We are definitely going through shifts and awakenings in our consciousness, hopefully not ignoring the signs in our individual lives to ‘wake up and smell the roses’.  Not being awake and alert to changes we need to make within ourselves will find us aching and somewhat in pain, both physically and mentally.  So pay attention everyone…find your spiritual connection, meaning get in touch with what your ‘soul purpose’ on this planet is.

Remember your Solar Return Chart, Birthday Chart, for the months, April, May and June and know that these are a month by month approach, given at a reduced cost to those who want them.

I will give you a brief explanation for each sign from April 1st to June 30th so you can get an idea of challenges ahead! Remember to look to your Ascendant sign first, your Moon sign secondly and then your Sun sign to get a more accurate ‘hit’ on what is going on in your personal horoscope. If you have questions as to how your chart manifests itself in your life, you can always get in touch at 210.393.5349. I am here to help you figure this stuff out so don’t be shy!

Some highlights (what I think are most important) to be watching for during this three month cycle, April through June 2013, are the following:

• Partial Lunar Eclipse on April 25th in the sign of Scorpio.
• Annual Solar Eclipse on May 9th in the sign of Taurus.
• Saturn continues its two + year transit through Scorpio with the help of the North Node in Scorpio, emphasizing its path.
• Pluto takes a retrograde motion in Capricorn on the 12th of April and remains there until September the 20th.
• Chiron joins Neptune traveling through the early degrees of Pisces, adding more healing energy and dream channeling to this very sensitive sign. Neptune turns retrograde on the 7th of June and will go direct on the 13th of November, moving back to the beginning of the sign of Pisces, creating some opportunity to reconnect to spiritual awakenings.
• Uranus, the planet of immense change stays in direct motion in Aries and feels like a major roller coaster ride to both Aries and Libra, its opposite sign.
• Jupiter makes its transit through Gemini and enters Cancer the end of June, some think this is beneficial…I see it as too much of a good thing often and not handled wisely.
• Always remember when something affects Taurus and Scorpio, there are residual effects on Leo and Aquarius.  When Pisces is affected so are Virgo, Sagittarius and Gemini.  When Aries and Capricorn are affected, so are Libra and  Cancer.  No one gets off the hook here!

As always we must keep up with the New Moons, starting new projects and the Full Moons, finishing off endeavors that need releasing. It is best to follow an almanac of some kind as the Moon waxes and wanes and changes moods depending on your relationship to it.  The daily horoscopes you read in the paper or online pay close attention to these cycles.  You might want to buy an inexpensive Astrological calendar to keep up daily with the activity in the heavens!

Aries ~ is struggling with the changes in relationships, in their own uncertainty about the ‘life path’ they are on, not to mention the money they have lost or misspent in the process.  New loves may have come into the life with great gusto reminding them that the ‘love of their life’ last year may not be everything they thought he/she was. It is time to clean out all the cobwebs of your thinking and get a move on to find out what your response abilities are in serving the greater master, your soul’s path.  The way you know you are on the right path or not is the way your body feels, your energy levels and the pain you feel either in your head or your knees.  Don’t try to minimize this with pain killers as these pains will only reappear, having destroyed your abilities to manage your life in a way that is pain free.  Try to consider what others feel when they are with you and see you speeding along like a freight train without a plan of action.  You always think your way is the ‘right way’ however it might be the ‘hardest and least reflective way’ for you to live.  Try to step into some other persons shoes for a while, someone who has been trying to communicate with you and see how that person really feels about who and what you are.  Only trust those who know you well or the closest family member to you and you will probably get an honest accounting.  Home and career need to have your full attention now, equally so!  You might be wise to put more value in your home or invest in a place to be in your own ‘sacred space’.  You need reflective time now more than ever before as you bungee jump through life.  May Solar Eclipse may provide you a further glimpse of your money and investments. Think and spend wisely during this time.

Taurus ~  is really having a struggle with how they want to relate to the intimate other, struggle about being alone, being possessive, understanding their finances in regards to what they produce in comparison to the partner, one being better than the other or resentment toward the partner for not really earning more!  You need to spend more time defining your ‘needs’ from your ‘wants’, these are widely divided in your psyche at this time so it is important to figure out some of your inner drives and the psychic world that is pushing you to do what you are doing or in your case, ‘not doing’.  It is time to see what habits have driven you, what addictions or compulsions are still driving you. These don’t have to be food, drink or drugs as much as they are addictive thinking habits.  It is time to consider the medical issues that you have been putting off for so long.  Many of your problems have moved into the physical and caused some degree of pain which represents long time emotional pain, probably from childhood that keeps acting upon your psyche.  It might be a good time to consider telling your story to someone who you trust, to work out those things that keep you ‘down’.  Procrastination is still holding you back in some regards.  Find a good Virgo to help you work out the kinks in your life as they will tell you the truth, more than you ever wanted to know, but hey! You are a divine being and deserve to live in that higher spiritual realm.  It will serve you well.  Quit putting the blame on partners and own your part in the daily drama!

