For the majority of March, your ruling planet, lovely Venus, is being “besieged” by the toxic duo, Mars and Saturn. Astrologically, besiegement refers to transits where a planet is locked between these two malefics. Much to your chagrin, Venus has nowhere to flit and no one to charm at the moment. Indeed, romance, money, and beauty—all three domains governed by your ruler—are currently afflicted. Alas. But beginning April, the besiegement ends and your ruling planet finds some solace in your 6th House of Routine, Health, and Diet. Given that Venus has been so askew this year, this transit in a low-key House is the perfect landing spot for Planet Diamonds. Find balance this month by establishing a beauty routine and better diet. On April 21, the Sun shifts into Venus-ruled Taurus season. In Libra, Planet Love is social and airy. In Taurus, however, it is more earthy and pleasure-seeking. The Taurus Sun will be lighting up your 8th House of Intimacy and Taxes. Think sensual silk sheets, not spreadsheets, this transit.
Partner up! Twosomes are on the agenda as the Sun travels through Aries, your seventh house of one-on-one relationships, until April 19. For the first three weeks of the month, you have your mind on collaborating—a Libran specialty. Evaluate whether the current unions in your life, both personal and professional, are working as well as they could be. When the Sun moves into Taurus and your eighth house of merging on April 19, you could be ready to take things to an uber-official status.
If you need to make a fresh start, this month will deliver a double dose of opportunities, thanks to two new moons bookending April. Not only is this rare, but the second one happens to be a solar eclipse. Change is definitely in the spring air! In Aries and Taurus, these new moons could bring exciting opportunities to partner up, perhaps out of the blue.
A historic moment will arrive on April 12, when Jupiter makes its once-every-13-years conjunction (meetup) with enchanting, compassionate Neptune. This boundless, freedom-driven connection will take place in idealistic Pisces, the zodiac sign co-ruled by both Jupiter and Neptune, for the first time since 1856! In your service sector, the Jupiter-Neptune meetup can give you a glimpse of how you can make a difference in the world. It doesn’t have to be anything huge. Just look for ways you can bring balance, health and wholeness to the spaces you occupy.
