Your Milky Way Horoscope April 19-25

Happy Birthday to all those of the Taurus persuasion. Famous Taureans include dancers Fred Astaire, ballerina Margot Fonteyn, singer Barbra Streisand, child star Shirley Temple, and countless other singers, dancers, composers, and musicians.
Venus and Mars have a date in Pisces on Tuesday night before dashing into Aries. Presumably they will drink too much wine and not remember what happened.
Venus enters Aries on Friday at 3:18 am Eastern for a six week visit. Fire signs can all benefit from trying a new look, visiting the salon for a new hairstyle, adding something red to the wardrobe, and in general putting your face in front of anyone you are interested in. You were voted most likely to put in a full day of errands and projects before sitting down with the cake and ice cream.
Mars precedes Venus into Aries, entering on Wednesday at 9:44 am Eastern for a five week visit. So the fire signs will get a double dose of celestial energy, and don’t be surprised if all the Arians, Leos and Sags you know are bouncing around like basketballs and chattering about some new ’someone’ they met. Mars also can be difficult to express in a healthy way, so impatience, small accidents, blurting out inconvenient truths, and arguments can be frequent during this time.

Your Milky Way Horoscope April 12-18

Thursday the 16th is a red-letter day with a grand trine of Moon in Capricorn, Mercury in Taurus, and Saturn in Virgo. Good day for scientific seminars or giving oral dissertations; anything involving communication, science, discipline, organization, economics and the public. Watch the news that day for any science announcements from government agencies or related fields. Earth sign trines favor building something concrete. The Mercury-Saturn trine is exact on Friday so see if there is any followup that evening. And anyone with natal planets at 13-15 degrees of the earth signs will probably be affected.

Mars is conjunct Uranus in Pisces on Wednesday morn, the 15th. Drive defensively on your morning commute, and be careful of all potential accidents, including putting your foot in your mouth.

Chiron approaches a conjunction to Neptune in altruistic Aquarius; non-profits and food banks are being stretched past their limits, and as you know because the Madoff scheme burst, some have been forced to close. Please donate whatever small amount you can to your local food bank, shelter, and other support structures because I fear a crunch is coming and more will shut down.

Third Week in April, 2008

The Mercury/Sun pair moves into Taurus later this week; Happy Birthday, Taurus, and I am sure that you will get more cards and phone calls than usual this year. Write out your plans for the year Friday, because you can totally rebuild your life just as if your were building a house. Your strength is in what you produce yourself. PS to all – Venus squares Mars end of the month; sexual tension or attraction builds so check who registers on your romance-meter. PPS ALERT: Wed. am. Count your change, because the gremlins can lose track of your money.

First Week of April Weekly Horoscope

Early Wednesday brings more intense or colorful dreams for many. It may or may not be a meaningful dream, but if you experiment with incubating dreams, what comes may be surprisingly healing (either physically or emotionally). Go to dreams.ca for instructions on how to incubate a dream.
