Aries Forecast ~ April to June 2018
{a slightly longer write up for Aries this quadrant, since it is your birthday month}
The month begins
with Mercury retrograde in your sign Aries, moving in this apparent
backward motion up until the 15th April, those born
between 25th March and 2nd April will be
feeling this most keenly.
Mercury retrograde
periods are renowned for their apparent ability to cause computers to
break down, traffic to become notably worse and general
miscommunication to occur in all areas of life. Since this Mercury
retrograde is in Aries, this time around you will feel it more
impactfully. It will seem more personal somehow and most likely have
a more jarring effect upon your day to day life; forcing you to
consider alternatives and refine your usual routines.
Frustrations will be
at their most notable on 2nd April as your ruling planet,
Mars meets up with restrictive Saturn in Capricorn, assuaging your
enthusiasm, almost instantaneously, like a burst balloon. The issue
will most likely lie with work and your views and interactions with
the outside world. You will be questioned, have to double-check,
correct and be basically stalled and stifled by events on this day.
These things are not happening, 'just to wind you up' but to help you
recognise that a more measured and steady approach, can at times,
bring better long-term rewards. Steamrollering can be wonderfully
effective, but not for everything.
Being an Aries you
are likely to have a shorter fuse than most, but know that the
positives of Mercury retrogrades are in the potential of viewing
things differently, having to redo things that perhaps weren't really
considered quite so much as they should have been in the first place.
It's also an opportunity to slow down, re-evaluate and look at
whether the recent life choices you have made are actually
appropriate after all. It's easy to run around from one thing to
another, to keep busy and active, but it's not always the means in
which to make progress in life.
You may be wishing
for Spring, impatiently considering all that you would be able to do,
if the conditions were more conducive, but in reality there are loose
ends and refinements to make beforehand.
Passions will be
rising to the surface for Ariens around 11th to 15th
April, as the Sun in Aries meets with powerful, transformative Pluto.
Venus and Mars, also meet up for one of their regular rendezvous' and
invite dreamy, romantic Neptune into their waltz. The frustrations
of the first half of the month will dissipate in a cloud of hopeful
harmonies and a fervour of frission.
The upbeat vibe is
set to continue, as you find yourself far more expressive, positive
and upbeat during the second half of April. For those born around
17th April, the lunar proximity will set off a sparkling
New Moon energy, throwing the planet of chaos, creativity and vision
(Uranus) into the mix and promising you a solar year to remember!
With Uranus soon to
be making a temporary farewell to Aries, this is a new Moon which
implies a 'last chance', to fulfil your dreams, make that mark and
change something in your life you've been thinking about for the last
year or few. Although Uranus will make a revisit to Aries later in
the year, after 2018 there genuinely won't be another chance of this
kind. Uranus won't be in Aries again until the year 2095!

Your confidence
continues through the latter part of April, even as the Sun moves
into Taurus on the 20th. There will be a 'blip' on the
25th when you find your confidence dipping and your
vulnerabilities rising to the surface. This may well manifest in
anger also, as your ruling planet (Mars) meets up with Pluto and
causes a very potent explosive energy. In fact take it easy around
26th April as accidents and more widespread issues are
more possible when Mars and Pluto collide in this way. If you can
expend the passion in a more focussed, expressive and/or meaningful
way then all the better. Everyone is going to be edgy at this time,
but people will be a bit more sexy too….
The full Moon at 9
Scorpio at the end of the month will add to this tension on 30th
April, so if you've been single up until this point, it could be a
good time to change that. Chemistry will be at it's peak, where it
lurks already….
Those of you born at
the very beginning of Aries (21st to 23rd
March) are going to have the interesting experience of Chiron
reaching your Sun during April and May. Chiron takes around 50 years
to go around the Sun, so for many of you this will be a first time
experience and one which brings a deep level of sensitivity to your
life, in a way you won't have experienced before.
{I can offer you a
Chiron analysis for £20 also: waxlobster@hotmail.com}
Otherwise May rolls
up some nice upbeat energies, which are mostly congenial and
enjoyable, until the big change occurs on the 15th May.