Gemini ~ You have been on a roll lately with Jupiter visiting your sign and soon Mr. Jupiter will be visiting your solar 2nd house which means you probably have made quite a bit of money lately and soon it will be time to spend that money on investments….please no ‘shopping’ and letting this flow through your fingers. So for the next several months pay close attention to saving, to investing wisely and finding solace in the fact that the whirlwind is over….you may still be traveling but not as much, so take a breather and  let the good times roll at home for a change.  Since Jupiter will move into Cancer, real estate investments or redoing property, fixing things up to sell may be a focus.  Health issues are something you like to ignore as you are mostly in good health with good energy to support that healthy life style, however ‘allergies’ may be a focus for you which seem to be bothering you as much as someone’s depleted condition bothers them; just remember these are only allergies, nothing more and can be handled with the right diet and environment.  Your craving for sweets is sometimes the lack of affection coming from a partner, or ‘oops’ it might  be your lack of ‘receiving affection’ that is putting you off your game.  Allow the love and affection into your life and relax into it rather than find ways to stave off that warmth and openness.  Sometimes it is the only communication that is necessary to mend a relationship rather than talking it to death.  Talk to your children or grown adult children at this to get some excellent feedback on the issues you face.  Now is the time to really trust those closest to you.

Cancer ~ Cancers are redefining themselves in the world of change, home, family, career, environment; you name it!  Your partner needs to be one of like mind and can see the forest and the trees so that you can both plan a future together that is warm, safe, loving and fraught with welcome change rather than change that brings on fear and insecurity.  You have been doing some work on the spiritual plane and now it is time to make your daily routine more sacred and spiritually aligned with your changing values.   You might be having very important dreams that need to be in a journal, some may be pointing the way to a different way of life that what you are use to and may guide you in a direction that could enhance more passion in your life.  Some new ideas, maybe even in the area of writing, publishing and exposing the incredible thoughts you have been having could be combined into your next big changes in this life, especially these three months before your birthday.    You may be concerned about your oldest child and that has taken up some of your time.  The things you want and desire for this child are also the things that you want and desire for yourself, so maybe this is all bound up in your creativity.  You will look back on these changes you are going through in a couple of years and find that this has been a remarkable time for you.  Now! About the person you are living with.  Is he or she depressed and difficult to live with?  If so, be sure you are not taking the blame for this and get some professional help for them or yourself so that you can live your life to the fullest and are not dragged down by the partner.  There are many things we can do for each other but unfortunately, none of those things means you take on the burdens of that person’s emotional imprisonment.  You are a nurturing loving soul, but you are not here to be a ‘savior’…only to learn unconditional love and ‘letting go’.

Leo ~ Wow, Leos have more energy to do extra activities, now more than ever before.  Stop trying to prove your worth and who you are to those around you; as you become more and more obsessive about working this all out, these problems of humanity…you are not in charge of this, you can only keep affirming positive energy and hopefully it will find the right ears to listen and the right heart to accept.  Many Leos find it hard to be ‘alone’ without being lonely.  Now is a time find your ‘truth’ in your ‘alone time’, sacred time.  You came here to make monumental changes in others and more importantly in yourself.  You cannot effect change in others if that change has not occurred in your psyche, at a permanent level.  This would be a good time to learn some meditative ways to find guidance and to recalibrate that system of yours to work on good health and spiritual connection. Your spiritual connection will only last as long as you take care of the ‘temple’ that God gave you to work with; your body!  Watch for addictions and issues around health that will bring you down and track these conditions not only physically but finding their emotional equivalents.  Your past pains may be catching up with you in the area of the physical.  Wait for the people you deserve to have in your life, seek you out….you don’t need to be in search of them, just be the ‘cat’ you are and keep a watchful and ‘waiting eye’ out for the persons you deserve to have in your life, those who give as much as you give in areas of life that are in need of tweaking.  You will find more peace in our life if you stay at home and make that a sacred space where you can meditate and be who you are!

