Daily Lunar Horoscope Forecast for Saturday 5th of April 2008
(Date and Times are based on Mountain Daylight Time.
Look at
Denver at The World Clock - Time Zones
to see what time it
is now where we are.)
From 2:25
AM:
Heart and mind unite now in a mood of self-assertion,
self-confidence, and courage. You feel totally committed to the goals
you have set ... and ready to do whatever it takes to make them happen
your way!! This dynamic, eager combination only happens about
once a year ... and sometimes it misses even then. So follow the
familiar advice that tells you to strike while the iron is hot.
From 3:46 PM:
You feel
restless, aggressive, irritable ... and a ton of work facing you at
home, and equally abrasive attitudes from family members don't offer
much comfort at all.
From 9:55 PM:
The New Moon
in Aries is a double dose of drive, assertiveness, ambition, enterprise,
and the dynamic desire to start something new, do something bold, and
take risks that might have been overwhelming or even foolish until now.
This is, in many ways, the launching point of action and development for
what will unfold over the next year, so plan your shots carefully and
aim high.

Pluto Retrograde
April 2 through September 8
Well, Pluto has turned retrograde.
It will be that way until September 8.

Pluto will back into Sagittarius for a while, to tidy
up some dangling ends, evidently, before returning to Capricorn ... this
time to stay about 15 years. Pluto's progress through the Zodiac depicts
long, long, long segments of change, evolution and adjustment. It
can describe events and conditions that are highly uncomfortable ...
pointing out the pieces of life that need to be discarded, improved or
replaced. It can mark its passage in moments of extraordinary chaos and
upset ... calling for reconstruction essentially from Square One when it
finally gets done with the demolition. But usually its work is more
subtle -- but still implacable -- as it discards what is used up and
inappropriate, recycles what can be salvaged and refines what it can
improve.
Pluto certainly brings changes to individual lives
... especially if you have Natal planets being jangled by its passage,
but they are often shifts that happen over 2 - 7 years, building so
slowly you may need even more time and perspective to really get a fix
on what all took place. It can be hard to see the transformations "as
they occur" ... because you're too close to the action -- and maybe too
busy just trying to keep up with the day-to-day necessities of living
life and trying to stay afloat.
But from a distance and in retrospect, you start to
appreciate the massive adjustments and course corrections that did
arrive ... in the background and under the surface. The very contours of
your life may be altered by Pluto's passage in the affairs of the house
it's traveling through, but it can take a while to see the whole
picture.
So ... right now, Pluto in retrograde is grinding
back and forth over the degrees of 28 and 29 Sagittarius ... and 0 and 1
Capricorn. (Astrology operates on a continuum, remember. The end of one
sign merges pretty seamlessly into the beginning of the next.) It
continues to describe huge social changes and greater awareness of
"stuff that needs fixing" in the areas of law and religion (Sagittarius
concerns) ... and even now, you can see some of the landscape it's
setting its sights on for "attention" in the next decade and a half.
Government and big business ... institutionalized structures ...
Capricorn's interests.
Pluto in retrograde, even if you have affected
planets, may not "do much" out in the open for a while. It's setting
things up for when it goes direct again ... and if this is one of
multiple passages of this planet over sensitive points in your chart,
you're in for "more" of what you've already worked with, as new
invitations, greater pressures and the closure of old situations push
you forward into different arrangements
It will be retrograde until early September, and day
to day, you may not notice much, but the start of 2009 will be more
interesting because of what happens 'tween here and there. If you have
Natal points near 28-29° of Aries, Leo, Libra, Sagittarius or
Aquarius ... or near 0° of Taurus, Virgo, Scorpio, Capricorn or
Pisces ... this period marks a time when life sets up some very nice
goodies for you to claim -- and use -- and enjoy in the coming months
and years, changes and improvements you can really capitalize on nicely
because they work so well with your native character and values.
If you have Natal points near 28-29° of Virgo or
Pisces ... or 0-1° of Aries or Libra ... the renovations taking
place are far less comfortable ... because they're monkeying with
structures you rely on for "stability." Things like home, family, living
arrangements, career, status and professional standing. Usually people
would just as soon those not be targeted for massive overhaul. (But,
keep reminding yourself ... things will be better when the work's
finally done!!)
If you have Natal points near 28-29° of Gemini
... or 0-1° of Cancer ... "other people" -- and the changes in them
and the changes they bring into your world -- set the stage on which
your life's drama will unfold for a while. The discomfort here can seem
more unwelcome because it looks like other people are in charge of
decisions that are causing you massive upset and inconvenience.
Again, not the sort of situation you want to have deposited on your
porch. Still, you'll learn a thing or two about dealing with crises and
power struggles before this is over. The good news? It will someday be
over!
So ... which house in your Natal Chart holds these
degrees where Pluto is kicking up sand and rearranging the furniture to
suit its future plans? That's where you'll feel a change in the activity
levels for a while.

Need a hint?
Here are the forecasts for Pluto's position
for all the Zodiac signs -- and a little treat, too.

A reminder
If you have Mercury in Pisces in your Natal Chart
the audio presentation for this position is onstage
now ... in The Auditorium.
Mars in Cancer is there, too.

Last quick note
Remember ... the New Moon in Aries
forms Saturday Night ... 9:55 PM (MT)

Daily Lunar Horoscope Forecast for Thursday 3rd of April 2008
(Date and Times are based on Mountain Daylight Time.
Look at
Denver at The World Clock - Time Zones
to see what time it
is now where we are.)
From 11:52
AM:
An extraordinarily sensitive atmosphere moves into place, filling
your intuitive channels with as much information as you can process.
This is a time for quiet reflection, for self-care, creativity, and
meditation, for reconnecting to your feelings, family, and spiritual
sources.
Listen to the whispered messages of your heart and pay attention to what
your psychic sense tells you. This combination is one of the best
available for acting on the authentic wisdom of your deep inner
feelings.
