GRAND CARDINAL CROSS APRIL 2014

Lets talk about the Astrology for April again. I know that in my Intuitive Patterns for the month of April I touched on this energy surrounding everyone as we come into an exact square between Uranus, Pluto, Jupiter, and Mars. This month is a month of breakthrough or breakdown. There is no way you are not noticing the intensity from others and how the volatility index has reached a record high in it’s aggressive tendencies.

I felt the need to talk about it again because the last two weeks of April will be the most intense. You will be on a global white-knuckle cosmic roller coaster ride, so get ready!

When you get 4 big planets in the 4 Cardinal signs (Aries, Libra, Cancer, and Capricorn), and they all come into the same degree in the sky, let’s just say it will create clashes that create turning points in your life. It could feel like there is one crisis after another and you will have to make instant decisions in the most sensitive areas of your life. So, try to ride the waves and make the most constructive decisions you can. Remember the intent with this energy is to learn to streamline and be able to relate to others in a more authentic way.

I want to break the drama down to some bullet points

April 15^th. Total lunar eclipse with the Sun in Aries and the Moon will be in Libra. A full moon always brings illumination and in this case it will bring insights into relationships (Libra) as well as, your drive and identity (Aries). You will be releasing something that is from your past and you might notice changes in your memory but this is designed to break you into a new beginning.

April 20^th. Jupiter in Cancer forms an exact square. This will create a type of inner tension and turmoil that will force us to make a turning point in our life. The game will be to balance our need to feel safe (Cancer) with our need to pioneer into the unknown (Aries).

Because Pluto is going to sit exactly opposite Cancer this can also create conflicts in our work and business environments also.

April 21^st. Uranus in Aries squares off with Pluto in Capricorn. This configuration will bring up the question, “How do I express my own individuality and identity in a soul centers way that benefits all?”

April 22^nd. Mars in Libra squares with Jupiter in Cancer. Now the question becomes, “How can I preserve my strength and identity and balance my own personal needs with the importance of nurturing others as well?”

April 23^rd.  Mars in Libra opposite Uranus in Aries. How can we balance the need for diplomatic actions, justice and create fair dealings with ourselves and others with the need to express our personal genius in an individual way?

And Mars in Libra squaring Pluto in Capricorn. What change or what end do I need in relationships or regarding choices in institutions, countries, or businesses? And how can I do this in the most beautiful way?

April 29^th. Solar eclipse in Taurus. This will bring you a new beginning and it is best to look at ways to create comfort, abundance, and money.

Clear your calendar as much as possible so you can adjust to ongoing changes and volatile energies. Be prepared for plans to go awry and for anything in your life that has outlived its usefulness to fail in some way or go off the rails so you can release it and move on.

Avoid launching anything new. We're all in a major phase of breakdown and transformation, so this time is best used to flow with such energies to clear out our lives (and our homes, closets, desks, and other areas) so we're ready for the new in May.

Be alert to other people's energies and challenges. Given the nature of this month's energies and the relentless pressures they will bring, many people will feel stress and may respond poorly or inappropriately at times. Withdraw when necessary but also carry a spirit of tolerance and unconditional love for all your fellow humans and other creatures. As much as possible, take good care of yourself with extra rest, reduced demands (especially socially), and especially nourishing meals on a regular schedule.
