Aquarius Monthly Horoscope April 2009 | Astrology Zodiac Sign: Aquarius

(Jan 20 - Feb 19)

Pluto's retro phase gives you months to consider other ways to express your power, talent and awareness. Instead of pushing your energy in one direction, redirect a little bit at a time until you find the perfect sweet spot. You can't suddenly leap from one edge of a widening crevasse to the other without expecting a fall. Move with precision, care, and acute awareness. Pluto is a perfecter that works slowly and laboriously with thin layers of time until the perfect moment is made. You cannot rush Pluto. You can drive yourself mad, but you can't make Pluto make any process faster. This is your hardest, most profound lesson right now. I know that it seems to have been going on forever. But every moment, painful and joyous, is meaningful and life changing.

The Full Moon on the 9th is extremely revealing in terms of your career, relationships and future. You look very honestly into your own eyes and deeply into your heart. Some things are tough to admit. You've been unhappy, but were stubbornly unable to admit it. Now, you cautiously acknowledge your creeping lack or satisfaction.

On the 15th, you have an opportunity to express your long chained down heart and soul and just let it go. It feels incredibly liberating to be free like an eagle soaring high overhead. Things continue to reveal themselves toward the end of the month. Instead of feeling trapped and tormented by self-imposed limitations that make you feel you've failed (you haven't, btw!), spread your golden glorious wings and head cross-country. Has it occurred to you that you're in the wrong location? Could better people and opportunities that feed your very responsive spirit be residing elsewhere?
