The month begins with Mercury in retrograde from March 22 until April 15. This means you are less likely to find a suitable job or to leave one. Next, see Susan Miller's full Capricorn horoscope for April 2018. Susan Miller's Capricorn Horoscope for April 2018 text Since Saturn, the stern guru and chief justice, entered Capricorn on December 20, 2017, you have been forced to face new realities and greater responsibilities. If you were born under the Capricorn sign in December or the first three days of January, life is not easy for you. April is bumpy but gets easier as the month progresses, and the end of the month will be your most productive time.
The full moon on March 31, the day before April, is not an easy one. The full moon occurs in Libra, 11 degrees, and forms an exact and difficult aspect with two planets in Capricorn: Mars and Saturn join hands (very rare), reaching a peak on April 2nd. (Pluto is also in Capricorn, your first house, but is far from this aspect.)
I need to digress for a moment to emphasize the conjunction of Mars and Saturn in Capricorn on April 2 and the day before and after. This is a typical aspect associated with injuries to the bones (especially the knees) and teeth. You are a Capricorn, and Saturn is also your ruler, so you must take precautions. First, look at the road more often when walking. I know it sounds simple, but most people don’t pay attention to their surroundings and walk into potholes, signs, and even people. Too many people walk around looking at their phones, and you really have to pay attention in the first week of April because of this aspect. This is also not a good time to participate in extreme sports.
All full moons affect a period of four days before and after. This full moon lights your tenth house of fame, career success, and achievement, but your tension regarding your career may be unusually high as April begins. This isn't a bad thing for what's going on - it's the pressure your boss is feeling, passing on to you. The stars are not cooperating. If you receive a new job offer in early April, you may feel that there is something wrong with this offer. Your home, quarters, and family areas are also emphasized this month, so domestic duties will almost certainly be part of the to-do list.
In the past two days, all of my Capricorn friends in my own life have called me to tell me that their careers are making them uneasy. They seem to be facing their own inadequacies. I tell my Capricorn friends that this is the word of Saturn - wherever Saturn is in a sign, it brings fear. Just because you feel overwhelmed doesn’t mean you’re not capable of handling the challenges that lie ahead—you’re fine! The full moon on March 31st is a little witch that causes a lot of tension and confusion. Take what is valuable from this full moon, but don't let it overwhelm you.
There's a lot going on in the first few days of April, as Mars and Saturn form difficult angles to Mercury in Aries, your solar sixth house of your current day job. (This area of your chart does not affect reputation or prestige.) Something may happen here, too, that forces you to find solutions to problems. You may have encountered similar problems before, but this time it will look different and more difficult to solve.
Rather than using tried and true methods (which won’t work), try something completely new, for Saturn only visits Capricorn once every 29 years, and he wants to see your innovations. If you have to take some unconventional risks, do it. (Yes, Saturn hasn't been in Capricorn since 1988-1991.) This is a very special period for you. Saturn will be with you for the next three years (until December 2020), and you will achieve great personal growth.
While all of this is happening, you also see difficulties with home and family. You run around trying to appease everyone in your life. If you feel as though you’re facing four closed walls as April begins, I completely understand and sympathize - this shall pass. This is not the best period for career advancement, and changes in living conditions are not easy, dear Capricorns. Now continue to master and hone your professional skills and I will tell you when the right time is to move forward. Last year was a good time to make progress, this year you need to be patient.
Mercury retrograde in early April also makes things worse, starting from March 22nd until April 15th. This time Mercury is retrograde in Aries, your home sector. I bet you won’t be surprised to hear this! What could possibly go wrong? Who am I kidding, this isn't actually funny. If you recently bid on a house, you may have been dismayed to find out that your bid was lost, or that the bank lost your documents and was unable to approve your loan in time. These are just examples, you get the idea. Let’s talk about setbacks!
If you and your family are trying to decide how specifically to help your mother or father, it may seem like your first idea isn't as good as you thought. You may need to make adjustments. Mercury stations direct on April 15, but it won't be strong right away - give yourself a week or more.
Your family life will become increasingly important, reaching a peak on April 15 with the new moon in Aries, 26 degrees. Uranus, the planet of surprises, will be conjunct the Sun and the new moon. This tells me that whatever happens will get your attention, like a bolt of lightning in the sky. Maybe you will spend money, but that may be a good thing, not necessarily a bad thing, we don’t know yet. The results could be great - you might be approved to apply for a mortgage or refinance a mortgage, or start a kitchen renovation. Or, conversely, you're dealing with something you've never seen before, like a fallen tree in your yard, or a roof that's been soaked, or a living room wood floor that's buckled from heavy rain leaking through the windows.
New moons always set up trends that last for five or six months, and what happens at this time will keep you going until late August, September or October. Be prepared to work out any issues and details that arise during this new moon, and you will be in a better position six months from now.
Pluto in Capricorn will be in difficult aspect with the Sun and the New Moon on April 15, and will be in the influence of Uranus, which will be very difficult. It seems like there are issues that need to be resolved, or someone related to your family is putting pressure on you and making you nervous. This person might be your landlord, roommate, contractor, architect, or a family member who demonstrates authority. Your nerves are on edge.
However, Pluto and Uranus also bring good news. The two planets have moved out of their direct square (2012 to 2015), and although these two powerful planets are still technically in orbit, they are slowly moving apart, which is astrologically known as "not applicable" (not coming together). This will make the phase weaker and calmer - which is great!
The only Capricorns who will feel the Pluto effects I have described are those born between January 11th and 17th. If this isn't you, I suspect you're feeling some of the tension that Pluto is bringing. If this is the case, there may be positive aspects in your chart that I am not seeing and that would alleviate the Pluto issue to a great extent. |
