Cancer

April 2012 Horoscopes for Cancer

April starts with a big push in communication. Venus the planet of beauty, luxury and the arts enters the sign of Gemini, the sign of communication.

Mercury has being retrograde since March 12, but now it goes DIRECT.
And don’t forget Mars has being retrograde since January 23rd, remember?  It is also direct this month!

So it sounds like a blessing for all kinds of communications on our planet. Now we will see the events and projects developing and going back to their normal speed.
That important document that has being lost will finally reach you; it was sent to the wrong address….
Now you can buy a new computer, you can schedule a trip and you can sign that important contract.

I especially love April because it’s when the trees in the northern hemisphere start to bloom, the weather gets warmer and we can enjoy life outdoors.  This particular April is going to be even better thanks to the direct movement of the two planets Mercury and Mars; we will move from slow motion to fast speed.

Pluto will start to retrograde, but not like Mercury retrograde; Pluto retrogrades inwards, and we just tend to be more introspective, facing our fears and being ready for an inward transformation.

Buckle up and get ready for April! The action will be in your career sector dear Cancer so get your projects revised up to the 3rd. finish them by the 18th and then work harder  for the next 20 days (Until May 9th)

Venus enters the sign of Gemini, the sign of the butterfly, seeking flavors of fun, flirtation and diversity on April 3rd. 
At this time, we want experiment with new forms of art and beauty.
But faithfulness may not be the priority; being entertaining is more important than being sincere. Our hearts will be pulled in several directions. If you want to conquer someone’s heart… be interesting and well informed.

Gemini is the sign of new trends in fashion, so it’s a good time to do some spring shopping, to buy a piece of artwork or to change your hairstyle, but only until May 15th…

Venus will be spending some time in your area of the subconscious mind… the hidden area of your astrological chart. It means that you may not be too open to socialize at this time and some of you may develop a ‘secret passion’ for someone unavailable to you, or you may be the unavailable one, but may feel tempted to cross the line. You can always experiment with whatever you want dear Cancer, so long as you are aware of the consequences. But before you make a mistake, think about it: What is your priority? If you hurt someone you love you risk losing him or her…  Reflect on that and take control of this ‘temptation’ before it gets too out of control… if your significant other really matters to you… 
This temptation can manifest on the 4th!

Venus stays in Gemini for a long time, until August 7th (usually Venus remains in one sign for 25 to 30 days) because in May the goddess of love and grace is also taking some time off… she will go retrograde until June 27th in Gemini.
Brides-to-be: don’t set your wedding date with Venus retrograde or your may regret it later… or worse the groom never shows up for the big day!
Don’t even think about getting a beauty procedure at this time either.
Some of us may bump into an old ‘ex’ and the flame may rekindle…

Let me clarify all of this.
From April 4th to May 15th you are free to do anything related to beauty, love, (wedding), shopping, beauty transformation and whatever your imagination dictates.
But after May 15th and until June 27th, RED FLAG! Venus will be retrograde.

From June 27th to August 7th you are allowed to schedule again any and everything related to Venus.

Venus will be highlighted during the summertime; in June she is producing a very special Eclipse, an event that happens only once every 122 years! I will explain it in details and how to be receptive for this event in the June horoscopes.

On the 4th, Mercury goes direct! God bless us all!
Share your experiences with Mercury retrograde on my blog or on Facebook.
Now projects get off the ground and we are ready to making new connections. No more delays!
Now we can put the messy past behind us.

Now you can plan that trip!
Mercury is soon going to speed into your area of career, and it’s going to be a fast visit, so have all your projects revised and ready to be implemented or launched on the 18th, but you have only 20 days to use this energy. For instance, show a screenplay to a producer, or show a business project to your boss or launch a book, or any specific project you have in mind during these days; it can turn out to be a smashing success.

The full moon in Libra is on April 6th at 3:19 AM (Eastern Time).
This is a time to balance giving too much to others, undermining our own interests with compromises, and being responsible for our relationships and partnerships.

