So… we’ve got the wind at our backs, we’re holding onto our hats, here’s the week ahead beginning Sunday, April 17th, 2011…
. . . . .
Well, as usual, we’re looking at some very powerful shifts and changing energies coming up this week. Among other things,
Mars faces off with Saturn – and these two planets are still part of that Grand Cardinal Cross or Climax we all grew to love from last summer. This one could bring up some tempers…
Communicator Mercury will (finally it seems!) turn direct this week in Aries,
the life-giving Sun moves into lush Taurus,
Venus gets feisty in Aries, and…
On Sunday, April 17th, we have the third Super Moon in a row – and this time it’s a Super Full Moon in Libra – which happens at the same time fiery Mars and the still retrograde Mercury will be conjunct, and together facing off with Saturn – AND squaring off with Pluto. So, while a Libra Full Moon is usually a time of finding balance in partnerships and marriage – we may see a few more challenges or conflicts with this one. And the energy of this one, of course, will be with us for the next couple of weeks.
Then Monday, April 18th, the energy of the Mars/Saturn opposition is at our doorsteps. We’ll be feeling this one for about a week before and after this date though, and it can bring success through hard work – and/or, in the alternative, it can bring us immovable objects we feel we absolutely MUST push against. And if we insist on ramming that object without thinking, we’ll lose….and the object will win. It will be essential for these two or three weeks, and especially today, to use boundaries and limitations – and hard work to recognize and get where we want to go.
Then on Tuesday, April 19th, Mercury will be conjunct Mars. There are a lot of possibilities with this one! We can experience this one as our minds and thoughts being on fire and our plans ignited…. but it can also bring in the energy of arguments – and even accidents, especially with vehicles – so we should be careful there! However, good use of this combination would be to get ready to hit the ground running after Mercury turns direct on April 23rd.
And on Wednesday, April 20th, the radiant Sun enters lush Taurus through May 20th and we can begin to sense an unfolding energy, tranquility, and a groundedness in our lives. This energy can bring some needed blossoming to our plans – but with all the other challenging aspects around us, we’ll want to be sure that Taurus’ grounded determination and willpower doesn’t turn into stubbornness. We may also be less open to change over this month, but the Taurus Sun can bring some needed earthiness into our lives. The finer things in life, even fresh flowers, will assist in opening our hearts now – and even planting in the garden or a pot will bring this thriving energy to us.
And the Taurus Sun also makes a delicious sextile aspect of opportunity with mystical Neptune today. Inspired creativity and an active connection to our Higher Selves will come easy now. Being in nature, even just sitting under a tree, can open doors of abundance to us.
Also on Wednesday April 20th, Venus moves into fiery Aries where she’ll remain through May 15th. Venus sizzles in Aries, and we’ll have energy to burn in all things Venus – and that’s money, beauty and love, passion, music, and creativity of all kinds – all of these things will be on fire for us. Physical activity, and direct, spontaneous action will move us toward our goals, especially in finances and love.
And on Friday, April 4th, Venus will make an unsettling – or exciting – connection with surprising Uranus. At the very least, we’ll ready to try something new! And since Venus is involved, our finances could also be involved, so we may want to take care not to fall in love with that must-have, bright and shiny object if it’s going to drain our budgets!
Then the day a lot of us have been waiting for, Saturday, April 23rd, Mercury finally goes direct – and finally opening the door for our new projects. However, our plans may feel a little stalled because, remember, Mercury is turning direct opposite Saturn. But we can still expect our communications and plans to get going quickly in fast, decisive ways in just a few days.

Now… this week, I want to talk about this Super Full Moon in Libra, and how eac sign may experience it… And as always, this will apply to your Sun sign and Ascendant/Rising sign if you know it…
Aries
Since Full Moons bring closures and endings, you may find that some relationships either end – or that some parts of them end – so that something can become new in your life. It will be important for you to find balance between your needs and the needs of “important others” in your life.
Taurus
Your work, daily routine and health are ready for balancing. Taking care of business literally can smooth the way to new starts for you. Some conclusion can finally occur in your work that brings a renewal. And be sure to take care of your health and fitness needs now. That will pay big dividends for you!
Gemini
Get ready for some fun and love. Allow yourself to express your creativity in whatever way brings you joy. Also, you may find a love affair ending or you may finally release any old lingering longings to make way for new love in your life.
Cancer
Your home, family and private life may be the focus for you during this cycle. Spending time nesting is encouraged right now. And taking care of your home, inner and outer, will reap rewards in a very short time for you.
Leo
This is a time of communication for you. Expect an increase in calls, emails, and messages. It’s also a time for you to say ‘yes!’ And do write it all down! Also, movement of all kinds will also benefit you and your abundance!

Scorpio
Pay attention to your dreams and allow your inner voice to speak now! Take some time to step back and recharge. You may feel a need for some alone time and this would be a perfect time for you to go within and rest. Some secrets may also be revealed unexpectedly.
Sagittarius
Friends and associations will be a big benefit for you. Network, get out and about and meet new people. Some friendships or associations may phase out to make room for new ones. It’s also a great time to take a look at and rethink your hopes and dreams now.

You may find renewal in your career and profession now. Be ready to accept change and new success in your career. You may also find you need to balance your home and work life now for the greatest success, but the benefits are there for you.
