April is a big month astrologically speaking but it doesn’t mean that everything we want to set in motion will happen quickly. There are more than a few indications that although there is huge inspiration for jumping headfirst into the mysteries of life there are still some complicated spiritual equations to wrestle with in order to get at the roots of our desires and there are no easy solutions ahead.
For those of you who know the astrology, this is easy to see. A Solar Eclipse ruled by Mars in Pisces conjunct Saturn almost automatically brings us back to more profound philosophical questions and poetic imageries that reveal paradoxical yet fundamental truths about the nature of reality. Walking on a tightrope, the emerging yet very immature consciousness of Aries collides with the profound knowing of Pisces and more extensively Chiron which conjunct the Solar Eclipse on April 8th. The Solar Hero is confronted with ego-transcending riddles and one must advance with all these considerations holding both the heart and the mind in each hand while the winds of change, swirling left and right, threaten to throw this delicate equilibrium into chaotic inceptions.
I don’t think that April Astrology is bad, I think we have the opportunity to understand more profoundly where we have abandoned ourselves. However, with Mercury moving retrograde all month, the very potent Solar Eclipse in Aries conjunct Chiron and the Jupiter-Uranus conjunction in Taurus on April 20th, there are most definitely some elements that we are unable to take into consideration just quite yet. The fruit is ripe with sweet nectar and the Head of the Dragon hungers for it but there is no reasoning with the compulsive nature of Rahu and there is always a price to pay in exchange for the treasure that it guards.
My guess is that in the next month, most of us will have opportunities to gain greater insights into our own nature and the nature of reality itself.