This is not a fun full moon but a call to remember our responsibilities and duties to one another. Saturn will be next to the moon, and the Sun opposing Saturn will be squaring Pluto. Observe in your chart where this full moon will be shinning because this is the area where you need to face reality and transform old patterns into new ways of expression.

The full moon is a call to take care of family matters and issues you have been neglecting. And family is important to you, we all know that, but it looks like your career needs your attention as well right now, and some of you are already connecting with the right people; some of you could be involved with celebrities or become THE CELEBRITY yourself! You are in the spotlight dear Cancer, you are shinning on the stage of life (or on a theater’s stage) but try to balance and give some attention to your dearest ones, because during this full moon you are not allowed to make mistakes, you’ll have to balance both subjects equally.

This full moon has your name on it, because it is in the area ruled by your ruler the moon…. I know it sounds confusing, but just follow my advice; leave the theories aside if astrology is not your field.

On April 10th, Pluto starts to retrograde, until September 18th driving our desires and power underground. This almost five-month retrograde cycle provides an opportunity to find out what are our real needs and what is ripe to be transformed in order to have the best growth.
Pluto is retrograding in your area of marriage, and committed relationships, so it’s time to reevaluate what your significant one represents to you.

On April 13th, Mars ends its retrograde period, which began on January 23rd. We will experience a much faster pace relating to our work projects and decision making. Mars is the ruler of action, energy and sex. Rage and war as well.
This is a good time to travel and to communicate with cousins and siblings; your communication skill is at its best.
Your power of communication will be enhanced. You feel more like speaking up and being objective.

Mercury in revolutionary Aries helps get projects off the ground from the 16th until May 9th. This is a special “entree” of Mercury in Aries because it is happening right after Mercury retrogrades, so we feel like communication, travel and the world of gadgets go from slow motion to super fast speed.
There will suddenly be a rush to say what has been left unsaid… for many reasons.
It’s the perfect time to sign a contract, be it property related, business related or a marital contract.
Roll up your sleeves dear Cancer and get the job done, whatever the process is, now is the time to communicate your message, be it in the form of a work project or in the form of an idea. You may sign an amazing contract at this time or make a big sale if this is your field.

On the 19th, the Sun enters the practical and stabilizing Taurus.
It’s a time to put our feet on the ground and plant the seed of the project you want to tackle in the next months.
It’s a time to learn patience and persistence and also to make your wish board dear Cancer. Have fun making it! Place the pictures of the things you wish will happen, write affirmations like: “I want to be in an Oliver Stone movie,” “I want to find the love of my life,” or, “I want him or her to be… this and that.” “I want to make one million dollars this year” or, “I want to have a baby” and don’t be cheap in asking for your wishes…. because the universe shall give you what you ask.

The new moon will be rising on the 21st, at 3:19 AM (Eastern Time) at the very first degree of Taurus making beautiful aspects to Pluto, Neptune and Mars, initiating a moment to take action, to move forward, follow our intuition, and plant the first seeds of our upcoming projects.
This is the exact day you want to make your wishes to the universe. You feel renovated and in the right place during this new moon. Your ruler, the moon is in great aspect with Mars, Pluto and Neptune; that’s just the energy you need to get your life moving into a new direction, into a much better place.

This lunation supportive trine from Pluto proposes a call to transform and eliminate nonessential attitudes, activities and behaviors balancing the bull’s tendency to resist change.
It’s a time for physical pleasure and to reconnection with our five senses, but with the input of Neptune, to our 6th sense as well.

On the 26th you start a new monthly cycle; it’s a perfect day for you to start a new diet or a new activity. It’s a five star day for you dear Cancer.

On April 28th, you have the power to transform your relationship into a lovely, heightened intimacy; you and your significant one will feel attached and stronger than ever.

Have an amazing April! Plant the seed of love in your heart!
