Use Your Brakes!
03/30/2009 – 04/05/2009
The Venus square Pluto on April 3 begins an intense week when you’ll be challenged to confront relationship issues. Then Pluto turns retrograde the following day on April 4, adding to the intensity. Mars opposes rule-maker Saturn also on April 4, asking you to stop and assess what you’re doing before you take another step.
April 3: Venus squares Pluto
Relationships are challenged as retrograde Venus returns to square Pluto a day before Pluto turns direct. Venus squared Pluto for the first time in this series on February 5. Venus rules love; Pluto rules transformation. Let go of old relationship values that don’t fit you any more, and don’t be afraid of intense conversations! The air needs to be cleared before you can proceed.
April 4: Pluto turns retrograde
Pluto turns retrograde in ambitious Capricorn, prompting you to transform your life in order to make achievements. While the world-at-large is focused on taking broken systems and making them work, examine the systems in your own life. What need a serious rehab? You have until September 11 when Pluto turns direct to get your life on a good successful track.
April 4: Mars opposite Saturn
Mars is the planet of action and movement, and when traveling through Pisces, your life dreams are featured. Saturn represents the rule-maker and has a message: how you build is just as important as what you build. Saturn’s message in practical Virgo is that slowing down and being extra careful is important now. Assess your plans and activities. Some doors will close, which gives you a chance to take stock of where you are … and who you are. Maturity is the magic key that will unlock some of those doors.
