New Moon Horoscopes: April/May 2015

We had a New Moon in Aries last Saturday at 11:57am Pacific. It was the second of two new moons in Aries this year which is unusual! It heightens the vibe of rebirth. Saturday's moon was in the very last degrees of Aries - inspiring us to venture out on a new path. Aries is the first sign of the zodiac and heralds the Spring Equinox and the start of the astrological year. Now is the time to plant the seeds of whatever you'd like to grow or expand in 2015.

With the Sun's entrance into Taurus this morning at 2:42am, our focus turns towards creativity, empire building and pleasure. Taurus loves food, money, nature, sex and commitment - not necessarily in that order. This earthy mood is enhanced by Lilith in Virgo (lusty logic) and Pluto in Capricorn (evolving structure) both trining the Sun in Taurus and forming a Grand Earth Trine. Time to solidify your ideas into real planning and work, because you can make great progress now.

Keep in mind we've had two Eclipses in a row, plus the final square of Uranus and Pluto which radically shifted our lives over the last two years. 

Check out the horoscopes below for your Sun sign AND your Rising sign. For my horoscopes the rising Sign is the most important aspect. It's really easy to figure it out by following this link here, and it's free.
 
Aries:  The Ram

Your solar return (birthday) is over and you are now heading in the right direction (hopefully). Many different aspects have been effecting you over the last year! Aries people feel like they've been rebirthed from the ground up. The catharsis will be easing now, allowing you to move forward. With beneficial Jupiter moving Direct in Leo, lots of good luck fires up new ideas and projects, and with the Sun's entrance into Taurus, it's time to get down to brass tacks... especially tacking money to your wall. Focus on getting organized with plans already set in motion.

Taurus:  The Bull

The Sun entered your sign this morning kicking off your birthday season. You'll be reassessing all the important areas of your life and rebirthing. Mercury (clarity), Mars (drive) and the Moon (intuition) are also in tight formation in Taurus, clearing the path for growth. Pluto in Capricorn (evolution) and Lilith in Virgo (logical rebellion) are throwing wonderful energy in your direction. Your ruler, Venus, is in flirty Gemini, enhancing your skills as a social dynamo. It's really a special month for you, and you can make some real progress on your ideas.

Gemini:  The Twins

Feeling flirty? Venus in your sign makes you more charming and witty then usual. She brings easy times so you will experience a good flow financially and socially through May 7th. The only challenge comes from retrograde Saturn in Sagittarius opposing you. Any long range goals or structure building need to be well planned and have a solid foundation. Also your ruler, Mercury, is trudging through Taurus with the Sun, Moon and Mars in your House of the Unconscious. You want to plumb your depths to find your personal treasure of truth. We all know how sociable you are, but give yourself some moments of solitude in the upcoming weeks.

Cancer:  The Crab

You will have a fairly easy time over the next month. The Taurus action effects your 11th House of Friendships and community. Lots of possibilities for socializing and career will be popping up, but with Pluto in Capricorn there's an evolution to the partners you choose and the playing field. Practice letting go and enjoying yourself. The good news is Jupiter (Fortune) expanding your Money House until August, so make the most of this wonderful blessing!

Leo:  The Lion

The Lion is one of the most ambitious signs of the zodiac, and over the next several months opportunities will abound in your life. You have Jupiter, the planet of Money and Luck in your sign until August! However the major action in Taurus right now is asking you to be solid about your grand designs for world domination. It's an opportunity to practice patience (Taurus is good at that and can show you how)... Saturn in Sagittarius is sending you gifts of stability, understanding and Buddha wisdom. It's all in preparation for this Summer, when you will shine brighter than ever.

Virgo:  The Virgin

You are currently thriving in the glow of the Sun, Mercury and Mars trining your sign in Taurus. - your House of Life Perspective. Pluto in Capricorn (solid evolution) is supplying you with fertile soil for your Virgo planning. The landscape is rich for you to plant the seeds of your ideas. The only wild element is Lilith in Virgo, bringing up some personal insecurities that need to be addressed before your birthday. Jupiter (huge Good Fortune) will be entering your sign this August for a year long stay. This only happens once every 12 years and will bring serious blessings to your life, so be ready.

Libra:  The Scales

The huge planetary activity in Taurus puts your focus on agreements with others. Venus in Gemini helps you do that with ease and finesse, plus the North Node in Libra gives you a huge boost for the next few months. The North Node in your sign brings you fulfilling experiences and helps things go your way. Make good use of this time to sort things out. Uranus (shocking change) is still opposing your sign in Aries and bringing intellectual eccentrics into your life. Learn from people but set boundaries too where needed.

Scorpio:  The Scorpion

When the Sun (and Mercury and Mars) go into Taurus, the spotlight shines on Scorpio's relationships. The focus becomes the "other" - our romantic relationships and friendships as well. There's so much lovely energy in this corner of your life right now, be sure and make use of it. There's also a call to evolve, shift and grow in partnerships, and to confront your insecurities. The sign of Scorpio rules transformation so this feels natural! You've been freed of the weight of Saturn that's been in your sign for the last two years. Now is the time to solidify an existing relationship, and plan your direction.

Sagittarius:  The Archer
Your ruler is Jupiter - the giant planet of good fortune, expansion and faith. It just went Direct a couple weeks ago in Leo, which is your house of Life Perspective. Things are moving forward again and will continue to build over the next few months. Also, Saturn is in your sign for the first time in 29 years, bringing a reality check to your sunny disposition. Saturn makes sure your plans have a reliable foundation before any progress can be made. You love to set goals - now is the time to do some research and groundwork before letting the arrows fly this summer.

Capricorn:  The Goat

Pluto has been in Capricorn for a few years now, calling you to evolve on a deep level. This evolution is assisted by the fertile energies of the Sun, Mercury and Mars in Taurus. You're probably researching different paths and possibilities up the career mountain. This sector of your chart also relates to romance and creativity, so self expression is a great way to work through any psychological upheavals. Capricorns have a wild, fun loving side, which is encouraged by Lilith in Virgo. You are going through a deep change regarding how you envision yourself.

Aquarius:  The Water Bearer

Jupiter in Leo opposing your sign insists you eat your dinner before enjoying that dessert. At the same time Jupiter is sending harmonious energy to your ruler, Uranus in Aries. This is a Big Deal. Your highly attuned Aquarian synapses are shooting off new inventions and unorthodox ideas with lightning speed.

Pisces:  The Fishes

Your ruler, Neptune, is currently at home in your sign, giving you a sense of belonging and spiritual connectedness. This is a once-in-a-lifetime event since Neptune takes 165 years to travel once around the Sun. Many Pisces born on this planet will never experience what it feels like to have Neptune so close. For the next 12 years your intuition is unparalleled. Make the most of it!
