Weekly Astrology April 5- 11 2010 by Lydia Sirhawk

April 5-11^th 2010

Aries

There is a lot of baby potential brewing in the darkness of your psyche, Aries. It’s like a seed germinating in the depths of the dark, dark earth; very fragile but full of great possibility. Take care of your baby seed; send it positive thoughts and lots of love and it could turn into a new romance, or an exciting creative project. The choice is yours. Career developments need lots of focus and ambition, you will need to put some logs on the fire and intensify your drive. The slow and steady method works best. Also watch your own ego; it could get in the way of a good thing. It’s not just about you; it is also about the team you work with as well. Financially; overspending is a great temptation, especially when it comes to fun events. You want to do something lavish, but you will need to hide the plastic money away for this week. Treat yourself like a movie star, but avoid outings that require a lot of cash. Saturn; the teacher, dresses up in Virgo school-marm gear once more, which means that it is time to face old health issues. Have you been eating all your greens, Aries? Do you get enough exercise? If not, you’ll get a reminder that it’s time to change your ways.

Taurus

Invite great friends over for a lavish dinner party this week. Use your fertile imagination to come up with tasty gourmet treats to share with others. People will be impressed and will appreciate your hospitability. New ideas are developed from these kinds of social interactions, after all is said and done, jot down some of the impressions you received in a personal journal, include any new contacts that you may have acquired. You are especially ready to spread that practical philosophy of yours. Many people are hungry for common sense, and as you know, common sense isn’t very common at all. Your biggest critics are your closest relatives. Try not to take their flippant comments personally. Familiarity does breed contempt, but who are you trying to impress? You or that crazy relative of yours who’s living a miserable life thanks to their sour attitude? Someone will push you into a corner and they will test your patience. Try to prepare for it, we all know how patient you can be, but when you are angry watch out! Your blood pressure could suffer, and so could they, know when to walk away from a bad fight that will accomplish nothing in the end.

Gemini

You are a Ninja! Coming out of nowhere like smoke and suddenly turning into a stealth fighter– you have the element of surprise working for you. How do you do it? Well, thanks to your multiple personalities you are flexible enough to accommodate just about any environment you find yourself in. Speak out with confidence once you are secure in your position. People will listen, and they will be shocked into awe and reverence. Making money is easy; you are in the mood to work hard to accomplish your goals. Watch your health though; too much working could cause you some pain, especially if you suffer from arthritis. You may think you are invincible, but even you have your limits. Communication is everything, if you want to get ahead. Don’t be afraid to ask for something, chances are very high that you will get what you desire. Patience is required, rushing around won’t help you, you’ll need to take a deep breath and wait; good things come to those who wait. Old man Saturn, the lord of karma and other life’s lessons moves back into Virgo on the 8^th of this month. For you this means that you will have to deal with family issues once more, come to terms with the bottom line, and start to embrace how your family has moulded you into the person you are today.

Cancer

You are motivated to bring love into your life Cancer. You’ll do whatever it takes to make it happen. This makes you sexy, especially if you come from a place of self confidence. Embrace the idea that you deserve to be loved, and all will fall into place. Don’t settle for second best, either, you don’t need a bad affair, you need someone who will love and respect you and be there for you. A very motivating best friend is there to inspire you. Both of you together come up with a plan that offers you the solution you have been looking for. Don’t go at it alone, you have friends who love and care for you and who will stand by your side. Great change is possible, but it’s not painless; like chick breaking out of its egg you’ll need to make that one big push to get the ball rolling. It’s uncomfortable to remain static, keep on pressing against the darkness until you see the light. A few promises may not come true, but don’t worry, eventually everything will fall into place as it should. Take the best of your situation and turn it into something even better. Saturn heads back into order-loving Virgo, offering you the opportunity to write out a great “to do” list for the next few months. You’ll feel prepared and motivated enough to achieve all that you need to accomplish.

Leo

Some funky stuff is going on when it comes to love. Your dreams speak volumes. Nightmares highlight issues or people that you may have been taking for granted. Your psychic powers are highly amplified, and you could be able to predict what will happen, listen carefully to the static buzz of intuition. People are attracted to the warrior in you. Like a knight in shining armour, or like Joan of Arc, you follow a secret mission that leads you towards self knowledge. Your Holy Grail (that thing or person that you desire above everything else) offers you insight into your own strengths and weaknesses, and this insight encourages you to develop what you have, and evolve into a better person. Conservative garb is required at work, and a slow and steady pace is needed. You will have to hide that “star of the show” attitude for this week at least. Learn the fine art of being humble, play for the team, not just yourself. This could be frustrating especially when others take your gifts for granted, but if you are persistent, eventually people will understand the good that you do, and you’ll be rewarded. Saturn re-enters Virgo’s practical and organized realm, inspiring you, yet again, to practice the art of frugality. You’ve been through it before, and you know what you need to do in order to save up for that nest egg you require.

Virgo

Things get steamy in your world, Virgo, thanks to the connection between Venus in creative and sensitive Pisces, and Mars in bold and confident Leo. What does this mean for you? Well, if you feel that you are participating in a love affair that needs some spicing up, why not take your partner to some place like a sauna? Even a shared shower can be rejuvenating. Allow yourself to reach for the impossible and make it happen, like a bat flying through the night you instinctively know where you need to go. “See” the truth with your inner eye. Great creative potential comes to you, especially if you allow yourself to follow your heart. I know this isn’t easy, but I’m asking you not to think too much this week. Let go of the static and tune into the true message from the universe. Desire is a great motivator, but it could also be your undoing, especially when it comes to ambition. Try to know when to say “enough” because too much of a good thing could turn into something bad. Learn to share what you have too, when you do, you will discover that you feel better about yourself and the people around you. Saturn moves back into your sign once more, but this time it’s moving retrograde, which means that you’ll have an opportunity to develop personal strength. Review the lessons you learned about yourself over the past two years.

