Midlife Transits

If you need more money (and your chart says you do), April will be of interest to you. The money problem in your chart stems from two things. One is Saturn in Virgo in your personal money house. Saturn is notoriously stingy here, although he can also be useful.

The second money problem your chart has relates to your partner’s finances, which are just as notoriously unreliable. Lately, they’ve been not only unreliable, but problematically so. If you haven’t got problematic partner finances to deal with then it’s likely to be things like taxes or debt or big expenses or other annoying obligations. April’s astrology can’t do anything about those two problems.

But it can do something about your career, and in the world of Leo solar charts, the career is a potentially big money maker. Your personal career new moon for 2009 takes place on April 24. Note the date and follow the money or the opportunities for money or the career opportunities or basically anything you can spy out of the corner of your eye that looks like it might mean money or career enhancement somewhere down the line. This energy is good for a couple of weeks, so jump on it.

If you want to be super-smart, use the days preceding this new moon to think real hard about what you can do to take advantage of it. You’ll have Mercury (thinking planet) in Aries (planning for the future sign in your chart) until the 9th. After that, you’ll have Mercury (still thinking) in Taurus (your career and money sign).  You’ll also have Venus (money planet) in Aries (planning) for much of the month. If that doesn’t sound like your chart’s in ‘show me the money mode’ then I don’t know what does.
