Major Astrology Events in April 2010
Mercury sextiles Neptune on April 1, 2010
Sky is the limit in terms of what you can achieve during this period, if you push forward with grace, optimism, and tact with respect to initiating new projects. This is a perfect time for devising your long-term strategies. Keep your plans for the day loose and unformulated so that you can introduce changes in schedule based on sudden developments.
Mercury quincunxes Saturn on April 3, 2010; Venus squares Mars on April 3, 2010;
Get your priorities right, and avoid the tendency to build castles in the air because, unless you are shrewd and practical, your castles will come crashing down like a pack of cards blown by a strong draft of air!
There could be a painful two-way pull between the necessity to uphold time-honoured traditions and the need to embrace changing work protocols; try to resolve this intelligently by balancing both the needs and by finding a viable middle-path that embraces the best of both tradition and novelty.
Do not take your loved one for granted….love – like anything else in life – does need constant nurturing with input of time and energies; failure to do can lead to unnecessary stress in relationships.
Venus trines Pluto on April 5, 2010; Mercury squares Mars on April 5, 2010; Mercury trines Pluto on April 6, 2010.
While this period can be good for creative pursuits and matters requiring flamboyant attitudes, it is not exactly good if you need to focus your energies too intensely. Works that require intense concentration are best done in short spurts with adequate intervals thrown in between; absent-minded errors during this period can be costly to you. On the positive side, if you remain alert, you may be able to spot opportunities in disguise and may also be able to get across to powerful persons and enlist their support for your futuristic schemes.
Venus quintiles Neptune on April 9, 2010.
This is a perfect time for creative pursuits, romantic encounters, and for initiating projects that involve collaboration with persons based abroad. Matters pertaining to oceanographic research, metaphysical studies, UFO/ space-related analysis, and holistic healing ideas can progress well under this aspect. Being creative and open-minded is the key to success during this period.
Venus sextiles Jupiter on April 18, 2010; Sun sextiles Neptune on April 18, 2010
This is the time to make the direct approach in all matters and to rise above your usual self-imposed restrictions/ reservations. This is an ideal day for planning your long-term finances in close consultation with loved ones and family members. Causal encounters with influential persons during this period can provide valuable leads for your progress. This is also an ideal day for arranging business meetings in semi-formal surroundings – to discuss crucial issues in a relaxed atmosphere.
Mercury turns retrograde in the 19th degree of sidereal Aries on April 18, 2010
This degree is symbolized as “An old man, dressed in a simple and much worn gown, carrying two bags of gold clasped at his breast with nervous hands.” (vide- La Volas Fera).
This is a degree of acquisitiveness and stinginess.
The general influence of this is a general trend of stinginess and financial wariness – where people may become more tight-fisted than normal. Fear of loss and financial pessimism may prompt people to be too restricted in their ideas and strategies, thereby suffocating the flow of events. The trick now is to break free of such negative mindset and be willing to invest money along wise channels so that the Universal Magic of Money – where money multiplies if it is allowed to flow along the right channels can take over and help to make profits.
A child born during this period should be taught the value of spending money for the right reasons so that the negative mindset related to financial dealings can be overcome by it. Unless and until such a child is trained well in the proper utilization of funds, and to spend for right causes, the child may develop into an individual who might accumulate wealth without any purpose – thereby depriving him/ her of the joys of life. Being thrift is different from being stingy – and this lesson should be taught well to a child born during this period for its own good.
Venus squares Neptune on April 24, 2010; Venus trines Saturn on April 24, 2010; Venus sextiles Uranus on April 24, 2010; Mercury squares Mars on April 25, 2010.
Secret parleys with influential persons behind closed doors or in informal surroundings can prove auspicious for your prospects. You should avoid egoistic considerations while taking crucial business decisions during this period. Be as creative and original as possible in your approach to all matters today – as that could be the key to your success during this period. Though you should be creative and original in your approach, do not give undue importance to sentiments or personal preferences – if they clash with practical requirements; the head rather than the heart should rule your moves during this period.
Saturn opposes Uranus on April 27, 2010
You need to strike a healthy balance between heedless radicalism and mindless conservatism and traverse the golden middle path between those extremes in all your activities today. If you happen to be involved in negotiations during this period, try the strategy of “tactical concessions” where you take the lead in giving “concessions” initially on certain points of debate diplomatically so that you can force the other party to concede on matters that are more vital to you later.
