Horoscopes
Aries
Long-term career goals may be up for review over the coming months with Pluto, currently in your career and reputation sector, turning retrograde today, dear Aries. This yearly event is not unusual, but it comes at a time when Mars has just turned retrograde, reinforcing a need to look for answers within and to slow your pace. Changes need to be made in your approach, particularly to your career or long-term goals, and in time, you will see what these are. Facing up to truths about the past, and possibly a hard look at financial or intimacy matters, can be part of the picture now. While pressures and fears can be magnified now, particularly regarding life plan goals, the Pluto retrograde that lasts until the last week of September offers you some ability to detach and observe, and this helps you to gain a clearer perspective. A Venus-Saturn aspect occurring today can enhance or reinforce a connection. You could feel supported or reinforced when it comes to your opinions and ideas. Your negotiation skills are above par now, and your aim is to see eye to eye, but to remain true and honest at the same time. People are valuing you for your experience, perspective, and wisdom.
Taurus
Mars has just turned retrograde, dear Taurus, and today, the ruler of your partnership sector, Pluto, turns retrograde as well. Because Mars is retrograde only about 9% of the time and Pluto is retrograde about 45% of the time, the more significant retrograde of the two is Mars retrograde. However, Pluto does have its effects, and both affect your closest relationships. Until the last week of September, partnerships require more thought and perhaps strategy. You’ll want to let go of falseness in your interactions and you’re likely to take love matters more to heart. Outwardly, however, there is less of a tendency to take action. You might also be more reflective when it comes to your personal belief systems. In fact, you are a little more able to detach yourself just enough to gain an entirely new perspective on a partnership, educational path, belief system, personal philosophy, or long-term project – all areas of life that Pluto is currently touching. Today, a Venus-Saturn influence tends to give you more clout and reinforces your practical, reliable side. There is a stronger appreciation for those things that have long-term value, as well as people with whom you feel comfortable.
Gemini
Mars has just turned retrograde, dear Gemini, and you may be rethinking certain projects and interests. Today, Pluto turns retrograde – a yearly occurrence that lasts several months. If give and take are grossly unbalanced in a relationship, or if you are worrying about the loyalty of a person in your life, these issues can be magnified now with Pluto stationing in your intimacy sector. Health and work matters, especially related to matters of control or fear, can also come into focus now. Over the coming months, review of current wellness programs, routines, work projects, the sharing of power, intimate relationships, and/or shared finances and debt is in order. This is an excellent time for detaching yourself a little in order to see what has been tripping you up, as well as for doing research and collecting information. While problems may seem magnified now, the retrograde cycle itself is far easier and natural. A Venus-Saturn influence today inclines you towards practical ideas, as well as stable people and situations. Ideas that were only on the drawing board tend to come together now. Sometimes it really pays off to humble yourself by allowing others “in” on your problems, and today is one of those times. You could benefit from others’ experience and wisdom.
Cancer
Pluto turns retrograde today, dear Cancer. This occurs every year and lasts just over four months. The shift itself as Pluto stations and changes directions today can act to magnify problem areas that already exist, particularly surrounding control issues in close relationships. Be aware that people can be especially sensitive. However, the retrograde itself is far less dramatic. It tends to internalize issues and it can prompt to you to review your love relationships over the coming months. There is a tendency to cling to old patterns or to examine the past rather than to push forward into all-new territory. Today, you are in a good position to strengthen your future by taking care of the present. Honoring your responsibilities can be satisfying now. It’s a good day for dedicating yourself to a project or activity that requires focus and concentration. This can also be a fine day for reinforcing a bond or strengthening a relationship through taking positive, supportive action.
Leo
Mars has just turned retrograde, dear Leo, and today, Pluto stations retrograde as well. However, retrograde Pluto is a far more common occurrence, as it spends almost half of the year retrograde. Today’s station can temporarily magnify problem areas, however, particularly related to work, family, home, and health matters. Over the coming months, a shift in attitude towards work projects and health programs is likely, as you begin to take on a more observational rather than dynamic or active role. This is a good cycle for research, as well as loosening some of the tight control you have over your daily routines and work. A Venus-Saturn influence today is a stabilizing one. You are finding more value in consistency and reliability, particularly in the people you care about. There can be a feeling of greater balance in a relationship, but also in your life, as you seem to be able to divide your time well between work and pleasure. Perhaps due to a person or project, you can be feeling pleasantly anchored.
