straight. Keep in mind that many are stressed & tense, just handle things accordingly. You’re great at diplomacy & creating harmony though & even if it’s not your own personal “stuff” on the table, you might find yourself as an in house relationship counsellor for others, Libra. Aside from this, your House of creativity is pumped up in a very good way! Make sure you’re putting some time into projects of this nature. It’ll help keep you calm, entertained & let off some steam.
SCORPIO The Sun is in your work & health sectors, so much emphasis is placed on such things. It’s an advantage to see clearly, which the Sun helps us do & as the Month progresses, any foggy thinking or lack of clarity in these areas should start to come good. Around the 8th, a light bulb or two may go off re ways that you’ve “trapped” yourself into certain obligations & situations with others, be they friends, family or romantic partners & perhaps some liberation is in order? In all this crazy, toward the end of the Month, you have much support if you want to let go of a few shackles & live a life more authentic to who you are & what you want. Challenging times can be some of the best for reshaping ourselves. Use the realisations from earlier to propel you forward into a better place. New work alliances may appear too, so put some feelers out & start to network. It seems quite timely & certainly can’t hurt!
SAGITTARIUS Not great at restrictive circumstances, even at the best of times, but at least your mind has time to roam free! The Sun in fellow Fire Sign, Aries, is lighting up your House of kids & creativity though, so you’re bound to find some fresh, cool ways to pass your days. Around the 8th, friendships are highlighted, so think about some quirky theme or way of catching up with a few & Venus, Planet of love & money is well supported in your partnership sector. Both work & romance can be revamped in a fortuitous way, but your proviso will be to balance that out with a good look at finances. We’re all unsteady around that now, but we can use the energy constructively if we streamline our budgets & cut out some fat. By the 23rd, energy is pouring into your day to day routines & structures, so ideas around improvement there too is LIT!
CAPRICORN Fortunately for you, your home & family sector is naturally supported right now, so any of these restrictions can be used to your advantage! If you were at work, you’d probably want to be at home anyway. You can use the energy to innovate & revamp work & think of ways to set yourself up to work for yourself or work from home more comfortably. In a way, the internal battles you’ve been put through have now “erupted” & are taking place externally, on the World Stage, no less. When viewed from this perspective, you can see what you’ve endured & survived & just how others are & aren’t dealing or coping! You’re encouraged to shift up your day to day routines & really lay down a firm foundation, so you’re well placed when these brakes come off. I know you’ll be doing exactly what’s required of you right now, but DO use this “down time” to relax & enjoy some quiet time reflecting on just how far you’ve come, Capricorn.
AQUARIUS As I was saying just last Month, you’ll have been keeping your eye on Global events & pondering Humanity, so you’re probably way ahead of the curse (so, what else is new, eh?!) re everything that’s taking place around us right now. Your enquiring mind will be busy, busy, BUSY & unlike many, you’ll be able to rise above, so to speak & see a bigger picture & a more innovative way to deal with things. Toward the end of the Month, Mercury, our Planet of ideas & communication, will shift out of soggy Water Sign, Pisces & that’s good news for you. Times are foggy, but at least you’ll be clear as a bell ongoing! If you can think of ways to pass on your insights & all the information you’ll have gleaned that not only benefits you, but the collective in general, share them. The Full Moon in fellow Air Sign, Libra, on the 8th, can bring in the facts & figures you’ve been looking for. Higher frequencies, perceptions & solutions abound, as do Conspiracy Theories. Enjoy!
PISCES Venus, Planet of value & love, is firmly placed in your home sector, so as many are struggling with confinement, you’ll probably be quite happy with it! Mercury, our Planet of ideas & communication, has been in Pisces for WAAAY too long… since the start of February, in fact. So you’ll have had a lot going on, even if just in your head. Now, there’ll be a bit more “space”, both internally & externally & though many of your friends & family may want to lean a bit too hard on your sympathetic shoulder, ensure you’re getting some alone time to recoup & regenerate. You have the Full Moon on the 8th in your sector of secrets, so odds on you’ll be hearing a few & if you have any yourself? Take care none accidentally escape around then! Toward the end of April, you’ve got a fresh start re anything self-improvement orientated… what do you want your new self to be, once let out into the World again?
