April Horoscopes

by Henry Seltzer

Capricorn Horoscope (December 22 - January 19)
Cardinal Earth. Your ruling planet is Saturn.

Your times they are a'changing Capricorn, once again. Your transformation continues apace in the current month, and in this period involves some serious rethinking of your public presence in the world and how you come across to others around you. Home and family concerns are also on the front burner at this time and help you to further refine and define your position. Your values are in flux, and subject to some deep concerns, as illusion and also confusion interfere with a dry and logical approach that has always worked in the past. You are coming into a new way of seeing your world that takes Spirit as its guiding light, and a series of potentially trying realizations lose the pain of their impact once you accept this as basic.

As the month begins, your life is more in flux than ever, in spite of recent attempts at stabilization. You are feeling the transformational possibilities for yourself quite strongly these days in the wake of the Aries New Moon from the last week of March. With Venus retrograde as well, relationships too have their season of metamorphosis right now, particularly so in terms of family ties that may be strained. If so, this is a good time to watch and wait, and not to try to make things happen in any particular fashion, or to rock the boat any further. The First Quarter Moon of Thursday, April 2nd, provides greater momentary tension that could serve you as the catalyst for changes in your own future best interest. You may find that perspective shifts will be to your advantage right now, and also communicating your truth to friends. This outreach bears fruit with the Full Moon of the following week, taking place on Thursday, April 9th. This is a time when a fundamental sense of optimism pervades your being, along with the remaining tensions of reinventing yourself and your worldview, and helps you weather the storm of circumstance. You are feeling the energy of a new phase, even as you consolidate your position. The Last Quarter Moon of Friday, April 17th, in your sign is in some sense a preparation for further expansion, but by means of reigning in some factor of your existing are of development that doesn't prove to be a fit. This is a bit like pruning a rose bush before the advent of the next growth spurt, increasing the opportunity for re-blossoming. You may find that you have some habitual behaviors to contend with at this time, perhaps the result of ancient wounds from early childhood. You gain in integrated self-sufficiency the more that you can face these old patterns and recognize their influence but not their power to compel you. With a modicum of surrender and giving over to grace you can find the wisdom to respond with thoughtful evaluation rather than reactivity. The New Moon of the following week, taking place on Friday, April 24th, represents a fresh start on finding yourself anew, and for enjoying the increasing sense of wholeness that is there for you to discover inside.
