Important April 2010 Astrological Events
Mercury Retrograde in Taurus
April 17, 2010 – May 11, 2010
Mercury Retrograde – Interpretation
A Retrograde planet is a planet that at certain times appears to be moving in a backward motion. Actually it is changing its angular position therefore its action will be more inwardly directed. During retrograde periods you will find that there are many challenges that have to do with outer communication as Mercury is the planet that governs all of our communication processes. What is interesting is that our ability to communicate with ourselves is where Mercury Retro becomes a benefit. Use this time to evaluate, analyze and organize your life as directed by the sign that Mercury is presently traveling through. Pay close attention to the week before the actual retrograde and complete any and all projects that involve communication and the signing of contracts. Please note that “life goes on” during retrograde periods and knowing the timing of the retrograde is significant. Watch for minor unplanned annoyances that could bring delays, upsets and breakdowns. Make this a period of “’re’s’. Rescheduling appointments, rewriting agreements and documents, revisiting the past and definitely backing up your computer documentation.
Mercury Retrograde in Taurus
With this Mercury Retro period being in the sign of Taurus (the sign that governs all that we value) pay attention to anything that has to do with finances, security and the spending of money. Watch those investments that you are about to make. No impulse buying please. As this is “tax time”, pay close attention so there are no lost receipts or lost tax paperwork that you are sending off. Taurus is a fixed and somewhat stubborn sign. Make sure that tenacity does not turn to stubbornness when making decisions. Flexibility will be very necessary if you must sign any agreements during this April to May Retrograde. As stated above this is a time of going inward. Revisit your entire life’s value system including your spiritual, mental and financial lifestyle. Find out what is most important to you and why. This will support you moving forward with a new vision.
New Moon in Aries – Fire Sign – Red Energy
April 14, 2010 – 5:02am – PST
Aries is fun-loving, exciting, curious and concerned with creating, being pioneers and exhibiting powerful leadership abilities. With Aries as the first sign of the zodiac, it actually marks the beginning of the astrological new year and does this with fiery action. Mars is the planet that rules Aries and is considered a warlike energy. We must be aware that we can also experience anger, frustration and an “I want what I want when I want it” attitude.
Remember that using energy wisely is what real power is all about. When doing your new moon meditation and exercise answer these important questions.
- How do I express my power in the world?
- Where do I put my energy?
- Do I fear my personal power?
- Am I ready to be a leader in my life?
Look to your responses to determine if it is time to release or purge yourself of whatever is preventing you from manifesting your personal leadership role.
With this Aries New Moon beginnings are on the horizon. Transform whatever needs to be transformed in order to create your wonderful NEW beginning. Get ready to respond to whatever positive exciting energy is knocking on your door.
