Editor’s note: These interpretations are meant to be read and pondered by everyone, not just those who share the astrological sign of the current time period. So no matter what your sign, please enjoy and reflect on this universal knowledge. Astrology is the study of psychological symbology; giving certain meanings to certain things, in this case based upon concepts that go back to time immemorial. It is a way of looking at life, at ourselves and the people in our lives. Astrology is one system, one way of interpreting our feelings, thoughts and actions within the larger sphere of existence. This column is based upon what’s termed “planetary transits”... the daily motion of our solar system as seen from Earth. So I give a snapshot of what’s happening in the sky – now – and what that means in astrological terms. As the renowned late astrologist Isabel Hickey once said, “Transits are the day to day positions of the planets. Aries/Taurus
The Sun is in Aries (cardinal, fire) until April 20, when it moves into Taurus (fixed, earth). Aries is the time for action and movement. Taurus is into stability and creating in terms of concrete reality.
Astrological Interpretations by Kyle Stewart Jupiter in Aries and Saturn in Libra continue their opposition through April but by May it’s over and done with as Jupiter moves faster than Saturn. Between April 4 and 7, the Sun in Aries is conjuncting Jupiter and opposing Saturn, highlighting and/or illuminating the push/pull energy that is going on between Jupiter and Saturn. Jupiter wants to go and expand and Saturn wants to stay put and hold everything together. With the Sun conjunct Jupiter, the urge to move may prove stronger – and more brilliant. Move wisely....Saturn may impose restrictions or obstacles to overcome. On April 7, the Sun is conjunct Jupiter in Aries, which means expansion and innovation., and doing BIG things in new ways. The downside is that while Aries is a natural at beginnings, the endings may be overlooked. Aries likes to start things, but not necessarily finish them so this is a great time to start new projects and implement new ideas. Taurus, on the other hand, after April 20, is great at manifesting on the physical plane and completing what was begun. On April 4, Mars is conjunct Uranus at one degree Aries. This is a real powerhouse of energy and creative expression. Mars is our physical energy…the urge towards action. Uranus is unpredictable (earthquakes) happenings and cir-
cumstances. It’s also a freeing of energy to explore new ideas, avenues, and ways of being. And Aries is new beginnings. If there ever was a time to do anything, or begin anything, this may be it. Strange compulsions, however, including a desire to act....to create...to manifest. There’s a certain instability, but a great fire. Venus is also conjunct Uranus at two degrees Aries on April 23. Venus is the principle of attraction and Uranus is the only planet that rotates at an 86-degree angle to the Sun, representing deviation from the normal, and new ways of looking at things. Together, this is a mix of excitement and originality with new ways of financing, perhaps, different values and odd attractions. Mars is in opposition to Saturn on April 18 with Mars at 12 degrees Aries and Saturn at 12 Libra. Be careful handling relationships, especially with older people. There may be a certain underlying frustration that bubbles up between people. The best response is as mature as you can get right now. Put on your Big Boy boots, as they say.
