Aries Horoscope for April 2015

This is another climactic month for you, Aries, when many things come together. You have been riding the wave of transformation for many months, feeling the ultimate implications although perhaps unaware of specifics, heading for a hazy future. You are suddenly taking up the reigns in a more purposeful manner. You find support from allowing in the viewpoint of significant persons in your life, appearing as either mentors or as foils for your emerging position. Partners might thus provide a conceptual framework that enables you to more fully visualize your own. Your transformation is still in process, of that you can be sure, and with new stage you are getting more seriously committed to making only those changes that truly matter to you, deep down, and that will bring you into closer alignment with your soul intention.

As the month begins, you are simultaneously enjoying a sense of pleasure and familiarity from the yearly event of the Sun in your own sign, which has been the case since the Spring Equinox of March 20th, which was coincident with a solar eclipse in the last degree of Pisces. You are therefore also feeling the tidal pull of the undercurrent from your deep unconscious process, which is very well developed in the midst of what could thus turn out to be quite a paradoxical April. You are pulled as well to both cynical realism and a wild excess of optimism, and although these can operate simultaneously, even in the same situation perhaps, they do not easily mix together. You have to almost compartmentalize your personality to get the benefit of each of these conflicting attitudes. This is explained astrologically by the contrast of Saturn and Jupiter, both prominent in different areas of your solar chart, and by a monthly cycle that is dominated by planets placed in your sign but which nevertheless began with the Sun and Moon in the late stages of Pisces, carrying a symbolism that is antithetical to the up front and straightforward approach that your Fire favors.

Because Uranus and Pluto, still in square alignment after the seventh of seven exact hits last month, are featured in the current configurations, as in recent months, this lunar cycle is therefore once again powerfully transformational for you. Your ruling planet, Mars, is in also close contraparallel with Neptune at the timing of New Moon. This is an indication of the sensitivity that you currently possess to investigate the depths of your own being. Much that has been lingering in the darkness is coming to the light, and you could feel a sense of yourself maturing and evolving as you learn more and more to honor this process. Saturn's presence is strong this month as well, and can trigger within you a sense that while you typically have the urge to forge ahead and overcome obstacles, the lesson for you now might lie in exercising discretion and choosing your battles wisely.

Your vitality is extra-potent as the cycle begins, and yet by the time the first weekend rolls around, with the lunar eclipse in your opposite sign, there is an indication you may experience a strong focus that is also curbing of your progress, in regard to aspects of the manifested realm of security concerns. You could grow to feel frustrated with some aspect of this area of your life, and this could lead to making important changes in the way that you handle your finances. If you are short of money you might be able to succeed in tightening your belt, and if your values seem not to match your inner guidelines than you might find a way to work at making them so.

Positive and forward-looking Jupiter is also quite prominent this month, and you are likely to be feeling stronger in the realm of your creative expression. Not only are you expanding to new and highly individualized ways of putting yourself across, you are also finding that your awareness has a metaphoric golden touch; when you just cast your gaze in a particular direction, there you could find beautifully innovative and unique realizations blossom like magic before you.

Although with your heightened sense of individuality of your sign you may typically feel somewhat challenged or disoriented by what comes at you from the realm of 'other,' in personal partnership, or as you relate to those you find in your professional sphere, further growth and evolution is at hand that springs directly from interpersonal relationship. This month represents an opportunity for you to find the sweet spot between following your own uniquely keen and vibrant notion of what it is you need and desire, while yet keeping a finger or two on the pulse of others' wants and needs as well, which not only makes you more available for relationship but also increases your ability to feel into yourself at the deeper layers of your being.
