The Sun has moved into the energy of Aries and we feel the impulse to grow.  Over the last couple of months, we have been looking at our resources, re-evaluating our desires and setting our ideals.  Now is the time to act!  When we act and react this month, the mantra of practicing right action will help to keep our focus on a higher path.  We live in an interactive Universe, if we want to see growth we have to stretch ourselves.  By applying the laws of right-action many find it is easier to have and live in faith.
  

• Look up in the night sky, the highest planet is Saturn.

• Look up in the morning sky, the highest planet is Jupiter

• Just after sunset if you look towards the western horizon you will see Venus

• From the 10th thru the 12^th you can see Venus visit the seven sisters of the Pleiades

• On the 28^th if you have a telescope you will be able to see Mars stop by his grandfather, Uranus for a short visit. Picture the north node there with them.

Note Worthy: Uranus is conjunct the North Node at the mid point of Pisces. Pisces is the sea of dreams we live within, Uranus the electrical spark that brings something to life and the North Node can bring us insight and the courage to follow our life’s path.
 

Mars moves into Pisces on the 4^th of April. When Mars swims in the Piscean sea two possible events can happen.  First, you might drift off into dreamland however; you’ll awake in mid-May and find yourself adrift.  Or you might use the energy of Mars to direct your thoughts out into the collective dreamtime or the morphogenetic field.  Feel the energy of the flow and boldly step into it.  Take this opportunity and tune into your internal guidance by mid-May.  You will see new dimensions in your ability to process information .

Later in the day, Mercury will move into Aries.  This will assist us in taking active control over our thoughts.  Quick decisions and snap-judgments are the down side of this placement.  The upside is uncanny perception.  This energy applied to Mars in Pisces is an like an open window to our bodies signal system.  Who’s running the show, you or your emotions?  You will feel the balance when thought and right action align in astounding synchronicity.

Venus is in Gemini and is like a butterfly; we flit, we flirt, we stretch our minds, and we may be able to multi-task, well just a little.  How fortunate we are to have this placement while we move through our transit with Mercury and Mars.  It is flexible thought that helps us move past those old tired ruts.  If you have been meaning to practice your networking skills, brush up your elevator speech and catch the wave.

The Sun moves into Taurus which is the note of stability we needed to incorporate this energy into our lives in a lasting manner.  It represents Terra Firma or solid ground.  If you have been keeping up and doing your inner work, the process is unfolding within.  Our attention now turns to matters of stabilizing into our new  paradigm, incorporating  awareness and future growth.  Re-evaluate your ideal and build your dream.

Mercury is in Taurus April 27^th .   Our awareness now becomes more deliberate.  Where do we want to focus?  Where do we want to go?  Stay tuned in and sense the energy as it flows.  The path with the highest energy will have a special feel perhaps even a glow.  This  glow is perceivable to many people.  If you don’t yet see it, have patience because the more you follow the flow, the more you will see.
    

Jupiter stations retrograde on April 5^th  As Jupiter runs back through Sagittarius we get to review one more time where we stand on many of the religious and philosophical issues of our time.  Jupiter will remain in apparent retrograde until August 5^th,  2007

Saturn stations direct April 19^th  Be sure to get as caught up on your work as is possible.

When Saturn stations the work will pile up.  We have the ability to play with the energy of Saturn at this time.  If you want to build or create don’t miss this opportunity.  Come September when Saturn moves into Virgo we will be driven to focus more attention to the details than the creative process.

Sorting out mixed messages is a theme this Full Moon Saturn square Venus.  We tend to  under value ourselves now.  Contrast this with Mars conjunct Neptune ’s “I can do anything” message.  If you think there is any chance you are over-committing now is the time to practice saying NO.  It might be a new experience but it is well worth the effort.  If you do commit make sure you are fairly compensated even if your desired currency is appreciation.  If you are not being treated fairly you may want to re-evaluate your relationship.
 

New Moon – April 17^th, 6:35 AM CDT 27° 05" Aries

This is the Warriors Moon so honor the warrior within.  How is your energy running?  If you need more courage now is the time to dedicate yourself to that.  If you desire more independence more energy is available for the endeavors of personal growth.  The current aspects nudge us towards making internal corrections that may be holding us back.  This can be a bold and focused energy if we harness it properly.  Resolve your inner conflicts and move into a bigger world.
