This April, you play much more.  You will be adored, Aries, and you will have fun. A romantic encounter leaves you breathless. You also see that your psychic instincts have been right all along.

Instead of continuing to plot these extraordinarily dramatic scenarios regarding your main relationships, you concentrate on yourself more. These scenarios may be akin to your mother's dramatic scenarios. That you will be alone for the rest of your life. That your partner's mother disappears. That your significant other fails in some way.

Relationships, as you know, take a lot of work. A lot of work. And you have karmic Saturn in your seventh house of partnerships, cracking the whip.  Testing you. That is why this is happening.

You find yourself pre-occupied with mutual resources - those monies and resources you share with another or others.

Whether it's a colleague at work, your boss, your significant other, or a company that owes you funds, you must work it out. Be creative. Think of imaginative ways to work it out.

You will be so extraordinarily blessed! In your very own sign of Aries and in your first house you have an awesome array of heavenly bodies! Just take a look: the almighty life-giving Sun; your ruler sexy Mars as of Saturday, April 2; lotto lucky Jupiter; brilliant Mercury; revolutionary Uranus; an exciting new Moon on Sunday, April 3; and lovely Venus as of Thursday, April 21.

With so much attention on you and everyone listening to you - although some of your communications may be delayed or blocked due to Mercury retrograde in your sign - it's going to be a rocking time. 

In fact, April will turn out to be one of the most interesting months of your life, dear Aries.

You will be pulled between great extremes - towards a public success and towards a deep private healing.

Fortunately, you find a way to do it all at once!

That's thanks to lucky Jupiter, which is in your sign of Aries. As usual, all the action is happening where you are, Aries! And the truth is, it's INTERESTING action - so you are IN! It is also your Birthday, dear Aries! Happy Birthday! As my first book begins,

"You were born at the beginning of all new life on Earth - spring. You are the pure energy of a flower bursting open and reaching to the Sun.

March 21 is the first day of spring, and your sign is the first sign of the zodiac. See, you are first in everything!"

So, rebirth means a month of purification and transformation. Property and home matters have worked out - you have been driving yourself relentlessly - and now you are ready to step into your new chapter.

No more neglecting yourself. This is part and parcel of your new chapter.

You have fortunate Venus swinging into your twelfth house on Sunday, March 27.

Your twelfth house rules psychological healing and the putting to rest of old demons and fears from the past. As Mercury retrograde brings up the past starting from Wednesday, March 30, this is a great time to say demons be gone! No more plaguing from the past.  

Your secret weapon this April? Act like a Taurus. Keep thinking of the FUTURE. Stay steady and structured. Calm down and keep your eye on the prize.  

Because Mercury is also going retrograde in your first house of self and body, there will be some opportunities for change here this April.

And a ceasing of the difficult changes and challenging transformations in your career and professional standing.

You can play much more as a result, and this is perfect because Mercury retrograde is upon us!

Yes, 'tis the season of Mercury retrograde again - and remember, everyone goes through this - everyone on the planet - so be kind and compassionate to everyone out there.

It is a time to take a break, go zen, play a little. Because, for everyone, no matter how hard you try, business is not as usual.

The hardest thing is to have patience. But with patience, come the rewards!

This all happens for you in your first house of self and body.

For everyone Mercury rules cell phones, as well as land lines, computers, cars, planes - and all thought and movement, including all forms of travel. He likes to go fast - he is the winged messenger who flies.

But he's going to be retrograding the first three weeks of April.

If you are traveling during this time, just relax.

You will be noticing how travel is delayed, phones aren't working properly, and everyone keeps changing times on you.

The official day Mercury goes retrograde is Wednesday, March 30. This lasts - for everyone in the world - until Saturday, April 23.

You need to be aware that you could lose or misplace things - such as your wallet, your phone - cars break down - appointments are forgotten or broken - and the ordered universe generally goes awry.

The good news? It only lasts three weeks!

Mercury particularly affects electronics and any form of travel. Back up your computer files. Mercury rules all forms of communications, including, from the 1940's, computers. Computers go wonky during Mercury retrograde, as do phones, and anything that has to do with communication.

The work you can do?   

RE-trograde means to go backwards. The past becomes very powerful. You can re-examine it. Old people pop up in your life.

A great deal of healing is possible at this time. Mercury, after all, also rules healing.  

Retrograde rules all the RE-words.

See, Aries, which of these REsonate with YOU:

Reduce, recycle, remix, repurpose, recreate, repair, refresh, reinvigorate, refine, redo, reinvent, recommit, refocus, revive, reconnect, reuse, reform, rejoice, re-evaluate, relive, rethink, renew, reorder, regnerate, respect, reactivate, rearrange, reclaim, revisit, relate

Reciprocate

Receive

Reconstruct, revise, re-engage, rewind

Release, recruit, rewrite, respond, reflect, review, relieve, rebound, remember, reward, reface, reassign, reinforce, rework, revere, refuel, regain

Regard, reinterpret, reconsider, re-educate, repeat.

And, finally, RE-lax. It's really the best thing you can do during a Mercury retrograde. Not to get, as the English say, your knickers in a twist, if things don't go according to plan. That's life!

In terms of your Beeg Plans the big picture won't be clear until it is over - Saturday, April 23 (Shakespeare's observed birthday) and then it is completely clear for you to blaze ahead!   

And you will ENJOY. It will be like a racehorse being released. A beauty to behold.
