Horoscope for the week beginning April 26
By Michael O’Connor
Tip of the week
The Lunar Eclipse Full Moon in Scorpio is shining a bright light of change and activation for us all. Scorpio is a water sign and the Full Moon in this element synchronizes with endings and deep emotional change. This is especially true due to the symbolism of Scorpio, the sign of death and rebirth, change, transformation, regeneration, purification, psychology, investigation, research, shared resources, sexual drive, inheritances, banks, taxes, insurance and all things deep, hidden, mysterious and esoteric.
This is the first of three eclipses in a row making this an ‘eclipse season’. The exact degree of this eclipse is 5 Scorpio 46. The next one is the Solar Eclipse on May 9 at 19 Taurus 31 and finally another Full Moon Lunar Eclipse on May 24 at 4 Sagittarius 08. The close proximity by degree of the Lunar Eclipses first in Water then in Fire Signs adds to the complexity of changes that they will bring about. While traditionally eclipses were considered ill omens this is not at all necessarily true. It all depends on how they influence one’s Natal Chart and above all how they are interpreted, handled and integrated. Since eclipses bring a measurably added charge to the usual New and Full Moon, they are best regarded as influences of change to be accepted and consciously managed verses resisted. Deciphering the deeper and wider implications of their effects is where taking a close look at one’s Birth Chart and the practice of Astrology comes to the fore.
Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20)
Your ambitions remain strong and your focus is sharp. Change is the law and everyone is feelings its added push these days. This has been especially true for you for the past six to eight months. Now that the momentum has been initiated, it is a matter of steady perseverance. The time has come to establish new foundations. The planning stage is important.
Taurus (Apr 20 – May 21)
A period of steady advancement has begun. You should feel a good deal of traction. This trend will continue for the next few weeks anyway. Be willing to try new approaches. There may be a variety of fronts to consider. It is important that you be extra cooperative. Your ambitions may be high yet cooperative actions are keys to your success.
Gemini (May 21 – June 21)
Working steadily behind the scenes continues. This may include rest to recharge. Yet, you can also be productive. Making pointed changes in your daily routine is a good example of productive change. Is your lifestyle as healthy as it could be? Do you have any bad habits you can disrupt and break free from? Prepare the ground for new growth.
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
This is a time of completion and fruition. You are at a peak in a cycle that favours creative inventiveness. This inspirational burst of energy could also manifest as a budding new love interest. While romantic interests are implied, it could also be the beginnings of a wonderful new friendship.
Leo (July 22 – Aug 23)
A good deal of activity in your public and professional life is causing a stir close to home and perhaps vice versa. Now is a good time to make some strategic moves for advancement. Meanwhile old friends and loves and possibly foes from the past may re-enter your life. These changes will be felt at core levels.
Virgo (Aug 23 – Sep 22)
Your sights are set on a bigger picture. A visionary fervor has taken hold and is leading you into new territory. One way or another you feel determined to build anew. Reaching out to others and networking is featured. Altogether, new initiatives and/or initiations are likely. Some of these could come on the heels of other things ending.
Libra (Sep 22 – Oct 22)
Financial interests and considerations are keeping you busy now. Investments, inheritances, taxes and the like are more than on your mind. You may feel inspired to diversify as well. Whether it is venture capitalism or simply the desire to be free and financially stable enough to travel, it may be time to do the math.
Scorpio (Oct 22 – Nov 21)
A shift from work to pleasure should be evident now. You have likely taken some initiatives, perhaps especially in your overall lifestyle. Expect this trend to continue. Somehow you feel done with old modes of living and self-expression. Whether by choice or circumstance, the time has come for new ways of doing and being.
Sagittarius (Nov 21 – Dec 21)
Spring is a time for cleaning and sometimes the need goes deeper than the home and garden. These may merit your attention as well, yet the call to clean, clear and cleanse could include your body, mind and/or emotions as well. Your willingness to make extra efforts to this end could have very positive results, but neglect could prove just the opposite
Capricorn (Dec 21 – Jan 19)
A good deal of activity close to home has been keeping you busy. If you did take the initiative to engage in creative projects, you should feel extra inspired now. Real estate deals and/or home renovations are strong possibilities. Family concerns and interests are implied. Expect the fruit of past actions to ripen now.
Aquarius (Jan 19 – Feb 19)
You have begun to set your sights on new horizons. This has activated key communications and organizational activity. Your study focus and search for new knowledge and practical information has been a key theme. You feel a sense of destiny and yearn for change and progress publically and professionally.
Pisces (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
Shifts and changes in your income and financial set-up have begun. You are challenged to adjust to meet the changing conditions. Expect this trend to continue. Increasing your sense of security will motivate you. Generating new streams of income is likely. Desires for greater fulfillment in your relationships are core motivations.
