Considering the shaky manner in which the last four months have ended, the close of April 2014 occurs in a mild and even upbeat way. This past Monday’s New Moon continues to give you solid, practical aims while Mercury in Taurus and Jupiter in Cancer make amends for their poor behavior on April 14 and 20 by forging a supportive, 60-degree sextile (1:33AM). These two planets were the traditional ruling bodies of all four mutable signs (Gemini; Virgo; Sagittarius; Pisces), and, as such, they still have a lot of control when it comes to the communication, transportation, and education realms. Therefore, working on class papers or lectures, upcoming travel plans, and conference agendas makes total sense. Plus, it helps that the Moon and Venus see eye-to-eye as they also form a constructive, 60-degree rapport from Taurus to Pisces (8:54AM). Love bonds, the creative arts, and social activities have a rosy glow around this time-period. However, the Moon-Venus connection does generate a void-of-course lunar cycle in Taurus that remains in effect until 1:57PM when the Moon dashes into airy Gemini for the next 2+ days. Complete odds and ends during the 5-hour ambiguous lunar cycle and then plunge into your favorite crafts and hobbies once the Moon is roaming along in the flexible, versatile third sign of the zodiac. Although the first few days of May will test you by the arrival of Sun-Mars fireworks and Sun-Saturn and Mercury-Saturn frustrations or delays, April 2014 ends on a note of soothing healing as Mercury in Taurus makes a comforting, 60-degree link to Chiron in Pisces (9:23PM). Soak in a hot tub under the stars, enjoy a relaxing massage or let a trusted partner’s acupressure skills dissipate your tensions.
