April 2013 horoscope - Scorpio

I follow the sidereal calendar; this is the monthly solar horoscope for birthdays from 16th November to 15th December or Scorpio Ascendants and Moons

By Louise Gilbert
Scorpio, you may be glad to hear that you start off April with a last quarter Moon that comes arm in arm with Pluto in your house of finance, your possessions, income and your values - which can be a time of returns and reviews as well as a time of harvest. This Moon phase is connected to last year’s full Moon in early July, so think about what happened then. It’s typically a very busy time where you finish up things from the past. For you, this can mean that if you have been going through a financially draining time, this could be coming to an end or if you have been saving up for a house or a trip abroad, you could reach your goal now or at least see the end of the tunnel.

However, you may not even be aware or fully take it in that you potentially reached a milestone around finances as for 10 days in April, your focus is on your children, if you have any, creativity, having a bit of fun and last but not least, the emphasis is on romance. Your house of true love is packed full of planets and the new Moon on 10th April in this house promises a new start in these areas. So, if you are single and looking, the April new Moon, could be the start of something new, perhaps quite unexpectedly. Scorpios can be quite secretive at times but you seem to open your heart a bit more this month, ready to flirt and mingle. April marks the beginning of a couple of months where romance is particularly highlighted, so make the most of it.

This new Moon is ruled by the nakshatra of Rivati and on the one hand, has very gentle qualities aimed at spiritual enlightenment and intuitive understanding of how the world works. But on the other hand, this new Moon is also square Pluto in your area of finance and income. Now, I kind of feel that while romance is on the cards and, yes, it could feel quite intense and could happen quite suddenly, if you have children, this transit may manifest differently. It could be that they have to face some challenges momentarily. If you want, do let me know how this transit manifests for you.

April 2013 is also one of the more intense months of the year as we are gearing up to the lunar eclipse on 25th April – one of 5 eclipses this year hitting your area of behind the scenes, letting go, your intuition, far-away places as well as the area to do with your health, fitness and work routines. All of these areas are highlighted and out in the spotlight by the eclipses. Eclipses are full Moons and as with all full Moons, our emotions are heightened and we react from the heart rather than the head so these times are often also marked with changes in relationships as they affect our emotional affairs.  However, tied into an eclipse, it might be time of powerful change, transformation and a turning point for many Scorpios. In recent years, I started paying very close attention to the eclipses am now convinced that that these times often marks endings or culmination and turning points, they are the wild cards of the transits, the bonus cards and the lottery wins. They shake us up so that we can move from one level of evolution and maturity to another, higher phase, fairly rapidly. While, occasionally, a lunar eclipse can have to do with a change in career or place of work, depending on where it falls in your chart, lunar eclipses tend to bring with them the encounters that change our lives. They bring along those monumental break-ups, make-ups or general changes in status. Whatever it may be, they often signify the point of no return when we are asked to simply move forward in our lives. These times are often major catalysts in our life that provide the fuel for huge transformations. For you, the current time in your life signals the end of one long period - in fact, the last 29 years - during which you let go of this part of your life, take in what you've learned before you move forward with new responsibilities and a new outlook in about 18 months. If your Moon is in Scorpio, you may even consider moving home, city or abroad to a foreign country.

This lunar eclipse also highlights your house of health and daily your routines which is generally emphasised during the second half of April as the Sun, Venus and Mars enter move house and therefore shift your focus. This may mean that some adjustments may need to be carried out in the area of your health and fitness before Saturn, the taskmaster of the horoscope, enters your 1st house of your self and your physical body next year. So you'd do well to make sure your health is in good shape well in advance of this transit. Part of our daily routines also consists of our work and where we are of service, so during the latter half of April, you may find that work is a little more demanding than usual, perhaps you are handed a new work project or it's your colleagues that are playing up a bit. With the eclipses crossing over this axis for the next year or so, major changes in your work place could be on the cards anyway but with Mars, the planet of war in the mix, Avoid coming over too aggressive or flying off the handle - just for the time being.

Have an active month, Scorpio!
