Mood of Month
Come, my love, let’s sit down and watch the spring unfold and blossom.”
– Wilhelm Busch
This spring sets things in motion!
The Full Moon in Libra at the beginning of the month shines a light on relationships, highlighting the delicate tension between our own needs and desires, and those of others – a constant balancing act. On the one hand, there is a longing for connection; on the other, a reluctance to sacrifice our own needs for the sake of peace. This is an invitation to greater honesty and authenticity in how we relate – while also remaining open to compromise.
Mars moves into Aries and takes the lead. Courage, initiative and the urge to push forward all increase – but so do impatience, impulsiveness and a tendency towards confrontation. Action, achievement and results take centre stage. Plans and personal goals are tackled head-on, without much hesitation. This can spark conflict, but it can also get projects moving quickly and give our ambitions a powerful boost.
Mercury too moves into Aries. Thinking picks up speed, communication becomes direct and at times heated. Much is decided on impulse. There is, however, also an openness to new ideas that can bring unexpected solutions. Together with Mars in Aries, it is advisable to consider things calmly rather than charging ahead impulsively and breaking a lot of china along the way. Saturn raises a stern finger and advises: think first, then act!
The New Moon in Aries signals a new start. Confidence and a spirit of optimism – new goals, plans and fresh motivation shape the mood. Things are meant to move forward, and with enthusiasm, passion and – please – a little more speed!
As the Sun enters Taurus, the energy softens. The emotional compass turns towards stillness, slowness and relaxation. Instead of fast and immediate, the keywords now are: thorough, persistent and, above all, practical. What supports life and well-being? What creates stability and a reliable foundation?
Venus moves into Gemini, bringing lightness, variety and playfulness. Flirting is very much allowed. Charming diversity becomes a key theme. Intellectual exchange, stimulating conversations and, above all, curiosity shape love and communication. “Easy is right” in its most delightful form!
Uranus moves into Gemini for the next seven years and revolutionises how we think and communicate. The way we make contact, communicate, share information and how we process sensory impressions – artificial intelligence will accelerate all this and have an enormous influence on our perception of reality, with all its advantages and disadvantages. Our way of life and how we interact with one another face major changes! Perhaps we will learn to engage more consciously with the constantly shifting flow of information, with sensory overload, education and technology. Perhaps we will also gain a healthier distance from our own thinking and no longer allow every new piece of news to lead us around by the nose. Uranus always brings surprises and something radically new!
With this in mind, let’s hope for the best – and wish you a lovely April.
To me, life in its totality is good. And when you understand life in its totality, only then can you celebrate; otherwise not. Celebration means: whatsoever happens is irrelevant – I will celebrate. Celebration is not conditional on certain things: ‘When I am happy then I will celebrate,’ or, ‘When I am unhappy I will not celebrate.’ Celebration is unconditional; I celebrate life. It brings unhappiness – good, I celebrate it. It brings happiness – good, I celebrate it. Celebration is my attitude, unconditional to what life brings.”
– Osho, Yoga: The Alpha and the Omega, Vol 4, Ch 10
Aries, 21 March – 19 April
The month gets off to a chaotic start. Conflicting energies are pulling in different directions, triggering unfamiliar and unclear situations. Hold off on making decisions, as emotional influences are currently clouding the picture and acting impulsively will only make things more complicated. From the second half of the month, your drive to take action increases, but first make sure you know what your real priorities are before you set things in motion. Saturn puts the brakes on hasty actions, and Neptune advises you to be more open-minded and not to put up unnecessary resistance. In the final third of the month, focus on what is practical and tackle things slowly, thoroughly and with a clear head.
Taurus, 20 April – 20 May
The love of power or the power of love… April urges you to take a clear stance and clarify what truly matters to you in your relationships. Venus strengthens the desire for greater connection and tranquillity – Pluto, on the other hand, encourages you to put personal comfort aside and step out to tackle new challenges with like-minded people. Mutual exchange enhances your ability to make an impact. Pay attention to shared values and overarching goals – they strengthen harmony. That said, there is no need to strive hard to make contact – whoever comes your way is meant for you. In the final third of the month, the feeling of being at peace with yourself will grow.
Gemini, 21 May – 21 June
At the start of the month, various misunderstandings cloud the mood – but don’t let them bring you down. Mercury is passing through murky waters, bringing confusion and doubt. At times it is more appropriate to go with the flow than to resist circumstances or engage in unnecessary discussion. Remain outwardly yielding and courteous, but inwardly stand by your truth and keep your goal in sight. Around the middle of the month the wind begins to change direction. The readiness to act grows, and unexpected contacts bring creative inspiration. The final week holds surprises. The familiar course of things becomes looser and feels fresher. Stay calm and enjoy!
