Aquarius Horoscope for April 2014

You are getting both serious and more light regarding your informal education, Aquarius. Your concentrated learning curve is becoming even more intense amidst the context of a year of meaningful change. This is heralded from the very beginning of the month by the advent of even further potent realizations, together with fresh commitment to a sense of your ultimate life purpose. This might actually involve a greater degree of inner work than you ever would have thought possible a few short months ago. Certain aspects of your existing worldview are crumbling while others are coming into greater figure-and-ground relief, all in accordance with a life plan that you breathed into being for yourself, long ago and far away, in quite another corner of the universe, and which yet sustains your efforts here.

As the month begins, you are feeling the impact of the recent New Moon from March 30th that was transformational in its impact. The Sun and Moon at that time, in conjunction with your ruler, Uranus, brought you to being even more fully engaged your steady series of impacts and insights from many weeks back, at least to the beginning of the year. This affects your third solar sector of communication, and thus stimulating your curiosity, your book learning and your mental growth in general, as you continue presenting yourself to the world around you in interesting ways that partake of both inner and outer achievement orientations.

Your style and the content of your communication, both written and spoken, is also truly up for you now, and you will likely transform in your understanding of verbal connection, at least to some extent, through the course of this monthly cycle. This is a huge factor in leading you to the heart of what you are attempting to understand about yourself in the patternings of a powerful year. You may find lately that you are relying more completely on your intuition to guide you, as unexpected enlightenment comes your way from any number of diverse channels. As Robert Hunter put it during the ebullient decade of the sixties, "Once in a while you can get shown the light in the strangest of places, if you look at it right."

You are also focused to some extent on family this month, and on your home base or dwelling place. This is true for this entire lunar cycle in general and becomes even more poignant on the weekend of April 19th and 20th, when the cardinal cross is even more active and when Sun enters this sector of your solar chart. This is therefore an important time for tuning in and for searching out your true motives with regard to family members or with friendship so deep that it feels like family. You might feel the need to proceed with caution in these important matters.

Because Pluto is located in your solar sector of dream imagination and inner work, you have been tuned in some very important ways to the inside of your mind, investigating within your own internal realms how best to approach the metamorphosis that you can so strongly feel coming on in this climactic year of change. More and more, this reliance on your underlying and largely unconscious areas of your psyche has become a significant part of your ongoing mandate for meaningful growth and self-realization. When the transformational surge peaks, after mid-month, you could find yourself rolling up all your forces and energetic layers into an intense ball and putting it across the finish line, in one way or another.
