April 2009

General: Venus is still retrograde as we enter April and remains so until the 17th. This gives us a chance to continue to re-invent ourselves, our goals and our relationships. Since Venus rules diplomacy, hold ups in all sorts of negotiations can be expected, both for individuals and on a world-wide level. Individuals and nations will have difficulty reaching agreement in any sort of discussions. Venus going direct after the 17th should set things moving again and solutions to these impasses will eventually be found. Pluto goes retrograde this month too and offers us a chance to let go of old attitudes, negative thinking or communication patterns and rigid, unsupportive emotions. Pluto and Mars during April 26-28th can be tense and produce overactive thought patterns. Its important to relax and find quiet spaces in the turbulence of life.

Quote of the month: It's pointless to be critical of your stuff once it's done. I don't spend a lot of time agonizing over it. It's of no importance once it's finished. Paul Simon
