April 24 ~ May 8   “There are pine trees that grow in poor soil on the mountainside, where there is very little nutrition for a seed to sprout and grow. But because of that difficulty, the pine tree has to change to go deep into the soil and become very strong, so the wind can’t blow it down. If the pine tree encounters only easy conditions along the way, its roots may not go as deeply and firmly into the earth, and when the strong winds come, it may be blown over. Sometimes obstacles and difficulties can help us succeed” (Thich Nhat Hanh). This passage reminds me of you Cappy. You are not afraid of obstacles, and because of this, you know how to succeed. During this recent eclipse season, because it involves cardinal signs like yourself, you may have been emotionally stretched and tested to see how well your Soul would respond. Within it all, Mercury reversed directions on April 1st in cardinal sign Aries, but is stationing direct on Thursday, April 25. This alone will be worth celebrating. The Total Solar Eclipse in Aries on April 8 occurred in your house of home and the emotional body, which inevitably is going to force you into vulnerable waters so you can evolve. Fortunately, action Mars has been in compatible water sign Pisces all month to support your highest and your best under the circumstances, and it has allowed you to move a few mountains. Loving Venus enters fellow earth sign Taurus on Monday, April 29, but she immediately squares Pluto to close April and cross the threshold into May, which can be a warning in terms of watching who you trust with your finances and resources. It may also be that you are investing in something that is taking a great deal of your earnings to float it, but your vision is great for where it will lead. If an opportunity is presented to you, do not just take someone’s word for it, get it in writing. Mars enters Aries on Tuesday, April 30, and will emotionally empower you with his supportive link to Pluto in Aquarius as we pull into May, and when you are feeling strong within, it allows everything else to fall into place. A New Moon in fellow earth sign Taurus puts a giant bow on this entire two-week trend and will feel like a reward given all you have energetically invested into something, in mind, body and Spirit. Your ruler Saturn in Pisces also could not be better positioned to the lunar event to have you expressing yourself at your best. If you are in negotiations for any reason or needing to pitch a creative project, you’ve got this thing in the bag. Soon you will be feeling locked in to a passion project that has been a long time coming.

Party hats on the way!
