Our apologies: but there will be no astrological transits this week past Wednesday, when a giant asteroid crashes into the Earth and resolves your personal-life issues once and for all. Ha! April Fools’! Did that upset you? Were you provoked? If so — good!
Sorry about that: the impulsiveness of a week with four planets in Aries seems to be affecting me. They’re probably affecting you too: regardless of the details of your birth chart, Mars in Aries is strong and impulsive. That can be great if you have some pressing issues to stand up to, and if there’s anything you’ve been putting off facing up to, it will lend you the courage to do so. Of course, there’s always the chance that someone else thinks you are the problem. Just to make it (potentially) a bit worse, the Moon passes through the “transpersonal” signs this week (Sagittarius through Pisces). Those Moon placements are wonderful if you’re working on something with a partnership or a group, but may (on the other hand) lead the group to trample certain individuals — possibly you.
Whatever challenges you face, Wednesday may not be the day to start any new projects: the Moon is Void of Course all day long. Lay low and float along with it. Don’t worry about falling behind — no one else is getting anything done that day either.
Just in case you were afraid the entire week will be one long case of strategic thrust and parry, fear not. The Sun, Venus, and Mars are all sextile Jupiter this week, and that much of an assist from The Happy Planet can make things run a lot more smoothly. Once you’re done facing down any of those little obstacles in your love life — whether it’s a snoring spouse or your complete lack of a partner at all — there is a lot of good will and general happiness going around. Enough, perhaps, to at least temporarily overlook the overarching pressures from that long, ongoing Uranus-Pluto square. That particular astrological rough patch is starting to build in intensity again as it approaches the next exact square on November 1 … which is when, of course, any decent astrologer will tell you the world really ends.
Ha! April Fools’ again!
