APRIL 2003 by Bob Mulligan

Projects of every kind generally have more potency when started on or near the New Moon. Astrologically, a new year begins when the Sun crosses into Aries, the first sign of Spring. So the first new moon of the New Year is a consummate time to begin something new. For the last couple of weeks you have been mulling some ideas over, now they can come full circle and be put into motion.

Usually April is a month of planting and starting new projects. We are doing that with a vengeance this year. However, you can't plant seeds on ground that hasn't been prepared properly. In certain areas of life we have ground clearing that needs to take place. The good news is that with some effort, the debris from the past can be cleared away. Saturn (lord of form) is in Gemini (sign of distribution) for a few more months. Now is the time for us all to clear our thinking process. Some problems in life occur because of the way that we look at them. Now is the time to change perspective, to see our world and its difficulties differently.

We are building toward a happy conclusion from the 1st to the 16th. It is as if life begins anew on the first and keeps on building consistently until the Full Moon. Tremendous last minute adjustments happen during the weekend of the 11th, 12th, and 13th. Corrections keep being made until Thursday the 17th, the day after the Full Moon. This is the best time of the month. From the 17th to 20th we are making adjustments and counting our marbles. This is the time to check and see what we have. From the 20th to the 26th we are getting rid of excess and preparing for our next plan to surface. From the 26th to the 30th we are correcting our past errors and making adjustments.

1st -Tuesday - The New Moon is at 11 Aries, 2:19 pm EST. Mercury sextile Saturn. Sheer force of will isn't going to make your life successful now. Look around you. Immediate circumstances provide valuable clues as to how to make the most out of your current endeavors.

2nd - Wednesday - Mercury contra-parallel Venus. Sun sextile Neptune. Envision everyone working together for a common cause. It won't just happen but it can with your conscious focus.

3rd - Thursday - Venus Quincunx Jupiter, Jupiter turns direct. Today we have a settling up with the past, which can give us some emotional clarity.

4th - Friday - Mercury Contra-parallel Uranus. Last minute information can have us all switching direction today. Some changes are momentary and some can be quite permanent.

5th - Saturday - Mars semi-sextile Pluto. Our energy is best utilized by focusing on our own long-range projections.

6th - Sunday - Daylight Savings Time begins - Mercury Sextile Uranus, Sun Semi-square Uranus, Mercury Contra-parallel Pluto. Great time for coming up with new ideas. "Brainstorming" today can reap big returns.

7th - Monday - Venus Semi-sextile Neptune, Moon Opposite Pluto, Conjunct Saturn. We are easily taken over by ideas of serving others. If you make decisions today based on fear you can be headed in the wrong direction. Go easy on making changes. Stay with your current direction a little longer.

8th - Tuesday - Mercury Sesquiquadrate Pluto, Sun Contra-parallel Venus. Abrupt change of plans can put you on very solid footing today. Watch out for unprincipled demands placed on you by others.

9th - Wednesday - Sun trine Pluto. Apply great force behind predetermined plans today.

10th - Thursday - Mars contra-parallel Saturn, Mercury square Jupiter, Mercury semi-square Saturn. Genuine productivity and happiness are within reach today. When disagreements arise, be willing to make concessions on short-term projects in order to secure the long-range common good.

11th - Friday - Mercury Contra-parallels Neptune. Idealism today may be far removed from what has to happen next. There is no substitute for prioritizing. Put first things first.

12th - Saturday - We have Mars Quincunx Saturn. You can suffer by doing the right thing at the wrong moment. Timing is very important yet illusive today. Monitor both fear and impatience.

13th - Sunday - Venus Squares Pluto, and Mercury Squares Neptune. A good cause can suffer by applying too much pressure. Go easy with those you are having difficulty with.

14th - Monday - The Sun Sextile Saturn. Stay on your pre-determined path today. Success is achieved through consistency.

15th - Tuesday - Venus Sesquiquadrate Jupiter, Mercury Parallel Jupiter. Emotions are very worked up right now and it is possible to gather much support for ideals that you hold dear.

16th - Wednesday - The Full Moon is at 26 Libra-Aries, at 3:36pm EDT. We are riding the crest of a wave now. Make sure your thoughts and attitudes are as inclusive as possible.

17th - Thursday. - Venus Square Saturn, Sun square Mars. It is difficult to see the obstacles today as something self-caused, however, this is the way of rapid personal progress.

18th - Friday - Moon enters Sagittarius. It is quite possible to lighten up and relax today. Take yourself and life less seriously. Have fun.

19th - Saturday - Venus semi-square Neptune. We can all see more than we can achieve today. Relax, personal life and professional life can meet each other half way.

20th - Sunday - The Sun enters Taurus then Contra-parallels Uranus. Plan for the future. All long-range projections can receive a boost today. We see some of our most cherished goals move forward as we switch methods of implementation.

21st - Monday - Venus Sextile Mars, Venus into Aries, and Mars into Aquarius. We are saying goodbye to some past relationships and connecting with some new people and new methods for moving forward with our lives.

22nd - Tuesday - Mercury Quincunx Pluto, Sun Sextile Uranus. Change is the nature of the day. Be willing to innovate.

23rd - Wednesday - Venus Semi-sextile Uranus. Watch out for becoming disconnected from your support mechanism. Watch to make sure that you are acknowledging both the new and the old in your life now.

24th - Thursday - The Moon Conjuncts Neptune then Sextiles Pluto. Big ideas don't always translate into a great future. Be prepared to wait for things that look to be inevitable.

25th - Friday - Sun Sesquiquadrate Pluto, Mars Semi-sextile Uranus. Too much assertion can get anyone in trouble today. It's a perfect day to re-evaluate what you want.

26th - Saturday - Mercury Semi-sextiles Venus, then retrogrades until May 20th. The Sun Semi-sextiles Venus then Contra-parallels Pluto. Take stock of where you are really at during this time. Start today by attempting to limit your expanse in life. Correct, redo, be thorough, and avoid obsessing.

27th - Sunday - Moon square Pluto then Saturn. Old conflicts can surface today as we work toward developing new approaches to old problems. We need new methods now as the old ones aren't productive anymore.

28th - Monday - Moon conjunct Venus then trine Jupiter, Venus trine Jupiter. If you can harness the enthusiasm available today, you can make a lot of real progress on things you have been working at for awhile.

29th - Tuesday - Mars semi-square Pluto, Sun square Jupiter. You can be your own worst enemy today. Keep thinking positively and avoid being overly confrontive.

30th - Wednesday- Moon enters Taurus then aspects Pluto Mars, and Uranus. Alterations in previously conceived plans send you off looking for new things today. Be willing to adapt to the flow of life. New things are on the horizon and are shaking your foundations.
