Midlife Transits

Literature, literary-type people, words, pens, pencils, reading, websites, blogs, email messages, IMing, texting, cell phones, etc., etc., etc., etc. That’s the vibe for April. This month, the sun’s in Aries, Mercury spends some time there, Venus moves in and out of the sign, and Mars moves in for a little over a month. Aries in your solar chart just loves all that writing and speaking and communicating stuff. I guess the implication is that these next couple of months offer your prime opportunity to capitalize on all these forms of expression. Go for it!

Meanwhile, Mars is also in Pisces this month, actually from March 15 to April 22nd. Here it will meet up with Venus in the middle of April and with Uranus as well. Pisces represents the Aquarian money house. The conundrum thing for Aquarius people is that Pisces as a sign is all sympathetic and understanding of the needs of others. So, given half a chance, it will sneak around behind your back doling out your money to the needy and forgetting to save any for you! Many Aquarians have experienced this in one form or another over the last 5 or 6 years, as Uranus in Pisces has been shoveling cash out their doors or mysteriously refusing payment for legitimate services.

So here’s what you gotta face this month as Mars transits this sector of your chart: the reality that all this Uranus in Pisces energy may be masking a lack of confidence in yourself when it comes to money, possessions, material security, and all that stuff. Now I’m not gonna blame you if you’ve been lacking confidence. I’m just going to tell you that with Jupiter in your sign this year and Saturn bearing down on you like a financial drill sergeant, you’ve got to temporarily get over any fears or misgivings you have. You’ve got to convince yourself that you’re worthy of financial security and stop worrying about all those other poor people these days with troubles of their own.  Their problems are their business; yours are your business.