Virgo ~ Virgos are finding that partnership is unpredictable and challenging and has a Neptunian quality about it.  Read up on the changes the Pisces are going through and you will see what to expect of the ‘significant other’ in your life; probably need to keep those expectations at bay!  Health issues may abound with you because you are not following the right foods and dietary conditions, however if you are, then these will not be an issue for you.  Your immune system is as confused as your partnership realm.  So make sure that you are not having some kind of war going on inside your body due to your own improper boundaries. Boundaries are equated to the immune system in every way and Virgo’s who are natural ‘worry warts’ will find every way to keep from serving themselves, so that they can be in some other person’s service.  Is that you?  If not, don’t worry about it, just do something for yourself every day that feels right in your gut!  Transportation and communication has become a problem lately so only depend on that which is ‘dependable’ and don’t take many risks now in those two departments.  Siblings are also going through their problem areas and you are not getting along as well as you should with them, so maybe it is time to leave them to their own devices and keep yourself from joining in their pain or confusion.  You seem to put yourself in a quandary as if you could do something about everyone and fix them according to your own needs.  Please don’t!  You will only get worked up about it and then have your incredibly sensitive digestive system in a real mess!  You are in a creative time of your life, so create out of your own understanding of ‘you’…not someone else’s.   Finances are equally unpredictable in your life now and will change for the good if you just quit obsessing about them.  Find something you really enjoy doing and do it for yourself and with that, you will find money flowing.  Find some good affirmations for you and stick with affirming yourself in every regard.  My suggestion is to pick up some Marianne Williamson material and go for it!

Libra ~ Libra is making all kinds of changes, career, home, family,  and relationships, not to mention money matters… The great thing about a Libra is they can see both sides of a coin and can adjust their lives accordingly to handle the ups and downs.  If you live with a Libra, this might be hard to realize, however when they go silent is when they are doing a balancing act bar none.  Worries about finances do not help matters at all, but this is just a trend and it will move into a more abundant time after June. Good news may come about at that time to lift some of the depression off of the Libran shoulders.   Some good news about a career change will come about in the summer as well, but it is a ‘must’ that you tune into what you really want and not what you think you ‘need’.  Your investments pay off and will find a way making your check book and your savings account balance with some new figures!  It is time to tweak your diet and pay attention to exercise and health.  You have been avoiding this with all kinds of excuses and procrastination reasons, however the lack of energy on your part is also related to the lack of success in your finances and career moves.  You might want to talk to someone who might help you in this and express some of your more deeply felt concerns.  This will all work out but it won’t if you keep it all to yourself.  You have many good years ahead of you so don’t let this bump in the road get you down!

Scorpio ~  Have you noticed your other Scorpio friends being more quiet and reserved than in the past; this is because they are up against their own intensity at this point and have faced the daemons head on.  Their lives are being readjusted and if you are a ‘Scorpio’, you know what I mean and how much time it has taken for you to adjust to your own fears, ambitions and  readjust your goals and communication so that others are not put off by what you are going through.  This is a time to dig in and make things right, including all of the things of the past which you have let slide without paying close attention to your responsibilities in all of this.  Mostly it is your projections on partners, both in marriage and in business. Now it time for you to see what you need to do and make things right.  It will seem like others don’t understand you, but look at it this way, ‘do you understand you?’.  How can other understand you if you can’t even make sense of what is going on?  If you have had problems with addictions, especially drugs or alcohol then now is the time to ‘clean up’ and address these issues so that they don’t become monumental circumstances that you can no longer ‘fix’.  Scorpios are some of the strongest people on the planet and don’t let them fool you.  They know what is up and they can hide their most vulnerable sides, however when they are out stinging with their words and behaviors then they are in their most vulnerable and depressed state.  They are letting fear run the system.  How many Scorpios do you know who will tell you they are living in fear?  None I bet!  You need to reach into your bag of tricks and believe in your higher self, to follow your spiritual path in a way that models your behavior to others with integrity and sense of purpose.  Watch how your Taurus opposite always gets their situations handled come hell or high water and now, it is time for you to do the same. Claim your fame and fortune in the next several months by trying honesty and integrity as guideposts.  It will work out, believe me.  Situations will turn around in May for the good but only if you own up to your response-abilities!

Sagittarius ~ Sagittarians have great capacity to gain spiritual momentum during this time.  The next year, beginning these next few months, will be very promising for making money and publishing if the motives are pure and simple.  Be careful not to waste your energy on something that you have not really planned out carefully.   Your fire will burn brightly the next few months with idea after idea coming to you.  It is best to find a very grounded person with whom to share these ideas so you can put them in order and get the most out of your ‘creative fire’.  Earthy people, (with much earth in their natal charts) will tend to bring everything down to reality and if they don’t stop you in your tracks, they will at least organize you to be efficient and not spend as much time in the ‘ideal world’.   If you are publishing, then your works will definitely bring forth a claim to fame, but if not, you have other irons in the fire which can do the same.   Your children can also be an inspiration to you during this time and may turn your head in a different direction if not, giving you a new perspective on life.  Pay attention and listen closely to what these wise kids of the future have to say.  Your home needs to be filled with sacred spaces where you can meditate and be close to your ‘soul purpose’, so keep blessing that space and find some ways to feng shui your home into a more conducive and peaceful place to be for all concerned.  More than ever, your home and your physical self represent how spiritually evolved you are and all will bring you great joy if you have reverence for this process.  Your health might have some ups and downs as your body tries to burn out toxins so take care to be on the right diet for yourself and especially watch for yeast imbalances.  Stay with alkaline foods during this time as much as you can.  As I have said before to you, take care of your boundaries in a way that shows you have high regard for yourself in the mix of people you attract.