Virgo
With Pluto stationing and turning retrograde in your sector of romance, creativity, children, and recreation today, dear Virgo, there can be a temporary magnification of problems in these areas, before pressure begins to subside. While Pluto will remain retrograde for many months, there can be a feeling of heaviness around the time of the shift this week, as fears can be magnified and you can temporarily feel as if you have little control over these areas of life. Mars is also at a station, and this reinforces the need to take things slowly, as changes of mind can occur easily now. Save important decision making for a time when you are clearer emotionally. With a slower approach, you are able to see possibilities and to make connections that you may have overlooked in the past. Conservative steps are favored now. You might bond with someone you love or care about today.
Libra
Pluto comes to a station today, dear Libra, as it turns retrograde for just over four months. This yearly occurrence tends to initially magnify fears and ambitions, and for you, this is especially the case surrounding finances, family, and home matters. Over the coming months, you are likely to review these matters and adjust your plans accordingly. In fact, you may be able to detach from some of the pressures and fears that have been driving your behavior. Today’s Venus-Saturn connection is a stabilizing one. You are drawn to steady, reliable activities, people, and situations. You can come across as dignified and yet friendly today. A constructive conversation with a friend or partner can figure prominently today. Mutual cooperation and understanding boost your affection.
Scorpio
Your ruler, Pluto, turns retrograde early today, dear Scorpio, and until the last week of September, you’re in a strong position for searching deep within for answers. You’re a little more introspective during this several-month influence. Looking to the past (without dwelling on it) is an important process that can help you to see, more clearly, what things need to change. This retrograde cycle is a strong one for self-observation and a bit of a break from pushing yourself too hard mentally, and with Mars, your co-ruler, retrograde as well, this is especially important this year. During the shift occurring right now, you could be feeling a little disoriented, but this is temporary. It’s about adapting and acclimatizing right now. A Venus-Saturn influence helps to ground you today. You may feel needed, respected, and valued, and you enjoy making people you care about feel the same way. You are more conservative and discriminating in your tastes and handling of money right now, and can actually derive satisfaction from being prudent in your choices today.
Sagittarius
Further reinforcement of the need to slow down and to make important refinements and adjustments to your plans comes today, dear Sagittarius, with Pluto’s station. There can be some matters to handle from the past that need your attention, or feelings of guilt to deal with. Delays or changing motivation levels may need to be contended with now, and a reassessment of what you truly value becomes important. Financial matters may need review. This process will take many months, and even though it may feel intense as the shift occurs now, it’s likely to become less urgent as you go along. Today’s Venus-Saturn influence supports strengthening relationships, particularly with friends and lovers, and children, if applicable. This is a good time to dedicate yourself to something or someone special. Your powers of attraction today lie in your strength and commitment, discretion, and reliability. You are not interested in fleeting excitement right now, preferring spending time with trusted friends or family.
Capricorn
Pluto in your sign comes to a station and turns retrograde today, dear Capricorn. The day’s energy can be intense, as fears and worries may be temporarily magnified. However, this subsides quickly, and the retrograde cycle itself, lasting for just over four months, is very useful. You are in a better position to observe and detach yourself just enough to see where you may have been tripping up, particularly with regards to over-controlling tendencies. A Venus-Saturn influence today can be very helpful. Life slows down long enough for you to appreciate what you have going for you. A relationship can deepen through the sharing of something personal, private, or previously hidden. It’s a good day for sharing ideas and personal philosophies, and for tolerance of differing viewpoints. You might gravitate towards someone who is a bit older than you or a reliable long time friend to spend some time with. Your personal appeal is strong right now.
Aquarius
Mars reached a retrograde station yesterday and Pluto does so today, dear Aquarius. There can be some intensifying of fears, worries, or frustrations just for now as the shifts occur. For you, with Pluto in your solar twelfth house, there can be a possibly obsessive focus on problems of the past. Take the time to review your feelings, but don’t let them distract you from your current path for very long. In fact, very soon this intense energy will subside and you can really benefit from this retrograde period that lasts just over four months. This is a good time for observing and understanding your deepest feelings, attachments, and fears. In fact, while Pluto has been direct, you may not have truly “seen” how fears, guilt, and control issues have been working against you. Now you have the chance to make the connections and work on healing and resolving problems. Today’s Venus-Saturn influence is a stabilizing, supportive aspect. Solid energy is with you for attracting or enhancing a relationship. People might turn to you as a mentor.
