Horoscope for the Week beginning April 8
By Michael O’Connor
Tip of the week
In this Universal 9 Year, April is destined to produce a significant deepening of the plot on both individual and collective levels. ‘The plot’ is relative as there are ever many levels and angles to life, but if you take a moment to reflect on your own life this should become increasingly evident. As is the case with such themes, this deepening will prove measurable and dramatic in some regards, especially on larger collective fronts.
The New Moon in Aries occurred on April 7 at 4:24 a.m. PDT and its position in the Tropical Zodiac is 18 Aries 04. Of particular importance is the fact that the Sun/Moon conjunction (= New Moon) is also conjunct Uranus – a triple conjunction! This adds a very significant factor. So, while eclipses are generally considered more potent than usual, a planet conjunct the New Moon, especially a far planet, (Uranus, Neptune, Pluto) puts the New Moon in a special category all its own. With Uranus we can expect sudden and unexpected changes, especially if this New Moon makes close aspects to personal planets or angles in your Natal Chart. Further, Pluto is also square this triple conjunction New Moon. Fasten your seat belts, this month is going to be epic.

April 8 – 14
Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20)
A marked sense of individuality and independence is becoming more apparent with each new day. You have taken a major turn a little while back and now you are on a new road. Your energy levels are running pretty high, yet at least one of your fuel cells is empty and you can feel it. There is no turning back to repair or refuel so persevere faithfully.
Taurus (Apr 20 – May 21)
It may feel as though while you are busily living your life, your life is busily living you. Both outer circumstances beyond your control and inner compulsions are driving you, as if against your will, but not entirely. When you think about it carefully, it all makes sense – the choices you have made, some clearly successful and some perhaps not so. It is time for self-reflection and re-invention.
Gemini (May 21 – June 21)
Many new and perhaps original thoughts and perceptions are running through your mind. It is as if you are gaining a lucid glimpse into the future. Of course, even probabilities are not certainties. If all that changes is your attitude and interpretation regarding existing circumstances and future events, your world will change and it will. Almost paradoxically, you feel confident all the while.
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
Things are shifting and shaking in your public sphere and others are taking notice. Yet you may be too busy to really notice. Circumstances are pushing you to drive harder and to learn all you can as you go. In some respects you may feel like a newbie, learning things that have always been right there but did not seem so important. That was then.
Leo (July 22 – Aug 23)
A sporting and ambitious mood continues. You feel strong and risky. This is not to say your mood is cavalier. Calculating might be a better word to describe your focus now. Regardless of your financial circumstances, you are determined to make sensible decisions, investments that will bring returns. Yet once your business is done you will be enthusiastic for some fun and frolic.
Virgo (Aug 23 – Sep 22)
You have entered a rather deep cycle of change. The good news is that it stands to be quite positive. It may be that years of effort are suddenly paying off. Still, you have work to do. Circumstances are pushing you to dig deeper than you have for a while. This includes squarely facing certain fears. The key to doing so is to take firm hold of your talents.
Libra (Sep 22 – Oct 22)
Some very real changes are underway on relationship fronts. Whether literally or figuratively, you are preparing to make some big moves. These may still be in the early planning stages but your intentions are clear and definite. Feeling as confident as you would like, however, might be a challenge. Slow down and take things one day at a time.
Scorpio (Oct 22 – Nov 21)
Changes in your lifestyle are activating your ambitions. Or is it the other way around? Either way, there is excitement in the air. Although you have to pay your dues somehow, it may feel as though you are being guided by something greater than yourself. It includes rendering some form of service for the sake of the greater good. Trust this flow and answer the call.
Sagittarius (Nov 21 – Dec 21)
With each new day, a vision of your future grows. Inspired by it all, you feel more courageous and determined than ever. In the widest sense, you are steadily undergoing some kind of metamorphosis. Prior fears and insecurities that not so long ago seemed so real are rapidly melting away. Though there is something almost mystical about it all, you are wise to stay grounded and realistic.
Capricorn (Dec 21 – Jan 19)
A new dynamic has begun close to home. As if suddenly, things are not as they were a short while ago. As the old steadily fades like a receding shore, your sights are set on what lies ahead. This includes the task of paying attention to the details. Fortunately, your powers of concentration are running strong and you feel supported by creative ideas and plans.
Aquarius (Jan 19 – Feb 19)
A revolutionary shift in your perceptions has been activated and your curiosity levels are peaking. In some respects, this has been underway for several years. Yet, suddenly you are in another turn. At worst you feel a little confused and overwhelmed. Ideally you feel energized, determined, and even rebellious. The time has come for a brave new world.
Pisces (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
Your ambitions are on a steady rise. This includes expanding your social horizons. Entertaining new possibilities and playing with ideas feels right. The time has come to take some key initiatives. This includes both getting and sharing new knowledge. You may feel the need for some downtime this weekend, but you enthusiasm levels will rise noticeably as the week progresses.
