Astrology for April 2021

The issues in your life continue to evolve as your orientation to the struggles you experience change as well. Underlying concerns show themselves more clearly as you change tact, navigating new ways to achieve your goals. And whenever these are sabotaged, you may need to ask yourself: Has this been driven by an unconscious need to fit in, to be accepted or have I chosen to follow my path from an innermost yearning, despite what others think?

On the public level, there appears to be growing intolerance to the blatant abuses and general disregard of politicians for public opinion. People are becoming more vocal, demanding these figures to be more accountable, to demonstrate the values of the communities they are supposed to represent.

On both the personal and public level, dissatisfaction is rising, becoming more conscious, as the Sun comes to its first quarter after transiting away from Pluto and Saturn. The general public disapproval will increase to the end of this month before becoming more personalized, directing each of us to examine what we can do privately to champion what’s important to our personal evolution. At this point Pluto begins moving retrograde for another five months as it does each year. The focus over these months are directed towards your individualized evolutionary needs, influenced by the challenges you face regarding your preconceived understandings and beliefs when your reality may not appear to support this.

On the 4^thof April Mercury moves into Aries accentuating a quick, impulsive mental restlessness. Arguments are more likely to disturb the general harmony and so take care with your assumptions. It then moves into Taurus on the 19^th, grounding your communication, slowing it down, becoming more considered with what you say. Venus moves into Taurus on the 15^th bringing more warmth into your interactions, supported further by the Sun moving into Taurus on the 20^th slowing you down, allowing you to focus more upon your need for comfort and security. Then Mars moves into Cancer on the 23^rd, with more attention and energy directed towards the home front. With Mars in Cancer, there is a tendency to be less expressive, to hold onto things more and so in the process you may find yourself becoming more irritable about things rather than address these directly and conflict with family could become more prominent. The full Moon in Scorpio occurs on the 27^th, just a day prior to Pluto moving retrograde, along with Uranus conjunct Sun. Upsets and impulsiveness mark this time, setting a rebellious tone, although short lived and fairly contained.
