Weekly Astrology 4/6-4/12
Week Ahead Astrology
The tide is changing this week. We have had time to review, reflect, plan and dream. We have been learning to get clear on what we want and need. We have identified the changes we need to make. The Universe has been pointing out what doors should remain open and which should close for good. And now, as Mars, the planet of action changes into the sign of Aries, its time for inspired, Soul-guided action.
Mars is raw energy and in Aries energy takes shape. What are you manifesting? What are you creating? Thoughts are energy and so are emotions. What is the state of your energy? What are your thoughts focused on? What are your emotions and feelings focused on? Its time to take the reins. Time to focus mindfully on what you want and not on what you no longer want. Focus on where you are headed not on where you have been. It’s time to change focus and in changing focus embark in a new direction.
While Mars is in Aries, a spark is initiated and the fire within is lit. Mars is force. A force from within awakes. The sun rises where there has been darkness, confusion and loss. The Universe is lighting a fire within you. Let the Light illuminate the path ahead of you. Trust the intuitive nudges you are receiving. Trust your gut feelings. Follow your inner knowing. Clarity arrives. Vision becomes clear. Now we know what to do. Inspired action leads the way forward.
Mars in Aries can be impulsive and reckless. So know when to take action and when not to take action.
Mars enters Aries on April 9th, initiating a period of powerful change individually and collectively. Aries is the sign of new beginnings. We are taking action steps toward a new beginning. We stand at the starting point of a new path, dream or goal. Mars in Aries activates all the Fire, Air and Cardinal signs. Know what you want. Know what direction to take.
The Last Quarter Moon occurs on April 10th and both Mars and the Last Quarter Moon are asking us to get clear on what we want and where we are going. We are seeing the fruits of our choices and actions. And those of the people, places or things around us. The Last Quarter Moon invites us to assess our progress, revise plans, change habits, declutter, and rethink something in our lives. Notice the outcomes of actions taken. Notice the fruits and weeds in the garden. Notice what needs forgiving and letting go. Notice the harvest. Mars in Aries is asking us to begin again. Start new. Start fresh. Take a deep breath and keep going in the direction we have chosen now.
Both energies this week invite forward, accelerated movement. It is important during the Mars in Aries transit not to impulsive and reckless but to be smart and think about the consequences of your actions. Plan. Prepare. Be wise. Mars in Aries wants it now. And somethings take time. Practice patience. Understand Divine Timing. Focus on what is immediate and move with intention and attention.
On April 14th, Mercury will also enter Aries, and the mind is ready for action. All systems go. Mercury rules movement. Thus, the areas of life that have felt stagnant and blocked will start shifting and changing. The wind moves the rocks. Even if we can’t see it. The seed is growing under the ground and slowly will become a sprout. Pay attention to the subtle movements of change and transformation in your life. Pay attention to the lessons. Both Mercury and Mars are signaling that April is a month of action. A month of change. Be mindful of what changes you need to make. Be open to the Universe and its guidance. Be lead. Be held. Be cared for. We are getting prepared for the upcoming New Moon in Aries. A brand new life is emerging. This is pivotal month. Keep your eyes open. Keep your hands on the steering wheel. Stop waiting for life to happen and make it happen. Be ready. Forward movement is coming. And know that anything…anything is possible right now.