This is the day that Mars moves from Capricorn into compatible, more
sociable Aquarius and Uranus moves into Taurus for the first time in
84 years! The calm may be a balm and certainly you will start to
notice that there is less upheaval in your life with the loss of
Uranus (although you may notice that things are more dull also).
May is a less
eventful month and one in which you can take a bit of time out and
enjoy; with Venus in Cancer (from 20th May), it may be
fruitful to spend a little more time beautifying and enjoying your
home environment. On 25th May a lovely connection between
Jupiter and Neptune will be felt in an uplifting manner for anybody
who enjoys creativity that buoyant connected feeling of appreciation
and the higher levels of communication that we can learn by observing
animals and nature. The month ends with a lovely excuse for
celebrations with great friends, topped off perfectly with a full
Moon in fun loving Sagittarius on 29th.
June begins with a
lovely set up of harmonious aspects, communications will be great,
the romantic backdrop is still having its say, you feel confident to
express your true feelings at the moment Aries. Often you are an
'actions speak louder than words' kind of sign, but this is going to
change a fair bit over the coming years. As Chiron slowly starts to
have an affect upon you and, as always, the backdrop for adjustment
is being provided supportively and synchronistically by the other
planets, you find that things are gradually changing bit by bit.
Uranus has left your sign, and you, with a feeling of being slightly
changed by the experiences of the last 7 years. You're not quite the
same person you were before and you wouldn't wish to be; there are
more strings to your bow and more notes in your heart.
There's going to a
be an unproductive, and hazy feeling surrounding 6th and
7th June but the new Moon in Gemini on 13th
will reassemble your thoughts, whilst on the same day, Venus strolls
into flamboyant Leo, craving a similarly emphatic response in it's
fellow fire signs (Aries & Sagittarius) and other animals..
The 15th
& 16th of June will be you feeling a little less
connected again, but Mars is still in Aquarius your house of friends
and social focus. Although you may not be feeling as gregarious as
you were a few weeks ago, as Mercuy is in more sombre and domestic
Cancer, with the Sun following shortly afterwards (moving to Cancer
late 21st June) there is a feeling of possibility and
increased connectivity.
You will be looking
at the potentials to rejig your finances (with Uranus now in the
house which can change this area at the drop of a hat), and you will
still be digging deeper into the shadow sides of your personality, as
Jupiter completes its year sojourn; exploring the psychological
depths of Scorpio.
The month ends with
a rather sombre full Moon in Capricorn, which links up with Saturn in
the sign he rules and bringing that sense of order and control, with
a nod to financial stability, status and all of the parameters set
upon those who allow this to be their fulcrum.
No doubt,
politically this full Moon will bring an awareness of heaviness and
constrictions, but what goes down will inevitably spring back up.
Somehow. In some way and the winds of change are now shifting from
fire pits (Uranus in Aries) to stubborn, dogged, determined and
focused shifts in the money markets (Uranus in Taurus)…. {more
about that later}

Gemini Forecast ~ April to June 2018
The month begins at the exact midpoint of ruling planet, Mercury’s retrograde cycle, as it meets up with the Sun in Aries.
You’ve already had that feeling of progress being halted for the last week or so and that will continue. Social areas will be most affected, along with the obvious communication breakdowns, IT issues and transport issues.
With Mars and Saturn also throwing some stalling energy to Mercury during the first week of the month, your intuition will feel blocked and areas of emotions which have been glossed over in the past will rise to the surface for acknowledgement. When Mars and Saturn get together it’s only the most mundane, planned and methodical approaches which work, you may have to resign yourself to this until the more uplifting creative energies begin on 7th April.
The second week of April in absolute contrast to the first; will be uplifting, hazy, romantic and dreamy. There will be a lovely balance of masculine and feminine energy with Venus and Mars bringing harmony on 11th and as they both allow uplifting, esoteric Neptune in on the act, this will be great week to share love and show the important people how much you appreciate them. Single Geminis should get out and about this week to take advantage of the connectivity.