Pisces
Mars turned retrograde yesterday, dear Pisces, and this can bring some changes of interests and motivation levels. Pluto stations retrograde today, and long term goals are up for revision over the coming months. Although this can feel pressing right now, you in fact have a lot of time to reconsider your approach to going after your dreams and goals. As well, friendships can have a heavy energy hanging over them today. Once the intensity of the station passes, this retrograde period that lasts until the last week of September is powerful for taking a step back and examining your fears, resentments, and possibly even self-destructive tendencies rather than living on auto pilot. It’s a strong time for healing. A Venus-Saturn aspect today has a settling, stable influence. Easy energy is with you for expressing your more competent and responsible side. Developing or employing the skills you already have is more important to you than inventing or innovating, and this can be of great benefit to you at this time.

Description: Transiting Pluto Stationary
ARIES STRONG
Initiating, pioneering energy. Independent, bold, courageous, assertive, fiery, inspirational, direct, decisive. Can be egotistical, impulsive, impatient, aggressive, lacking subtlety.
VIRGO STRONG
Meticulous, discriminating, pure, practical, health conscious, hard working. Can be hyper-critical, petty and perfectionistic.
SAGITTARIUS STRONG
Inspiring, broad vision, enthusiastic, goal seeking, truthful, adventurous. Can be reckless, unrestrained, tactless.
BALANCE OF ELEMENTS
FIRE STRONG
Fire is enthusiastic, dynamic, and spontaneous, but lacks reflection. We are more courageous and adventurous now, with a tendency to act before thinking. There is little concern about what happened in the past. We are competitive and possibly impatient or bored easily.
EARTH STRONG
We are especially in touch with the physical world. We consider what we’ve learned and experienced in the past in order to make the most of the present. We can be cautious, practical, and possibly unimaginative. We are deliberate and can pace ourselves well. We need hands-on experience and are not impressed with theory as much as we are with results. Routines are tolerable and comforting.
AIR WEAK
We may have a difficult time being objective or detached. We may not be especially communicative.
WATER WEAK
There may be some insensitivity or lack of empathy now. We may be out of touch with what we’re feeling or with our emotional needs. We may be tougher than usual now, and more inclined to follow mental or practical considerations than we are to listen to our intuition.
BALANCE OF MODES
FIXED WEAK
We may be open to change but may not have much follow-through.
LUNAR PHASE: GIBBOUS
Moon 135 to 180 degrees ahead of the Sun.
We are looking to attach value and meaning to our goals. This is a time for analyzing, questioning, perfecting, and improving.
The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on April 18th:
Note that when an aspect is applying, it has not yet happened but is within orb – it’s pending. When an aspect is separating, it has already happened/perfected and is moving away from the aspect. Depending on the speed of the planet/body involved, the aspect will have perfected, or will perfect, in a matter of hours (often the case with the Moon), days, months, and possibly years in the case of the very slow-moving outer planets and bodies.
Note that the Moon moves at a rate of approximately one degree every 2 hours, so that if an aspect involving is applying and has an orb of 5 degrees, the aspect will perfect (be exact) in about 10 hours. If the Moon is separating from an aspect with an orb of 2 degrees, it has already formed said aspect approximately 4 hours ago (since the following are positions at noon today, then it would have occurred at about 8 AM today).
**I suggest paying close attention to applying aspects. The energy of the aspect builds as it gets closer to exact. Once an aspect involving inner planets has happened, it’s over. Separating aspects are good to know for context, but in terms of energy that is with us today, applying aspects are most important. (This is the case for daily astrology influences involving inner planets, which pass quickly, and not natal astrology aspects, which are with us for a lifetime).
THE MOON
THE MOON IN VIRGO
We have an emotional need for order with the Moon in Virgo. Diet, nutrition, health matters, work, and routines are in stronger focus. If we’re feeling out of sorts emotionally, we might also experience symptoms on a physical level now.

URANUS IN ARIES
The urge to start fresh, to break free from restrictive attitudes or circumstances, to totally redesign an area of our lives (or even our personalities), and to gain freedom through independence is strong during this cycle.