Cancer, 22 June – 22 July
It’s time to come out of your shell and reach out to others. Take a closer look and decide whom you’d like to spend time with. Do you feel you can trust them enough to talk about everything that’s on your mind right now? Even if it feels a bit strange at first to leave your safe haven, make the most of your time together – with kindness and appreciation. Jupiter advises you to befriend those with whom you can enjoy sincere and relaxed company and truly be yourself. The New Moon encourages you to set out on a new path. Go for what you’ve long desired and just do it. Try something new!
Leo, 23 July – 22 August
The Full Moon highlights the importance of balance – between togetherness and solitude. If you’ve been too withdrawn, this is a good time to become more social. If your social life has been overly busy, it may be time to step back and turn inward. Jupiter’s advice: slow down. Whether at work or in your private life – less is more. It helps to ease your schedule and reduce pressure. And above all: avoid drama. Observe things from a healthy distance instead of placing yourself, as usual, at the centre of everything. The new direction is clear – relax, play, enjoy life. Towards the end of the month, circumstances may shift significantly. Reassess your goals and stay flexible.
Virgo, 23 August – 22 September
Things are looking promising; much has been sorted and put in order. However, now is not yet the time to sit back and relax. Mercury is disturbing your peace of mind and calling your hopes and expectations into question. Let your thoughts drift by and focus on practical tasks – tidy your wardrobe, home and desk, carefully, step by step… this allows your body and mind to relax. Around the middle of the month, fresh ideas will start flowing in. Your drive will grow, and many things that have been on hold for a long time can now come to fruition. Or they may simply fade away if they are too unrealistic. Let things be as they are!
Libra, 23 September – 23 October
The month begins with a reminder to find a healthy balance between the masculine and feminine aspects of life – between closeness and solitude, head and heart, taking action and letting things unfold. Pluto urges you to go deeper and encourages you to make your relationships more authentic. Even if it seems risky: speak your truth and take delight in those who appreciate honesty. Conversely, remain open to feedback from others. The right balance of openness and sensitivity improves communication. In the last third of the month, the situation eases. Show your kindness, affection and love, and the mood will soon improve!
Scorpio, 24 October – 21 November
Respect and diplomacy are enormously helpful in exchanges, especially when sensitive topics are involved. Even if it reflects your truth – an overly forceful manner tends to intimidate others and prevents openness and trust. Pluto calls for authenticity, and April offers many opportunities to position yourself more clearly in your relationships and to stop beating around the bush. Yet sensitive courtesy often serves the cause better than going straight for the jugular. In the final third of the month, place your focus on relaxed togetherness. Even if it seems inconsequential – boredom heals.
Sagittarius, 22 November – 21 December
New impulses and ideas are coming your way. They promise exciting possibilities – adventure, momentum and interesting contacts. You’d love to rush straight in, but approach things with an open mind and approach them for their own sake, without great expectations. Pay close attention to how you feel with every step in this new direction. Is it merely a rush of enthusiasm, or could something lasting grow from it that truly fills and soothes your heart? Mars boosts your drive, whilst Jupiter increases the tendency to take on too much. Trust your intuition and wait until you receive clear signals. A calm approach leads to better results.
Capricorn, 22 December – 19 January
The desire for something new is strong. Yet, on the one hand, there are still unfinished tasks on your to-do list, and on the other, you don’t want a fleeting distraction; rather, you want to do something with complete conviction and commit yourself fully. Saturn paves the way and helps you assess which actions will lead to success in the long term and which are merely a waste of energy. The New Moon signals a fresh start! Whether in your professional or personal life – follow your intuitive impulses and seek out like-minded people if your plans are on a larger scale. Mercury helps you examine your projects from every angle and offers guidance on how to get off to a good start. Make a solid plan – and then set to work with care.
Aquarius, 20 January – 18 February
An eventful month. You are at peace with yourself; you feel alive and radiate warmth. As a result, others approach you seeking advice and support. These connections bring a fresh breeze into your social life. The challenge is not to scatter your energies but to find, from all the stimuli, what truly resonates with you. Pluto strengthens your resolve to be sincere. It highlights what is essential and what can safely be let go of. Be mindful of any discord in your relationships which may point to old habits and fears that keep you tied down. Perhaps it is time to look in a new direction. Follow your desire for greater independence.
Pisces, 19 February – 20 March
The month gets off to a flying start. However, there is a tendency to take the path of least resistance and neglect certain matters that really ought to be dealt with. Saturn stands firmly by your side and supports all efforts to organise and structure. Turn your attention to the areas that have long been neglected… partly because they require tedious detail work and are perceived as monotonous and boring, or are simply uncomfortable. Neptune advises you to approach these unpleasant tasks as a spiritual practice and to set to work consciously, step by step. A good opportunity to come to terms with your weaknesses and make friends with them.