As Mercury finally begins to move in forward motion on 15th April, anything you have been working on can actually start moving. The new Moon in Aries the following day may coincide with a social gathering or two and expect the unexpected, as this is the last chance for Uranus in Aries to throw a few curve balls of its own brand of humourous chaos into the mix.
This also heralds the move of Chiron from Pisces, to Aries. After a number of years of blocks and lack of progress in the career section of your life, opportunities will start to open up again and new recognition is likely (although more pronounced again in 2019).
Venus moves into your sign shining it’s spotlight onto your best traits from 24th April and making you feel appreciated, popular and like your charisma is even more effective and winning than ever. Although there will be problems at glitches to resolve on 25th & 26th April, probably at work, the month will end on a good note, although do watch out for the collision of Mars and Pluto. Together they can create marvellous passion, but suppressed they can explode out into uncontrollable rage. Public places; including roads, may be fraught with tension and geological manifestations such as falling rocks, and earthquakes become more likely.
On the contrary the first week of May is congenial, productive and upbeat. Ideas will be flowing again and your ruling planet, Mercury is now moving at full speed, able to gather and process information at the kind of pace that you most relish.
During the second week there is a notable build up to Uranus – the planet of chaos, revolution, invention and higher though – moving into Taurus for the first time since the 1942, after 7 years in Aries. Interestingly, as if to ease us in gently, Mars moves into Uranus ruled Aquarius on the 15th April also. As Mars rules Aries, this divine timing provides a very symbol transition period from the instant kinds of reactions of Aries, to the more steady, planned and controlled energies of Taurus. For you this is hidden, and less obvious area of your chart, and bringing a subconscious desire for change which can be best utilised through meditation and intuition.

Finances will be looking up towards the latter part of May, along with the desire to be a little more inclined to actually spend a bit of time looking into them in the first place!
When the full Moon on the 29th May in Sagittarius occurs, relationships and the balance between you and the closest people in your life will be in the spotlight. Since our solar 7th House is gregarious, fun, loving Sagittarius, this could bring cause to celebrate and indulge. Summer is nearly here, the Sun is in your sign and finally the stresses of day to day life can take a backseat.
June begins with a lovely set of warm, communicative and loving connections in the planet world. The warmth from these will be reflected in the atmosphere, and people are going to be a bit more kind and generous than they have for a while.
There may be a blip around the 7th when misunderstandings are going to be caused by low overall energy, and mid-June will bring us all promptly back down to earth.
On 13th although the new Moon in your sign connects warmly with Jupiter and promises fun and frivolity, the reality will be a lot more complicated, as egos start to inflate and bring to the surface wounds and unspoken words that will bring about a few conflicts.
Later in the month these issues will die down but when the Sun moves into Cancer for a morning Solstice on the 21st June, the crossfire with restrictive, serious, earthy Saturn will take centre stage and come to a head at the full Moon on 28th of the month. The energy is not alarming, as it is controlled and rather restrictive in nature but the beginning of June will be a far better time to celebrate and enjoy until the real Summer months begin.

Cancer Horoscope - April to June 2018
Things aren't very smooth at work at the moment really are they Cancer? The month begins with this is focus, as Mercury retrograde in your career house, meets up with the Sun in Aries, exacerbating these concerns. There's nothing else for it, but to surround yourself with great friends, and live it up a little. Venus in Taurus from 1st can at least promise you some fun, social times.
Relationships are under a bit of strain so far this year also, as Saturn in your opposite sign ask you to focus not just upon what you think you want, but to state your real needs candidly. With Mars also joining up here on 4th April, tensions will be high. The only way to work with this configuration is to stay focussed, planned and be as honest and measured as you can manage.
The second week of the month is far better, for all of us, as Venus and Mars the archetypal feminine and masculine planets join forces and add creative, inspirational Neptune into their circle. There will be a general 'feel good' factor to mid-April. Plan around it Cancer, use it to take a little time out, you've had a lot of stress on your shoulders so far this year but you can only really relax when you feel happy enough to appreciate it. The period from 7th April to 17th April will be uplifting and far more tranquil for you.
