SPRING FORWARD

By Cheney Hall

The new moon in Aries on April 1st is an excellent time to begin new projects. Spring brings beginnings on many levels. Jupiter turns direct on the 3rd. Time for you Sagittarians to move forward and act on what the Universe has enlightened you with since December. For all of us, it's time to use that understanding and awareness concerning our beliefs, philosophies and values we have been reviewing inwardly. We probably have discovered something that needs to be changed in order to make ourselves and society move towards a more peaceful existence. Mercury glides into Taurus on the 5th. Our thinking becomes more practical and conservative. Daylight savings time begins the 6th –  spring forward! The full moon on the 16th brings awareness of our need to be more cooperative and create balance and harmony. The Sun moves into earthy, physical and stable Taurus on the 20th as we pursue our needs to be resourceful and productive. The 21st is a double planetary energy shift day. Venus enters impulsive Aries making us expressive and enthusiastic in love, and Mars blazes into Aquarius giving us a progressive energy that wants to be innovative, original, and create some kind of social change. The Universe delivers its April fool joke on the 26th – Mercury turns retrograde until May 20th. Matters of love, security and possessions may become issues along with the usual mishaps that occur – keep your sense of humor!

Aries (March 20th - April 20th)
Happy Birthday, you pioneering, innovative and daring Rams! This is your time of year to use your confident and courageous energy to move yourself forward. Be careful on the career front. You might have the tendency to step on others' toes. Why not pour some of that extra energy into finding a group or organization to join? Investments or speculations may pay off after the 3rd.  Partnership/relationship issues may be enlightened on the 16th. After the 21st, Venusian energy softens your personality. Make major purchases before the 26th or you might develop buyer's remorse! Have you felt the need to confront your hidden self to gain more mastery and control over who you are as a person?

Taurus (April 20th - May 21st)
In a way, your 'year' is ending. It's a good time to review what has transpired. Meditation will help you process this information. You may be involved with behind-the-scenes adventures.

Work or health issues may need addressing on the 16th. After the 21st, you may decide it's time to take charge of your life purpose. Pursue professional goals energetically but tactfully. Charitable activities feed your soul this month. Have you discovered your peer group is suddenly beginning to change?

Gemini (May 21st - June 21st)
Group activities require your physical and mental energy. It's time to express your creative ability and individuality in your professional life. Others will embrace it. There could be a reward of some kind. Has there has been a radical change in your career recently? Contacts in your immediate environment expand after the 3rd. The 16th brings awareness to some creative project or perhaps a romantic involvement. After the 20th, you could find yourself needing more time to withdraw, retreat and contemplate. Friends and group associates lend more emotional support after the 21st. Spending most of the month determining what you are truly made of gives way to an urge to expand your horizons. New experiences will rejuvenate your spirits.

Cancer (June 21st- July 21st)
Career and group activities share the spotlight. You'll be communicating a lot in both areas. You could find your income expanding or discover you've over-extended yourself after the 3rd. The 16th may bring enlightenment to issues concerning safety, security or the home front. Towards the end of the month, there is a possibility of recognition – i.e. a promotion and/or a raise – in your professional life. Partnership/relationship issues quiet down after the 21st. You begin to crave intense experiences to find out who's really inside. You're beginning to stretch your consciousness in ways you've never dreamed of as you embark on a unique new  learning adventure. Keep an open mind!

Leo (July 23rd -  August 23rd)
