Love Sparks or Singes04/20/2009 - 04/26/2009There is nothing lukewarm about this week! First, Mars enters its own sign on April 22 when your energy level will go way up. Then Venus joins Mars in Aries on the 24th, and it's time for bold declarations. A new Moon in Taurus on April 24 urges you to pay attention to maintaining stability in your material life. Finally, April 26 brings an intense Mars/Pluto square urging you to figure out what's worth fighting for and what you need to let be.
April 22: Mars enters AriesAs Mars leaves soul-searching Pisces and enters the fiery sign it rules, you may feel like a ram that has been let loose on land after swimming around in the ocean for a while! Shake that water off! You have an abundance of energy now that needs something to pour all of that energy into. Otherwise, you may find yourself getting argumentative for no good reason. Although Aries is the sign of the pioneer, both Mars and Aries are, in mythology, the names for the god of war. If you stay focused on yourself and what you want to achieve, you'll go far.
April 24: Venus enters AriesNow direct, the planet of love enters Aries for the second time this year. When Venus entered this enthusiastic sign on February 2, it was time for bold moves. Venus turned retrograde in Aries on March 6 and returned to Pisces on April 11, finally turning direct on April 17. Your love-life has seen plenty of twists and turns over these last couple of months. Now it's time to start again in the first sign of the zodiac. This is not a stay-at-home placement. If you are single, plan activities where you can meet someone who loves to do what you do. Married? Bring your partner flowers, train for the marathon together or sign up for a dance class. It is the doing that sparks love -- so get moving!
April 24: New Moon in TaurusThe new Moon in Taurus emphasizes the themes you've already been focused on since the Sun entered Taurus a few days ago. This is the sign that rules money and values, and your material life in general. You are especially grounded and clear now, which gives you the ability to plan sensibly. Pluto's trine to this new Moon shows that people in powerful positions can be helpful to you.
