APRIL/MAY 2012

ARIES (Mar 21 – Apr 20)
The Sun is fueling you with selfconfidence. Mars goes direct, shifting you from a temporary bout of naval-gazing, into forward motion. The time spent in self-reflection has been important. It has brought you more into alignment with your nature. Fire up your engines!

TAURUS (Apr 21 – May 20)
Venus moves into Gemini, aerating your earth. The soil needs lightness and oxygen to help things grow. You need a few crazy ideas germinating in your brain, to tickle your fancy and get you dancing. Be full of wonder. See the world afresh; as if through the eyes of a child.

GEMINI (May 21 – June 21)
As others take one step, you take three. Your latest creative endeavor moves from gestation, to birth, to establishing strength, to flowering. Remember always that there is only creativity when you are willing to look at yourself and the world directly. Remove all filters.

CANCER (June 22 – Jul 22)
Journey towards centering. Centering has to be dynamic and alive to be real. Simply trying to stop all movement is not going to work, even in the name of spirituality. As you dance and sway on the tightrope, so a different kind of stillness arises. Be the centre and the storm.

LEO (Jul 23 – Aug 22)
With the Sun beginning its journey in Aries, so you are pushed from within to instigate new projects, new adventures, new relationships. This involves jumping past that ripple of fear in your stomach which could easily lead you to talking yourself out of taking chances.

VIRGO (Aug 23 – Sept 22)
Mars, the planetary patron saint of ‘will’, goes direct. This means that any wobbles you might have been having, or any second-guessing you have been engaged in, are over. Get on your horse and ride. There is no need to impose your will. Instead, invite it gently to arise.

LIBRA (Sept 23 – Oct 23)
Saturn goes direct. All the time he has been retrograde, he has been pulling on your reins and preventing you from entering into a gallop. Restraint has by now served its educative purpose. Trust whatever wisdom you have accumulated. Be steady, clear and strong.

SCORPIO (Oct 24 – Nov 21)
Pluto goes retrograde. This heralds a time when it’s best to hold your plans lightly, because they may well prove to be out of alignment with the cosmic plan. Understand the beauty of interdependence. Gear contracts towards the goal of deepening co-operation.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
Having to be meticulous has been driving you bananas. It has also deepened your skills. New-found competence leads to new-found confidence. As your confidence rises, so you become able to take creative risks. Go to where there are both nerves and excitement.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
As Saturn goes direct, so you get the feeling that you have traction. Practical matters might not be resolving in quite the way a pragmatic soul such as yourself would envisage - but strangely life is becoming more beautiful. Expand your sense of possibilities to embrace this.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20 – Feb 18)
Freedom isn’t just calling; it’s banging on the door. It will require awareness to liberate yourself. If you ignore the call, it will just bang harder. If you fight against whatever is restraining you, you will tie the knots tighter. Be relaxed and aware – then slip out like Houdini.

PISCES (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
With Neptune now well into Pisces, your depths just got deeper. There are two fish in Pisces. One is swimming towards the comforts of deep sleep. The other is swimming towards feeling at home in the pure luminescence of conscious awakening. Wish is will. Wish well.