As Saturn turns retrograde on 18th the early Cancerians (those born up to 28th June) will start to feel under scrutiny once more. Look at this way; you cannot master anything in life unless you work hard to refine and improve at it, whilst Saturn opposite your Sun may seem oppressive, you will come out of it so much more knowledgeable, strong and capable.
{If you'd like to me to provide a focussed report of how Saturn in Capricorn is affecting you over the next 2 years or so, then I can do so for £20, just contact me at: waxlobster@hotmail.com}
The career focus continues however, despite Mercury retrograde taking his confusion and requests for refinements and flexibility from the focus on 15th April, you may begin to notice that your vulnerabilities are still at the fore, as Chiron joins Mercury in Aries. Interestingly this comes along to, in a sense, replace the chaotic 7 year sojourn of the planet of change and revolution; Uranus.
To surmise, although there will be more stability in your career life from mid-April, you may start to feel a need/desire to bring a more healing and compassionate element into your choice of workplace. With Chiron the planet which rules our deepest most vulnerable areas of ourselves, this area of your life, perhaps it's time to utilise your deeply compassionate and emotional nature and channel it into an area where it can really make a difference?
From 24th April, as Venus moves into Gemini try to take a little time out to nurture yourself, regenerate, and if you are so inclined; also meditate. The meet up between Mars and Pluto in your opposite sign on the 26th will be intense however. If you are in an unsatisfactory relationship at this time, issues will come to a head. If you are single, then this isn't a great time to meet somebody, it is however a great time to assess what you want vs what you need and look to beginning to manifest this into your life. Still things will be explosive in the outside world, as well as personal relationships, so take it easy at the end of the month Cancer.
May begins with a more positive, grounded and productive energy. With April ending on a Full Moon in compatible Scorpio, there is a sense of a new start. Just like an excellent brunch meet-up with friends, Sprummer has actually begun!
For the first half of the month, ideas are flowing, the heaviness has passed and your best qualities are coming to the fore. The new Moon on the 15th makes you want to socialise and let your hair down a little more and this will coincide neatly with Uranus moving into the social area of your chart.
I mentioned earlier about the desire to fined a little more meaning and a deeper level of fulfilment into your work world, and you may start to consider working in more charitable areas. Perhaps, considering whether your day to day life impacts the community and others who need help the most. Whilst Uranus is in Taurus you will have a lot more sway in these areas, and this influence lasts a mighty years. There is much your compassionate nature can accomplish in this time.
There's no rush, the planet of revolution, invention and genius is going to be stick around for a while. This period is the time when you consider potential change. Of course some of you will already be making waves in your lives, and so this is an opportune time to take advantage of your added influence in these areas. You have gravitas, people are willing to listen to you, where you are usually shy the serious caste from Saturn is actually giving you a deep confidence that you can utilise, rather than simply feel restricted by.
The Full Moon at the end of May gets you to the mundane focus. Facts, figures, balance, and are you eating well enough at the moment?
June begins with a loving, romantic essence to it. Single Cancerians will have a far more conducive time of it in the first half of June, although keep an eye on your intensity. Fun at first, depths can be explored in good time.
Mercury will be in your sign on 12th June and the new Moon in Gemini follows. Unexpressed feelings will be brought up for healing at this time. Arm yourself with a few of the close people, so you can be frank and comfortable, should you need to feel connected. (You probably will)
Finances finally take an upturn towards the end of June, in time for your special time of the year, the Summer Solstice – which will be at exactly 10:07am (UK time) – if you wish to note it.
Long-term plans will start to take centre stage at the end of the month as the build to the Full Moon on 28th June asks you to not only answer some serious questions, but also to pre-empt the future ones. No matter your age Cancer, this is a year where you're going to feel more grown up and mature, just try to remember how much more accomplished, experienced, wise and caring you will be at the end of it all though. ♥
