Monthly Astrological Forecast: Capricorn

April 2013 Overview

Shifting Sands
Capricorn April Horoscope

by Jeff Jawer

The earth shifts beneath your feet this month, causing you to question the life path you've chosen. April begins with four planets, including volatile Uranus, moving through restless Aries and your 4th House of Foundations, stirring up excitement on the home front. The ardent Aries New Moon on April 10 energizes your domestic 4th House and shifts your concerns away from work so you can spend more time with your family.

An anxious Uranus-Saturn quincunx highlights your 11th House of Community on April 12, pitting your need for freedom against the restrictions of social and professional obligations. This destabilizing aspect is the second in a series of three that began on November 15, 2012, and will recur on October 5. Instead of waiting for Uranus the Awakener to reveal a problem you've been avoiding, consider what adjustments you can make now to ease unexpressed tension before it reaches a breaking point.

You can recover your sense of control by letting others know what you want when three planets move into unambiguous Taurus and your 5th House of Self-Expression: Affectionate Venus leads the shift on April 15, followed by the Sun on April 19 and insistent Mars on April 20.

Instead of withdrawing into the privacy of your inner world, seek creative and playful ways to show others what's really in your heart. But it's not all fun and games when the inflexible Scorpio Full Moon Eclipse on April 25 conjuncts somber Saturn in your futuristic 11th House, testing your commitment to going the distance in pursuit of your goals. Paradoxically, recognizing your limitations gives you the freedom to accomplish even more than you expect. —Tarot.com

Lunar Eclipse April 25 2013

laraowen

As eclipses go, in astronomical terms this is a short (27 minutes) and minor (covering only a sliver of the Moon) version. But still, to astrologers, eclipses rank highly as indicators of disturbance and change, so we pay it due attention. Especially when the chart is strong, as it is this time, with either end [...]

So, things are a tad crazy in this dear old world of ours, especially for people who live on the Eastern seaboard of the US and the Boston region in particular.
