APRIL 2004 by Bob Mulligan

All but the first week of April has a Retrograde Mercury refocusing us on things we have been doing. The New Moon on the 19th is a partial eclipse which just hammers down the point that we can’t really move forward without cleaning up the past. Luckily, we have the opportunity to do this right now.

Seldom do we get a chance with cosmic energies to promote optimistic and forward looking ideas while sorting through very mundane matters. We find new ideas from getting a new perspective. We spend a lot of time now examining the results of past action and discover many previously unrecognized items of interest embedded in our most basic habits. This is a time of self examination.

1st – Thursday – Mercury Contra-Parallel Pluto- We snap our fingers and a solution to old problems appears quite suddenly.

2nd – Friday – Mars Parallel Saturn- Steady hands are able to accomplish alot today.

3rd - Saturday – Venus enters Gemini - We enter a new arena. Life gets easier.

4th – Sunday – Daylight Savings Time begins. Sun Sextile Neptune- We can find a way to help everyone benefit from our own personal progress.

5th – Monday – The Full Moon is at 7:03am EDT, then Mercury Semi-sextile Venus- Consolidate gains today and be prepared for some retrenching.

6th – Tuesday – Mars Square Jupiter, then Mercury turns Retrograde- We are tempted to give a final push before digging in to the long review process.

7th – Wednesday – The mood is serious, perhaps even heavy. But we do have a great deal of latitude to bring important discussions to the forefront.

8th-Thursday- Traveling, excitement, and far away places stimulate the imagination.

9th – Friday – Venus Square Uranus, then Sun Semi-Square Uranus- It’s a really nervous day. Life is fast paced and we see things that we care about being swept away. Dig in and be patient and try not to be nervous.

10th – Saturday – Communication along a most practical line is very favored today. Business and basic concerns take precedent over personal life.

11th - Sunday – Sun Trine Pluto, Venus Semi-sextile Saturn, Mercury Contra-parallel Pluto- Personal initiative is required to make progress today. The good news is the progress is real, the difficulty is that it may take us a long time to see results in our personal lives.

12th – Monday – Mercury Retrogrades back into Aries, Sun Semi-square Venus- Deja Vu all over again. We are looking for a new way. Self assertion is tricky.

13th – Tuesday – Sun Parallel Jupiter, Mercury Semi-square Mars, Mars Trine Neptune, Sun Sesquiquadrate Jupiter- This is a very active and positive day. Inspiration abounds. People want to be inspired today. Lead with positive thoughts and attitudes and much can be accomplished quickly. Be aware that over-extension can still get you into trouble.

14th – Wednesday – Venus Square Jupiter- If you are moving forward, you’re probably in trouble. Back up. So much of what you have been doing will have missed your eye. Now is the time to correct past errors.

15th – Thursday – Sun Contra-parallel Uranus- A certain rebelliousness can help us break old habits, but be aware that uncharted territory brings risk.

16th– Friday – Sun Conjunct Mercury - We are starting a new mental cycle, period. Either you change with the times right now or you will suffer. The good news is that we have lots of opportunity now to undo past mistakes.

17th – Saturday – Mercury Semi-sextile Venus- If you are able to learn something new today, you have used the events of the day wisely.

18th – Sunday - Sun Parallel Mercury- Enthusiasm and determination carry us toward a goal now.

19th – Monday – New Moon at 9:21am EDT, at 29 degrees of Aries- This is a partial eclipse. This is a great time to meditate on world harmony. In prayers we might ask to be forgiven for our past actions in thought words and deeds. Shortly after this event, the Sun crosses into Taurus.

20th – Tuesday – A day of decisions. Now is the time to find a compromise between our conservative and liberal choices.

21st – Wednesday – Mercury Contra-parallel Uranus, Mercury Sesquiquadrate Jupiter, Venus Trine Neptune- Lots can be accomplished very quickly by using unconventional methods.

22nd – Thursday -Mercury Parallel Jupiter- This is a great day for pushing us beyond our limits.

23rd – Friday – It’s a romantic yet stormy day. Say the right things and you can keep everyone in the conversation.

24th – Saturday – Mars opposite Pluto, Mercury Sextile Mars- We have lots of controversy and potential violence swilling around. Well chosen words move us in the right direction.

25th – Sunday – Sun Sextile Uranus, Mercury Trine Pluto- An unbelievably positive day. New energy, new ideas, a planned attack on the mediocre brings us to a wonderful new place.

26th – Monday – Sun Sesquiquadrate Pluto- Sudden disagreements can make today contentious. The real problem may be a crises of values.

27th - Tuesday – Some frustration emerges over how much time and energy to invest in trying to resolve conflicts. We are caught between two good things and can’t do both. Our conservative impulses seem to be stronger in the moment. But remember, the world is changing.

28th – Wednesday – Sun Contra-parallel Pluto, Sun Sextile Saturn, Sun Trine Jupiter- We have the opportunity to get some real work done on some basic work related areas of our lives. Be cheerful and practical.

29th – Thursday – We may feel like we are working very hard today. However, it is a time of being able to find inner peace through our efforts.

30th – Friday – Mercury Semi-sextile Uranus, Mercury turns direct, Mercury Sextile Venus, Sun Semi-square Mars - We can harness all our mental nervousness and focus it on immediate gains. Long term resolutions for major difficulties are within reach.
