April will be a very fiery and intense month to contend with because of the fierce eclipse we just had and the intense solar flares we’ve been having. Remember to take a deep breath before you react and think before you take action because everything will be overtly intense around you. Try to be the best version of yourself. Currently, Mars and Neptune are in a square aspect, creating tension that caused all the earthquakes in Southeast Asia and other places on the planet. Right now, Mars is in Cancer until the 18th of April, which makes people irritable and moody to each other. As long as you put love and protection for family and home, you’re putting it in the right place. After April 12, all the planets will be going direct until May 18. So, it’s a great time to move on to new projects and do new things, and then Pluto will be in retrograde after May 18, which is symbolic of the ending of old things in life. And as both Mercury and Venus go direct, everything will become clearer to think, feel, and want. We will be seeing all the deception that’s happening in our world more clearly. This will also be a time of new opportunities and new ideas to come your way, and new downloads within us to create new ideas. You may even feel the sparks come out within you to take chances with all this innovation; you will be feeling as if there’s some magic around you as it’s happening. So don’t be afraid; just do your magic. This is all happening because Venus will be conjunct with Saturn and will also make you feel more spiritual. Also, Venus will be conjunct Neptune with Mars sextile Pisces, which will be a great time in humanity concerning unconditional love.

Of course, remember full moons are all about closure and or completion. Also, it’s a very good time to get rid of anything that no longer serves you, and will feel as if you’re purging. Especially at this time in history. Libra will be conjunct Pisces and will be going stationary to direct. This time the 12/13 of April will feel very special to you, if not ethereal. This is a great time for any type of creativity, especially in the arts. And people should feel very generous with each other at this time. But always remember to be good to yourself first and step into your power and self-respect first and foremost, and then you’ll even feel happier sharing and giving to others. Last but not least. Both the 17th and 28th of April will be very intense days to observe this month.
