Planetary Guide for April 1 (Sunday) -7 (Saturday)
[taken from Llewellyn's 2012 "Daily Planetary Guide")]
To borrow a pharase from popular astronomy, this is a week that is in the "Goldilocks Zone" -a unique spot in the universe where everything is "just right."
Besides several fortunate aspects, there is a Venus sign change, a turnaround for Mercury, and the Libra Full Moon.
(Monday) The Aries Sun gets things going on Monday when it makes a well-matched trine to the Leo Moon. Use this energy to your advantage, because it indicates harmony between the inner self (Moon) and the outer self (Sun) and spells good health, success, and self-reliance.
(Tuesday) Next up is a significant shift in relationship styles on Tuesday, when Venus passes into Gemini for an extended four-month tour (due to its retrograde in June). When Venus is visiting Gemini, relationships take on a light, airy charm; and while the urge to flirt is high, the need to make a commitment is low. Gemini is a dual sign, you may find yourself juggling two important relationships at the same time.
(Wednesday) Communications get back to normal on Wednesday, when Mercury ends its retrograde period. This also means it's an okay time to sign papers or start new projects.
(Friday) The highlight of the week occurs at the Libra Full Moon on Friday, when the Moon rises at sunset and lights up the night. Because the full Moon is the brightest phase of the lunar cycle, this is the time of heightened awareness and completions. The focus of the Libra Full Moon is on balancing the axis of power between yourself and others, making social commitments, or signing legal documents. This exciting, intense phase is the best time of the month to finish a project or to bring anything to its natural conclusion.
(Saturday) The Goldilocks Zone ends as it began with another harmonious trine between the Scorpio Moon and Neptune in Pisces. When harmony is expressed in water signs, it points toward deep and intense emotions, enhanced sensitivity, and a heightened sense of intuition. The secretive and escapist nature of Moon / Neptune trine makes this the best time of the week for secrets. Depending on your nature, this combination makes an ideal time to bare your soul or run for the nearest exit.
