April 2013 horoscope - Capricorn

I follow the sidereal calendar; this is the April 2013 horoscope for birthdays from 15th January to 12th February or Capricorn Ascendants and Moons

Capricorn, if you have been facing some miscommunication around finances, delays in getting a cheque signed or something appeared a bit shady, then April should start off on a better note. This also means that if you are having to negotiate deals, you are able to get your point across very clearly in April.

Generally speaking, the first 10 days in April, will see you busy communicating and interacting with your immediate environment, your neighbours, siblings or colleagues. Your ideas and suggestions are well received now and any activities to do with sales, deal making, getting your point across and putting pen to paper are well-starred. Capricorns are known for being somewhat straight forward and always with their eye on the prize but this month you may find yourself being a lot more flexible with the ability to look at things from a different perspective, considering alternative options. With Saturn, your ruler, in retrograde motion at the most visible point in your chart, you may face a few hurdles in implementing your well thought through plans, however, the new discoveries you'll make this month, insights you'll gain or alternatives you consider may prove valuable in the long-term. Underpinning all of this is the fact that you are in a bit of an overhaul of your life, life direction and career. Saturn and the North node/Rahu are in your house that rules your direction in life as well as your vocation for the 1 1/2 to 2 years, asking you to get rid of some outdated ideas and attitudes to make sure you remain either on the right path or to help you shift onto the road you're meant to be on. This is not an easy process for anyone, not by any means, but in particular if you are one of those Capricorns who have worked hard on building their lives based on inherited principles and established text-book careers. However, it's likely that in the past years, you have been a little dissatisfied with your progress or chosen path in life, so now you are having a good think about what is right for you and whether a complete overhaul is required. While this primarily affects your profession and where you see yourself in five years’ time, it is a result of you changing as a person and therefore, also has an impact on your relationships. In this process, April 2013 is one of the more intense months of the year for you as we are gearing up to the lunar eclipse on 25th April – one of 5 eclipses this year hitting your area of life direction.

Leading up to the eclipse, there is an intense last quarter Moon at the beginning of April that comes arm in arm with Pluto in your house of behind the scenes activities. This can be a time of returns and reviews as well as a time of harvest and this Moon phase is connected to last year’s full Moon in early July. So think about what happened then and what, for you, is now in its final stages and what you might have to let go. It’s typically a very busy time where you finish up things from the past.

After the 10thApril, the temperature rises somewhat as both Mars and Venus move into quite an emotional part of your chart and into the sign of Aries. Both are in opposition to Saturn, the taskmaster of the zodiac which means that quick progress meets restrictions and challenges. This can make you a little short-tempered if things don't move as fast as you would hope, especially connected to selling and buying property, home refurbishments or when planning family trips out. Be aware of possible temper tantrums this month. There may also be some challenges connected to your job - if you are looking for a new one, there could be some going back and forth with contacts or if you have been working on a promotion, then you may have to slow down a little and don't push too hard.

Whatever it is you're experiencing in April, the lunar eclipse on 25thcan intensify events. As with all full Moons, our emotions are heightened and we react from the heart rather than the head so these times are often also marked with changes in relationships as they affect our emotional affairs.  However, tied into an eclipse, it might be time of powerful change, transformation and a turning point for many Capricorns. In recent years, I started paying very close attention to the eclipses am now convinced that that these times often marks endings or culmination and turning points, they are the wild cards of the transits, the bonus cards or the lottery wins. They shake us up so that we can move from one level of evolution and maturity to another, higher phase, fairly rapidly. They bring along those monumental break-ups, make-ups or general changes in status. Whatever it may be, they often signify the point of no return when we are asked to simply move forward in our lives. These times are often major catalysts in our life that provide the fuel for huge transformations. For you, as for the other cardinal signs, this lunar eclipse can indeed have to do with a change in career or place of work. Something you have been working on or working towards is coming to an end now, a peak and a conclusion. During this time, you are crossing a bridge in this area of your life - again, this can also have an impact on the place you call home from now on. Equally, as the lunar eclipse is in one of the angular house of your chart and therefore touches a number of areas, there can be a heavy focus on your most committed relationship where you are likely to face some upheaval - for good or bad.
  Have a monumental month, Capricorn!