Libra

Get together with some of your more mysterious friends and do something dark and different. Break a few outdated taboos, face a persistent childhood fear.  This is a wonderful time to go ghost hunting. When it comes to love, you’re very intuitive; you know exactly what is going on. Read between the lines, the truth rests between what is said and not said. Your family understands your strange ways, and they are there to offer financial support if you need it, however, they won’t really understand your dreams of making it big. Stick to a practical plan and you’ll have them on your side. On that note, I also recommend not lending money to friends. The energy isn’t right for that, and you could easily lose a friendship or two if you borrow and lend from people that you are emotionally attached to. Saturn, the planet of karma dives back into your house of subconscious awareness, which means that this is a fantastic time to participate in past life mediation. Volunteering for an institution like a hospital or a church is very therapeutic; it helps you deal with old wounds and issues that fester beneath the surface.

Scorpio

Your sexy and charming nature tames the wild beasts at work Scorpio. Flash that enigmatic Cheshire cat smile and tease people with your sharpened sense of wit. Career-wise, you’re in a lucky place; this is your chance to lead the show. Sometimes, it helps to announce your accomplishments. A hard working reputation by itself isn’t always the answer. Having a positive attitude creates magic. Market your skills; let people know you are the star of the show. If you believe in your cause, others will follow. If someone is throwing smoke in your face, ask clarifying questions that will help you get right to the heart of what’s being said. Someone is trying to keep score when it comes to an argument, know when to say “I disagree” and move on. Saturn, the planet of lessons and hard work re-enters into your eleventh house of friendship. This is a chance for you to weed out bad acquaintances, you know the ones I’m talking about, those friends of yours who cause more damage to your psyche than good. They are not real friends at all.

Sagittarius

If you’ve ever wanted to escape with your family in tow, this would be the week to do so. Your clan offers you a lot of emotional support and there is a cosy warm feeling that you get from interacting with those who are familiar to you. Plan for something big and exciting; consider travelling to a country ruled by Leo, like Italy or the South of France. Even a holiday at an all inclusive resort will pamper you and your clan. Financially, those blue chip stocks pay off. Play conservative and think long term. This isn’t a great time to get involved in a legal battle however, you’ll lose money. Try to make peace without involving a lawyer. Saturn returns into the clear thinking, logical realm of Virgo, inspiring you to tidy the clutter at work. Your sense of order, and focus on detail, helps you move up the corporate ladder.

Capricorn

Allow it to be “all about you”, this week, Capricorn. A little bit of selfish indulgence, especially through conversation, is very therapeutic. Go ahead and gaze at the lint in your belly-button. You might want to connect with an old friend who loves to listen to your stories, someone who makes a great sounding board, someone whom you can trust, so you can share you deepest darkest secrets with them. By doing so, you begin to awaken a new awareness, especially if you are willing to listen to their good advice. The energy is great for love letters and other forms of creative communication. You might want to consider starting a blog. Watch out for negative criticism however, it could really damage a fragile creative process. If you are not ready for feedback, don’t ask for it, or ask only those who will offer you constructive advice. Saturn shifts back into Virgo on the 8^th of this month, which is great for you; you’ll find the focus and the clarity you need to be able to develop your ambitions.

Aquarius

If you really want love to come into your life, it’s time to open the doors and show your softer, more vulnerable side. Cuddle, smile, be enigmatic, you don’t have to club your mate over the head and drag them to your cave by their hair (though that may come later depending on the nature of your relationship).  Have faith that you truly deserve love, a strong sense of confidence in yourself, and an open hand, allows the right people into your world. You are going through a big psychological evolution, but this change isn’t an overnight process, it’s going to take patience. Start small and keep working on it. Family problems come up as best friends argue with your relatives, ego’s bruise easily and you could get caught in the middle of a delicate situation. My advice is to not invite your parents over for the next few weeks. Wait until after the Mercury retrograde passes– next month is much better for that. Saturn, the planet of hard work, enters into analytical Virgo on the 8^th; inspiring you to fill out tax forms, talk to your accountant, and your investor. This is your opportunity to clear financial confusion.

Pisces

Love yourself, Pisces. This week, the universe asks you to take care of yourself. Treat your body like a temple; treat your soul like a child. Compliment yourself, if you feel the need for positive reinforcement. Treat yourself to something you’ve always wanted. You don’t have to spend a lot of money; you just need to show yourself the respect you truly deserve. Social ventures bring you a great amount of luck. Connect with business types who inspire you to make more money. Supportive friends help you develop your biggest dreams. Arguments with a stubborn co-worker could become problematic however, they may not see your true value, but don’t allow their judgment to impede your progress. As I always say, take what you need and cut yourself free from negativity. Saturn moves back into Virgo by the 8^th, allowing you to deal with relationship issues. It is time for you to work hard and find security. A strong commitment to a partnership helps it grow into a long lasting connection. An enemy’s behaviour mirrors your own shadow self, ask yourself this: “why are they pressing my buttons?”