Capricorn ~  You Capricorns are rolling with the punches for sure and seem to have built a strength like no other along the way, many thanks to Pluto in your natal Sun Sign.  You might have seen some friends go by the way side because of their inability to handle planetary energies of late, however you have made it in a big way and are continuing to keep your nose to the grindstone.  Don’t let up on trying to tweak your diet and find a way to make your body healthy as it has had much stress and will need to totally recalibrate itself for the coming successful years ahead.  You have spent time or ‘should be spending time’ cleaning out those closets, both physically and mentally, making sure you are not hoarding something that needs to be let go of; this will provide for new doors to open and new successes to be gained if you are really taking an inventory of your inner and outer closets.  You might rely on friends that have been with you from childhood, if not your own siblings to help along the way.  Some of your other friends have gone and will not be showing up especially to help. Have you noticed?  Your creativity will be at a peak in the next few months and you will move forward with even more creative spirit.  This is also lived out by your own children so watch what they are doing and follow suit if you are dragging your heels.  You have great healing energies flowing through your body, but in no way should you spend that energy on someone who is not grateful or who cannot learn from what you are giving.  Move on and find your niche…don’t struggle, because the struggle itself will dissipate the energy and you will find yourself tired and worn out.  It is a time when you can realize your goals and aspirations in a new way, a new perspective.  Be sure to keep a private journal during this time as it will help you figure out your future and your mistakes of the past.  Pay close attention to any dreams that come through right now as they will guide you in a way that will fuel your desires to be the ‘best at what you do’.

Aquarius ~ Aquarians are becoming more grounded, especially if they are paying attention to home, health, environment and that of the friends they attract.  If ever there was a Sun Sign that could be analyzed according to the friends one has, this is the main one; Aquarius!  Money comes and goes in big lump sums, so when the money is coming in, save it for when the money is going out!  You might be noticing problems with your communications and transportations and it is wise not to react so quickly, making mistakes or having accidents.  Be sure to check out what is being heard from you, listen to what others might have to offer and also take good care of your car and its mechanical devices so that you are safe when driving or riding in a car.   Your home should be a solace for you these days and be filled with organization and good clean energy so that you can see what you are accomplishing. This means to clean up those stacks of ‘needed items’ all over your home and make it represent external organization so it will go into your internal organization and keep you well.  Drinking lots of fluids to enhance your circulation is a must! Watching the carbohydrates you take into your body will also eventually help you with your circulation.  Your body might deplete in both electrolytes and Vitamin B during your busy days so keep those foods around  you that enhance and build your stamina.  If not, you will feel sluggish and won’t be prepared to get that brain recalibrated for success.  You might be also starting to rethink your career or at least figure out how you can make the most of your profession.  You have to be doing something you are passionate about, but you also need to make money.  What is a great situation is to be doing both!  If that is not the venue of the day, then you will have to make money on the side and also do what you are driven instinctively to do to find your passion.  Good luck to you as you are a special sign and seem to have all the luck at the end of the day!

Pisces ~  Pisces is really having a time of it as you might notice if you have other friends who are Pisces or who have a stellium in Pisces.  Their healing energy, not to mention their psychic energy is at a ‘max’ so they are in the ‘zone’ for sure!  If you, as a Pisces, feel and instinctively are in touch with something, then you are usually correct.  Your energies around relationships may be somewhat confusing, especially to the one with whom you are in a significant relationship. You need to explain that you need time alone and sacred space to meditate and just relax your energies for the day so that you can be in your ‘groove’. This really has nothing to do with the person with whom you are relating and it has everything to do with your own special kinds of healing energies.   When you are being careful with yourself, good diet, lots of peaceful exercise, i.e. yoga, swimming, then you are really capable of many things that are helpful in the long run.   Now is not the time to stress your spine or your feet by doing aerobics that are too fast in the movement as your brain really cannot take that much at this point. You will find your dreams and creative imagination are getting your through the days ahead so be sure and take these things to heart and  know that you are building a permanent successful body, mind and soul for the future.  Neptune and Chiron are passing through your sign and both of them emphasize healing of spirit and body…whatever that means in your life.  It would be nice for you to just enjoy the theater, the movies, dance, music, whatever can get your mind to relax and meditate into another drama other than your own.  How about that?  Be careful with friends and make sure that your boundaries are in place and you are not out saving the world!  The true friends will stay loyal, the others will go their own way.  Just be sure you aren’t part of their drama!
