Free Capricorn Horoscope for April 2009
One of the things that makes 2009 interesting astrologically is the large amount of time that Venus spends in Aries this year. For you, the Aries emphasis represents family in your solar chart. Venus as a rule symbolizes the human desire to achieve agreement and harmony, shared feelings, coordinated action and partnership. So that would seemingly mean you’d be spending a large amount of time in 2009 (including most of April through early June of this year) feeling all agreeably harmonious with your family.
The huge emphasis on Aquarius energy this year would seem to make that even more likely, even in financial ventures with a group of family members. Jupiter in Aquarius loves harmonious groups! But…Aries is an aggressive sign, and the only kind of group coordinated action it really resonates to is war action. It almost makes it seem as though your family (including extended family) will feel happiest if you all pick someone or something else to gang up on and get all hot and bothered about.
This is known in political circles as a tactic for increasing national cohesiveness by trumping up the dangers of a common enemy. It works pretty well and is not necessarily a bad tactic for getting through a crisis. If your family is facing a crisis, you might just want to help yourselves get through it by agreeing on something (or someone) to blame. This will be especially true as the month winds to an end (after April 22nd) for aggressive Mars himself will join Venus in Aries to cap off an extremely family-oriented month.
Before the 22nd Mars will be in Pisces, where it will be all grumpy and just itching to attack something. Short-term and short- distance travel aren’t really advised, especially around the middle of the month, unless you are hankering for a chance to yell at a rental car agent or something. Mars may be mad because spring hasn’t come fast enough, because your neighbors are devaluing your property by being all foreclosed on and stuff, or for no rational reason whatsoever. Mars in Pisces doesn’t need a rational reason to try to cause a feud with someone; it’s just a way of discharging emotion.
In other words, if you put the Aries and Pisces influences together, you get the rather unusual chance to choose your enemies to benefit the emotional health of your family. I’m not quite sure what to make of that, and this energy doesn’t occur all that often, so I leave it to you to make of it what you will.
