This is a great time to start a new business, take up a new exercise or sport, or make major changes to the house.
On April 4, Mars makes a conjunction with Saturn. This is good energy for tackling something difficult, knowing it’s going to be a hard slog. This is a day for lifting weights, building a house, or doing your taxes.
On April 12, Jupiter makes a conjunction with Neptune in Pisces. This is a rare occurrence. This aspect increases intuition, expands boundaries of the mind, and embraces the spiritual. It heightens the awareness of that which unites all living things. It facilitates unraveling the mysteries of the Universe.
