Moon entices Venus & Pluto; Mars Opposes Saturn: A Turning Point for Some; A wake-up Call for Many!

You may be making an about face-turn on some issue, situation, or circumstance with yourself and the people around you. Your love-life may play a big part of the equation as the Moon tickles Venus in "Beauty-Loving" Taurus and teases "Transformational" Pluto in "Ambitious" Capricorn.  You may want to dig in on a matter at hand and see just how someone feels about you or have a yearning desire for something very different in your life. Feelings may get a little intense and suppressed feelings can be transformed into compulsive actions all around, so it may be a good time to question motives before lunging forward. If you step forward carefully, you can keep your feet firmly planted on the ground.  Late tonight, just after midnight, the "Warrior Planet" Mars "opposes Saturn in "Relentless" Scorpio encouraging power-plays, problems with authority figures and trouble all around. Finance and security issues may be a sticking point. Your best course of action is to steer around the collision rather then heading straight into opposition. When change is inevitable, there's always a few feathers that get ruffled along the way. Knowing what you want and moving on to procure it is the opportunity of the day, and what you fall into now may be just the chance you've been waiting for. Separating the wheat from the shaft and deciphering what's best for you in the long run is the direction you want to head. If you can, sharing goals and deciding to mutually go for it will be the best of all possible worlds for everybody, with a minimum of conflict resulting later. Avoid negative people and situations during this time.

Powerful New Moon stimulates Mars & Venus! Time to Re-awaken your Love Life!

This first New Moon of the astrological year holds a robust energy and powerful key to stimulating your body, mind and spirit into taking on new directions in life. The New Moon in Aries joins both Mars & Venus, all in the sign of Aries. This is fertile soil for a new relationship or to reawaken an old one. A sign of action, initiation, impulse and making things happen, Aries gets the passion and fire established in each one of us. It's sort of like having an engine with a lot of thrust or a peppy first gear! Sharing with others is fine, but it's leadership that is the primary factor.  If your lover is non-responsive, do something new, unusual for yourself. Don't let them allow you to fall into misery during this time. Take the bull by the horns and take charge of your life! Don't allow others to overstep boundaries or walk on you like a doormat - You (and only you) are the co-creator of your reality.....And NOW is the time to do something different for YOU! Harnessing this powerful universal energy to your advantage now will recharge your aura allowing you to radiate from being AND it will ignite your fire! Those around you will see and feel the difference in you and these small yet monumental transformation of thy self will allow you to shine like a beacon of light! Tonight, as the Moon enters Taurus, stabilizing and grounding the energy and your plans, then you can really begin to think and act on your plans. Start today carrying out your mission. Plan methodologically but also use your intuition to guide you to the next level. Sometimes "spontaneity" has a big pay off! Too much planning and you may never get where you are going. Whether it's move to a different place, a new social hang out, a new organization, or new friend or lover, what matters now is that you get out there and do something different! The New Moon goes into the 1rst quarter moon tomorrow and lasts until Thursday, April 18th, making this week a powerful one for the remaining of the upcoming year. What you do right now and in the coming days counts right now more than ever. If sudden acceleration isn't your thing, don't pull a muscle trying to sprint, because those who try too hard will find themselves flagging and out of steam all too soon. Being the leader of the pack in the first furlong often means you won't stay there, but impressive starts can make the rest of the run easy if you've got what it takes. Take the initiative, or at least ride the slipstream of the next ahead of you.

People who you thought had a conservative streak may suddenly let their hair down and and the oddballs may not seem so offbeat!
