Midlife Transits

There’s a little bit of home-related energy in April, Cancer, at the full moon in Libra on the 9th. But most of the month’s energy revolves around your interactions with the outside world. There’s Aries energy throughout the month. Aries in your solar chart represents how you define yourself in the world, usually through professional or career activities, although any highly visible role will fill the bill.

There’s also a lot of Taurus going on in April, and that has more to do with making a positive contribution to others or society. This can be done through friendships, charity work, donations to worthy causes, working with others in an association or group and so on. The new moon in Taurus occurs on the 24th, a perfect opportunity to turn over a new leaf in this area if you’re of a mind to. The sun and Mercury are also in Taurus from the 19th and 9th respectively.

Put the Aries and Taurus energies together and you get things like a good month to run for office in a professional association, club, or other organization that could help you increase your stature. Mercury is also good for things like socializing with one’s siblings. If you haven’t had a chance to catch up with yours lately, April might be the time to do so. Yet another use of the month’s energy would be to join an exercise group or class (Aries loves exercise, Taurus in your chart loves groups, Mercury loves classes!).

There’s also a bit of Pisces energy in the air, still. (Mars, Venus for a couple of weeks, and Uranus). Pisces represents your solar chart’s attempts to make plans for the future. Around the 17th, there’s a combination of Mars and Uranus energies in this sign that could really goose up your energy as far as boosting your resolve and determination to stick with whatever plans for the future want to make.
