April 9 ~ April 23
Life has required you to be courageous. With a grouping of planets in Pisces in your house of metamorphoses, on some level, it has required you to live in a state of total surrender. Remember: “The butterfly is only beautiful because the caterpillar is brave” (Richard Bach). No Soul can ask for growth while clinging to comfort. It’s been a deep dive of evolution. Action Mars has also been swimming through the feeling sign of Cancer in your house of the unknown, stirring up all kinds of sediment from the bottom of your emotional sea. But you can feel your Soul deepening in the process with Mars forming a seamless trine to Mercury, Venus, Saturn and the North Node in Pisces, which can open up another feeling Universe. Mercury is now moving direct again in Pisces as of Monday, April 7, and will enter fellow fire sign Aries just before midnight in the west on Thursday, April 15, giving voice to your emotionally acquired new depths. Loving Venus is retrograde in Pisces and will be stationing direct on the same day as a Super Full Moon in Libra on Saturday, April 12, which may have you suddenly needing a verbal channel for release of all that you have been feeling but not speaking. One sensitive tripwire could have the whole thing pouring out. You have been learning that “Deep love is not easy because it contains so much. It is full of disagreements, howling laughter, hard conversation, genuine care, plenty of tears, undeniable joy, and the feeling of being truly seen. You don’t get the good without the tough stuff that helps you both grow” (Yung Pueblo). With Mars in such an elevated alignment with the Pisces stellium, it has not only kept your head above water, it has encouraged you to push your limits as you wait for the bigger wave. Uranus in Taurus is also the linchpin in the whole deal and could become the unexpected energetic component that has something turning out far better than you expect. Action Mars will be re-entering your sign, Leo, late in the west on April 17, and just as soon as it does, it will receive a harmonizing trine from Mercury in fellow fire sign Aries, energizing a strong instinct coupled with some convincing communication skills. A growing feeling of confidence will soon have you taking more risks to raise the bar on your life. Until then, it’s prep time. “Most people are never fully present in the now, because unconsciously they believe that the next moment must be more important than this one…but then you miss your whole life, which is never not now” (Eckhart Tolle). Soak in deep waters until it’s time for your colorful path to be rekindled in full.
It’s butterfly time!
