April, 2017 Monthly Astrology Guide

April 2017, Aries 21 March – 20 April…

The beginning of the Zodiac in the birthday month will have you showing off your brilliance.  Your focus will be on you as the Sun is in the 1st house of self “I am”.  This is a time when you will receive support to pursue your personal goals and give you the fire to work hard.  This is not a time for new projects or ones that involve groups.  This is a once a year boost to get yourself motivated.  Your Sun will have a few intense aspects this month with three angles from Jupiter, Uranus and Pluto that can be stressful.  These energies could have you struggling with working on your own agenda for the many demands that others will want to put on you.  Remember we all get a time of year to concentrate on ourselves, its only once a year so make it count.  There will be plenty of time to focus on other people and you will be able to do it better once you are fulfilled. Because most of the Planets will be retrograde this month, April can prove to be one of the most complex month of this year.  Slowing down to look at the big picture before moving forward is a wise decision for you Aries.  Venus moves back into your sign on April 2nd forcing you to look at personal relationships that may have you wanting to retreat or create your own space.  The Libra Full Moon on April 11th will shine a light on partnerships issues.  Let it ride, now is not the time for conflict you may discover many things about yourself by staying quiet. In any case this is the month to relax, redirect yourself and take care of the things that make you happy so you can be refreshed to deal with the rest of the year and the demands that you feel are on your shoulders.  Watch for over spending or careless errors around the 20th as Mercury retrograde will begin in Taurus.  Tempers may flare and you will have trouble seeing eye to eye with other people’s points of view.  As the Sun ingresses into Taurus you will begin to feel more grounded.  Pluto will add some encouragement as it begins its journey backwards on the 20th as well.   Look forward to the New Moon on the 26th in your second house of finance and self-worth and set your goals high.

This could have you feeling confused, fatigued or unclear, just remember it’s Mercury retrograde in your twelfth house of spirituality. Give your mind a break from all the thinking and focus on processing the emotions that are flowing; you have been avoiding them for a while.  The New Moon on April 26th will be a time to meditate on clearing the slate so you can start fresh next month when you can reset and refresh.
