4/26 (Mon). One of the major astrological events of the year happens today: Saturn opposing Uranus! This is the fourth such occurrence in a series of five that started on election day (11/4/08) and will have its final exact alignment on 7/26.
        The effect of this dynamic opposition, which lasts about two years, is an epic battle between the outworn status quo and the new paradigm that has come to replace it. One need look no further than Washington, with Republicans and Democrats seemingly locked into opposing positions on health care reform (and just about everything else) for a classic example of this dynamic at play. Willingly embracing new paradigms in your own life when their time has come will make your own experience of this energy far less stressful!

4/28 (Wed). April's Full Moon occurs on the 28th at 8:18 AM (9° Scorpio). Use it to take stock of how you're doing with your shared resources, committed romantic relationship(s), psychological explorations, occult practices and research projects. Emotions may run unusually high, even for a Full Moon, because of the challenging aspects to the Moon from Mars, Venus, Mercury and Jupiter. You may feel a strong urge to make changes now, but wait two weeks for the next waxing moon if you possibly can.
        The Sabian Symbol for this Full Moon is, "A dentist at work." I frankly don't know what to make of this - and that's the tooth! (Unless, of course, it refers to being willing to do distasteful work with the mindfulness and precision of a professional.)
        Mental activity of all kinds is supported by today's Sun-Mercury conjunction.

4/29 (Thu). Relationship challenge is par for the course with Venus quincunx Pluto. If things get a bit stressful, view it as an opportunity to introduce needed transformation into the relationship.

4/29 & 4/30 (Thu & Fri). April ends with more fairy dust to inspire your creativity and divine connection (Venus quintile Jupiter on the 29th, and the Sun quintile Neptune on the 30th).

5/2 (Sun).The Saturn-Neptune quincunx which peaks today has already been in effect for a month, and will last through early August. Be sure to release old structures which have outlived their usefulness during this time, lest they be dissolved away against your will! Work with the law of attraction can be empowered during this time, and discipline applied to your spiritual and creative pursuits will be rewarded.
